Myles opened the window and Hedwig stepped onto his arm looking at him expectantly. He quickly took the letter she was holding and gave her a piece of bacon in exchange. After she'd taken the bacon Hedwig flew over to her perch and promptly fell asleep; that could only mean Harry had told her it would probably be morning before she could return. Hedwig had been Harry's ninth birthday present from Myles's parents who had wanted to make sure Harry had a way to keeep in touch. Almost instantly they'd become ideal companions and Harry was hardly ever seen without Hedwig either perched on his shoulder or flying overhead. Looking back he blinked and started reading what his little boy had written:
Uncle Myles,
First I wanted to let you and Aunt Nydia know that I got sorted into Flamel House. No you didn't read that wrong there is now such a house as Flamel House. I'm not exactly sure what our mascot is, or if we even have one, but Flamel House was created to promote house unity. Tonight after the feast we were waiting for Uncle Blackbeak, Uncle Padfoot, and Uncle Moony (the Heads of House for Flamel) to get done talking with the Headmaster when Aberforth Dumbledore came bursting in. He tortured Uncle Blackbeak using crucio and was banished from the grounds by the portrait of the Founders. The Headmaster suggested we go to his and Professor McGonagall's quarters to talk about things in private since Uncle Blackbeak was exhausted. I told them about not knowing Petunia and Vernon and that even though my Aunt and Uncle I was raised by trusted them it was better if they didn't know who you guys are. Then I told them all the things Mum and Dad wanted them to know. There were a lot of tears but ultimately I think everyone can start to heal easier now. When I went back to Flamel House's common room we all started talking about the threat Aberforth possesses. The Founders portrait is going to mostly be in our common room and they popped in during the middle of our conversation and offered help. Rowena gave everyone jobs to do to get information about the Ministry, Aberforth, and old Wizengamot files. Oh and we're starting a newspaper that tells about all the houses to help us get friends and allies in the different houses. Anyways she told me I need to talk to you about what to do next. She said that I could take heir status since I was adopted by you guys, but it would also put you guys at risk. I don't know what to do; I love you guys, but I don't want to lose anyone else I care about either. What should I do? Oh and before I forget she asked me to see if you can get the written documents about the Death Eaters' Tribunal and a case involving the Headmaster and his sister. I love you Uncle Myles. Be safe.
Love,
Harry
"Nydia, can you get Mom and Dad? We need to talk; Harry needs us." Myles called and shook his head in slight amuesment as his wife jumped up and hurried out of their quarters. Harry needing them was all he ever had to say; even if they were just his Aunt and Uncle by adoption he would always be their little guy.
