I want you to know that I am truly very
sorry for all of the bad things I've done to you, Ron and Hermione over these
last seven years.
I think, secretly, the reason I was so
horrible to all of you was that I was jealous of your friendship. I wanted to
have friends like the three of you, but everyone who was in my life were
horrible people, and I think they were the main reason I turned into a person
that I hated.
And then I became a Death Eater just
because my family was threatened. I didn't want to do the job that He gave me,
but I feared Him beyond anything else. When you discovered that it was I who
had sent that cursed necklace, I panicked and attacked you. And then you
attacked me with this spell. It was almost a relief because I had grown to hate
life. I deserved to be hit with that spell for being such a horrible person.
I'm not asking to be your friend or
anything. All I'm asking is for your forgiveness. You have no idea how much it
will mean to me. I need you to know how sorry I am for all the damage I've
caused over the years, and how much I hate myself for it. Please forgive me,
Harry, for everything.
Sincerely,
Draco Malfoy

Dear Draco,
You don't have to worry about asking for my
forgiveness. I understand you regret the path you took, and are truly sorry for
it.
Don't blame yourself for becoming a Death
Eater. I know you were doing it only to protect your family, and I respect you
for that. And I regret everyday attacking you with that curse, I was afraid
that I had killed you when I did that I still haven't really forgiven myself
for it. I ask for your forgiveness
for me causing you that pain, and I hope you can give it to me.
I can't speak for Ron or Hermione, but I
will say that I forgive you for the things you did to us while in school. We
are all human, and I think you just wanted to be happy and you just couldn't be
without a true friend. I want you to know that I hold no hard feelings toward
you whatsoever after all this time; I think you are a good person, no matter
what others say.
I want to thank you for your letter. It
showed me that anyone can be redeemed, and can learn from their mistakes.
In short, I forgive you for everything, and
I hope you can do the same for me about cursing you in sixth year. If Ron and
Hermione don't agree, don't blame yourself; I think deep down, they will always
know you to sorry for your actions, and they will eventually forgive you. I
hope you are doing well. Take care of yourself.
Sincerely,
Harry Potter
