Harry had stayed in his room the rest of the day, deciding whether or not
to write to Dumbledor. When he was unpacking he found a small bag with what
seemed to be Serenity's things. In it sat a necklace. On a silver chain,
hung a charm. A lion with a serpent wrapping around it within a silver
crescent moon, and on the back was a small 'H' that looked just like the
seals on his letters from Hogwarts. He finally made up his mind and pulled
out a clean piece of parchment.
Dear Remus,
I got your last letter. Too bad there is no new news yet. The Daily Prophet just keeps repeating the same things over and over again, just changing the wording. I have some news though. Vernon's sister is staying here for the rest of the summer. Don't worry I am keeping my distance. But that isn't the weird thing. She has a girl named Serenity with her. Treats the poor girl like a slave. She also has this necklace. It has a Griffin with a Serpent climbing up it inside a crescent. On the back is the Hogwarts seal. Amanda, Vernon's sister, says she heals really fast. I think she might be a witch.
Harry.
He reread the letter and sent it off with Hedwig, who nipped his ear softly before leaving. He sighed and stuck the necklace in his pocket, putting it back in the small bag where he found it on his way downstairs for dinner. Much to Petunia's surprise, Harry silently set the table, and got everyone drinks. While doing so he heard Uncle Vernon snort as Amanda commented on what a 'nice boy' Harry was. Dinner passed quickly and he was only spoken to once.
"So, Harry, are you and your cousin close friends?" Amanda questioned. Harry almost burst out laughing at the thought of he and Dudley being friends, but held the laughter back.
"We get along, but we are so different that we can't really be called close friends. We don't have much in common." He answered politely, earning a shocked look from Uncle Vernon, Aunt Petunia, and Dudley (Who actually stopped eating for a few minutes in surprise.)
"May I be excused, Uncle? Or would you like me to help with dishes?" Harry asked. He loved the look on Vernon's face. It was priceless. He looked as if Harry asked a trick question, and he wasn't sure how to answer.
"Just. . .err. . .put your plate in the sink." He said. Harry did so and left to go upstairs. On his way he heard a soft cry from the closet under the stairs, that he once called his room. Peering in he saw a beaten and bloody Serenity, though and instant later all her wounds vanished, leaving only dried blood upon her skin. Harry stared for a moment then ran upstairs. He had to tell Remus! He shut his door, and smiled as Hedwig landed on his shoulder. Taking his letter from Remus, he pet Hedwig softly and sat on his bed to read.
Harry,
That necklace is quite odd. If she is magical, no one has heard of her. There is no Serenity registered as a witch. Dumbledore, however, that the necklace sounded familiar. He says he saw a student with one like it a long time ago. But just because she heals fast doesn't mean she is magical. I feel sorry for the poor girl though. Dumbledore also said that we might be able to pick you up a week or two early, but don't get your hopes up. We have been pretty busy lately.
Remus.
Harry yawned and laid back. 'I'll write back in the morning.' he told himself before falling asleep. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Good? Icky? Review and tell me! Also. Should Serenity be paired with Harry, Draco, or Snape? Snape says - Vote for me. ::glare::
