Chapter Five: Muggles and Dreams
September the 3rd dawned bright and early, Bonnie Wright was woken by her alarm going off. She tapped it with her hand, stopping the whirring sound it was making. Her pink and yellow cloak said: 07:15. Grudgingly she pulled the covers off of her and got dressed, pulling on a smart pair of trousers and a light blue top with the slogan 'LOVE' written across it. She brushed her hair until it was thin, and let her black hair full to her hips, before she tied it back, and making herself look less lavishing.
It was her first day back at her Secondary School, the Local Comprehensive in Little Whinging. Once she had breakfasted, got her bag ready and splashed on a bit of make-up, Bonnie felt she was ready. As she left her room to go down stairs, her eyes fell on a particular photo.
It was of her and Harry, laughing and smiling sitting in the Fields outside Potter Manor. Claire had got it enchanted for her at Diagon Alley, but Bonnie knew that her parents were expecting visitors and didn't want them to see the picture as it was moving – and that would not bode well. She stuffed it into her school bag.
"Bon!" her mother called up the stairs! "Leanne's here and there are two letters for you!"
Bonnie zipped up her bag and went downstairs. Her mother greeted her and passed her the two letters. Leanne, her best friend was sitting in the lounge waiting for her.
"I'll just open these and then we'll go to school, okay?" Bonnie said as she sat opposite her friend.
The first letter was from her sister, Claire:
Hey, Bonnie!It's really great not being in the first year anymore. Hogwart's is fantastic! The second year is much harder. It's been two days and I already have an essay from Professor McGonagall about 'Explain and describe, using examples, how the Avefroir spell works' . A Potions Essay from Snape 'What are the Property's of Moonstone – Explain with examples' and I also have to answer questions on the spells we learnt last year for Charms. I can hardly remember them! I'm already regretting that I'm a Witch, but then Harry did say the school year starts off like this then settles down again and then goes back to it. It's so frustrating to think that he's in his last year! And Head-boy too! Everyone looks up to him!
Anyway, miss you loads and write soon! Enjoy school and keep mum and dad happy!
Lots of Love,
Claire
XXXXXXXXX
Bonnie smiled warmly. She missed her sister lots. She had been upset to find out that magic existed and that her sister was a Witch and she wasn't but she hadn't let her jealousy overwhelm her. Then she had found out Harry, who's she known for many years at Primary School, had been going to Hogwarts and was a Wizard. From there her life had taken a drastic turn.
She turned to the next letter which, before she had opened it, she knew it was from Harry.
Bonnie, my dearest love,
I think of you every day. I wish you could be here with me so I could share my wondrous world with you. The Summer Holidays were not the same without you. Hogwart's is no fun without you being there. There's a Hogsmeade trip just before Halloween. Would you like to meet up again? Professor Dumbledore has already agreed that you can come. Ron's taking Hermione...and I have no one to talk to. I'm sure you'll enjoy it like you did last time.
Write back soon,
My Undying Heart stays with you,
Lot's of love,
Your darling friend,
Harry
Forgetting all else around her, Bonnie grabbed a spare piece of paper and wrote a quick note to Harry.
Harry,
Yes, of course I'll come. I miss you loads. Can't wait to see you.
Love,
Your Sweetheart,
Bonnie
She rolled it up and asked her mother to post it that day to Harry. Bonnie had never let Leanne into the Kitchen since Claire had gone to Hogwarts, as they had brought an owl so they could send messages. Leanne, it seemed, did not suspect anything.
"I'm ready!" she declared. "Let's go to school."
Leanne and Bonnie began walking down the road towards school. As they passed Privet Drive, Bonnie glanced down it and saw Dudley trying to lift himself into the car, but he couldn't quite manage it. In the end Vernon had to help him. Both girls couldn't help but stifle some laughter.
"I can't see how Harry put up with them for so long!" Bonnie snorted.
Leanne nodded, agreeing. "Me too! Hey, how is Harry anyway? I haven't seen him for ages!"
Bonnie shrugged. "He's living with his Godfather now, somewhere in the country, far away from here."
"At least he's away from them!" Leanne laughed. "I didn't know Harry had a Godfather? Who is he?"
Bonnie struggled to think of a name. The Muggle newspapers had reported that Sirius Black had been wrongly imprisoned but nothing much had been said. Nothing had come lately about the custody hearing of Harry either so Bonnie didn't want her friend to know that she had actually met him. Leanne would freak out!
"Um...George something. I don't really know. When I went to his house I never got a proper chance to see him. He was rather busy at the time." That was a lie but Leanne didn't know that.
"Okay," Leanne shrugged. "Come on, let's get to school."
The day passed swiftly. Bonnie concentrated hard on her lessons and was rewarded no extra homework. When she got home, she flopped onto her bed, and flipped through her photo album of the pictures of her and Harry that had been taken of them throughout the Summer when she had visited him.
At Hogwart's Harry lay in his bed, sleeping soundly. Then his dreams turned dark and he was sure when he woke they were of Voldemort's doing.
"Master, it is right. We have learnt many secrets of Harry Potter." A cloaked figure was saying.
"Tell me." Voldemort hissed, his bright red eyes glowing in the darkness of the room.
"We intercepted a letter addressed to him. It is from a girl. A Muggle by the name of Bonnie Wright."
"A Muggle!" Voldemort replied, "Excellent."
"They will be meeting in Hogsmeade."
"Perfect timing for my plan to come forth. Potter will fall when his loved one dies." Laughed Voldemort. "Station yourselves round Hogsmeade on the day of the trip. Kill the Muggle. Let Potter suffer!"
Cold malicious laughter filled the room.
Harry woke up screaming: "BONNIE! NOOO!"
"Harry!" Ron asked, shaking him, "Are you okay?"
He shook his head. "It was just a dream. I'm fine."
Yet even though he tried to get back to sleep, Harry could not. He feared Bonnie's safety. If Voldemort found her...what could he do?
TBC
