I write this letter to you because I figure you are the only one of your family who would not burn this upon sight. Your family is one of the last pureblood lines, even as you betray our kind. I do not know why I warn you, only that I must. The Dark Lord is coming for you, and he is coming soon. An attack on your family would devastate the resistance and he knows this. Get out of here. Spread yourselves around the world, find the places he would not look at first. He will eventually find where ever you were, but if you keep moving, you may stay alive.

You are our world's only hope. There are some here who work towards a peaceful world, a better world, but they are few and far between. Hope is all we have left. All you have left, anyway. My fate is sealed, but yours is not. I may hate your family and everything they stand for but I will not sit by and watch him destroy our own. So I send this to you as a warning. He will come in a fortnight, when you least expect it. It is your brother's birthday, is it not? Be very far away, or you will all die.

I hope you read this, and did not chuck it into the fire. I know what is happening here and I am too close to change it, but I can help divert the flow of Destiny. If you ever need help, I charge you to call on the Endless. They know me well and will help a friend of mine. Tell them you are a friend. They may spot the lie, but they will also spot the truth.

Live, Ginevra. When the time comes, I will face you in battle. I can think of no better way to die than by your hand and looking into your face.

Sincerely,

Draco Lysander Malfoy
