It had been over a week he still had no relief from his nightmares and Hedwig still hadn't returned.
Harry had dark circles under his eyes that seemed to get darker every day. Harry had been wishing for Hedwig
to return hopefully with help that he needed in the response. He took one long glance out of his window
before going downstairs to breakfast. He wasn't really hungry but he knew it wouldn't be much of a breakfast.
The nurse at Dudley's school insisted that he stay on a diet for the summer that the school nurse had put him on
during the year, he was at an unhealthy weight.
Just so Dudley wouldn't feel bad about others eating normally around him...or in Harry's opinion to avoid the biggest temper
tantrum to date the whole family was on this supposed diet.
Harry had heard from the kitchen before he entered Dudley complaining about breakfast. He sighed and went through
the door that would lead to the kitchen. He sat down at the table to a small slice of grapefruit.
Of course as usual his Aunt Petunia, Uncle Vernon and cousin Dudley had not taken any notice of Harry's condition, nor did they seem to care.
Harry finished his slice and took his setting to the sink. He threw out the rind of the grapefruit and washed his plate and spoon.
After that he went back up to his room without a word and looked out the window again.
He saw an owl coming towards the window. Unfortunately it wasn't Hedwig it was a big barn owl.
He opened the window and the owl landed on Harry's bed. Harry untied the letter and the owl took off out the window again. Harry opened the letter
and glanced at it. It was a list of books and supplies he'd need for the upcoming year as well as the usual reminder about the Hogwarts express.
Harry put it under his floorboard and plopped down on his bed. He was looking up at the sealing and he dropped off to sleep.
The dream started out fine. He saw himself, the Weasleys and Hermione they were at the Quidditch tournament.
Except it changed very rapidly to Cedric and himself touching the tri wizard cup together. Harry was once again reliving the events of
that fateful night when Voldermort came to power. This time however, when the forms of all that Voldermort had killed tried to keep him busy
so Harry could get away he didn't make it and was hit with the Curcio curse.
Harry bolted up right on the bed sweating and shaking. It took him a few moments to realize where he was and that he was safe.
He listened as his heart rate went from rapid to normal. He straightened his glasses and looked out the window again.
From where the sun was positioned he could tell that he wasn't sleeping that long. He was inwardly hoping to see his owl but he did not.
He was pulled out of his thoughts by a commotion downstairs.
"Mum it's not fair. I want it. Please mum all the other kids have it." Dudley was complaining.
"Dudleykins I will get it for you for Christmas I promise." His aunt tried to placate him.
"But mum I want, I want, I want it please!!!!" Dudley whined again. By this time Harry had walked to the edge of the staircase
just to watch the scene unfold. His aunt was looking beaten. She paced across the floor several times and then she looked at her son.
Even in his tantrum state his mother could see no wrong in him. She walked over to Harry's Uncle Vernon.
"Vernon aren't you going into London today?" she asked sweetly.
" Yes but Petunia you don't expect me to.." he was cut off by her
" But you don't want your son to be the laughing stock of his class when he goes back do you? DO YOU?" she said looking at him sternly.
"Alright I'll pick up the dratted dream cast when I go." He submitted. Dudley's face lit up with the look that said I know how to get
what I want. Harry just laughed a tiny bit. Dudley saw him and gave him a sneer that wasn't totally unlike Snape.
It made Harry give a slight shudder at the thought that there could be someone that could actually be as bad or worse than the greasy
haired potions master.
Harry returned to his room to hear tapping on the window. He was so happy he thought it was Hedwig, but it was Ron's owl Pig.
He opened the window and pig flew in. The little owl went round and round his head as if on a caffeine high.
Harry grabbed the little owl in his hands.
"Hold still just for a moment please Pig." Harry said as he successfully untied the letter from his leg.
Harry put Pig in Hedwig's cage momentarily so he could read Ron's letter.
Harry,
I was just writing to say hello. It's been a while since I've heard from you or Hermione for that matter.
I wonder where she's off to? I hope she isn't off in Bulgaria with that git Krum. Did she say anything about
it to you when she sent you your birthday present two weeks ago? How are you doing? Dad and Percy are so busy at
the ministry that we hardly see them anymore. I heard dad saying the other night that Fudge is still refusing
to believe that You-Know-Who is back. It's been very quiet so far though. But I'm sure that you know that.
Anyway any word if you can come to us this summer? Let me know. Please owl soon.
Ron
Harry went over to his desk and scribbled quickly to Ron.
Ron,
It was great hearing from you. Things here are very quiet as well. It's getting kind of boring.
I haven't heard from Hermione either since my birthday that is, and no she didn't mention if she was
with Krum or not. Have you tried sending Pig to her? I don't know about this summer. As we both know
Sirius and Professor Dumbledore said for me to stay put here. I hope I get word soon that says I can come to you.
I'll let you know. I know it's been quiet since my scar hasn't hurt at all since the end of school.
Harry
He looked it over. He was wondering for a moment weather to tell Ron about the dreams, after a moment of thought
he decided against it. If the dreams didn't stop by school time he would tell Ron and Hermione together.
He rolled it up and took Pig back out of the cage. He had to hold Pig with his legs in order to tie on the letter.
As soon as his legs loosened Pig flew twice over his head and out the window. With that done he had nothing to do
but either stay in his room reading his Quidditch Through the Ages book that Ron had given him or go downstairs.
Neither at the moment seemed appealing. He loved Quidditch dearly but he couldn't bring himself to enjoy it at
the moment since his thoughts went to Cedric when he thought about it.
He once again decided to lie back on his bed and look at the sealing. He was just overwhelmed about
all that had happened. He tried not to think about that and concentrate on something else.
His mind floated back to Ron's letter. He knew that Ron was jealous of Vicktor Krum though he wasn't
one hundred percent sure why. He had a good idea that Ron was starting to feel the way about Hermione as he did about Cho.
At the though of Cho Chang the beautiful girl a year ahead of him in Ravensclaw who was the seeker for her team as
Harry was for the Gryfindors. The thought of her was pleasant for only a moment then it all rushed back to him.
The way Cedric had taken Cho only months before to the Yule Ball. Then how Cedric had also played Quidditch with his house team.
Finally it lead him to the night when he and Cedric grabbed for the tri wizard cup together. He saw everything again as it happened.
Then he heard Cedric's voice again it's all your fault Harry...You killed me....it's all your fault.
Harry bolted up into a sitting position. He was shaking and he was in a cold sweat. He hadn't even realized he
had fallen asleep during his daydreaming.
