Redemption

Redemption

I saw you last night, at the club. I know you saw me too. I can't believe it's been so long. How are you? I was fine. I almost managed to forget about you, then my darling friend Ally convinced me to go to the club last night. I'm kind of glad she made me.

I know you probably hate me right now, and I can't blame you. I was a horrible person back then. And I know I left too much pain and destruction to come back again. And if you live by the rules of it's over then I guess that that makes sense. But I was never one to follow the rules, was I? And neither were you if I recall. I've had a long time to think about what I did to you, seven long years to be exact. And honestly, lately that's all I've been thinking about. I want you back, plain and simple. I know now what I felt for you then was not a fluke. I still feel it now, and I haven't spoken to you since the night before graduation. It wasn't hormones, and it wasn't lust. I think I love you. There I said it.

I know you probably haven't thought about me at all over the years. But hopefully your thinking of me now. I can't live like this anymore, and I need you back. Please say you'll forgive me, I want to try again. I don't think I can live without you anymore. But this is all your choice. If you want me back, I am more then willing, but if not then I'll fade away, never to be heard from again. However hard that may be.

I know this letter may be coming from nowhere. And I really don't think you were waiting for something like this, but I still love you. I know after all these years, I shouldn't still love you or tell you that. But if I didn't say it, well I'd still have felt it. Now where's the sense in that? I promise I'm not trying to make your life harder or return to where we were. I just want one more chance. I didn't realize I still felt this way until I saw you last night. And I saw you standing there, looking at me, and I knew I wanted more from you. And all I can do is try.

No words ran through Harry Potter's mind as he sat in a chair after reading the letter he just received. He sat alone in his kitchen trying to process what he had just read but he didn't seem to be getting anywhere. The whole letter came out of the blue and he didn't know what to make of it. So he sat on the chair, seconds turning to minutes, minutes to hours. He sat until he didn't know how long he had been sitting for. He was so engrossed in his thoughts that he didn't notice the quiet knock on his front door. He didn't notice when someone opened the door and walked very quietly towards the kitchen, until they too were standing there. Harry also didn't notice that this person stood there for a few minutes, just soaking in the sight.

"Please say something." Said the slightly desperate sounding Draco Malfoy after standing and watching Harry reread the letter for the third time since he walked into the kitchen.

And as Harry slowly stood up and turned around, shock and something undescribable written all over his face, there were no words to be said. Draco and Harry could see it in the other's eyes', and both knew exactly what to do.

The End
