Chapter Text
Dear Granger,
I hope this package finds you well.
Your presence today at my trial was a welcomed surprise, I thank you for your candour on the stand. Until today, I was resigned to spend the rest of my days in Azkaban. I suppose I have you and Potter to thank for my freedom, I hope you’ll pass on my gratitude to him.
This package would have been sent to you regardless of the outcome of today, but I am eternally grateful to possess the freedom to write you personally, instead of having my mother send it in my stead.
I know too well the torment Dark scars can leave in their wake, Granger. I’m forever haunted by my inaction on the day you received yours. You don’t deserve to live in pain, so I procured a remedy I wanted to share with you. Apply this paste generously to your forearm, wait four minutes and then drink the potion. If you’re hesitant about the contents of either one, I’m be happy to provide the ingredients list at your request.
To quote a brave witch I know, ‘the fight took everything from us, but only with an open mind and a forgiving heart, can we truly reclaim that which was stolen from us’.
The path to forgiveness, at least for me, will surely be a long one. But I look forward to a day where I might earn yours, Granger.
D.M.
P.S. The other item included in this package was found after the Manor was cleaned. I'm sorry it took so long to find its way back to you.
