Chapter Eight: The Letter
I woke up to the sound of knocking. I got up to open my door but noticed that there was a letter on the floor. I picked it up and read the envelope. 'Hermione' it read. It was Draco's handwriting.
Dearest Hermione,
Please read this entire letter and not just throw it away because it's from me. I am very sorry for what I did before. I talked to Harry yesterday and I hope he talked to you afterward. As he may have already told you, I love you deeply. I hope that you can find it in your heart to forgive me. And I'm sorry if you don't. Just know that I will always love you. If you wish, we can end our relationship now and go back to the way things were. I truly wish that is not your decision. If that is what you want, I will drop the situation and try to move on. If you want to talk, I am downstairs waiting.
Sincerely yours,
Draco
I read the letter many times before I opened the door and went downstairs. Draco heard me coming and turned around.
"Hermione, I need to tell you something."
"I need to tell you something too."
"Let me go first before you make up your mind." I went and sat down next to him and turned to face him.
"I just wanted to tell you that if you want to end it, I won't try to get you back. I'll respect your decision and leave you alone. And I'm sorry if I have to do that. Now, what did you want to tell me?"
Tears were forming in my eyes. I looked into his eyes, and they looked worried. I took his hand in mine and patted it.
"I wanted to tell you that I love you." He smiled and came in for a kiss and I leaned in also.
