Chapter Nine: Draco's Letter
He needed a plan, and a good one at that. 'I will owl Harry and Ron with my plan...but first I need one...'
PotHead and Weasel...
He tore up that piece of parchment, because he did not like the way that sounded.
Dear Potter and Weasley,
I know you guys don't like me very much, but I need your help and I think you could use mine. Let me explain, after Hermione broke up with Ron she came to me to try and make him jealous. It obviosly worked. Anyway I became her "boyfriend" and we walked together and acted sweet towards each other, except in the...Process I became very, how do you say, Ok this is embarassing so don't tell anyone, I feel in love with her kind, gentle, and caring ways. I love her, anyway.
At the dance I actually did kiss her, which she got mad at me for. I thought Ron might like to know that she spent the rest of the night crying about it and over him. To continue, that night she had a horrible panic attack and had to be sent to Madam Pomfrey's and we kind of both went crazy. We became friends and she decided the past was the past and she'd hurt Ron too much to ever want to be his girlfriend again, sorry. But she did want to be friends again so we went to the Gryffindor tower to fess up, That is when I kissed her, but I did not see you guys until I had done it, sorry.
After you guys went into your common room she hit me really, really, really hard and has refused to even look at me. You have no clue how sorry I am.
He paused to think, "She did walk in on me getting dressed, I could lie and say I wasn't wearing anything. Nah! I shouldn't put any of that in....it'll make them mad."
So, I came up with a plan for us all to get her back, but we still have to "hate" each other so we can. I would like to become friends by the way, I am really trying to change and if Hermione sees that we have become friends (after the plan is through) then she will be so happy...I hope, and that is all I want. You can add changes if you do not like it but please tell me what you honestly think of the plan. The plan is for me to go up and get into a fight with Hermione and you two go up and "save the day", pretty much I walk up to her and try to have a plesant conversation, she gets mad and I call her something mean and that's where you guys come in, do what ever you want, but stick up for her.
All you have to do is be there for her and become friends again. I can't think of what to get her to forgive me unless you two explain to her that we've decided to be friends for her sake. Right now she thinks she has to chose between her friends and it's tearing her apart, but if we're friends it'll be alright and we can both have her as a friend.
Your "Friend"(please),
Draco Malfoy
Draco Thought that the two feet of parchment would be enough to get them to maybe start to trust him since he had not dissed them once, so he started for the owlry, to get his owl. He didn't feel assured that this would work, but he had to try, and hope. He walked down the dirty path to the owlery and thought.
'Could the Weasel be all that bad, I mean Hermione likes them, but she also liked who father made me, that doesn't bode well for her tastes.' Then Draco thought again, 'no, she saw the real me, not the person I made up.'
He made it to the owlry and Harry was there.
'Who would Harry be sending a letter to, I didn't think he had anyone except the people in school...so, who?' This thought tugged on Draco's mind for a while, but he put it in the back of his head as he called out to Harry, "Hey, Harry, I have something for you. Take it." He ran off realizing that he had called Harry his name to his face.
'Did he just use my first name? First Hermione's mood swing from hell and now this? What's going on with those two?' Harry gave his letter to Hedwig and left with Malfoy's cluched in his hand. He went to the boy's dorm to try and get some privacey when he saw that the letter was for Ron as well, so he put the letter under his pillow and would read it with Ron in the library during dinner.
After a boring sestion of doing homework Harry finally cornered Ron in the hall.
"Ron you hungry?"
"Not really, Draco made me lose my appetite in potions." Harry began to smirk.
"Speaking of Malfoy, he gave me a letter adressed to us and we're skipping dinner to read it."
"Well dinner is in five minutes so lets go!" Ron said not really wanting to see what Malfoy had to say.
They ran up the stairs to Harry's bed and grabbed the letter. They opened the letter after running to the library and their jaws dropped.
"Uh, Harry, where's the, the..."
"Parchment?"
"Yes, I want to write him back."
"I brought some just in case, two quills, and an ink bottle too." Harry said in shock at what he read. "I can't beleive he used the word...dear, or 'your friend'? What is all that about?"
"Here give me a quill and a piece of parchment please, Harry." Harry held out the requested utensils and Ron snatched them from his friend and scribbled a response,
Dear Malfoy,
I suppose you want us to call you Draco too, huh? We might be able to get used to that, but you have to call us by our first names too you know. We can support Hermione but you better try to be nice to her, I am dating Lavender so she and I couldn't go out anyway, good luck Hermione is great...but if I find that you have hurt her, well we just won't go there. We will get her back to being our friends, and will try our best to help you too, just because we are nice. You have to earn our trust! Good luck with that too! I like your idea on getting Hermione back though, you are actually pretty smart for how arrogant you are.
Your Friends (for now),
Ronald Weasley and Harry Potter
Harry and Ron ran up to the owlry to send the letter, 'I hope it reaches him soon!' They both thought.
