Her boy was excited. They were leaving the sad place. She hated the humans who lived here. Who sometimes kept her locked in her cage. Who made her boy so sad.

Especially the fattest human. There was an air if ignorance and arrogance about that one.

Her boy, Harry said they were going to the burrow. It was Hedwig's second favorite place. There were lots of fat mice in the fields near there. The humans there did not lock her up. There were always lots of treats from them. And the female, who looked after her brood, always made sure to give her nice juicy bits of meat.

Finally! There were lots of people here to take them to the nice humans nest. Suddenly there was more than one of her boy. They may look like him but she knew her Harry!

Good she and Harry were going with the big human named liked Hagrid.

Suddenly there were lots of spells flying. Her boy was trying to keep them safe and then……

She was flying over the lake at Hogwarts. She knew she was dead. That was life. She also knew that someday she would see her boy again. She hoped it would be many, many years from now.

Hedwig lifted her eyes toward the horizon. In the distance she could see a rainbow bridge. She knew she was to fly over that. On the other side she could fly and hunt and be free and wait….wait for her boy.
