A/N: heres chapter 2! enjoy!
The fourth day, Hedwig still hadn't returned. Harry was starting to feel anxious. He looked at his door. There was a bowl of soggy cereal on the floor in front of the cat flap in his door. His stomach growled but he refused to eat it. He lay back down on his bed and dozed off. Harry must have slept all day because when he woke up again, the clock said 11:52 P.M. He had slept the whole day away. He nearly screamed as well. There was a ton of owls on him…just sitting there on him. Hedwig, Pidwigeon, a school owl and two owls he didn't recognize. He counted five all together. He quickly pushed all the owls off him and detached all the letters and set them down on his dresser. As usual, Hedwig and pidwigeon flew over to Hedwig's cage, but also one of the strange owls flew over there too. Harry looked at it awkwardly. Why was this strange owl acting just as if it lived here? As soon as the school owl and other strange owl flew off, he settled down on his bed to open his letters. He felt rather cold even though it was in the middle of summer. He got up, casting a wary glance and the three owls nestled on Hedwig's cage and closed the window and settled down to read his letters. He opened the first one. It was from Hermione.
Dear Harry,
How are you? I hope you are well. I sure am. I haven't heard from Ron lately. Have you? I do you he's alright. On other news, only one more month until you move to the Burrow! I sure bet your excited. I believe I'm staying there until September first. I'm arriving the same day as you, that is, if we decide to go back. I hope you will even without Dumbledore there, its still safer then the burrow. I just wish I could move there too. Not just because of Ron. J. well I have to go. Mum is ranting about the dishes needing washed.
Love you tons,
Hermione Granger
Harry smiled. He liked Hermione a lot, but only as a sister. Hermione knew that. Besides, she liked Ron and he loved Ginny. That was how it was. He put Hermione's letter to the side and picked up another letter. It was from Ginny. He smiled. Harry really like Ginny. Although his feelings came very quickly. He remembered not liking her, then when he found her snogging in the hall…that's where the feelings came from. Harry opened the letter eagerly.
Dear Harry,
How are you? I hope your well. I have something to tell you. Just to let you know, its not even my fault. But we wont be able to 'see' each other ever again. Mum and dad don't want me around you. They don't even want you living here. The only reason your coming is because Ron threatened to go find You-Know-Who and get killed. Oh Harry! You know I love you so much! But mum has had me betrothed. that's an arranged marriage for when I get out of Hogwarts and there is nothing I can do to get out of it. You probably don't believe me, but its true. Ever since Dumbledore…died, mum and dad haven't been the same. They think You-Know-Who will come knocking on our door looking for you or something. Well I better go now Harry, before mum catches me writing to you. We will talk when you come next month. I truly love you!
Love,
Ginny Weasley
Harry sat down numbly and reread the letter. His face was covered with tears. This couldn't be happening. This wasn't happening. Everyone was turning against him. This wasn't fair. He couldn't even turn to the Weasleys anymore. He just hoped Ron and Hermione would stick to what they said last week about how they would never leave him. He truly loved Ginny and now he couldn't have her thanks to Mr. and Mrs. Weasley. He was so upset. He knew Ron and Hermione liked each other. That was obvious. But Ginny…she was going to betrothed…to who? Harry read the letter again. It didn't say…he frowned. What if it was to a Slytherin? Or someone she hated. She didn't deserve this. Harry wiped his face and looked at the picture of his parents…he wondered how life would be if all these things in his life never happened…he could be normal…..maybe…
Please R&R!
