Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter or any characters associated. They all belong to the wonderful J.K. Rowling. I am not making any money from this story and am writing purely for fun.
A/N: This is back in Draco's POV and is the last chapter solely composed of letters. Jacklyn is the name I decided for Blaise's wife, because none was given, and I really don't see him and Pansy getting married...Anyway, here is chapter 7. Enjoy! :)
Dear Harry,
I miss you so much. I know you miss me too. It's been nearly seven weeks since you started your mission. I wonder if you've even started working or training for the actual field work yet. It makes me wonder why it was so urgent for you to leave if you aren't even doing anything yet. I wish you were here. Minister Shacklebolt says you wish that you had something with my scent. I gave him Steve. He really isn't doing much for me here anymore. He doesn't talk to me or hold me back. I really just want you back. I've been looking more seriously into getting a dog. I think an Alaskan Husky would be the best. I've heard that they are extremely loyal to their owners. I'm waiting for you to get home so we can pick one out together. Pansy told me that a friend of hers recommends a female instead of a male Husky because they don't get as aggressive. I put a stasis charm on Steve after I gave him one last big hug for you. Work with Severus is going well. He is teaching me how to brew more advanced potions. Mother came by the other day to check on me. She just wants to make sure that I'm not thinking dark thoughts while you're gone. Healer Maccabee thinks that I'm doing well, considering the circumstances. I'm trying to stay positive for you, Lion. I miss you so much. Severus has come over to discuss duties for the shop while he is gone on holiday next week, so I must go. I love you so much, Harry.
Please come home soon,
Draco
Dear Harry,
Two months into a three weeks mission. I miss you so much. I really wish you were here. I feel distracted. I really don't want to worry you because you need to stay completely focused, but I had a small accident in the lab yesterday. Mother took me to St. Mungo's for a small concussion and a few broken ribs. I wasn't paying attention to how many times I was stirring a highly finicky potion. Fortunately, the blast was contained to my own personal station, so clean up will be easy. I hope that Steve is keeping you company. I'm sure that he isn't the same, but I hope he helps with some of the loneliness. Minister Shacklebolt stopped in two days ago to check in. He says that you caught a small hex in training last week. Please be careful. I know that Hermione was able to fix it without any trouble, but please stay safe. I really need your opinion on the dog. I've been going to a few of the Muggle shelters in London and have found three beautiful dogs. I know that you probably want me to get one now, but I don't want to make that decision until you get back. I can see you rolling your eyes at my moment of dependence, but she will be your dog as well. Mother is calling me for supper. Please be careful, Lion. Don't let your Gryffindor courage and bravery get in the way of common sense. I love you so much, Harry.
Please come home soon,
Draco
Dear Harry,
Nine and a half weeks. Please tell me you are nearly finished with this mission. Minister Shacklebolt keeps telling me that the mission is getting closer to completion, but I'm having trouble believing him. I don't understand why you are required to stay there if nothing is happening. I wish that you could come home until you were actually needed, but I know that you can't. I don't know why, but Minister Shacklebolt seems to be getting more anxious about this mission the longer it continues. It makes me wonder if the rest of the Ministry knows about this assignment and leads me to believe that they don't. Pansy and Blaise came by the house today. Blaise brought his children. They are so cute. Little Caden is almost eight and not so little anymore. Jazlyn looks more and more like Jacklyn every time I see her. They were asking for Uncle Harry, and it made me want to cry. I miss you so much, Harry. I wish you were here. I know I keep saying that, but it's true. Mother visited again. She's been stopping by a lot more often since the potions accident. Severus got back from Holiday yesterday, so I don't need to be at the apothecary every day now. Severus is worried about me. He doesn't say it, but it's all over his face. Every little thing that happens that is out of the ordinary, he hovers. It's strange. I'm glad he's there for me, but it's also weird because it just isn't like him. Anyway, I'm rambling. I miss our nightly talks. Please stay safe and be careful as you start official field work. It's really late here, and I'm going to bed. I love you so much, Harry.
Please come home soon,
Draco
A/N: Thank you so much for reading! Please leave me a review letting me know your thoughts! I really am interested in what you have to say. Also, I am almost finished with this story...hopefully. Draco and Harry may decide that they don't like where I've planned to end the story, but I digress. Again, thank you so much for reading! Have a marvelous day!
