Author's Note: There is something wrong with this fic. I've had everything planned out for awhile now, but I never planned out what happened before Harry goes to Hogwarts. So if it's shitty, please forgive me. Once Hogwarts comes, you will know why you are reading this fic. Thanks for reviewing! It means a lot to me! :)

And I know this one is short, I'm sorry.

Chapter 3
The Missing Owl



Buckbeak's room was not nearly as clean as the rest of the house, but Lupin probably guessed that it would give them both privacy.

"Harry..." Lupin began, but he paused. "I know you don't want to talk about this but you're going to have to."

Harry said nothing, as if what Lupin had just said came in one ear and went right out the other. His attention focused on the sleeping Buckbeak.

"Unfair things happen," said Lupin. "They happen all the time. And you should know that better than most people."

"So what's that suppose to mean," said Harry. "I am just suppose to allow them to happen."

"That's not what I meant," said Lupin, he looked up at the ceiling as if it was going to help him. "I don't want this to bring you down. Sirius would not want you to feel like this. He'd want you to-" He stopped himself "He'd want you to fight back. You're not the only one who misses him. We all miss him."

Harry continued to concentrate on the sleeping Buckbeak, but he cared about what Lupin had to say. He was listening to every single word.

"I...really, Harry," said Lupin. "I don't know what to tell you that you probably haven't already heard. Just know that he is probably in a much better state than we are." Lupin Laughed.

He clapped Harry on the shoulder, and left the room. That wasn't that horrible, Harry thought to himself. He had to remind himself how close of friends Lupin and Sirius were, and that it must have been hard for him, too.

Harry stayed up in the room for quite some time. He didn't come down till it was almost dinner time. He found Ron in the kitchen waiting at the table.

"Hey mate," he said, sitting up straight as Harry walked in the room. "Dad's got some information on your O.W.L.S. He should be home any minute now."

Just as Ron finished his sentence, a loud crack echoed throughout the room. Mr. Weasley appeared at the kitchen door.

"Hello Harry," he said, taking a seat next to him. "Good to have you here. Listen. I've got some information about what happened. The-"

The twins came bursting through the door.

"What happened?" asked George, running to take a seat next to Ron.

"Yeah, do you need us to do anything?" Fred asked, taking the other seat next to Ron.

"Go hunt down an Owl or something?" George asked, in a very persistent manner.

"Will you two shut up," said Ron, looking from one to the other. "He hasn't even said anything yet."

"Anyway," said Mr. Weasley, continuing. " Apparently, The Owl that was sent out to deliver your test results never came back. It's very unusual for that to happen. However, there hasn't been much speculation that it has been intercepted. They are keeping a look out for the owl though, they said that when they find it they'd let me know."

"What about the results?" Harry asked. As much as he wanted to hear why he hadn't gotten his results, he would also like to hear what they are.

"They are going to send them out again in about a week," said Mr. Weasley, standing up from his chair. "I don't know why it will take that long, but it will."

"Where are you going?" asked Fred.

"To find Remus," said Mr. Weasley, as he opened the kitchen door. "I need to talk to him about...something."

"Well, we want to know what it is," said George, getting up from his chair, his twin following.

"No," said Mrs. Weasley. She entered the kitchen as her husband left. "Just because you are in the Order doesn't mean you have to know everything."

"Well, that's not fair," said Fred, sitting back in his seat, George doing the same.

"How come you two never go to work?" asked Harry, out of curiosity.

"Go to work?!" Both asked together.

"I'll have you know that we are taking a well deserved vacation," said George.

"Besides," said Fred. "We can now afford to have people take care of the store for us."

"And we have also offered to pay for a vacation for mum and dad," said George, looking over his shoulder at Mrs. Weasley, who began to cook dinner. "But they won't have it."

"We don't need it," said Mrs. Weasley, over her shoulder. "And you two better start saving that money. At the rate you're going, they'll be none left by the time your Bill's age."

"Fine with us," said Fred, relaxing in his chair.

"We'll just spend the rest of our lives at our mansion in Spain," said George, leaning back a bit.

"You bought a house in Spain?" asked Ron, staring at the both of them. "You don't even speak the language."

"Por favor," said Fred. "Just give us time."

"Mum's right," said Ron. "You are going to spend it all. You're going to end up like Ludo Bagman."

"Little Brother," said George. "Do not ever compare us to that thief. We earn our money, we don't steal it."

"Well, you could at least have finished Hogwarts," said Mrs. Weasley.

"Enough already!" both twin yelled at her.
