Disclaimer: I own a poster of harry potter, seven books, and five movies. Thats about it.
(A.N./ Thanks for the reviews guys! Last chapter kind of blew, awkward interlude if you will.... Hopefully this one will be better. Next chapter will be back at Hogwarts, so, it will be much better written then this chapter and the previous one. Thanks for putting up with me everyone!)

Hermione had come home briefly in between Ronald's house to wish her parents a Happy Holidays and to spend some time with her family, who had drifted father and father away from her over the years.
"Hey mum!" Hermione yelled walking through to door to be greeted by her mother who looked strikingly like her.
"Hermione!" Her mother came over to hug her.
"How are you all? Wheres dad?" Hermione looked around her familiar home.
"He is in the kitchen with your uncle. Oh by the way, You got a letter a few days ago." Her mother said walking over to the tidy living room and on the coffee table sat one letter. She picked it up and gingerly brought it over to Hermione.
"A Letter? From who?" Hermione took the letter and looked at the hand writing.
"I believe its from a Mr. Malfoy, is he a friend?" Her mother smiled at her, unknowing of what Hermione's life had become.
"Yeah mum, just a friend. If you don't mind I'm going to run up to my room for a moment, I'll be down soon." Hermione smiled as her mother did as well. She walked quickly up to her room with the letter. She sat on her neatly made bed for a moment looking at it. Why did he send something to her through Muggle post? How did he? It was all a mystery to her. After a few minutes she teared open the letter and began to read it.
Dear Granger,
I took your advice by contacting Dumbledoor. In fear of Voldemort intercepting messages I sent a very small note to him. I managed to meet with him in Muggle London briefly as we discussed things. None of it could wait until we got back to school, luckily the whole situation went unnoticed. I'm walking on thin ice here. I told him everything, right down to the details. I have to give you some credit, he is an understanding man. He told me somethings that cannot be repeated. Plans and such, I have decided to take up the cause and spy on both ends. I might as well be put through the pain for a reason if I am to go through with all of this. Besides the fact that Snape went behind my back and made a vow to protect me, who the deuce knows why. I can't divulge too much more right now- its too unsafe. Due to that fact is why I have sent this through Muggle post to your home. I do believe you mentioned something about stopping back home from Weaslebee's house at some point? I hope so... If not I suppose I will have to explain everything in school. Dumbledoor knows by the way, about us. What a creepy old man. How the bloody hell does he find these things out?! Merlin, you would have thought he could have taken Voldemort by now... ;)
Happy Holidays.
Love Always,
Draco Malfoy.
P.S.: If you do write back, send it muggle post back to the return address, no worries I will be able to get it.
Hermione stared at the parchment in her hands she then pulled out a piece of parchment and ink from her draw and began to write.
Dear Malfoy,
I am really proud that you went to Dumbledoor to talk about business with him,it needed to be done and I'm glad you made the right choice. Although, I do hope your not getting yourself in too deep Draco, Its really dangerous to spy. How you managed to send me Muggle Post I am not going to question. I quite honestly don't know if I have the patients to find out how. Dumbledoor works in funny ways Malfoy, how he figured out I don't know but after all... give him some credit... it is Dumbledoor. And who knows? Maybe he is just holding out on us all. I sincerely doubt it but hey, just an idea. ;)Well maybe Snape isn't so bad after all. I don't know why your complaining though. He never gave the Slytherins problems. I hope your safe, and have a good rest of the Holiday. I'll see you Monday :]
Lots of Love,
Hermione Granger 3
Without waiting she ran down stairs and grabbed an envelope and stuck the letter in. she jotted down some addresses and stuck a stamp on it. She ran quickly down the street, dodging people and trying not to slip on the snow to the Post office. Hermione quickly sent off the letter and went back home, to quietly enjoy the rest of her winter brake.
(A.N.) Yes I know, another very short chapter. I am going to be out most of this week and the weekend so I am not entirely sure when I will be able to update. I promise I will give you a nice long one next time ;) Also, I am stuck home all next week so I'm sure I will be able to update quite a few times. :) R&R 3
