Harry Potter/Year 7
Note: I do not own these characters, they are all J.K. Rowlings!
Ch. 1
It was the day of July 31st, when Harry Potter turned 17 years old. He was still living in the Black family house. Harry hadn't visited or been visited by any of his friends all summer. The death of Albus Dumbledore still hurt them. But the night of July 31st things changed.
After Harry had finished up his lunch he heard a knock on the door. He knew it had to be someone he knew who knew how to get to the house. As he opened the door, he saw no one there. Harry looked down and saw a letter. He retrieved the letter and opened it, instantly knowing it was from Ron Weasley.
Hiya Harry,
How's it been? Rough here. Sorry I haven't contacted you any earlier. Things have been busy. After Mum collected herself from last year, we've been doing a lot of work. We recently had to plan a wedding. Bill and Fleur are getting married real soon. I think he sent an invitation yesterday. Well I have to eat, Mum's yelling. Hope to see you over here soon. Happy Birthday!
Ron Weasley
Harry grinned. He pulled out a piece of parchment and quill and wrote:
Hey Ron,
It's been quiet and lonely here. I don't really like it here anymore because it brings memories of Sirius and Dumbledore. I tend to find myself only in here when I'm hungry and sleeping. I can't wait for Bill's wedding. I'm happy for him. I'll be over in a week or two, depends. Well I've ate, so I'm going to wonder outside. See you soon.
Harry Potter
Harry folded the letter, put into an envelope, sealed it and gave it to Hedwig. He watched her fly off through the window. When Hedwig was not insight, Harry got up and headed towards the door. When he opened the door he found an owl with two envelopes. Harry took the envelopes and went back inside. One envelope contained Bill's wedding invitation:
We are inviting you to:
Bill Weasley and Fleur Delacour's Wedding
To be married on Saturday, August 10th
At the Weasley home
Harry smiled and put it aside. He grabbed the second envelope:
Hi Harry,
How are you?
I've been unable to contact you because I was in Australia. Beautiful! My parents thought I needed to go someplace special to clear my mind. I guess it helped. I'm still sad, but I need to know it was the past and I need to live the future.
I'll see you at Bill's wedding, right? Write back!
Hermione Granger
P.S. Oh don't think I forgot! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
Returns his smile. Harry picks up his parchment and quill and writes:
Hey Hermione,
I'm fine. It's quiet and lonely here.
Australia sounds great. Maybe Ron, you, and me can take a trip together outside England next year. Sound like a plan?
I've been trying to live the future and it's hard.
Yes, I will be at Bill's wedding.
