Early the next morning, Harry woke up with the vivid dream still fresh in
his mind. Pondering on how to get to Draco without it being completely
obvious, he started getting dressed quietly so he wouldn't wake anyone else
up.especially Ron.
Ron was the last person Harry wanted to know about this. What would he
think if he found out about Draco? He would lose his best friend for sure.
And what would everyone else think? Harry couldn't stand the thought.
He quickly slipped out of his dormitories without a sound and out into the
hallways. He walked briskly towards the Great Hall, still pondering what he
should. About halfway there, he realized that it was still rather early in
the morning and that breakfast would not start for a while. He then turned
around and headed in the opposite direction towards the Owlery.
He sighed dejectedly as he walked in, feeling the cool breeze coming
through the glassless windows. He looked around for Hedwig, and couldn't
see her until she landed on his shoulder, scaring half to death.
Hedwig was truly his only friend he could confide. While she gave no advice
or criticism, she still sat there and listened attentively while he spilled
all of his problems. Her large amber eyes were always fixed upon his face
as he told her about whatever was going on his life. The same was happening
now as he told her about Draco, and what he was going through.
".I just don't know what to do about it, Hedwig. I need to talk to him, but
I need to do it in a way so that know one knows about it. How could I do
that?"
Hedwig looked at him, her large round eyes boring into his and then she
stuck out her leg.
"I don't have a letter to send you." Harry trailed off. A bright smile
appeared on his face before looking for a scrap piece of paper and
something to write with. Miraculously, he found some lying on this floor,
rumpled up in the corner. The paper had already been written on, but he
didn't care. He only needed to use a small piece.
He wrote avidly and then tied the letter to Hedwig's leg. "Now make sure he gets this at breakfast." Harry said, while stroking her feathers. Hedwig flew out the window and down around the Great Hall so she could see when she could deliver it.
Harry rushed down the stairs, feeling much relieved.
