A/N: I'm writing a short fic with multiple chapters, so that means each chapter will be a bit short. Enjoy!

DISCLAIMER: I own nothing here. Harry Potter belongs to J.K. Rowling.

"The finest flowers in all of Britain," Harry read off the pamphlet he was holding. It had come from Hogsmede earlier that day, and he was eager to read about its flower shops.

"Oh, here we go," he said happily, his eyes landing on a shop called Madam Brown's Flowers. The shop specialized in roses, which were Ginny's favorite.

Harry picked up his quill and looked at the order form. The flowers were sold in singles or by the half or whole dozen. He checked off the box next to 'eleven' and had them sent to Ginny's dormitory. Then he checked the box next to 'one' and had it sent to himself.

"There we go; all set," Harry said, sealing the form and walking out to the common room.

Ron and Hermione were in the common room playing Exploding Snap. Hermione wasn't doing so well, for her hair was singed and there was smoke in the air. Harry sat down next to her and watched Ron add another card to his immense tower.

"Hey Harry. How are you doing?" asked Hermione, eyeing her own tower warily.

"Not to bad, thanks," Harry replied, "How about you?"

"Fine, despite the fact that I'm about to set the entire castle on fire," answered his friend, "I give up Ron. You win."

"If you say so," said Ron, although he was smiling, "Care for a game Harry?"

"Oh, no thanks. I've got to get to the Owlery and give this to Hedwig." Said Harry, standing up. And before Ron or Hermione could ask him just what he was mailing, Harry was out the portrait hole and hurrying to his snowy white owl Hedwig at the top of the castle.

When he arrived, Harry found Hedwig high up in the rafters, resting with one wing over her pretty blue eyes. When she heard Harry call her, however, she immediately awoke and swooped down from her perch, eager for a new mission. She settled herself on Harry's arm and stuck out her leg.

Harry smiled fondly at her as he tied the order form to Hedwig's thin leg. "Take this to Madam Brown's Flower Shop in Hogsmede, okay?" he said, "and thanks girl."

Hedwig nipped at his hand affectionately before taking flight, swooping off into the setting sun.
