Author's note: I'm hoping that everyone likes this. I think the next chapter will be a letter from Hermione. I'm not sure if these will be coming out as fast as they have been, but I'm sure that there will be at least 10 chapters by the end of it.

Dear Hermione,

Are you safe? They should be on their way through Hogsmeade right now. I'm worried about you. I think that the best idea for you is to lay low. The Death Eaters are mostly killing the people out in the open or with houses close to the heart of the town.

Last night I learned that Voldemort plans to attack Hogwarts tomorrow. I have already told the Order, and they plan on stopping the attack. Tomorrow is also the day that Voldemort wants me to make my debut as a Death Eater. He wants me to lead the first group of men into the castle.

I'm scared. I've never killed someone. I don't ever want to kill people, especially children. That's all Hogwarts has inside. Children. Poor innocent children who never had a choice in their fate.

I know that in the muggle world religion is highly valued to many of the people. Why is that? Do those people truly believe that 'God' will help them? I wish that in our world their was a 'God'. Maybe he could help us out. Maybe he could have prevented this whole thing from happening. Why would he create hate? How could he allow such a thing to occur in the human race? I think that people who believe in 'God' are surely disappointed these days. Their 'God', the person they worship, isn't doing anything to prevent this forsaken war. Maybe they believe that 'God' is waiting for the opportune moment before he puts a halt to this disaster. I hope so. I hope he helps them out soon. I hope he helps us out soon.

I would give anything to live through this and see you again. I miss your smile already. Sometimes it seems that if I close my eyes I can relive that day in your small café. I remember you told me that I shouldn't fight. The feeling that I got from your words was one that I've never felt before. You were one of the first people to show genuine concern over me. I've also thought about what I wrote in my last letter. The part about me not knowing what these feelings were. I've come to the conclusion that it is love. It makes me feel warm and comforted when I think about it.

Do you love me too, Hermione? It's okay if you don't, I'm not going to stop writing if that's so. I could never stop writing to you. The only reason I would stop is if I was there with you. Home. I'm not even sure where home is these days. I haven't been to the Manor in years. My parent's have always been away, and they've always sent me to stay with relatives.

My letters might not come as often as they have been lately, but don't think it's because I'm ignoring you. There is a high risk of my letters being intercepted these days. I'm going to be staying at the Order headquarters starting tomorrow. I'm not very safe here with the Death Eaters, but as I mentioned above, I'm expected to lead them into Hogwarts tomorrow morning. My plan is to not bring them directly into the building, but bring them through a secret passage, of the headmaster's choice, and hopefully, if all goes well the Death Eaters will be captured by Aurors and taken to Azkaban.

I feel that the dark side is growing weaker. Since they lost the dementors and most of the other dark beings, the humans are having to fight larger and more dangerous battles. Most of the battles have resulted in major losses of Death Eaters. But Voldemort somehow always finds a way to recruit more. I don't know why my father ever joined him. It seems like a big cult. All of the men and women have to give up certain things to this one man who can't do absolutely anything without his people. Imagine if everyone left him. What would he become? Of course he would somehow bribe someone to help him rise again, but that would take enough time for us to gather people to fight against him.

It's getting late, so I'm going to send this letter now. I hope you reply to this letter soon, but please wait until the morning. It's nearly eleven now, and you should be sleeping. Again, I'm hoping that you're safe and that we'll see each other soon.

Love,

Draco Malfoy
