Early the next morning Jordyn awoke with a strange feeling deep inside her
stomach.
"Its just nerves" She thought to herself as she wiped Harry's hair away
from his face. She sat next to him watching him sleep for a while until
thumping footsteps came from both sides of the room. She smiled and yawned
as people poured into the common room and greeted each other for the
morning.
Ron slowly awoke and smiled at her.
"Sleep well?" He added with a yawn.
Jordyn nodded and smiled. "You?"
"Don't ask" He replied. "It's been a long time since I slept sitting up."
"You didn't have to stay in here with us you know. But I appreciate it anyway". Jordyn added as she yawned again.
"Don't worry about it, you'd do it for me". He smiled again and stumbled over to her. He gave her a kiss on the cheek and stated "See you at breakfast".
Jordyn sighed. Ron was a good friend and she knew how he worried about Harry. Come to think of it, she did to. But he was a big boy. He could look after himself.
Harry slowly opened his eyes and smiled at the sight of Jordyn. "How did you sleep?" He asked as he sat up and felt around for his glasses.
"Okay, but more importantly, how do YOU sleep?" She kissed him softly on the lips with a worried expression on her face.
"Like a baby" He replied with a smile. He returned her kiss and stood up. "Breakfast it is then?" He asked cheekily.
At breakfast Jordyn sat quietly waiting for the post. She looked forward to hearing from her dad, but wasn't sure he'd write this early. Surely enough, not long after owls began flying into the great hall, dropping letters and parcels into the laps of their owners. From what she could see, Fred and George had gotten a Howler from their mother. It had something to do with their new "inventions" she guessed. Harmony and Alicia had received letters and Angelina was eating something that resembled cookies while reading a card.
Looking around at owls fleeing the room, Jordyn sighed. She missed her dad and wanted to hear from him. Harry kissed her on the forehead and smiled. He knew what she was thinking, and she knew what he meant by it. "Don't worry about it," She told herself. Shortly after, Alicia laughed and elbowed Jordyn. She followed her gaze to a window on the other side of the great hall. A small owl was trying to make its way inside, but kept missing the windowsill. The small owl eventually made its way onto the hall and over to the Gryffindor table. With a quiet hoot, it landed a bit too close to Jordyn's meal. After a few short breaths it nibbled Jordyn's finger and started eating her toast. "What a cute little owl," she said. "Rude, but cute."
"Are you gonna open it Jordyn?" Asked Ron.
"I suppose" Jordyn replied. She untied the note wrapped around its leg and read it silently to herself.
"Dear Jordyn.
Just wrote to say hello and that I miss you already. I can't wait until the next holidays but until then, have fun with your friends and study hard! Your mother would be proud of you.
Love always, Dad"
She smiled and shoved the letter into her pocket. Harry once again kissed her on the forehead, somehow knowing it was from her father. She sighed and stood from the table, announcing that she was off to class. Others followed and she began to relax. Another term had begun, and she felt relieved to be back.
"Sleep well?" He added with a yawn.
Jordyn nodded and smiled. "You?"
"Don't ask" He replied. "It's been a long time since I slept sitting up."
"You didn't have to stay in here with us you know. But I appreciate it anyway". Jordyn added as she yawned again.
