Disclaimer- The whole idea of Harry Potter belongs to J.K. Rowling. I just added a character and a plot.



*Chapter 1- A Letter From Harry

The girl was getting ready for bed in her Ravenclaw dorm, trying to be quiet as not to wake the other seventh-year girls. She was opening the curtains of her four-poster when she heard a soft tap at the window. Her heart gave a leap- it was Hedwig with a letter from Harry! Harry Potter, the only living person able to resist Lord Voldemort's strongest curses, had been away for almost a month. Voldemort was in a forest not far away from Hogwarts. The Ministry of Magic had sent Harry and a few other Ministry wizards into the forest. They had sealed the perimeter of the forest off, so that Voldemort, Harry, and the other wizards were the only ones inside. It was their job to finish off the Dark Lord. Harry rarely ever wrote to her, he was too busy, he barely had time.

She let Hedwig in and opened the letter. It read:

Dearest,

Voldemort is coming closer to me. My scar tells me so. It should not be long before we can kill him and I'll return to Hogwarts. I promise. Be extra careful. Don't walk alone in the corridors. I've found out that the Death Eaters are after those who are close to me. Please don't worry- Dumbledore knows about this. Just be careful. I miss you terribly but I'll be back soon.

Love,

Harry

The girl read the letter over again, then folded it and put it under her pillow. She absentmindedly stroked Hedwig, who would stay for the night and then return to Harry in the morning. "the Death Eaters are after those who are close to me." This was all too much to think about. The girl pulled back the covers and fell into a fitful sleep.
