Hey to all my readers! Loved your reviews! Keep reviewing, and I'll keep writing! :-)
CHAPTER 2
Ron's letter had made him very, very, very happy to leave the Durselys.
Hermione's letter was next. "Oh God," Harry thought to himself. He knew Hermione was so worried that she wouldn't enjoy her summer. But, well, he knew she was his friend for a reason.
Dear Harry,
I've been absolutely worried sick about you trying to kill yourself over Sirius since you got off the train! Harry- DON'T! I know you won't but I'm still worried. Ron told me he's inviting you to spend the summer. That's great, because then you won't have to think about it all the time while cooped up in that dreadful place with the Durselys. Oh, I do hope they are treating you well!
I expect Ron told you about the Cho thing. Well, after you left she came up to Ron and me and asked about you. You can totally tell she still likes you. I know Ron's quite convinced you should stay away from her, but, well, it's your decision anyway. She also said when Ron left that she realized hanging on the Cedric all this time was stupid, I mean, come on; couldn't she have realized that last year, when you needed the most support? Oh well.
I'll see you in two weeks at the Burrow- can't wait to see you again- and –don't kick yourself all summer because of Sirius. Talk to Lupin, he'll listen, or maybe even Ron. Ron wants to help, he told me that.
Always, Hermione
That letter was what Harry expected of Hermione, but the fact that Cho actually said something to Hermione made him feel even better. He was also glad Ron wanted to actually talk to him, of course, that shouldn't be a surprise. But Ron never really wanted to bring it up, because Ron knew Harry was still upset. The idea of talking to Lupin also made sense, because Sirius and he had been best friends since school.
Harry opened the last letter, almost being disappointed, because, well, he wanted more.
Harry-
The Order has been worried ever since we left you at the platform 2 weeks, 5 days, 18 minutes, and 25 seconds ago. The Weasleys, as you probably heard, want you to stay with them for the summer. That's great; we'll get to see you!
We know you're still upset about Sirius, and so are we. The days go by like years, still, we are able to go on. Now, destroying You Know Who is even more important, for us, and probably you as well, because he indirectly killed Sirius. Everything makes sense now, eh? The prophecy explains all to you. I do not want to dwell on this for very long, but, Harry- YOU DIDN'T DO ANYTHING WRONG.
We all hope to see you in about 12 hours, 30 minutes, and 6 seconds. We'll be at the Burrow when you arrive!
-Your friends at the Order
Harry could see, based on the letters, that he was cared for. Last year, he felt like everyone left him out, and it was a nightmare. Nobody told him anything, and nobody, he felt, was on his side.
"It's different this year. It will be. I know it," Harry thought. "I was too ignorant and angry to know that they actually cared about me. I was too distanced from my friends. I will make this year different."
