Chapter 7- Godric's Death
All of a sudden the lights went back on. Harry saw Daffs holding Godric as if he was a baby. She was crying and her tears went down into Godric's fur.
"Don't worry Daffs. We'll find who did this to Godric. But right now we have to figure out what just happened to the lights and who was looking through my stuff." Harry said.
Daffs slowly put Godric down on her bed. She covered him with her blanket. She then followed Harry out of her room. They walked back silently to Harry's room. Daffs was too upset to talk and Harry was scared she would become emotional again so he kept quiet. As soon as they got to Harry's room, Harry broke the silence.
"This is the first place we looked during the black out. Let's see if there is anything we could find." Harry said.
They walked into the room. Daffs sat on Harry's bed. Harry started putting his clothes and shoes back in his closet. He found a picture on the floor along with the book Ron and Hermione bought him. He picked up the picture. It was a picture of Harry's parents.
"What is that?' Daffs asked.
"It's a picture of my parents." He answered.
"Can I see what they look like?"
All of a sudden the door opened and Mark barged in.
"I'll show you later" Harry said to Daffs.
"Mark, why is it that you always come at the wrong moment?"
She said as she left the room.
"What was that about?" Mark asked.
"Well Daffs just found out that Godric died in the blackout."
"So that gives her the right to act snobby to me?"
"No, but don't be so hard on her. If your pet died, you'd be upset too."
"Well it doesn't matter because I don't have a pet. Whatever I'm hungry, I'll see you later."
Mark left the room. He didn't think that Mark was guilty. He picked up the picture of his parents.
"If you guys were only here, none of this would be happening. I would never have lived with the Dursleys and I would never have ended up here." Harry thought.
He decided to write to Ron and Hermione:
Hey Guys! Harry wrote.
Hey Harry! What's going on? I haven't heard from you for weeks. Are you okay? Ron wrote.
Hey Harry, How's life? We miss you at Hogwarts. Hermione wrote.
Nothing is going on. I just wanted to say hi. I really miss you guys. I want to come back to Hogwarts. Any news from Dumbledore?
He can't do anything. He's still trying.
There's some kind of thing going on here. The power went out today and a girl's squirrel was killed. It's kind of odd. Who would want to scare an orphanage? Anyway I have to go find the girl so I'll talk to you later. Bye!
Harry we have to tell you something.
What?
The one-who-should-not-be-named is in the muggleworld. Harry you better be careful. He's very dangerous.
How do you know?
It's all over the news.
Don't worry about me. I fought him once I'll fight him again. I have to go. Bye!
Goodbye Harry.
Goodbye Harry. Keep in touch and watch your back.
Harry closed the book. There was a knock on the door. It was Daffs.
"Can I come in?"
"Yeah, sure. Sorry about before. Mark just wanted to see if I wanted a snack."
"It's okay. I just wanted to let you know that if you ever want to talk about your parents, I'm here for you."
"Thanks Daffs. But right now I'm okay. How about you?"
"I'm fine. Madame Claire just buried Godric in the backyard. I made him a little headstone."
"Oh. Umm…I was just wondering if you would like to see the picture of my parents. I have never showed it to anyone."
"Harry, you really don't have to show me. I'm really nosy. I should never have asked."
"No, Daffs. It's okay. They died along time ago and it's okay now. Here I'll show you."
Harry went to his draw and took out his picture and walked over to the bed where Daffs was sitting. Daffs reached her hand out but Harry ignored it.
"Wow, is that your mom?"
"Yeah"
"She's beautiful. What was her name?"
"Lily"
"See I'm not the only one with a flowery name."
"Yeah I guess."
"What was your dads name?"
"James."
"Harry, can I hold the picture up to the light, there's a glare."
"Yeah sure as long as I can hold one side. I don't want to loose it."
"You don't trust me?"
Daffs grabbed on the side of the photo where Harry's mom stood. Harry held onto the side where Harry's father sat on a chair.
All of a sudden, there was a gust of wind and Harry and Daffs started floating in the air.
"Harry, what's going on?" Daffs cried.
"I don't know but hold onto me"
Daffs grabbed onto Harry. They did not know where they were going but Harry had a bad feeling about this.
