Order Only: Private message to Draco Malfoy and Hermione Granger

I'm so very sorry for everything that's happened. And everything that you both underwent.

Thank you for holding out like you did.

I just wa

The last thing I want to do is to say anything to that hurts either of you. I don't reckon you need advice or platitudes or anything from me or anyone else.

So all I'll say is what I learned myself when...when the torturer gained the upper hand and then I lost Hogwarts and (I thought) everyone who ever cared for me. It's this: it's possible to come out on the other side. Even when I couldn't see my way or believe that anything could ever get better again, at least at first.

I didn't talk to anyone for a month after Carrow dragged me away. But eventually I remembered I still had friends out there, and they still cared about me. I didn't talk to them, but I just read what they wrote in their journals to me. Eventually, it started to seem like things might be possible again.

It sounds stupid, but in the end, I did it by just going on.

That's all.

Please don't think I'm expecting any response. You don't have to do anything you don't want to do.
