Harry Potter and The Angel

Chapter One

Cancellations

            Harry awoke early Saturday morning from a light tapping outside his window. 'It must be at least 5:30' he thought to himself as he reached for his glasses. He put them on slowly and looked out his window to see Ron's owl, Pig, tapping wildly on the window.

            Harry rose from his bed and opened the window letting an excited Pig in. He removed a small piece of parchment from his leg. It read:

Harry-

            I have some bad news. Bill got in an accident while feeding some of the dragons he worked with. Don't know much about it other than he's paralyzed. I have to go there with my family to see him so I guess you can't come over before school.

            Sorry- Have anyone else in mind? Maybe Hermione—remember…?

-Ron

P.S. See you at school.

Harry slowly reread the letter- now fully awake. He couldn't bear living with Dudley for another week after his constant taunting of the old phrase 'Harry and Hermione sitting in a tree…'. Harry remembered what started it all and obviously so did Dudley and Ron. They had gotten off the train at platform nine and three quarters. After finishing their long good byes, Hermione walked up to Harry and planted a gentle kiss on his cheek. As Harry thought about it, he lightly rubbed where she had kissed him. He assumed it was just a casual kiss between friends, but he didn't notice that she had not kissed Ron until now.

Deep inside, though, he had secretly developed a small crush on her, but he kept it to himself. If he told Hermione how he felt and it was just a friendly kiss it would probably ruin their friendship. And if something did happen Ron would be the one left out of it all.

He thought about it some more, 'Why not? It wouldn't hurt to ask if I could stay over considering the circumstances' He took out a small piece parchment and scribbled a quick note to Ron saying he'll ask Hermione and that he hopes Bill gets better. He signed his name and attached it to Pig's leg who flew off. He grabbed another piece of parchment and wrote:

Hermione-

            Did you hear what happened to Bill? Well, this means I can't stay over at Ron's. I was wondering if maybe I could spend the last week of the summer vacation at your house? I can't bear Dudley's taunting any more.

Thanks

-Harry   

He sealed the letter and gave it to Hedwig who seemed to be waiting quite impatiently for him to finish. She soared into the sky as Harry returned to his bed wondering what Hermione would say.
