I don't own any of the characters in this story, except for those that I
made up. If you aren't sure which are mine and which aren't, then read the
HP books, duh. Anyways, on with the show.
Harry was sitting on his bed looking at a photo album that he had gotten as a present from Hagrid. On the first page was a picture of his mother and father. Lily was holding a small bundle in her arms, while James looked over the blanket at the cooing infant. A tear dropped from Harry's eyes and rolled down the middle of the page. "I miss you," he said as he turned the page.
His eyes filled with more tears as he saw Sirius at a wedding reception, waving his hand eagerly as he drank pumpkin juice from a goblet that had the Gryffindor lion on it. "Sirius," he said, "I wish you were here. If only I hadn't been tricked by Voldemort, you would still be here. I...I...'m sorry Sirius." Harry closed the book as he started shaking uncontrollably. He looked at the floor near his bed to see the mirror that Sirius had given him right where he left it. He shook with anger and pain as he buried his face into his pillow.
Suddenly he heard a soft tap on his window. He looked up, wiping his eyes with his hand. It was Hedwig. She had a letter attached to her leg. Harry opened the window and let her in. She glided over to the corner and landed on her perch. Harry filled her water bowl and handed her an owl treat before taking the letter from her leg. The writing was neat cursive and addressed from Hermoine.
Harry,
How are you? I know it has only been one month since Padfoot died, but you can't keep yourself bottled up in Privet Drive. Would you like to come over? My parents are on a two-week vacation to Hawaii because they won some contest. They said it was all right if I had a friend over for the summer, so I decided to invite you. Besides, I have something that might cheer you up. Send Hedwig over here with your response and take a taxi as soon as you're ready. Here is the money to get to my house.
Love, Hermoine
Harry turned the letter upside-down and let the money fall out. It would be a change from this place. "Wait a minute, did she say love?"
"Yep, she did. Looks like I might get some. One point, Harry Potter."
"Shut up, me. I don't like her like that. She is just my friend."
"Just your friend, with that tight body, and those hot, tight clothes."
"I said, shut up. I don't want to talk to myself about this topic anymore."
He sat down at his old desk and wrote his response. Love, Harry. "Wait, not love. 'Sincerely, Harry' sounds good, yeah, sincerely." He tied the letter to Hedwig and said, "O.K. girl, I want you to take this to Hermoine's house and stay there. I'll get there soon." He gave her another treat and she was off. Harry sighed and took an extra pair of clothes to the bathroom so he could take a shower.
He emerged twenty minutes later to pack. He placed the invisibility cloak on the bottom, then his school clothes, followed by his regular clothes. He then wedged his wand and the mirror Sirius had given him between his photo album and the clothes. Finally, he put his pair of rings that were his parents' engagement rings on top in their velvet box, silently thanking Dumbledore for the gift.
A few minutes later, he was waiting on the taxi to arrive. He was glad that Uncle Vernon and Aunt Petunia were with Dudley on a shopping spree, or else he wouldn't have been able to eat a decent meal before he was off. He saw the taxi pull up and took his things outside. He was quickly away from the Dursley's house, on his way to Hermoine's house.
(A/N: Sorry for the short chapter, but the next one will be better. I couldn't think of anything else to write about. This is my first fic also, so please be kind in your reviews. Thanks.) DtG
