Hey everyone, sorry its been taking so long to update but this week hasn't exactly been the best. My brother was in the hospital for something really serious, and i've been worrying like CRAZY about him. Also school has been TERRIBLE!I swear my teachers hate me, and the homework is like coming to you in like truck loads for each class. Its ridiculous! But on a happier note, i got my tongue pierced on Tuesday. Its hurts alot though. Well enough boring you people with my life...ON WITH THE STORY!

Disclaimer: I DO NOT OWN ANY OF THE CHARACTERS IN HARRY POTTER, AND LIKE I HAVE SAID IN MY LAST CHAPTER, DON'T GET YOUR PANTIES IN A BUNCH!

Oh ya...and Dumbledore didn't die in this story!

It really isn't"Goodbye"after all

Chapter 2: Harry at Number 4

One and 1/2 weeks later:

Harry Potter said on his bed at Number 4 Private Drive feeling very lonely and bored. He has been home for the summer for about a week and a half now. He already has gotten like 10 letters from and very lovesick Ron.

All hecan talk about is Luna. Ever since their little make-out session, after getting back from the Ministry the previous year, Ron just won't shut-up about her. It's nice that Ron found someone but ,really, 10 letters in one week!

Harry secretly wished that he would find someone.

Harry has received letters from alot of people actually, they promised him that it wouldn't be like last summer. They promised to keep him up-to-date with the order and all. Dumbledore wrote him as well as Oliver Wood, Katie Bell, Ginny, Hagrid and Lupin.It seemed like everyone wrote him. Everyone except the one that mattered the most. Hermione.

She said that she would write,but he still hasn't recieved a single letter yet. He must have sent at least five asking her about her time in America, and a couple asking her if she was mad at him for what happened on the platform. He eventually started to think that Hedwig was getting intercepted whenever he wrote her.

So he decided to use Pig (Ron's owl) whenever he came back withthe nextLuna-obsessed-letter that he was sure to receive in the next hour.

Half anhour later:

Surley enough half and hout laterPig pecked at Harry's bedroom window with a letter attached to his leg. It was from Ron, Harry could tell by the handwriting.

Harry,

Have you ever noticed how blue Luna's eyes are? I never knew... she is so beautiful Harry!

Ron

Yep...it was from Ron alright.Every time he thought about something about Luna he had to write Harry. Like the other day Harry got this from him:

Harry,

Luna is just so great, i can't stop thinking about her. She is so wonderful. I need to see her.

Ron

It was getting just a little bit annoying. But on the other hand Pig is here so now Harry has to wirte Hermione. He didn't know what to write maybe why haven't you written me back? or Are you mad at me for what happened on the platform because if it is i'm sorry and i didn't mean it. No, that would never work because he wasn't sorry and he did mean it. Harry was crazy about her and she did too. Well he hoped that she did too. Harry was planning on asking her out when they got back to school. Seeing as how he didn't do it last year when he was planning on doing it. But with all the stuff that went on, they never really got enough alone time. But that wasn't going to happen until school started and hedosen't have enough courage yet.

So he just decide to write thetypical 'friend' thing

Hermione,

So,how is America? Hope you tell me all about it once you get back. Ron andI miss you terribly. WellI really wouldn't count on Ron caring about anything except Luna though. You know he sent me about 10 letters in the past week saying things like "Have you ever noticed her eyes" or "She really is a great kisser". It is just getting alittle annoying. But anyways how have you been? I really would like you to write me back atleast once. I don't know why you haven't yet, i mean are you mad at me for what happened on the platform? I'm sorry if it wasn't what you wanted, but i really enjoyed it. Hope to see you at Ron's soon. You are still coming right?

Love, Harry

"That has to have been one of the hardest things that I have ever had to write anyone", Harry said to himself as he folded up the letter and tied it to Pig's leg.

He watched Pig as he made his way towards America to Hermione, who he hoped would write him back this time.

He leaned back on his chair and sighed as he pondered his thoughts. He was so oblivious to everything around him that he failed to notice that someone, probably his uncle, was pounding on his door and yelling something like "Potter, get...down...here...right...NOW! Or i'll lock you in the cupboard for a week!"

Harry didn't care, all he was thinking was... Hermione.

Hey Everyone...hoped you liked my second chapter. Sorry it was so short, and it kind of sucked. I promise the next one will be better. Ohh...and i made some kool-aid so anyone who gives a positive review will get some and i might even make some cookies! ;)
