You are not weak to doubt me, you are strong and intelligent. If we are not able to understand that those around us--friends, acquaintances, lovers, alongside enemies--will sell us out then we have no right to stay on this Earth, breathing as we do. But I'm going to take this opportunity to tell you that whatever you may think of me it is more than likely wrong. Not even more than likely, I can guarantee that anything you thought you knew about my allegiances is no doubt a skewed version ( ... )

Yes, I think I will stop by your flat. I shall be staying in London tonight anyway; I cannot stand to stay in this empty house one day more.
- Pansy
P.S. - Thank you.
Pansy hesitated three times while writing this second letter to Draco. She hesitated to agree to meet with him in privacy, for though his letter had done much to comfort her, it did not fully by her confidence, and she still knew how easily he could set a trap.
Her second hesitance came upon telling him that she planned to stay in London that night, for the same lack of trust. And her third pause, upon telling him her reasons for staying in London. But she had already blubbered like a baby in her first letter, what really was the point in holding back any emotion from the second?
