Disclaimer: No matter how many times I modify JKR's memory, she is not convinced I wrote the books. Hah!

A/N: Chapter two. Not as short as the last one, eh? The spelling errors in Hagrid's letter are purposeful, before someone asks! Please review and enjoy!

Letter Bringer

Seemingly to end his brooding thoughts, Hedwig flew through the cool night air, onto Harry's bed. Extending her leg to him, he untied the pack of letters eagerly and sat down to read. "Thanks, Hedwig." With an affectionate nip of his finger, she had gone to her cage, perusing its contents. Groping beneath his feet, he lifted the loose floorboard. With in seconds he sat up, wand in hand, and muttered 'Lumos'. The room filled with an ebbing light.

Oh, crud. The muggles see that, and I'll be back in that bloody cupboard.

Harry remembered when he had been normal, before that fateful letter arrived, again shuddered. He scrambled under the sheets quickly and lifted the first letter from the stack, reading his address in a very familiar, untidy scrawl.

Dear Harry,

Hope yer well. Didn't want to give Hedwig

yer preasent- poor owl's got a load! 'Spect

you did well on yer O.W.L's. Have ter let

me know! See you at Hogwarts.

All The best,

Hagrid

Poor Hedwig. Hagrid probably filled her with treacle fudge. And if he didn't, that'll be my birthday present!

Harry set aside Hagrid's letter and opened the next. It was an especially bulky Hogwarts letter.

Harry was in awe. He had done it! Hermione could actually be proud of his grades for once, and Ron would be happy, they could be aurors together.

He set aside the unfinished Hogwarts letter, and fell backward onto his lumpy bed, content.
