Hermione's opening letter to Draco. Wednesday 8th March, the year 2000. Written from her bedroom 8pm. Outside a cold wind flaps at her windows.

Dear Draco,

Although we have only been apart for six weeks, it feels like a whole lifetime already.

I miss the open road with you, the spontaneous trips, the late night chats till we fell asleep in each others arms.

But mostly, mostly I just miss you,

the way you held me
the way you laughed at my terrible jokes
the way you ruffled my hair
the way you made me feel weak,
the way you made me feel loved,

wanted and adored.

It makes me sad to be away from you,

there are no words to describe it.

It's like a constant cloak of unhappiness which shrouds me each day,

and makes me

fall into dark places.

But then I think of you,

and I smile,

knowing that this distance between us will not last forever,

for our love is too strong,

too sincere, too pure.

I feel it now as I write,

and my hands shake, as I pour out my heart for you on an inky page.

We will be together again my love,

For now, sit tight. We can write, and ride this storm together

and when the clouds clear,

we shall be united under an endless golden sky.

All my Love,

Hermione xxx
