Author's Note: This is the end. I hope you all enjoy. I appreciate you all sticking around for so long to read it.
Traveling Soldier
Draco,
I know for sure that you will not ever receive this letter. The list of casualties has been released. It was ordered from most important to least. Your name was not far from the top. It has been almost a month since the war ended. It has been a week since the list was released. It has been almost two months since I have heard from you. And now, I have accepted that I will never hear from you again.
Part of me resents you for saying all of those things that we would do. Would we truly have ever gotten married? It was a ridiculous lie. Your people would never accept me, nor mine you. Maybe we were both sinking ships, holding on to each other like driftwood just to stay afloat. You were a perfect distraction from the terrors around me. You gave me perfect hope for the future. And I gave you my heart, wholly. Now, I must accept that you have taken it with you, and you are not returning.
Your funeral is tomorrow. I will go. I'm not sure if I will speak in front of everyone. I have not decided if I will keep you for myself. If I will keep your memory to myself. I find that it has taken you leaving to make me realize not to take life for granted. To spend every day as though it were my last. I will make my life the best that it can be.
It has been a little over two months since we met at headquarters. The day before the list came out, I discovered that I am with child. I am not sorry that our child will not know their father because they will know of him. I will hold onto you for him or her. They will know that their father died protecting them. And they will love you as I have.
Forever,
Hermione Jane Granger
The end!
