Harry lay in bed. Staring out the window waiting for Hedwig to get back. He had let her out about an hour ago and she wasn't back yet. She must be feasting, Harry thought. He slowly fell asleep. He woke up startled to see Hedwig sitting on his windowsill tapping on the glass. "Hey girl, where have you been?" He said. There was a letter attached to her leg. It was from Sydney.
Harry,
Hey, hope everything is going okay! And that Uncle Vernon isn't laying anything too terrible on you. I'll be home in a few days! I love you and miss you! Tell Dudders I said hi!
Sydney
Harry smiled. He missed her too. Maybe tomorrow he would go hang out with Ron for a little. Or even go to Hogsmeade. He put Hedwig back into her cage and turned off the light. Plopping onto the bed he closed his eyes and fell quickly into a deep sleep.
When Sydney woke up the next morning she could feel that it would be a very interesting day. She couldn't wait to see Oliver. Hermione was already downstairs getting breakfast ready. "Good morning my dear!" Hermione said laughing as Sydney yawned loudly. "Morning. Where's your mom and dad?" "Work." "Alre-" Sydney caught herself as she realized what time it was. "I slept that long?" Hermione laughed again and nodded. "Oh, I feel so bad, why didn't you wake me up?"
"Because you need the sleep. Don't worry about it Syd, it's fine. Just come on, we need to eat and then head to the train station." Sydney nodded. "Go get dressed, I'll finish breakfast and then we can get a move on after we eat."
