This chapter is shorter then Chapter 1 but essential to get the reader introduced to the new characters I've created for the purpose of this story. Comments are appreciated. Enjoy!

Chapter Two: The Wright Sisters

The next couple of weeks passed in a haze of slowness, that threatened to drown Harry in its grip. He hardly moved from his room, except on the rare occasion he needed to use the bathroom. His Aunt and Uncle had finally relented in getting him to speak, deciding it was best to leave him alone.

Hermione and Ron had not written since their last letters, though Harry was writing to Lupin frequently, he knew they might be too busy to reply, what with doing stuff for the Order, but then again would it have really changed? Would Mrs. Weasley allow Ron to join the Order this year? Probably not.

He felt utterly useless staying here, thinking, just continuously thinking about the same thing again and again. Everyday he hoped that their would be a letter coming for him but none had come. The only mail Harry got was the DAILY PROPHET WEEKLY that was a paper that was published with all the previous weeks stories in it. This meant that Harry could keep up with the news of the magical world but still not have to worry about Voldemort until he got the paper the following week. It also served his boredom on Sundays.

As soon as the Owl had parted Harry glanced at the front page, but then he picked it up, his heart began beating about what he read, terror fleeing through his veins, before he calmed himself and re-read the article, calmly:

HE WHO MUST NOT BE NAMED SIGHTED!

Bonnie Wright, 16, a Muggle, in Little Winging, Surrey, swore to the Muggle 'please-men' that a man appeared, killed a man with a 'stick' and disappeared. The death of Harris Jones, a Wizard who is part of the Order of the Phoenix, was murdered by He Who Must Not Be Named, late at night in the vicinity of Magnolia Crescent.

"The death of Harris Jones was not accidental," according to Albus Dumbledore, "it was murder, committed by a man so desperate to get at the one he most surely wants."

When questioned by the Ministry of Magic, Albus Dumbledore revealed that Harris Jones had been on patrol, watching out for Harry Potter, the Boy Who Lived, and was protecting him from a safe distance.

It is believed that He Who Must Be Named is trying to 'rid the world' of Harry Potter so his path to domination is clear. Cornelius Fudge, the Minister of Magic, spoke today saying: "We are trying our hardest to locate He Who Must Be Named and to keep Harry Potter safe. The Aurors are working overtime. Up until now we've heard nothing of You-Know-Who, mainly because he's in hiding. This recent attack confirms that his goal is to get hold of Harry Potter."

Harry Potter, who at the age of one defeated You-Know-Who when He Must Not Be Named attacked his house, killing Lilly and James Potter witnessed the return of Lord Thingy but was not believed until He Who Must Not Be Named made an appearance at the Ministry of Magic in the middle of June this year. Harry Potter, who currently attends Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and is due to start his sixth year in September, resides in Little Whinging, just a road away from where Harris Jones was murdered, with his Muggle Aunt and Uncle.

"We fear the position Harry is in here if You-Know-Who attacked again." says Arthur Weasley of the Misuse of Muggle Artifacts Office.

Percy Weasley, son of Arthur, and secretary to the Minister of Magic says: "The Ministry is looking for a better way to keep a look-out on the area of Little Whinging, but we, at the office, think it would be wise for Harry Potter to be moved to a more secure location. Details are being discussed by Albus Dumbledore and Cornelius Fudge right at this moment."

Bonnie Wright, who's parents are Muggles, has been taken in for questioning. Her memory will not be modified as her younger sister will be starting Hogwarts in September.

REPORTED BY Ellis Parker

Harry put down the paper stunned. So that was why someone had come up to him and told him to be wary of where he was going when he'd gone for his walk. Apart from staying in his room, Harry had gone for several walks at least every two or three days. No wonder everyone in the neighborhood was edgy.

Bonnie Wright.

That name sounded familiar. And then he remembered.

When Harry had been at Primary School, before he'd found out he was a Wizard, Bonnie Wright had been in his class. On the rare occasion she'd smiled at him, and on their last day at the school she had spoken to Harry saying that she 'liked' him. He had been chaffed that she, the most beautiful girl in his year, had said even a word to him.

He closed his eyes thinking of her. He wondered if she remembered him. Bonnie had asked him what school he was going to and he had replied 'Stonewall High' and she had replied 'I'm going there too! We can be together, eh, Harry?' Harry felt his heart droop; if he hadn't gone to Hogwarts he would have been with Bonnie.

Then a knock came at his door and Aunt Petunia came in. "There's someone downstairs waiting for you."

Harry's heart leapt. Could someone be here to take him away? He followed his Aunt downstairs and stepped into the living room. It was not Lupin, not any of the Weasley's or of the Order, not Dumbledore, but Bonnie Wright. He had been thinking about her moments before, yet she was here, wanting to talk to him. Then his mind floated back to the article:Bonnie Wright, who's parents are both Muggles, has been taken in for questioning. Her memory will not be modified as her younger sister will be starting Hogwarts in September. Could they be here to speak to him about that?

Bonnie was wearing a lovely yellow summer dress, her eyes sparkled brown, her dark black hair trailed to her hips, and a nervous smile covered her face. Beside her, Harry assumed, was her sister.

"Hi," he said nervously.

"Hi Harry," Bonnie replied, "can we go somewhere more private?"

"Um, yeah, follow me." Harry beckoned. He led them out onto the conservatory where he shut the door, and closed the windows. He didn't wish to take her to his room. "So, um, what do you want?" he asked, politely.

Bonnie flicked her hair back running two fingers through it and putting an arm round her younger sister. "Tell me, is Hogwart's safe for Claire?"

Harry, startled by this question nearly fell onto the floor, but remained calm and spoke. "Yes. I've always been safe there."

"So, its true, what they say, you are the 'Boy Who Lived'?"

"Yes."

"You went to Hogwarts instead of Stonewall High?"

"Yes."

"I was really looking forward to seeing you there Harry. Away from Dudley and all that. I thought we could, well, be friends. I've always liked you, but never really shown it because of what other people say." Bonnie explained.

"Oh," Harry felt his mind ticking, "Thanks. So, um,"

He was cut off by Bonnie speaking again. "Tell me Harry, why didn't you tell me before that you were a Wizard?"

"I didn't know. I didn't find out until my eleventh birthday. I didn't know anything about the magical world. It was all so strange: I half expected to wake up and it would be all a dream, but it isn't."

"Oh, I'm sorry." Bonnie said. "I wish I could be a Witch. Its horrible knowing that Claire is one and that she'll be with you."

"How did you find out I was a Wizard?" Harry asked.

"When the Ministry of Magic came to me. They told my parents about my sister being magical and everything, and they brought up your name. I told them that I used to go to school with you and you were supposed to go to Stonewall High as well but you never showed up. They said that you were a Wizard and one of the most famous in history. I decided to come to you after researching a bit about the magical world. I thought I'd see if it was true." Bonnie said.

"Do you want me to look after Claire for you at Hogwarts?"

"That would be great! I'd feel better knowing she is in the hands of someone I can trust."

Claire had not yet spoken but now she did. "Will I enjoy it?" she piped up.

"Definitely," Harry said, "but watch out for Snape, the Potions master, he doesn't like any of the Students save those in his own house."

"I will!"

"Harry, tell us about Hogwarts." Bonnie urged.

So Harry did. He told them about his life and how magical it had become. He avoided saying anything about Voldemort. It was strange talking to Bonnie again, especially about the magical world. They sat there talking for the rest of the afternoon.

When Bonnie left, she gave him a peck on the cheek. He wished Bonnie had been a Witch then he could have been with her. He wondered what house her sister would be in.

If Claire was in Slytherin how would he be able to look after her? Especially with Draco Malfoy around?
