AN First up, this is my first time attempting to write anything, so any constructive feedback would be more than welcome.

At first I wanted to write a fully original and cannon story but I soon realised that my story ideas were taking me further and further away from a cannon story line. I chose to stick with my story ideas rather than try and come up with something new that was strictly cannon. As a result this story starts of cannon so it fits with the original books but should be considered non-cannon for later chapters.

A quick word about the chapter layouts, this story starts of with very short "present day" chapters followed by longer flashback chapters. When the flashback chapters catch up to the present day, the present day chapters will take over the main story telling and become longer

Harry Potter and the Kidnap Plot

Chapter 1 Confused Torment

Dear Arthur and Molly

Thank you for your invite to spend Christmas day with you and your family at the Burrow, but I am afraid I am going to have to decline. I do not think it will be a good idea for me to join you with things the way they are between me and Ginny and I refuse to spoil this special day for you or your family.

I hope you are all well

Yours Harry

Well that was an unpleasant job done with. Now all he had to do was to get the damn owl to deliver it to the Burrow. If he was being honest with himself the Owl wasn't to blame. He had bought the owl so he would have a way of sending messages to Ginny after she ended the relationship but had never got around to naming the bird. He had spent two weeks using the nameless bird to send messages to Ginny, when Ron had arrived one night with a bottle of Fire whiskey. After a couple of drinks Harry had gotten emotional and had named the owl Ginevra. The Name had stuck and now every time he used the owl he felt like he was torturing himself. He had tried to change the name to no avail. He had also tried to use the owl without using it given name, but it would stubbornly refuse to deliver any messages if he didn't use its name.

Bracing himself he decided to get it over with, writing the letter had been hard enough by itself.

"Here Ginevra I have a letter for you to deliver"

Once the letter was tied to the owl's leg it promptly took off and flew through the window.

It had been nearly two months since he had last seen Ginny, two months since she had ended the relationship and two months since he had been left feeling as if the bottom had fallen out of his world.

Harry simply didn't understand it, he was as confused now as he was two months ago. Sitting down on his sofa Harry found his mind wondering back in another fruitless attempt to work out what had happened, to try and work out what had gone wrong.
