Chapter 2- The Unlikely Coincidence.

Hedwig flapped around his cage furiously.

"Hedwig, calm down. I can't let you out right now" murmured Harry. Hedwig stopped for a moment. It was if Harry had insulted him, Hedwig flapped around even more violently, which caused more ruckuses.

"Boy, shut that bird up before I shove it in the oven" yelled Vernon at the top of his voice. Harry walked over to Hedwig's cage and opened it. Hedwig stood still and stared at Harry with his large, protruding eyes.

"Look, I'm going to let out, but you have to be very quiet, alright?" Harry said taking Hedwig out. Hedwig's long, snow white wings spread out and swooped around the room. Harry sympathized. Harry knew Hedwig was just as fed up as he was, being stuck in this boxy room every day. Harry walked over to his window and looked out. The icy wind brushed against his face. The street was deserted and still. Dim lighting stood in the corners of the street, making each house on Privet Drive glow with an orange aura. Harry wrapped his arms around him and looked up. It was such a clear night. You could see every star twinkling in the black dead sky. The moon shone out of them all.

"I have to get out of here", Harry thought. He carefully stuck his head out of the window and looked up and down the street. No one and nothing could be seen. The street was abandoned and all Harry could hear was the faint whistling of the night.

"Perfect", Harry said to himself. Harry walked to his desk and grabbed his jacket. He swiftly made his way to the window and opened it wide. Harry stood aside letting Hedwig fly past him out into the night. Lastly, Harry checked that the door was securely locked with his chair barricading it. Then Harry carefully climbed out of the window. Prudently resting his leg on the windowsill below him, Harry lowered himself onto the draining pipe. Quickly but silently, Harry climbed down the drain pipe, making sure his feet were in the right position every time he took a step. Finally, Harry fell onto the hard, cold ground with a 'THUMP'. Harry remained still, listening for any unusual movements or sounds. Sure the coast was clear, Harry tiptoed across the front lawn and continued to walk, unaware of where he was heading. He didn't care; he was just relieved to be out in the fresh air. No houses had any of their lights on. Everyone was probably sleeping by now. Harry didn't even realise how late it was. He reached the end of the road and after a few minutes debating on which direction he should turn, Harry turned left and walked on.

BANG!

Harry fell, face down onto the damp, sharp gravel. He hastily searched for his wand and tried to regain his composure.

"Owww, jeez. Can't you see where you're going?" hissed a voice. Harry hurriedly put his wand away and repositioned his glasses that sat crookedly on his nose. Harry looked up and came face to face with an angelic-like, beautiful girl, who stared back at Harry with her crystallised, blue eyes. Harry just stared at her in shock, unable to say anything. Serena's anger disappeared immediately after she realised who it was.

"Oh Harry, sorry, I didn't know it was you2, Serena said with a smile. Harry abruptly got up and offered Serena a hand. "Thanks", Serena said grabbing a hold of Harry is hand. All the boys Serena had held hands with, were always rough and sweaty. Harry's however was surprisingly different. It was warm and soft. His touch was gentle.

"Sorry", Harry replied embarrassed. They both looked at each and started to laugh. "What are you even doing here?" Harry blurted out. "Don't you know it's dangerous for a young, pretty girl to be out here at this time of night", continued Harry.

"This pretty girl can look after herself, thank you very much. Plus, I should be asking you that very same question. Isn't it past your bed time?" Serena said teasingly. Harry frowned at Serena, and then smiled.

"I decided to go for a moonlight walk", answered Harry ruffling his hair. "You?"

"Same. I couldn't sleep" replied Serena lowering her gaze. "Want some company?" Harry thought if it was a good idea to say yes. Last time he was out at night with someone, Dudley to be exact, they both were near to getting their souls sucked out of them.

"Sure, it couldn't hurt", Harry said walking on. Serena threw Harry a furious look.

"Hey, what is that supposed to mean?"Serena retorted, running after him. Harry grinned cheekily and slowed his pace. For a while, Harry and Serena walked alongside each other not saying a word.

"Haven't seen you in a while?" Serena said breaking the silence.

"Been busy", replied Harry avoiding eye contact.

Serena had moved to Privet Drive a year ago, to live a family friend. From what Harry heard from the Dursleys, Serena's family was killed in an accident and Serena had no choice but to move here. Harry had always been too shy to ask Serena herself. When Harry and Serena met, they became friends instantly. Although they knew little about each other, they communicated well. Harry felt at ease with Serena because he knew that she, as well as him, lost their parents. He could relate. The last time Harry could remember being out in Privet Drive was last year, during summer. He had taken Serena to the park for a picnic. They both spent the afternoon by the river; Harry had always run away to when he was a child. That was the last time they were together. As the months passed, they both spent less and less time together. They spent the time indoors instead of outdoors, which resulted in losing all contact with each other. That is until now.

"Do you have a clue where you're going?" Serena asked looking around. The streets were now pitching black and the wind was getting more brutal. The only lighting that even produced a little bit of light was Serena's watch. Harry peered down at Serena's wrist, and then looked back up.

"Maybe you should head back. It's late", Harry said facing Serena. She raised her wrist and shone the light onto Harry's face. Emerald eyes gazed at her.

"What about you?"

"I think I'm going to stay here for a bit longer". Harry hurried away from Serena, and then made his way to the park bench. The green paint appeared to have been picked off. What remained were a few specks of the green paint and different coloured pieces of chewing gum plastered underneath. Harry hesitated for a moment, before perching himself on the far end of the bench. Serena followed, but stood impatiently in front of Harry.

"Yes?"Harry said not looking up.

"I can't go back by myself, can I?" Serena uttered. "Talk about rude!"

Harry looked up and tilted his head to the side, studying Serena.

"What?" Serena said aggravated. Harry continued to look at her and smirked.

"Is the great Miss Tsukino 'afraid' to go back by herself?" Harry said aghast.

"No! It's just that you could at least escort me back, seeing as I offered you my company" Serena replied. Harry sighed, then stood up and looked straight into her sapphire, sparkling eyes. For a moment, Harry was quite taken aback, to see Serena eyeing him up and down.

"What's wrong?" Harry said following her gaze.

"Aren't you cold?" Harry then realised all he was wearing was a thin T-shirt and a pair of torn up jeans. Harry tried to brush away his embarrassment.' How can she even see what I'm wearing, when I can barely make out her face' Harry thought baffled.

"I was fine, until you mentioned anything", Harry said rubbing his left arm.

"Here take this" and Serena handed him her red jumper. Harry cautiously looked at it. "Don't worry, I haven't done anything to it", Serena said shoving it into Harry's hands.

"Shouldn't I be the one giving you something to drape over your shoulders" Harry said jokily.

"Well, unlike some boy I know, I come prepared and actually pay attention to the temperature before stepping outside", Serena giggled. Harry swung the jumper around him, surprised that it covered most of his top body.

"Isn't this jumper a bit big for you?" Harry said holding it closer to him. It smelt sweet and felt silky smooth against his skin.

"It's my mothers. I always wear it and bury myself inside. It's kind of like being in my own rouge tent", Serena laughed. Harry stared at Serena intently. She never brought up her parents. Serena sensed Harry watching her and turned to face him. Harry quickly turned away and tried to appear immensely interested in the bare trees surrounding them, looking everywhere but Serena.

They carried on walking in silence.

"Well, this is me", Serena said carefully opening her gate. Serena slowly pushed the cold metal iron bars forward, trying not to make any noise. Warily stepping inside, Serena closed the gate and looked at Harry.

"Yep, looks like it", Harry replied. An awkward silence followed. "Well, thanks for accompanying me", Harry said motioning to Serena.

"Yes, it was great to see you again. We should do this again", Serena beamed. Harry's stomach flipped, and he didn't have a clue why.

"Are you alright?" Serena said stepping towards him.

"Yeah, I'm fine", Harry replied straightening his posture. "I agree, we should do this again, only this time in daylight", Harry said smiling. Serena began to laugh then almost immediately stopped.

'Not that there will be another time' Serena thought to herself. Quickly, Serena changed her expression and smiled widely at Harry.

"Yeah, soon" and with that, Serena turned on her heels and ran to the front door. She took out her key and with great care slipped it into the keyhole and turned. The door silently opened. Serena vigilantly stepped into the house. A warm, wave of heat washed over her. She turned back and saw Harry still standing at the garden gate.

"See ya", Serena mouthed back. Harry lifted his hand and shook it once at her. Serena closed the door and rested her head against it. "Well, at least I got to see him for the last time, before I leave",

Serena then walked upstairs and closed her bedroom door.

I finally got this chapter done!
