Sever All Ties with Me

Summary:

Draco Malfoy sends Hermione his final letter.

Hi!

So here's a sad letter fic because I'm a moody person lol

All kidding aside, I don't write about sad things that much... so I'll really appreciate constructive criticism on my work.

This fic is pretty much open to interpretation, so there's no wrong way to approach reading this letter so yay

Enjoy reading :D

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Work Text:

To my love, Hermione Jean Granger,

  

Please forgive me, do not expect me to arrive home tonight.

 

I have realised that even though I will forever love you to the moon and back, I cannot be your everything. I cannot provide you with the happiness we both wish for.

 

Know that you are the final piece to my puzzle, and it is you whom I shall cherish always, even when the rest of me falls apart.

 

Please do not go looking for my light at night; I am a broken lamp.

 

I cannot give you smiles, even when you have constantly provided yours for both of us.

 

I want to kiss you, and hold you tight; I want to keep you within my arms.

 

But even then you are unsafe.

 

Please move on from me, and do not hold back.

 

Even when you do not want to let go.

 

I cannot be the shoulder for you to cry on, or the one who listens to your stories.

 

I want to promise you the world, but even the world is not on our side this time.

 

Don't let my leaving scar you. Please let it heal you instead, for I have broken you so many times.

 

My request is for you to take a worthy man's hand in marriage: one who will be there to witness and love your bright personality, charming intellect, and radiant beauty.

 

Take someone who isn't cowardly like I am; I'm weak, I'm afraid, and I run away from my problems as a solution.

 

Hermione, you are my dearest, and though I will never bring myself to forget you, please forget me. Sever all ties with me.

 

I wish you the best in life, even though you are my best moment, whom I shall never be able to grasp anymore.

 

I love you, and au revoir.

 

Sincerely Yours,

Draco Malfoy

Notes:

Hi again!

Thanks so much for taking the time to read this. I know this is soooo short (then again, so are all my other fanfics), but I'll try to write longer ones :)

I'll really appreciate constructive criticism on my work. Also, if there are ships/prompts you'd like me to write about, please tell me~

Thanks again for reading !!
