Hey everyone, thank you for your reviews especially SilverWilver I really appreciate all the feedback that I am recieving. I have been getting plenty of ideas for upcoming chapters, especially the Battle. Wonder how Harry will defeat Voldermort when people think he is dead?
--Jess
Harry knew what he was doing was risky, but it was something he had to do. This was his burden to fulfill and noone else's. He was the chosen one.
Since Harry was not allowed to do magic for another few weeks; where can he go to be safe? He certainly can't go to the Burrow, because he does not want to be seen. Going to Grimwald Place would bring back painful memories of Sirius. Plus he doesn't reckon if anyone would be staying there.
Harry stopped to think at the place where he first saw Sirius. He opened his trunk and began to look through it, hoping to find what he was looking for. He quickly pulled out his invisibility cloak and a tiny vial of Felix Felicis. He carefully took off his glasses and placed them in a pocket, then proceeding to take a sip of the potion. Just as he took the sip, the Knight bus came pulling up.
Harry smelled something in the air, which he thought was smoke, but disregarded it and climbed into the bus.
"To the Leaky Cauldron" he said placing his cloak on.
-------Ginny's Room---------
Ginny was sitting in her room blasting "The Scientist" because she did not want to be bothered with.
The news of Harry's death did not go easily. The memory of when her and Harry first kissed raced through her mind. The game, the party afterwards, Ron not freaking out, and the walk afterwards.
She believed that her and Harry had something special.
"He just can not be dead!" she screamed to herself, throwing a pillow across the room while tears began to fall down her face.
She picked up some left over parchment from school and a quill and began to write as she stared out her window.
Dear Harry,
If you don't reply to this, then I will understand and never give up hope. There is something that I have been wanting to say to you. Harry—I love you and I will always love you. I must be going Lockhart crazy to believe you will respond. All I need, I guess, is some kind of closure. I'll miss you Harry. You are and forever will be in heart and mind.
With Love,
Ginny
Just as she finished writing, there was a knock on the door and Ron came in looking like he had just lost the Quidditch World Cup.
"Be nice to him Ginny, he just lost his best friend…"
"I just lost the love of my life…."
"He was closer to Harry…"
"…But I loved him…"
When Ginny was done battling herself in her head, she finally had enough courage to say something, while she quickly folded up the letter.
"Hey Ron, what's up?" "Idiot, Idiot, you know what's up..Harry!"
"Errrr…I was just …umm….seeing if you were alright…" Ron stumbled out, as he looked around her room awkwardly like he has never been in there.
"Yeah, I'm doing alright—"she lied, putting the letter into her pocket. "Hey Ron, do you mind if I use Pig? It's kind of important."
"I guess so. Who are you writing to? He asked as he came into the room more.
"I ..errr….Dean." Ginny responded. If she told Ron that she was writing to Harry, he would really think she was nutters.
"Why are you writing to that git? After what he did to you? AND now of all times, I mean for MERLINS sake, Harry just died! " He demanded placing his hands on his hips. Tears were making his eyes glisten.
"That is none of you business Ron. Can you please leave me alone?" Ginny asked quietly making it seem like she was doing something she shouldn't be.
"Yeah, yeah okay. If you need anything, I am here for you Gin." He replied sadly.
"Thanks Ron."
Ginny quietly snuck up to Ron's room to get pig, without attracting attention.
"Hey Pig, I'd really like you to take this to Harry" she whispered. "This is really important. Please"
And with that, Pig was flying off into the sky.
