Yaxley,

I know that now, I think. But my mind was as weak as my body under the effects of every spell and potion I was taking. I could not help but the think the worst of myself, and by extension assume that everyone would as well. I am not proud of it, but I am willing to admit it.

I will not leave again, if you can bring yourself to believe me. I do understand if your feelings you wish to distance yourself from me. Just know that my feelings are unchanged.

Yours,
Malfoy
