Author's Note: New chapter. This one is from Hermione to Draco. I'm not sure how much longer this will be. As Draco said, the war is only going to last about a week or two... Hope you all enjoy.

Traveling Soldier

Dear Draco,

I'm glad that you are safe with the Death Eaters at the moment. What will happen after the attack? What will you say to your father when they are all taken away? Will you be safe then?

I have a bad feeling about this war. It seems like it's been going on for years already. Even if Voldemort is defeated, will they ever give up? I've got many questions running through my mind, but I know that I will have to wait for answers. There have been more attacks around here recently, even after they destroyed Hogsmeade. They still come back and look for people coming out of hiding. I don't know where to go. If I go to Hogwarts there is always the chance that the plan will not work and the school will be destroyed. I would be devastated if that happened. Hogwarts is like a second home to me. I cannot go to my parents because they are in the process of moving to the U.S. They say it's safer there, but they haven't realized that everywhere you go there is danger.

I'm worried about you. Are you eating right? Getting enough sleep? I'm sure I sound like an over bearing mother now, but I truly do care for you. About what you said in that letter, about love, I agree. It might seem soon for some people, but it feels like I've been in love with you forever. But I know that isn't true. You and I never got along until after school. Do you ever wish that you could go back in time and change something? Sometimes I wish that I could go back and change the way we treated each other in school. It was cruel, but I understand that it was the way you were raised. You've changed in a lot of ways. While we were in school you were always full of yourself and didn't like 'mudbloods'. I'm glad that you changed. If you hadn't, can you imagine where you'd be today? I mean no offense by saying that you would probably be just like your father. You and I both know that it is true.

When this war is over, what do you plan on doing? Not too many people have thought about what will happen after it's all over, but I believe that if you think about good things in the future, it will give you something to look forward to. Are you looking forward to anything? Once the war is over I want to settle down and maybe find a husband. I'll of course keep my café open. There is no way I could ever close it. Before I came to Hogwarts, I always knew that I wanted to open a café. A lot of people told me that I was holding myself back from greater things. I know that I could be doing something amazing, but that's not what I want to do. I don't want to be known by everyone. I enjoy running my small café in the middle of Hogsmeade.

Please be safe? Don't do something that you'll regret later. Contact me as soon as you are in headquarters so that I know you made it through okay.

With Love,

Hermione
