Many thanks to the best BETA reader ever, hermionewithdarkhair. I don't know what I would have done without you!


December 25, 1997

Dear Everyone,

I have lost the one thing that made my life meaningful this year. I have lost my one true love, and I fear I cannot live without him. I once told Draco that I would die without him, and I have now proven that statement to be true. This leads me to why I am writing this letter to you. My body shall forever lie at the bottom of the lake; wearing the green dress that Hermione gave me for Christmas, in honour of my true love. I would like Draco's body to lie in the lake as well. I want to spend eternity with him, and this is the only way I feel it is possible.

I would like to leave each of my loved ones with a message from my heart.

Hermione, you have been the greatest best friend a girl could ever have. Growing up with six brothers hasn't been easy, but knowing that I always had you to turn to made life much easier. You helped me as I kept my relationship with Draco a secret, and I knew I'd never be able to repay you. I'm sorry that you'll never get to be my maid of honour, and that I'll never get to be in your wedding, but I can assure you that I will look down on you from heaven when you walk down the aisle with your father and marry Harry. I hope you understand that I've done this for the best reason. Hermione, I want you to take risks; don't always play by the rules; do something exciting for me. Thank you for everything. I love you.

Harry, you will never know how much you have changed my life. You were always there to help me, even if I was too embarrassed to be in the same room as you, let alone talk to you. You became part of the family, and I hope you stay part of the Weasley family long after I am gone. I have always loved you, Harry, even if I was too afraid to admit it, and I hope you can forgive me for leaving you now. One thing that I want you to know is that I don't blame you for Draco's death, nor do I blame you for mine. Please don't blame yourself. One thing that would make me happy to see is you and Hermione getting married. I will watch down on you from heaven as you move forward in your life together. I hope you can help my entire family get through this tough time. You know how it feels to lose someone you love, and I'm sure that you understand why I feel I need to leave. Thank you for everything you've done for me, Harry.

Ron, I have a feeling this will be harder on you than it will be for Harry and Hermione. I know you've always done everything you could to make sure I never got hurt, but you couldn't save me this time. Mum told me after my first year that we can't help who we fall in love with, it just happens. Ron, Luna is a great person, and she deserves a great man to go through life with her. I would love to see you and Luna together. That is the one thing I ask from you. Ron, please don't blame this whole ordeal on Draco or Harry. It was not their fault. I made my choice, and no one could have changed my mind. You have been a great brother, and I will always love you.

Mum and Dad, I know this news is hardest for you. You are my parents, you gave me life, but I took my own life away. Mum, you told me that Harry would make a great addition to the family. He always will be part of the family, even without me as his wife. I love Draco, and I know that's hard for you both to understand, but things change between people. Draco was not, nor will he ever be, like his father. I love you both dearly.

Fred and George, you have taught me more than you'll ever know. Most people just see you as slackers and pranksters, but you're more than that. You are great brothers who have taught me about life, real life. In school, I was always told of intelligence and brainpower, but there are more important things. Things like family and friendship are much more important.

Percy, you have been an evil git, and I'm quite sure that you are aware of that, but even after all the rows that you, Mum, and Dad have had, I want you to come back to the family. Mum and Dad are going to need you. You always warned me against falling in love with Harry for fear of me taking his side, so I'm sure you're happy to hear that I'm in love with someone else. Of course, hearing that I love Draco Malfoy isn't much better, I'm sure. But even after how much I have hated you, I want you to help everyone through this hard time because you and I both know that you were the sanest person in our family.

Bill and Charlie, you guys let me get away with anything. I'm sorry for all of the bad things I ever did to you, including the times that I walked in on you and your girlfriends, then told Mum about it. I will miss you a lot. I love you.

Tonks, you were an inspiration to me. I felt like I could connect with you. Please help Hermione through this; I know she'll be able to connect with you like I have.

Luna, you are quite a character. You and I both know that Ron is a moron, and even though I have told him to ask you out, he won't. All I ask is that you take care of him. He deserves someone with a great heart and a different outlook on life, like you.

You all have kept me alive for my entire life, but now I need Draco, and Draco's love. I need to be with him more than you'll understand. But I promise we will see each other again.

All of My Love,

Ginevra Molly Weasley


Author notes: Did you cry? Are you all going to hunt me down and kill me for killing off two people in one story?

I'm sorry that this is the end and that it's this sad, but I couldn't help it. There was no avoiding it. Please Review! I would like to know how you felt about it! You guys have been great!
