So.

I know you've got

you know

people. And you talk. And you're friends. And that's okay. It's good. I think it's a good thing that you have things that you... you know, that you keep yours.

I just

Look. Okay. How much does Finch-Fletchley know about me? Because he sort of has to know about why Sinbad was coming. And I guess if I know about him and Sinbad it's okay he knows something about me, but it's not like I decided to tell him or anything and I guess I sort of want to know how much your friends he knows and I don't want you to think you can't talk about things or anything but

yeah.

Pans says he's worth knowing. And I guess we've got some things in common I didn't know before. So there's that.

We did talk. And I'm

I know how much he risks every time we see each other. I think it's hard sometimes, just because he has all these ideas of how things ought to be, and I feel sometimes like I'm disappointing him because I don't

I don't know.

I wish we could've been normal. Like what Finch-Fletchley had. Eating dinner together. Talking about books we've read. Talking about random stuff that isn't important at all.

It would've been nice to know him without all the danger and the truths and the prophecy. That's all. Because really? It's been some letters and a few hours. So yeah. Maybe a little.

I guess I'd rather have what I have than nothing at all.

Oh, Harry, you don't understand, if he's disappointed it's not in you, it's because he wants the same thing and he knows there's no time to make that happen. It's probably always going to be a little bittersweet. But if you want to talk to him about books and dinner and random things he'd be happy to hear about it.

[alt_harry]

I guess I could write about random things.

Just to, you know, write. Not because I need something.

[alt_hermione]

Draco still writes to his parents once a week, even when there's not much to tell them. You could do that if you wanted to do.

[alt_harry]

I could. Yeah.
