AN: This goes out the wonderful song Into the Ocean, by Blue October.

Harry,

I've hooked up with Ginny a few more times. But she's blocking out less and less each time. Or maybe I'm just feeling more and more. So I broke into Snape's storage room again.

Remember when we used to do that?

But I had to feel something, anything else, so I took some Belladonna. The Muggles say that Belladonna has roots strait to Hell. That demons hunt you down when you use it.

It causes severe hallucinations, though, I know that. Beacause I took some.

Ginny would be so mad if she found out. Are you? My mum would just be sad… She wouldn't recognize me.

But I had to feel something, Harry, even if it was fear, terror, as long as I wasn't sad…

Maybe you understand? I think you would, Harry. I think you do.

Love Always,

Hermione
