It was the middle of the summer holidays and Harry lay asleep on his bed in his dark, cloths scattered room. There was three weeks left till the end on the holidays and nobody had owled him or anything . Dudley and his uncle and aunt had gone away leaving Harry on his own, which for any other kid would mean sleepovers and parties, but not for Harry he couldn't not even if he wanted to (which he did) nobody would come not even his two best friends Ron and Hermione, neither of them had replied to any of his letters.

Little did he now that Ron was on holiday visiting his brother Charlie and not due back for another week.

Hermione on the other hand had just got back that night from her holiday for the second time in France, she couldn't wait to see Harry and Ron.

Harry shifted a little and rolled over onto his front and plunged his head into his pillow. Just as he did so there was a tapping at the widow, it was an owl, not one that Harry knew but it had a letter which was addressed to Harry. Harry got up from his bed and opened the window, the owl was a beautiful midnight black and glided very elegantly into the room, Harry took the letter from the owl and opened it, he read it to himself,

Dear Harry,

Hi harry sorry for not writing just got back from France and found all your letters. By the way this is my cousins owl jewel, isn't she gorgeous. Any way I was wandering if you wanted to come to mine for the remanding of the holidays, Ron's on holiday and won't be back for another week and then he's coming around mine. My cousin crystal wants to meet you along with some of my friends.

p.s I'll come and get you, then I can see your house. And you can see mine.

pp.s don't forget your school stuff

Reply soon pleas

See you soon, lots of love

Hermione.

Harry kept his eyes on the word love, it was strange, when he finished reading the letter he felt butterflies in his stomach thinking about seeing hermione and if she had change, it twinged in his stomach. He quickly scribbled a yes on a new piece of parchment and sent it back with jewel.

Hermione jumped as jewel flew into the room and landed on the headboard of her bed.

"she's back read it" crystal said as hermione got up from the floor wear they wear sitting playing cards in the rising light,

"ok" hermione had butterflies why am I so worried it's only harry. she thought to herself. She took the letter from the owl that then flew down and landed on crystal's shoulder.

"what does it say?" crystal asked as she put her owl in her cage,

"yes" she stood and stared at harry's small scribbled yes on the piece of parchment, her heart lifted, he's coming She thought

"what else?" her cousin asked

"just yes, that's all" and she showed crystal, as she walked over and took it from her hand.

"ah but he kept the other letter" and she smiled.

" that doesn't mean anything, does it?" hermione replied as she pulled back the piece of parchment and wrote 10:30 on it and ……

Harry was packing when jewel flew back in threw the window he had left open to let the morning light in.

"hello again" and this time he walked up to the owl and stroked it, taking the parchment

10:30

I'll come and get you then, and thanks harry.

Love

Hermione.

"she never puts love at the end of short notes like this, what do you think?" he asked the two owls now sitting on his desk, he then shrugged "nice to see you hegdwig" and he stroked her to, then gave both the owls owl treat. He wrote one last thing on the bottom of the parchment,

Look after hegdwig, thanks.

And he continued packing as the two owls left
