"Chelsey! GET THESE DAMN OWLS OFF MY BACK DECK!" your dad yells up the stairs. "Im comming, can I at least put a freaking shirt on!" You yell back down the stair case. 'Owls? .. as in.. more then one?' you think to yourself as you throw a shirt on over your head and run down the stairs. "Why must you yell? Your going to scare them!" you say to your dad over your shoulder as you open the back door. "Because I dont want them damned things shitting all over my porch! Cant your friends send letters like EVERY other NORMAL person?" He says raising his voice once again. Both your parents have been very cranky lately, you werent completely sure why. You roll your eyes and close the door behind you as you step out onto the porch. And sure enough, your dad was right about there being more then one owl. There was a beautiful white bird perched on a rocking chair. You knew it was Harry's owl Hedwig. Also there was a tiny owl spinning in the air around your head, It was Pig, Rons owl. Sitting on the railing scratching its feathers was a brown owl. Of course, Hermione. And there, sure enough, a Great pure Black owl perched on your mothers flower pot, you take a deep breath. It was Draco's. You sigh and reach up into the air and catch Pig, You stroke his feathers and untie the letter attached to his leg quickly, feed him an owl treat from your pocket, and let him go, he takes off hooting around the back yard. Next you go to Hedwig, stroke her, take the letter, give her an owl treat, and she goes to take off. "No Wig, I need you to take a letter back to Harry.. So stick around alright?" You say to the white owl. She hoots and flys off to a tree in your back yard. You do the same with Hermiones owl (you didnt know its name) and it flew off into the same tree that Wedwig went too. Now you go walk over to Draco's owl. You reach out and take the letter, give it an owl treat, even though you didnt really want too, and tell him to fly off. He spreads his wings and takes off, but to your horror he sits up in the tree with the other owls. 'I bet Draco told him not to leave with out a responce' you think. You shrug and take a seat on the rocking chair. You pick up the letter from Harry and open it.
Hey Chelsey!
How have you been? Im sorry I havn't written all summer. My Dimwit of a Uncle sort of scared Hedwig away, and well.. she didnt come back for awhile. So I was owl-less. I took care of that though. Lets just say he didn't leave the bathroom for a few good..days. Hah! Anyway, How was your Summer? Mine was alright. I spent most of it at the Weasley's, Hermione came too. I wish you could of been there. You could of seen me beat Ron in a quidditch match, several times. We are back at Hogwarts now, We've been here for about 3 weeks now. It feels good to be back. Seems weird with out you here though. It's rather scary too. This will be our last year here at Hogwarts. I'm still not sure what I want to do when I get out. Ron is not very sure either. Hermione is though, Good ol' Herm. Always has a plan. Hah. She wants to be a teacher here at Hogwarts. I'm not sure which class she wants to teach though. I havn't been paying much attention, its all she talks about now, well besides missing you. Don't tell her I told you that. She would kill me. Me and her are doing pretty well by the way, we talked about moving in with each other once school is out. Well I hope to hear from you soon. Tell Uncle John I said Hello, and best of luck on whatever film project he is doing now. And give Aunt Grace my best will you?
I really wish you would come back, I miss having my cousin around.
Harry
You fold up the letter and sigh. 'I miss it too' you say out loud sadly. 'There I go again..talking to myself' you reply to yourself. You set Harry's letter down and pick up Hermiones.
Dear Chelsey,
I'm sorry I did not write this summer. I was really busy with figuring out what I want to do after Hogwarts and what not. This is our LAST year of school! Can you beleive it? I can't. Anyway, How are you? How was your summer? Again I am so sorry for not sending any letters. Please forgive me. Harry and I are pretty serious now, well more so then what we were. We even talked about moving in with each other, getting a small apartment or something, while I go to school to become a teacher at a local college.. Yes thats right. A teacher. I want to teach here at Hogwarts. I am still not sure which classes I want to teach. But I think it will be 'History of Magic' or 'Muggle Studies'. I am going to take one year of courses at the college, then get my teachers degree, and come back to Hogwarts. I'm not sure what Harry will be doing at that point. But I'm sure he will come and live at Hogwarts with me. Or perhaps stay at our apartment, and I'll go home on weekends. But we will figure that out later. I do wish he would make a choice about what he wants to do though. He and Ronald both. Mrs. Weasley is getting on Ron's case though for me. So I have not bothered him too much about it. Ginny of course is the most prettiest girl in the whole school. She has all guys in every year all over her, and even from all the houses, encluding Slytherin! Ron is going completely mad over it all too. I find it rather funny. But what Ron doesn't know, is there is a Very young, very cute, right out of Wizarding school, from Greece, teacher! He is to die for. You would love him. He isn't all that great of a teacher though, he slacks a lot and does too many activities and not enough text book work! He teaches 'Defense Against the Dark Arts' Since Professor Hawthorn retired this year. His name is Professor Conner. And he has got the love-filled-eyes for Ginny. But Don't tell Ron, he is going to flip when he finds out! Well I must stop writing now. I have a ton of work to catch up on. Please write me back! I miss you so much! Please think about comming back to Hogwarts, it is not the same with out you.
Love Always
Hermione
You stare at Hermiones letter. Yep, Good 'ol Hermione always has a plan. You smile to yourself in sadness, and lay Hermiones letter on top of Harry's. You open Ron's next.
Hey Chels
How is it going? I'm sorry I didnt write, its been hectic here at the borrow. Mums been going crazy about me not knowing what im going to do once I get out of Hogwarts. Its been a real pain in the ass. And then I had Harry and Hermione here. And Mum made us go out and look for jobs and stuff for after we graduate, and stuff. It was insanly boring. Back at Hogwarts now, Not the same with out you around though. I miss you like crazy. Classes are harder then ever. And Hermione refuses to give me and Harry any more help or notes, she says we need to actually learn something for once and not smooch off of her, because in the 'real world' you cant smooch, and actually have to do the work yourself. I personaly think she's gotten even more insane, especialy since you left. All she does is keep herself busy, and burst into tears everytime me or Harry mention you or something reminds her of you. I dont think there are going to be very many guys left at Hogwarts. They all drool after Ginny all the time. Younger and Older then her, and even guys from SLYTHERIN! Can you believe it? We have a new DADA teacher. Professor Conner is his name, He's great! He has us do these awesome projects, and hardly any workbook stuff. It ticks Hermione off though. She thinks he is too 'immature' to be a teacher. Only because he lets us slack on work, and even slacks himself. The other day we didnt even HAVE class because he didnt make a lesson plan so we just sat around and talked to him. All the girls turn to goo around him though. I dont see why, I think he looks like a git, but he is a bloody good teacher. Snape is meanier then ever. We have double potions three times a week! And he makes us write these HUGE papers on the most stupid things. And we only have a day to do them! Sorry, dont mean to go off on you and sound like a git. How is school going there? Your going to a muggles school arnt you? Well write back soon.
Think about comming back to Hogwarts, would you? We all miss you, I miss you.
Ron
You close up Ron's letter and place it with Harry's and Hermiones. Tears sting your eyes. You had missed them all so much as well. Yes, you were going to a muggles school. You hated it. You had no friends, no one liked you. Not that you made much of an impression on them though. Or even tried to talk to them. You didnt care. At this point tears were running down your cheek. It had been a few weeks since you last cried. You thought you were over it. Guess not. You raise your hand to wipe away your tears, and realize you had another letter in your hand. Draco's. You stared at it for a minute, un-opened. You didnt know wether to throw it out, read it, or tear it into a million shreads and burn it. It had been over a month since your last letter from Draco, trying to say he was sorry. Tear drops start hitting the letter. You stand up, walk over to the end of the deck. Crush it in your hand. And throw it away.
