Hi! As you can probably make out, this is an AU! And I'm pretty sure what I'm mentioning the Carrows doing, is a little more, violent then in Canon. Then again, I could be wrong.
Disclaimer: I DO NOT OWN HARRY POTTER!
Parvati sighed as she looked out the window in her dorm. It was evening, and yet again, the female Carrow was torturing some poor first year, for looking at her the wrong way, (most likely).
Parvati was really regretting begging her parents not to take her out of school. If she had known about the Carrows, she would not have minded leaving! But then, Parvati suspected she still would have wanted to stay, because of the reason she had wanted to stay for: Harry. She had wanted to stay for the boy she loved. Even if he wasn't at Hogwarts, Parvati, along with the rest of the DA who were still there, felt as though they were supporting Harry.
Then a tap at the window brought Parvati out of her musing. She turned around, to see a dark brown Owl wanting to be let in. Hoping that it might be a letter from someone on the run, like Harry, Parvati quickly let the Owl in. It took Parvati quick a while to catch said Owl, but she managed it, and when she got the letter, she saw the letter was addressed to her. Parvati gasped as she opened it, it was from Harry! It read:
'Parvati.
How is it there? Are the Carrow's as bad as we (in we, I mean Hermione and I) keep hearing? Are you alright? All these questions are going through my mind, and I guess I will get the answers when this is all over. How is everyone? Is it true what we have heard, and Ginny, Neville and Luna tried to steal the sword of Gryffindor from Snape?
We are okay, though Ron walked out on Hermione and I after hearing about the thing with Neville, Ginny and Luna. If I didn't think Hermione loved Ron before, I defiantly think so now! She has been crying none stop all day and night since he left, though the crying has been a bit less today.
Sorry, I shouldn't rant, it's just I am a little frustrated with being stuck in the one spot, for god only knows how long, and not being able to do a thing! You see, we are looking for ways to destroy You-Know-Who, (I am not afraid of saying his name, it's just Hermione insists it's tabooed even for writing, which I think is silly, but whatever.) This is why we left without telling anyone, sorry. And Parvati, I just want to make sure you know, that I love you with all my heart. So, please stay safe, I don't think I could bare hearing that you had been killed, or something.
As much as I'd like it, (And you probably want to, too,) please don't write back. I don't want the Owl getting intercepted, and with all the charms around our camp, I'm not 100% sure the Owl would be able to find us. I will see you when this is all over, just stay safe, Ok? And I'll try to stay safe, too.
HJP (I.E. Harry).'
Parvati sighed in relief after reading the letter, she was so glad he was safe! Parvati stood there for a while, holding the letter against her chest, imagining that Harry was there, with her. Then Parvati shook her head, and said to herself, "Better stop dreaming, and get moving to dinner."
(Easter)
On Easter Monday, Parvati yet again had taken shelter in her Dorm from the Carrows, and some of the Death Eater children. It was dangerous to even leave the tower these days! But then, Parvati heard an Owl tapping at the window. When the Owl had been let in, she saw she had received another letter! Parvati eagerly took it from the Owl and opened the letter. The Owl stayed around, which meant Parvati assumed the sender was wanting a reply. This letter said:
'Parvati.
Please don't kill me! I said his name, and Hermione, Ron (Yes, after cooling off, he came back), and I got captured by Death Eaters!'
After reading that much, Parvati gasped, and sat down on her bed, due to suddenly feeling weak. She read on:
'We were taken to Malfoy Manor, were we discovered that Ollivander, Luna, a Goblin and Dean were also captured. But, cutting a long story short, they found the Sword of Gryffindor when looking through Hermione's bag! (I found it in a pond) and Bellatrix went on to torture Hermione to try and find out where it came from. Eventually, we were freed by Dobby, but sadly, he got killed. Poor little Elf. We are at Shell Cottage at the moment if you want to write back. I asked the Owl to stay just in case!
HJP.'
Parvati sighed in relief to hear that Harry was alright. She did feel a little sad, upon reading that Dobby had died. He was a good Elf, and Parvati knew that Harry would be very sad, as the Elf had always been good to Harry.
Parvati quickly went over to her bag, and pulled out some paper and her quill, there was no way she was not going to write back to Harry!
After much considering, Parvati eventually decided to write:
'HJP,
I'm glad to hear you're Ok! I have been so worried about you! is Hermione alright? I heard that Bellatrix being your torturer was not something to be desired. And I'm sorry to hear about Dobby, from that one time I met him, he seemed like a good Elf. Maybe he was an odd Elf, for House Elf standards, but he was a good one all the same.
What you heard about Luna, Neville and Ginny, is true. Apparently, Snape put had to put his foot down and say no the Currows, (which has caused a lot of friction between him and them), as they wanted to tortured Neville, Ginny and Luna, as punishment, for that little episode. They were taken into the Forbidden Forest by Hagrid, instead of being tortured. But the Carrows are horrible! they look for any excuse for torturing you. A poor Hufflepuff was hit with the Torture curse (the actual name has slipped my mind), just for breathing too loud! That's just Barbaric! Honestly!
It's a bit odd to hear Ron walked out on you, he did seem very much your loyal friend, but maybe it was a bit of a heat of the moment thing, because after all, he did come back.
Make sure you don't get yourself killed Ok? Or I will be very unhappy with you. oh, and, I will love your forever, so please come back safe? Please?
Parvati.'
Parvati smiled as she sealed the letter, she was finally getting to write back to Harry! when Parvati had given the letter to the Owl, she watched it go, until it disappeared. Parvati smiled, she felt alive again. With all that had been happening, she had really lost her will to live, but after hearing from Harry, everything seemed fine again.
For those wondering about Parvati asking about Hermione, well they have shared a Dorm for six years! There would have to be some kind of friendship there. Especially since Parvati is Harry's girlfriend, and Hermione is one of Harry's best friends.
