I knew the minute I woke up something was wrong. After standing and getting dressed I knew nothing was wrong with me. I needed to think. It had been a few weeks since the howler and Weasleys public humiliation. He had been shunned by everybody except Seamus and Dean, but they were close to leaving him. They were getting a lot of crap for associating with him. I knew Granger still supported him but he didn't care. Dumbledore had no money to pay them with and without money he wasn't willing to continue.
I was so wrapped up in my thoughts that I had walked to the great hall without awareness. It was a stupid move but I couldn't undo it. I hadn't even waited for Daphne. I sighed and choose my breakfast for the day and began to eat.
It was almost the end of breakfast and Daphne still hadn't appeared. I was getting worried. This wasn't just her sleeping in. She was usually up at the same time as me if not before me. Subtly I scanned the table. When I noticed Pansy I asked if she had seen Daphne. Afer looking around she shook her head and explained that Daphne had risen at 7 and had headed to the library. After thanking her I stood and left.
When I got to the library as silently as possible. Scanning the room I didn't see her anywhere. I was about to leave when a bird started to tap on the window. Nobody made a move to grab the letter so I went over to it. I opened the window and held out my arm. The ow took it and waited patiently as I untied the letter. Before it flew off I gave it some left over bacon. I was about to give the letter to Madam Pince when I noticed it had my name on the front. Who, other than Molly Weasley, would send me a letter? I used a quick detection charm. IT was clear. I opened it. My emotions changed so fast that an outsider would crap themselves. It was four simple words and a picture. ' we've got her potter' it said. Next to it was a photo of a scared and crying Daphne. OK Weasley was a dead man.
