I woke up with the cold feeling of metal on my chest. The rings. I sat up on the bed, an apparent loud tap echoed in my head.

Damn, my head hurts.

The tapping gradually grew louder and the throb in my head increased with it.

"Go away," I mumbled. The tap resumed.

Huffing with annoyance, I glanced at the window where an owl tapped mercilessly on my window upon the orange sky.

I wonder how long its been there?

Trudging towards the window, I opened it and the owl pecked me enough on the hand to hurt but not bleed. Cursing quietly, I took the rolled up parchment from the owl's leg and watched as it took off into the sky. Leaning against my study desk right next to the window, I fixed my eyes upon the paper.

Pulling the red ribbon from the parchment, and unrolling it; I was met with neat scribbles.

A message from Harry and Ginny most likely.

Sitting on my bed, I began to read it slowly.

Hermione,

How have you been? I'm worried! It's been awhile since I – well, we – have seen and talked to you. May you please visit us soon? I've missed you so much. WE miss you so much – god Harry is watching me right now as I write this to you. We want to hear news from you, Hermione.

I know it's been really hard for you and that you still want to be alone with your thoughts but…it's been three years 'Mione. Please, come back to us. Harry insisted on us apparating to your home, but I didn't want us to intrude by any means. Just write back to us if you're willing to come here. You're always welcome here, you know that right? Mum and dad miss you so much as well. Mum actually won't stop pestering Harry and I about you she even said to "drag her, Stun her, do any means if you must! I want to see my child!" Her words! Not mine!

I chuckled and then suddenly frowned at the guilt that followed.

She still considers me her child even after leaving them without a word.

Anyways, I know I sound really whiny right now and all SO I'll just tell you about the things that had currently happened. First of all, Fleur is due approximately next week. Can you believe it?! I'm extremely excited! Bill won't stop talking about it…said he would be the best father alive.

My chest tightened immediately at the thought.

"Once we have a baby, I'll swear in my bloody life that I will be the best husband and father in the whole world."

I swallowed thickly and continued to read.

Harry…proposed to me too. I was so happy I couldn't believe it was happening already! But I (I know this may sound selfish but;) I wanted you so badly to be there that time, Mione. I'm sorry I'm saying such things but…I missed you so much.

I frowned guiltily, I did wish I was there.

Gah! I'm so not crying right now, if you think I am.

That's the only thing right now OH WAIT! Scratch that.

I heard something about the Malfoys.

My interest suddenly perked up.

I heard the Malfoys are currently living in the Muggle world. My dad – er, as you would have known we were eavesdropping again – said they were found in Muggle London, just close to where you are living. The Ministry didn't give a damn about it though, implying that they weren't really part of the Death Eaters.

Bloody cowards, I say! Both the Malfoys and the Ministry! We all knew the Malfoys ran away before the last part of the war started. The Ministry are just trying to patch up secrets so they won't get involved with the Death Eaters which are currently hunting down the Malfoys for their "betrayal". Lifeless morons; even though I despise the Malfoys, there shouldn't be a reason as to why they're being hunted down. It's not like they did anything bad to them, the bloody ferret actually helped defeat Voldemort! And Narcissa helped Harry, right? I'm so conflicted right now as to whether I should support the Malfoys or not. I'm blabbing again, sorry.

Lastly, hear me out on this okay, Hermione? PLEASE just visit us. Even once is enough. We just want to see you. Anytime is fine, we're not in any hurry at all, we're just worried and we want you to know that we're still here for you with open arms. Alright? I'll just give you a big hug from this parchment. Haha I wrinkled it, my apologies. Anytime, any day, we'll be here. Love you so much, Mione. Harry said so too!

Hope to see you soon,

Your bloody sis/bro,

Ginny&Harry

Folding the paper in half, I went to the window and stuck my head outside, scanning the environment. I felt the coldness surround me, my body fizzling with the desire to hunt.

So…the Malfoys are here?
