Order Only: Private Message to Draco (and Harry)

[alt_hermione]

Where are you both?

I had--I keep forgetting what happened. Was there--was there a dragon? Something about flying.

Oh, I wanted to tell Mr Snape, I think there were two potions. That's what's tripped us up, I mean. Two.


For some reason I want some toast. But the Healer says I'm only to have liquids for a while longer. Aspiration. That means choking.

Draco?

I'm really tired.

Oh bloody -

Never one to let me off easy.

But yes we were looking at houses and we were going together to Strathglass this Saturday, but you got injured at Fradswell.

And also at Fradswell: Dolohov was killed by Rachel, which sent Barty Crouch on a mad murdering spree. Seriously, there are loads dead, including Linus' parents, Remy and Alfie Jugson, Daphne's parents, and far more. Horrific in the most literal way possible.

But Hydra killed Barty, eventually, only now it turns out that sodding Antonin Dolohov isn't really dead.

And yet they still are.

Yeah. There's that rip again.

They also loved you - you know it.

But I'm the only one who gets to say it and write it so I'll do it whenever I get the chance.


It doesn't matter to me if you don't or never-

I mean, if it's because you don't know if you can love me, if it's because you might prefer someone else more, then you know I'll stand aside.

But if it's because you're just you, and that's just how you are and might always be...well, I understand. And I accept it completely.

Oh, for fu-

Tamsin just got shirty with Russell for 'gawping at [his] book like a toad.' I'd best get back to work.

I love you and toast's a distant third or fourth on that list. But I hope you get to eat some soon.
