Author's Note: It's been a few days since I last updated, but here it is. This letter seems to be a bit longer than the other ones. I still don't know how long this is going to be, but right now, I'm pretty sure I've got a lot more to write. I'm working on another piece called Don't You Forget About Me. I haven't posted it yet, mainly because there isn't much to post. I'm sure that once I work on it a bit more, I'll give you some more info about it. There's a little bit about it in my profile if you want to check it out.

As always, Read and Reaview please. It gives me motivation to write better and faster.


Traveling Soldier

Hermione,

Getting to headquarters is harder than I thought. The attack went as planned, and all of the Death Eaters involved were captured. There weren't too many there, but at least it made an impact. As soon as they were all taken away, I was summoned to the Dark Lord. He is sending me with a group of Death Eaters into muggle London. We're supposed to attack an entire street of muggles in their homes. I don't want to kill them, but I'll have to in order to complete my mission for the Order. I wont be able to make it to headquarters for a few more days. I'm not sure if I'll have another mission for the dark side between the muggle attack and my expected date at HQ.

I'm glad that you are doing what you want instead of doing what others expect of you. I think that it takes a lot of courage to be able to do that. I wish I had that sort of courage. As for after this war, I plan on finding a normal job, possibly at St. Mungo's, and then maybe if anyone will have me, I'll get married and have a few kids. I've always wanted children. They're absolutely wonderful, besides the obvious tantrums every now and then. Do you want children? You didn't mention that in your letter. I'm pretty sure that any man would be lucky to have a bunch of bushy-haired brainiacs running around the house. Your little girls, they would be so beautiful. Like their mother of course. And your sons, they would be more intelligent than any other young men around.

I hope to see you soon. Will you be at headquarters when I arrive? I'll be fine if you're not, but it would be nice to see someone who's on my side and understands what I'm doing. Potter still doesn't trust me completely. He thinks that once I get enough information out of The Order, I'll run back to daddy dearest and tell him. And Ron, Merlin knows that he'll never trust me. It's a shame that some people never grow up.

How is Hogsmeade? I haven't been through there for a few days and I haven't been informed of another attack there. Is there rubbish everywhere and houses left in shambles? I hope not. I don't want you to be there if there is another attack. They're specifically targeting muggleborns and squibs. They've got a list of all people who aren't purebloods that they're planning on killing.

After the war, if my father isn't captured, I may have to go into hiding. I know for sure that he'll hunt me down and try to kill me. If that happens, I wont be able to write you nearly as often. Maybe once or twice every couple of weeks. I can't risk being caught in that situation. You understand, don't you? Of course you do. You're Hermione Granger. You understand everything. You'll wait for me, right? I promise that once everything is over, I'll take you out. Maybe we'll go to a fancy restaurant in muggle London. I want to give us a try. I know that in our situation, it isn't possible for the time being. You'll wait for me, right?

When I write these letters to you, I know that I've got someone back home waiting for me to return. It gives me hope, Hermione, that when it's all over, we'll both be happy. Do you have that same hope? Can you imagine what people would say about us? I don't think the gossip would ever end. And poor Pansy. She'd be absolutely heartbroken. She's been vying for my attention for years.

If anything ever happens to me, I want you to live your life to it's fullest. I don't want you to spend all of your time mourning over me. I want you to get married and have boatloads of kids. Most of all, I want you to be happy, even if that happy life doesn't include me. You deserve it. Especially after all you've been through. I can't imagine what it must be like to be you. You never had much of a choice about your life. You were kind of dropped into a place that you knew nothing about, and you've bee ridiculed for your blood, which is another thing that you could never control. Some day, hopefully soon, people will realize that muggleborns never had much of a choice in this world. If anything, you're more special than purebloods. It's easy for one pureblood family to breed with another, but when a muggle couple as a magic child, it's rare. You are a rare kind of person, Hermione. You are rare and very special to me.

I cannot wait until we can see each other.

I won't keep you waiting much longer, I promise.

With love,

Draco Malfoy
