Chapter Five
A/N: Haha, I almost thought I wouldn't be able to post this chapter tonight since my stupid Wi-Fi wasn't working. But I'm glad I found my power chord. So here you go, chapter five. And as always, I would like to thank all of you who reviewed/favorite/followed this story. You guys are totally awesome.

Dear Harry,
Where are you? No one knows. The twins are trying to find out for Potterwatch, but no one seems to have seen you. Are you okay? Did you get captured? Harry James Potter, I will be so mad if you got yourself captured. I wish there was a way for you to tell me that you were alright. I need that Harry. I need you told hold me, and rub my back, and tell me that things are going to be okay. I'm afraid, Harry. I'm terrified that this war is going to last forever and I will be stuck writing letters that you're never going to read. The list of dead gets longer every day. Did you hear about Ted Tonks? Dora's father? I cried when I heard. Poor Tonks, she must be devastated. And she's pregnant too. Dean's gone missing as well, but so far he hasn't been reported dead yet. That's good news at least. Despite it all, the DA is still going. We've been sneaking out at night, and writing on the walls. Messages saying that we won't back down. "Harry Potter Forever", "Support the Boy-Who-Lived", and, my personal favorite, "Down with the Dark Lord". It's driving the Carrows mad, because they never can catch us. I really do need to thank you for showing me all those secret passageways that you saw on the Marauder's map. They're dead useful. I wish we could have news on you Harry, but I suppose we'll all just have to weather out the storm. After all, what you're doing really can't be classified as a vacation. I'm not sure what you are doing, but it has to do with defeating You-Know-Who. I'm sure of that much at least. Stay safe, love.
All my love,
Ginny

Dear Harry,
Still no news on you. I think that the first years are beginning to lose hope. Me and Neville have been trying to cheer them up, but they are afraid. They never got to meet you, you see, so they don't know why we have so much faith in you. They've mostly been going with it because you are a sign of hope to end the evil inside the school their parents have told them so many wonderful stories about. I feel so sad when I think about that Harry. I grew up hearing stories about Hogwarts from my parents and my brothers, and then I came here and experienced it for myself. I always thought of Hogwarts as my home away from home, and I have memories of that to comfort me when I see how the Carrows are spreading You-Know-Who's fear. But the first years never got to see that. All they've ever known is the prison that school is now. All they know are the terrifying teachers, and the painful detentions, and so much death and terror that's made all the worst by the constant presence of the Dementors outside of the castle. I so hope that the war will end by next year, so that they can see what Hogwarts is truly about. They can see the ghosts scaring the students, houses cheering on their Quidditch teams, Peeves playing pranks, and all the other countless wonderful things there are. But we can tell them the stories Harry. The stories of all of your adventures. Give them something to focus on other than the constant fear. Be safe, and come back soon. We all need you.
All my love,
Ginny
A/N: so there is chapter five. Review and let me know if you like it. And I know it never said exactly when Ted Tonks died, but I'm using creative license to say he died around there somewhere. Chapter six will be up sometime tomorrow. Hope you all enjoyed this. The plot should be moving on more in the next chapter, I think.
