Letters
"Draco, why do we never have anyone you know over?" Harry sits at the island in their kitchen, while he watches Draco.
Draco blushes and stops. He suddenly becomes serious and moves to the opposite side of island that Harry is on. Without breaking eye contact, he rolls up his left sleeve. He shows his forearm to Harry. It displays the Dark Mark.
"I know it difficult for you to... Make new friends, but what about people from your earlier years at Hogwarts? Are you in contact with any Slytherins?"
"I never made any friends."

Harry reads over what he's written:
Dear Ginny,
I know it's been a while since we spoke, but I regret that. I'm sure you know I'm not in contact with your brother, Ron, but I'm trying to bring down the number of people I don't talk to anymore.
I know what I did hurt you, but I hope you can forgive me. I hate to be the reason we don't speak.
I won't ask you to force your brother to talk to me, but if you could tell him I'm sorry, but I don't regret loving who I love, I would be extremely grateful.
Love,
Harry
Harry changes love to sincerely and folds up the letter. He seals it and ties it to his new owl's leg. He sighs as he watches her fly off. In the distance, she looks just like Hedwig.

Harry wakes up to the smell of bacon and waffles. He follows it to the kitchen. On the table where he normally sits, is a letter addressed to him. He opens it and reads:
Dear Harry,
I also regret not trying to get in contact with you before, for I forgave you many years ago. I admit, Ron had something to do with why I haven't spoken to you for so long. He did not want any if the family to speak to you, but with you reaching out and my distance from my brother, I could not help but answer.
Don't flatter yourself, Potter, I was hurt for about a day and a half. I just got so busy, after school, and when things slowed down I wasn't thinking of friends. I think this is the reason I haven't reached out.
You got lucky with timing, I'm visiting my brother tomorrow. I promise to tell him what you said word for word.
I hope we can see each other some time in the near future. I'm eager to catch up.
Sincerely,
What the hell,
Love,
Ginny
Harry smiles, and gives the letter to Draco. He laughs out loud while reading.
"I like her." He joins Harry at the table as Narcissa walks in.

Harry wakes up two days later to another letter waiting for him at the table. This one is from Ron:
Dear Harry,
I heard that you got in contact with my sister. I must admit, I was angry at first, but your message forced me to think about why I wasn't speaking to you.
I'm sorry I got so angry. I regret the things I said to you. I know it was stupid of me to make you choose between me and the love of your life. I understand completely why you chose the way you did. I ask for your forgiveness. I hope we can see each other again.
We miss you at the Ministry. You would have made a great Minister of Magic.
Sincerely,
Ron
Harry gave the letter to Draco and started on a response immediately.
~~~~~
Three hours later, Harry read over his final draft:
Dear Ron,
It is great to hear from you again. I know my decision offended you, and I'm sorry.
I also said some things I regret. You do not need to ask for forgiveness. Since I no longer work, I have plenty of time to see old friends. I would love to meet up.
I must say the same for you. I was far from the bravest in our days, and I think you would make a better Minister than I ever could.
Sincerely,
Harry
Satisfied, Harry folds up the parchment and sends it off.
