Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter. :)
Harry Potter sat alone on his tiny bed, waiting for Hedwig to return. He had sent her to give Ron a letter the day before, but she still hadn't returned. If she didn't come back by tomorrow, Harry decided he would have to go out and look for her. Harry scanned the rainy sky one last time before going to bed. Nothing. Harry sighed as he got up to close the window, and just as he was reaching for the pane, he saw a speck getting larger and larger, illuminated by the moonlight. As the figure got closer, Harry saw that it was an owl; a white-feathered owl named Hedwig. Hedwig flew in and landed on Harry's bed, one foot in the air, waiting for Harry to untie the letter from her leg. He did, and Hedwig flew to her cage, where she began to eat her food quietly. Harry opened the letter, and started to read Ron's messy scrawl;
Hi Harry. Got you letter, thanks. Must suck to live with the Dursley's. I pity you. I'll see you soon…only two more weeks until Hogwart's finally starts. It's only been a few days since we've last seen eachother, when we were shopping for school supplies, but I have major news for you. Don't even bother asking if it's good news, because both are bad. The first one is that after you left the Leaky Cauldron, Hermione met Crabbe, and apparently, he's changed. Hermione is…going out with him
Harry took a deep breath. He couldn't believe it. Hermione and Crabbe? Vincent Crabbe?? Malfoy's cronie, Vincent Crabbe?! The no-good scum on a stick Vincent Crabbe??! Harry almost threw up, but continued reading the letter…
You need to knock some sense into that girl. I mean, aren't I better? Just kidding, I have passed the Hermione phase long, long ago. Now, for the even worse news…oh, Harry you are going to hate it. I can barely bring myself to write it…Luna Lovegood, your girlfriend…she…er…died. Sorry Harry! Her dad wanted me to tell you…she drowned in the lake behind her house.Sorry, man. I know it must suck.Well, see you soon.
-Ron
Harry sat there, unable to believe the letter. It's a prank. It must have been a prank… Harry thought. But still…Ron wouldn't do that to him, Ron knew how precious Luna was to him. Suddenly, Harry heard a light tapping from the window, and saw Hermione's owl staring at him. Harry opened the window and took the letter.
Hey Harry. Guess what? I'm going out with Crabbe. He's lost some weight and is looking A LOT better.Oh, and sorry about Luna. I know you love her.
Cheers,
Hermione
Well, that was his proof. As Harry sat there, tears rolling down his face, watching the rivulets on the window pane, he realized, Luna was gone…forever.
