Chapter Five…. Letters.…
Hermione didn't realize that she cried herself to sleep, when she woke up the next morning. She also figured Draco would be sleeping on her couch when she walked out to get coffee, But she was wrong he was gone. Her heart did a little flutter, which she didn't know what it meant. Then she saw a piece of parchment sitting on the table. She walked over and picked it up, it read…
"Hermione, I am sorry for hurting you so. I don't expect you to forgive me so I wont ask you to. I just ask that you at least visit the Grangers, and I hope it will be sometime soon. You were right about everything in the past… But I still care about you. The only reason Snape came that night is because he knew I also had fell for you! I never stopped caring about you!
Love Draco Malfoy."
"You have to start caring to stop." She said to the note, she then folded it up and put it in a drawer in her kitchen as she poured herself a cup of coffee. She then got ready and went to work.
But the surprises weren't over yet. Draco knew one reason Hermione had no want to come back to the wizarding world was because she thought she had no friends. And he knew she wouldn't count him as a friend so when he got back to the Malfoy manner he sent an owl to Harry. He hated doing it but he knew it must be done.
"Harry and Ginny Potter,
I know you don't want to read anything I have to tell you because of the side I chose during the war, but I'm asking for a favor. It's not really for me but for the person I care about. Hermione hates me, more then I ever thought her capable, and she wont come back to the wizarding world because she feels she has no friends. I think that because neither of you or Ron have contacted her since the war is over that you all hate her because she chose not to fight. And I know that isn't the truth. So I'm asking that at least one of you contact her, and talk to her. I know Mrs. Granger would sure appreciate it if you got her to come see them… But I know she would never do it because I asked. I am sorry about taking your friend away from you but you have to know that I did and do love her! So please let her know she still has friends. Draco Malfoy."
Harry read it aloud to both Ginny and Ron, who hated Draco just as much as Harry. Well maybe Ron hated him a little more since he too loved Hermione, yet he had fell for her in their second year. It never sat well with him that she fell for Draco.
"So what do we do?" Ginny asked, she knew if neither of the boys went to Hermione that she would go herself. But she figured it would be better if they went first… they were always closer to her then she was. Ron didn't know what to do and if he went he knew he wouldn't know what to say.
"We all go to see her, to reassure her that she has friends." Harry said, Ginny smiled at him and nodded. She jumped to her feet and started for the closet.
"I'll get the bags, we'll back then leave. We should be there tonight, then we'll go see her tomorrow." Ginny said. Harry and Ron rolled their eyes they knew since the first sign of Draco asking them to go she was figuring the arrangements, her question was merely to get the number of whose going.
"Okay, I'll send her an owl asking her to stay home from work tomorrow." Harry said moving to his desk. Ron just sat there. Harry wrote the letter and he sent Hedwig with the note, even though he didn't sign it he knew she would know it was from him. Ginny went to work backing all of the bags.
When Hermione got home from work that night she saw Hedwig at her front door. She smiled at the owl and opened the door. Hedwig flew in first and Hermione fallowed her into the kitchen. She opened her refrigerator to see if she had anything to give Hedwig and she found grapes, she took a couple out and gave then to her. Hedwig loved them, Hermione was petting Hedwig and that's when Hermione noticed a note attached to Hedwig's leg. Hermione took it and read it.
"Hermione,
Just a little warning, some of your close friends want to come see you so you might want to take off tomorrow to chat. See you soon."
She smiled when she saw Harry's writing. She figured he got use to not signing his name but she didn't need it to let her know it was him. She didn't know why he would choose to come out now, and the plural friends must mean Ron and Ginny, why now? Then it hit her, Draco must of told them. She knew she would have to thank him too. She went to bed with a smile on her face that night, she couldn't wait for her guest to come the next day.
