Chapter Two : An Unexpected Delivery

Ginny Squealed and ran to open her window for the familiar bird. "Hedwig! Hello there!" She exclaimed, startled to see the bird really. The owl flew around the room twice before landing on Ginny's couch. She rushed over to the out stretched leg of the bird to untie the parchment that was secured there. She patted Hedwig's head gently and gave her a treat, and opened the letter as the owl hooted softly. She sat down and read the letter with a pounding heart:

Dear Ginny,

Well hello there! It's been a while since we last talked hasn't it? Well, I was up last night. Remembering on how we used to hang out a lot and I realized that I am still in touch with 'Mione and Ron, but not you! I thought this to be absurd so I fancied writing you. I got your address from your brother, Ron. I just figured I'd write you to say hi and that I was thinking of you…and the rest of the group. But I must go, I have urgent business to attend to but I hope to hear from you. I'm sorry this was short. I hope Hedwig found you well enough.

Your Friend,

Harry Potter

Ginny's heart skipped a beat as she read the letter through two more times. Harry had written, Harry Potter! She didn't come out of her daze until Hedwig softly hooted in her direction. Ginny jumped out of her stupor and quickly ran to the kitchen, leaving Hedwig dazed at the sight of her running so fast. Ginny frantically searched the room for a quill and a bit of paper to write him back with.

Dear Harry,

It was so good to hear from you. It was just earlier that Hermione and I were talking of you at lunch! Last night I sat up looking over my past years at Hogwarts and came across a picture of my third year. We were all there. I'm going to buy a frame for it. I'm glad you wrote me, I've really missed you over the years. I am planning a get together for the old gang again, and it would be wonderful if you make it. This Saturday here at my flat. I'll give you directions.

She quickly scribbled out her directions to her house for Harry to come, and continued to write.

I so hope you can come! It would be wonderful to see you. Um, thanks for writing, but I must go, owl me back if you can, Hope to see you on Saturday!

Love,

Ginny Weasley

She quickly secured the message to Hedwig's leg and watched her fly until she was out of sight. She sighed as she headed back to her kitchen slowly. She glanced at her clock, it read only 4:30. My it does feel later than what is truly is. She thought to herself. She sauntered into her living room and grabbed her favorite book and relaxed onto her overstuffed but fashionable couch. Her reading was interrupted as a loud pop sounded through her flat causing her to jump and drop her book. She looked about only to find her brother Ron standing in the doorway, eating an apple. She glared in his direction.

"'Ello Ginerva, 'ow's it been? He asked through his mouthful of apple.
