A Love Worth Fighting For - Dramione [ON HOLD]

The Letters

Hermione's POV

After the war, I tried to locate my parents but found out that they had already adopted a little girl and named her Hermione. That was by far the most heartbreak I have ever felt. I know it is no longer possible to restore their memories. They are happy and safe and I don't want to take their happiness away from them. I live in the house I grew up in alone now. Ron asked if I wanted to stay at the Burrow but things have been awkward between Ron and I since the war ended. He wants him and I to be a couple but I just don't feel that way about him. I used to but that was years ago. I stopped liking him after he was completely rude to me at the Yule Ball in fourth year. I have gotten a few letters from both Harry and Ron, a letter or two from George, more than a few from Mrs. Weasley asking me how I am, and a large number from Ginny. No one really knows why I've been shutting them out. They don't know that about my parents. They think my parents just wanted to stay in Australia after I restored their memories... because that's what I told them. 

I'm sitting on my bed reading the muggle news paper when I hear a tap on my window. "Who could that me?" I ask myself out loud. I open the window but I don't recognize the owl but then I see that the letter has the Hogwarts seal on it! I open the letter after giving the owl a treat. The letter read:

Dear Miss Granger, 

We are pleased to inform you that you as well as the rest of last years 7th have been invited back to Hogwarts to complete your final year. Please find enclosed a list of all necessary books and equipment. 

We are also pleased to inform you that should you choose to return, we would like to offer you the position of Head Girl.

Term begins on 1 September. We await your owl by no later than 31 July. 

Yours sincerely, Headmistress Mcgonagall. 

I let out some sort of squeal I didn't even know could come out of my mouth but I don't care because I get to go back to Hogwarts! And I'm Head Girl! I decide to write a letter to Harry, Ron, and Ginny to ask if they're going to be returning as well as to ask Harry if he is Head Boy or knows who is. Strange that the Headmistress didn't tell me. Oh well, I'll find out soon enough. I scribble up three letters and send them off to the Burrow and then take out another piece of parchment as my reply to the Headmistress about returning as well as the position of Head Girl. 

A few hours later I hear a tap on my window and see that it was a letter from Harry, Ron, and Gin. I opened the letter to see that Harry was the first to write to me.

Hello Hermione! I hope your summer is going well! I just wanted to let you know that Ginny and I will for sure be returning but Ron might need some convincing. Congratulations on Head Girl 'Mione! I am not Head Boy nor do I know who is but I'm sure that whoever it is will be someone who is smart and probably played in important part in the war. Again, I hope you are doing well and that we can meet up sometime soon! I miss you 'Mione! Ginny does as well but I think Ron misses you the most. I don't think he's quite over that crush he had on you. Hope to see you soon!

 Love your brother - Harry. 

Hey 'Mione! It's me Ginny! I am really missing you right now. Mum is out with Fleur doing I don't know what so I'm the only girl. I've almost gone insane from Ron's constant complaining. Complaining about not seeing you, about missing you, about who's going to be Head Boy and share a common room with you, but mostly he complains about Harry and I. He just doesn't understand that Harry and I love each other! Any who, I really miss you! I hope to see you soon and can not wait until school starts again so that we can spend months together! Write soon!

With love, your best friend Ginny. <3

Hey there Mione. I really miss you! I see that Harry and Ginny have been complaining about me but you haven't seen them! Constantly together talking about I don't want to know what. I don't know if I will be returning to Hogwarts or not. Let's weigh out the pros and cons and see which wins - you tell me. Cons- I would have to do more school. I would not go to Auror Training for almost another year. Pros- I would get to see you everyday. I could keep all the other guys - especially the Head Boy - away from you. I could have a better chance with you. On that note, I still really like you and want to be more than friends. There aren't other guys like me Mione so just think about what you'd miss out on if you say no! I love you Mione, and as more than just a friend. I truly do. I really hope you make the right decision. - Your future husband (Ron).

I loved reading Harry and Ginny's letters but Ron's made me very angry. All he did in his letter was tell me how brilliant he was, complaining, and basically calling me stupid. The reason I say that is because I am so over him. Have been since 4th year since I started to like Dra-Malfoy. Wait no. I'm over him too. I can not possibly still like him can I? I thought I was for sure over him but now I'm not so sure... I wonder if he will be back for 8th year? I hope so! No matter how hard I try, I can't seem to convince myself that he's bad. He never has been. He was the boy who had no choice. He and I had become civil during 6th year and he told me what was happening. I didn't tell anyone because I didn't want to put one of my friends in danger. Yes, Draco and I are friends. Maybe I could just owl him to ask if he's returning? I don't know if he even considers me a friend after the war. It really tore people apart. I think I'm just gonna do it. Yes, I have decided that I, Hermione Granger, am going to send a letter to my friend, Draco Malfoy, and ask him to meet up sometime and whether or not he is going back to Hogwarts.

Dear Draco, 

Hello! Hermione here. I was just writing to ask how you were and how your summer has been? I know that with your father in Azkaban for the remainder of the year it's just you and your mother. I do hope she is coping well but how are you doing? I know what it's like to lose a parent. Just remember it's only for a few more months. I appreciated the letter you sent me after yours, your mother's, and your father's trial. It truly did mean a lot to me. I was wondering if you wanted to meet up sometime soon? Either Wizard or Muggle world is fine. I know that we have a far better chance of not being caught by reporters if we go to that muggle coffee shop like we did the week after your time in Azaban was done. I have so much I want to talk to you about and lots of questions for you to answer, I mean, you know me ;). I hope to see you sometime soon! 

-Your friend, Hermione :)

I attach the letter to my owl and send it to Draco. I hope he still considers me a friend and will agree to meet up with me!
