Chapter 23
Harry rushed quickly to the Owlery, set on writing a letter as soon as he could. He reached it in a minute and grabbed a piece of parchment, quill, and ink. He frantically began writing a letter.
Percy-
Hello, it's Harry. Ron, Ginny, and Hermione have been acting very strange towards me and they have just informed me that they no longer wish to be friends with me. I was hoping if you weren't busy, could you maybe send an owl to Ron or Ginny and find out why this happened? I know this is a lot to ask, but I would really appreciate it and I would be forever in your debt. Thanks so much.
-Harry Potter
Harry finished and called out for Hedwig to come down. She landed in his arm and he put his letter on her leg. He told her where to go and watched as she flew out of sight. He then headed down to breakfast in the Great Hall. It was still relatively early, so there were plenty of empty seats. Harry paused, wondering if he should sit where he usually did with Ron, Hermione, and Ginny. He decided against it and sat about 10 seats away from his old place, He started eating until he looked up and saw his 3 ex- friends enter. He suddenly felt his appetite and he pushed his plate away. He looked with disdain as he saw Ron, Hermione, and Ginny all chatting quite merrily.
'They don't even care I'm gone. They don't care at all. What great friends they were.' Harry thought as they all laughed at something Ron had said. Harry stood up from his seat and walked as quickly out of the Great Hall as he could without running. As he exited the Great Hall, Harry ran right into Draco Malfoy.
"Watch where you're going Potter," Draco said as Harry stood up. Draco looked around as if he were looking for someone.
"Where are your little Weasels and your Mudblood Potter? Dead I hope."
Harry rolled his eyes and brushed himself off.
"As it is, I'm not friends with them anymore. Not that it's any of your business anyways."
Draco's expression changed immediately and he broke into a cheesy smile and extended his hand towards Harry.
"Well, glad to know you came to your senses. Maybe now, you can be friends with the right people."
Harry stared at Draco with utter loathing. "Just because I don't have my old friends, doesn't mean I'm that desperate. None of this changes the fact that you are a complete and utter git, so bugger off."
Harry pushed passed Draco, his foul mood even worse than ever.
