It had been a month since the incident of Harry's supposed death. The other member's of the Order were informed, of course, and on a decision for everyone's benefit Harry took his Auror training at his home.
The Order had decided that it was to their great advantage that Voldemort continue to think that Harry was dead and to keep this up the members posted everywhere: The Daily Prophet, The Quibber, all over buildings. They wanted to make the others scared so Voldemort would think he had won.
"Harry, I do believe our plan is working." Said Dumbledore
"Really?"
"Yes, there have been less attacks on villages because Voldemort thinks he has won and he's not as concerned about tiring out the members of the Order."
"That's good. At least my death is still saving lives!" Said Harry smiling.
"Harry, you dying will not benefit anyone." Said Hermione
"I know, I was joking Hermione." Said Harry rolling his eyes. He loved the girl but she was just too serious at times, can't take a simple joke here and there.
"We have to keep it that way, I do hope this is not interfering with your Auror training." Said Lupin
"Oh no, Harry is doing marvelous." Said Arthur, "He is much ahead of everyone else and that is even after he missed the two months and a few weeks of his training. At this rate I would not be surprised if you graduated from training a little after Hermione graduates from her Healer classes."
"Well, Harry, you impress me every time. Is there something your not good at?" Said Draco raising an eyebrow.
"Draco, not here." Said Harry through the side of his mouth.
Of course, everyone at the meeting heard the comment from the Griffindor and was laughing in not time. Harry loved how everyone was so warm to the idea of the two of them being together. It made life so much easier to live with.
Just when the laughing started die down an owl flew in from the window and landed right in front of Harry causing him to move backward wide eyed.
The owl dropped the letter in front of Harry and flew out the window.
"TO: HARRY JAMES POTTER" Read the letter
"Harry, do you think it's safe?" Asked Hermione as Harry picked up the letter from the table.
"Uh, I'm not sure." Replied Harry as he shrugged.
"Harry, I'll do a quick look over and see." Said Minerva McGonagall.
Harry handed his very much loved head of house the letter and she waved her wand over the letter closing her eyes. After she had finished waving the wand over here eyebrows seemed to show her surprise although her eyes were still closed.
"Well Harry, I DO think you should read the letter in private as it contains information I am sure not even you are aware of. Either than that it is the only warning needed to be given."
Harry took the letter back and looked at it. He shrugged and casually flung it back on the coffee table they were all sitting around and leaned back into his chair.
When the meeting was over Harry was tired from trying to contain his curiosity for the letter.
"Remember Harry, I don't want you leaving this house under any circumstances. Understood?" Asked the Headmaster once again. He's been saying that a lot lately.
Harry nodded and took his letter into his hand as if casually playing with it. On the inside he was about to explode with curiosity.
When most of the members were gone leaving the usual group of members who stayed Harry took out his wand and slipped it in between the flap of the envelope and tore himself an opening to the letter. It was quite the long parchment as Harry realized holding the letter in his hand. It was at least three pages in length.
"Dear Harry.
I do not know what made me write this to you in the first place. I know that I have not been good to you in the past and I can only ask for your forgiveness although, if you chose not to forgive me, I will understand as well. I know I have not been the greatest to you in the past and I can only tell you that I have been watching you for a long time. I notice the way your hair moves, the way your eyes glisten, the way your body moves in perfection. Your voice was what drew me to you, not your hero title, although I thought you had died along with everyone else, I knew and still know that you are very much alive. I have watched you; I am still watching you although you do not know I am. You cannot see me because you no longer notice me as you used to but I see you. I see you in person and I see you in my dreams. I see you everywhere; your presence has taken over me.
You are beautiful Harry Potter and I can only tell you that I am sorry. I have longed for you from day one, the first time I saw you walk into the Great Hall when you were a first year it took my breath away. You still take my breath away with everything you do. Every move you make makes me want to fall to my knees and beg that you forgive me. It has taken much strength for me to restrain myself from such actions and I have come to a decision now Harry, I have decided that I do not care what kind of a fool I look like, I want you to know that I love you. That I have always loved you and that will never change. Although I may not get the pleasure of your touch I need you to know that I still care and that I have always cared.
In my 6th year I was stupid for doing what I did. I left you there, looking like hell and I never explained anything. I just want you to know that I regret that moment with every part of my body and soul. I know you loved me, and I loved you, but I was an idiot and I wish I could turn back time and take it all back. I left you and that has got to be the biggest mistake I have ever made in my entire life. Every time I see you I want to melt into your arms. I no longer cry; I wanted you to know that. I know how much you didn't like it. I want you to know how much I've changed for you. I no longer go after every guy I see like I used to. I no longer look at the memories I had with the dead and remember what I had lost with him. I no longer look for an excuse to live because I have realized that you are all I need. Harry, I need you and I love you and there is nothing I would do to change you. You have only made me a better person and for that, I thank you with all my heart. I want you to know that I will forever wait for you. You do not need to reply, you don't need to know who this is from. I just want you to know that you are loved and that you mean something to someone out there. I thank you, you changed me and you give me a will to live.
All My Love Forever."
Harry looked up as he saw Draco, Hermione, Sirius, Lupin and Severus looked at him with their jaws dropped open.
"Harry?" Said Draco
"Draco." Replied Harry
"Do you know who that was from?" Asked Draco
Harry looked at Draco for a moment, taking in the jealous beauty of his love standing before him.
"Yes I do." Replied Harry
The other's eyes shot wider, if that was even possible.
"Who?" Asked Hermione
Harry took a breath, closed his eyes to swallowed his fear, "Cho, Cho Chang."
