The Eternal Series - Roses Always Die
Chapter One
He couldn't cry. His head hurt too much. It had only been one day since Harry had left Hogwarts for the summer, but it had felt much longer. The Dursley's had so far heeded the Order's warning and let him be, but Harry stayed out of their way anyway. He felt that he might not leave his room until it was time to go back to Hogwarts. Sleeping away the summer sounded good to him. The previous night Harry had slept peacefully and he hoped it stayed that way. Harry got a chill even though the warm summer air coming in through his open window. On one of the breezes came his snowy owl, Hedwig. She flapped down beside him and hooted.
"Where've you been?" Harry asked her. She held out her leg in reply.
Harry sighed and took the letter.
Dear Harry,
We hope you're okay. Since we're staying staying at you know where, it was decided that sending one owl for the both of us would be better than two. Dumbledore said he'll be sending people to get you in sometime soon, so don't worry.
"I'm not," Harry said.
I, no we, really hope you're all right. Try to stay out of trouble, and the Order would like us to remind you that if the Dursley's do anything to owl us right away so they can put a stop to it.
Love,
Hermione and Ron
Harry forced himself up and grabbed some parchment and ink. He sat back down and began to right….
Dear Hermione and Ron,
I'm fine, I'm fine, I'm fine, and once again I'm fine.
Harry
"Come here Hedwig," said Harry.
She shook her feathery head, being as lazy as he was, and not wanting to go out again.
"It won't take that long, you silly owl."
Hedwig flew over sullenly.
"Make sure you fly away before they can give a reply. If what they say is true the Order may not let them send another owl after you're gone."
Hedwig hooted and flew back out the window.
Harry laid his head back down and curled up in a ball. His head throbbed but he ignored it. There were more important things, like sleeping.
