A/N: Fifth letter. This one was really hard to write because of the emotional toll it takes on Draco. I hope you enjoy it, anyway.

Dear Hermione,
I
Hermione, I
Crucio
That's all I had to say. The man stood in front of me, and all I had to say was "Crucio" and I could have gone free and continued with my day…
But I couldn't.
What does that mean? Am I turning into a bloody Gryffindor?
Oh, Merlin, I hope no one reads this.
I got Crucio'd, Hermione…
Because I wouldn't do it to the muggle-born they brought in.
And then… Because of the pain, Hermione, and for no other reason, I swear…
I Crucio'd him.
What is our world turning into, Hermione? I'm seventeen! I shouldn't have to do this and I'm scared that he's going to make me do it again and I don't think I could handle that because I feel ruddy awful, even worse than when I… The Astronomy Tower…
Who am I, Hermione?
Much love,
Draco
