Author's Note: I think that all of you already knew that I'd continue this. I just posted the first chapter about... five minutes ago. The next one will be out soon. This one is going to be pretty short, as will the rest of them. But they're short for a reason. Hope you enjoy.
Traveling Soldier
It was a few days before Hermione received the first letter. She was fixing up her house to make it suitable for her parents to visit when their was a tap on her window. She'd been on the edge waiting for a letter since the moment Draco left. Quickly she opened the window and was shocked when she didn't rip the owl's leg off in excitement.
Hermione,
I'm safe today. I figured that would be the first thing you'd want to know.
My mother and father are with me. I'm currently getting information to provide the Order. It isn't as easy as one would think, especially with who my father is. He only allows me limited information, which isn't important enough to disclose in this letter.
I'm hoping that you are safe. Have the Death Eaters hit Hogsmeade yet? I'm not sure when they plan to do so, but as soon as I know, I will tell you so that you can go somewhere safe.
They plan to hit Hogwarts soon. Which means that you are getting closer to danger. I'm not sure if they'll succeed. Hogwarts is one of the safest places around, and with the headmaster there, Voldemort certainly will be hesitant. But, since Hogwarts is such a safe haven, it will probably be one of the largest attacks.
I've been feeling down lately. There is so much going on that I can't help with. I feel helpless, but I know that I'm contributing a little bit of support to the light.
A day hasn't passed that I haven't thought about our meeting in your café. Did I tell you that I'm proud of you for opening that place? I always thought you'd do something... bigger. Like working in the ministry or something. But I'm proud of you even more for not following what has always been expected of you. It takes a lot of courage.
Thank you for sitting with me that day. You are one of the first people to make me feel welcome without having to. Ever since I was younger, people have always known that I was the son of a very powerful man, so they HAD to worship the ground I walked on. Thank you for accepting me as who I am, instead of accepting me because you had to. I appreciate it even more because I remember how I treated you in school. I never got the chance to apologize. I'm sorry. But now I've changed, as you've seen. You probably didn't know, but I always envied you. You put all of your effort in things you believed in. You inspired me to change. Thank you for that.
I don't know where I'll be tomorrow, but I'll write as soon as I can. I think of you every day, Hermione. And I cannot wait until I can see you again.
Forever,
Draco Malfoy
Hermione couldn't help but smile at his letter. She hastily wrote a reply and sent it with the owl. Her letter informed him that she was safe and that she appreciated what he said. She also thought of him every day, and hoped to see him soon.
Read/Review please. Just let me know you like it!
