Hermione Granger,

You never really understood me, but then again who did?

Your probably wondering why im writing this letter, I guess the truth is that before I go I need to tell someone the truth and I know that you will never judge me.

I get that I have been a total arse to you but you need to understand the reasons for my doing. My life is a mess. My father beats me and is one of the highest death eaters and my mother is an alcoholic who is completely oblivious to what's happening around her.

Because of this im forced to follow in my father's footsteps, as you very well know.

But, Granger, What If I didn't want to follow him? What if I don't really want to be a Death eater and kill innocent people?

I hate this world and I hate all the death eaters. I hate Voldemort. I would like nothing more then to see his blood poor on to the floor.

Believe it or not I think muggles and muggleborn and squibs have the same equality to everyone else. We are all the same; but of course I don't need to be telling you this.

I need to you know that from the very beginning I regretted treating you like crap and it has pained me so much over the years. I can't stand to see you get hurt; I can't stand to see you cry.

I'm sitting here writing this to you so you know someone cares, someone who will always be there for you, If not in person then through these letters.

I'm going into hiding; Hermione. Dying for the order is not something im planning on doing considering im a coward. Too much of a coward to tell you face-to-face that I have been in love with you for nearly seven years.

I love you Hermione Granger.

Sincerely

Draco Malfoy
