Letter 5
Dear Tom
A few things have happened since I last wrote.
I got a letter from Luna! She's been saved, and apparently Harry got away from right under your nose again. Can't feel too good, since you always seem to be just too slow. Or at least the old man version of you is.
Dobby the house elf died. Was killed by Bellatrix, another woman stupidly devoted to you.
Remus's baby has been born, and we all could be happy about something for a change. I was also happy, because Remus let slip that Harry, Ron and Hermione were all safe at Bill and Fleur's. Of course I wanted to go and see them, but nobody will let me out of this blasted place.
And this morning they actually broke into Gringotts! They stole something and escaped on a dragon! I laughed and laughed when I heard. I suppose they are one step closer to destroying you, and you must be frustrated beyond belief again.
I remember how you could rant sometimes. I always found it a little amusing, except when it was directed at me. Then I was scared. I also didn't find it very funny when you ranted against the people at your orphanage. I assumed they treated you horribly, and that you were really just sad. I was really naïve, wasn't I. I suppose you were right when you said…
Sorry Tom, my coin was burning and I had to check. Harry Ron and Hermione have turned up at Hogwarts and Nevil let me know we're all going to go back and make a final stand. Of course I'll go. Fred and George will come and get me, I'm sure. They'll sneak me out so that mum and dad don't notice. Of course, the order will also be going soon.
I have a feeling that tonight might be the night you will finally be gone from this world Tom. Gone forever. The Tom part of you is long gone anyway, so why should I be sad?
Maybe a part of me hopes that there will be some kind of salvation for you, where you will be given a second chance and where you will experience some remorse. Remember me, if that should happen. Remember that, even though I hate you, a part of me will always love you. If I die tonight, I might see you on the other side.
Goodnight, and goodbye
Ginny
