Post 47

I had wakened earlier than expected the morning after the party. I lay in bed until I just had to get up. I looked around at the pigsty of a room. Well, I am a teenager. I started picking up random socks and other items of clothing off the red carpet. I pulled out my trunk and sat it in front of the window and I packed away the little unnecessary things I never really need for school. I knew the next week would be easy and carefree, but most of all, a time where we could all enjoy ourselves. In the distance the hills seemed to have gone from a snow covered blanket of white, to a bright, vibrant, plush green where the shadows of the clouds were seen to drift along the top. The Black Lake was a more friendly blue colour as it reflected the sky. I smiled at my surroundings. How I missed home!
I slipped on a red tee-shirt and denim shorts then proceeded to the living room.
I gasped at the sight before me. “Hermione, you look like death.”
She grunted. “I feel like it too.”
“Did you have fun last night?” I asked her in all seriousness.
“Um, I think so.”
“Well, that’s the main thing!” I told her. She replied with a grunt and I laughed. “Where is Ron?”
“Breakfast.” She replied sipping from her mug.
“And Harry?”
“I don’t know, bed I think.” I huffed loudly at her attitude and opened Harry’s door quietly.
He wasn’t there. His bed was empty and un slept in. I looked in his bathroom, again empty.
“Hermione, where is Harry?” I shouted, worried.
“Shh…don’t shout,” she moaned quietly. “I don’t know.”
I went everywhere, The Hall, the Gryffindor Common room, old dorm. No-one had seen him.
I ran out of the hall for the second time and bumped straight into Neville.
“Are you ok Ginny?” He asked worried.
“I don’t know. I can’t find Harry. I don’t think he came back to the dorm last night. You haven’t seen him have you?”
“Come to think of it, last night long after you’d both left I seen him out. He was walking in the direction of Dumbledore’s office. Hmm… I don’t know why though.”
I breathed a sigh of relief knowing he’d be safe if he was with the headmaster. “Thanks Neville. I’ll catch you later, Kay?”
“Sure thing, see you Ginny.”
I wasn’t too sure what to do next. I didn’t want to disturb them if they were busy. It couldn’t have been too important either otherwise Harry would have said something.
I wondered aimlessly around the castle and noticed Professor McGonagll leaving a classroom. “Proffessor?” I called after her. She turned around and smiled. “Yes Miss Weasley?”
“Sorry to bother you, but have you seen Harry anywhere?”
Her smile faded and her eyebrows came together as she thought. “He’s away with Proffessor Dumbledore. I understand why he wouldn’t say anything. He should be back no later than tomorrow night.” And she walked away.
It bothered me the way she didn’t say anything else. Why did she understand why Harry didn’t tell me where they were going?

I spoke to Ron and Hermione who were equally as shocked as me. It wasn’t like Harry to just take off like he did. But Ron and Hermione didn’t have the look of wonder that I had. They looked worried and scared every time I said Harry’s name. They were keeping something from me. I just knew it!
But without Harry as a distraction, and Ron and Hermione keeping themselves busy with last minuet head boy and girl things, I had plenty of time to sort myself for going home. By the time I had finished, my room was spotless and my trunk was half full. I had left myself out a weeks’ worth of clothes, so I was pretty organised.
I lay on my bed and twirled my hair around my fingers, playing with the split ends. I let my mind think to what awaited me when I went home: Rome, A full summer with Harry, two weeks at the Holyhead Harpies summer training school…Pure, utter brilliance. I couldn’t wait. I grinned to myself hoping the last week of school would be as quick as possible. Plus I missed my mum and dad. I had much to tell them.





Ok guys, this was quite short but my last post was exceptionally long. I have no idea when I will post again cause exams start on the 5th of May and go right through till the start of June and I really haven't been studying enough so if you don't see me around as often or I miss posts on your FF, it doesn't mean I've stopped reading your story, it just means I'll be doing chemistry instead.
I know nothing really happend in this post, but the next one is where things get good and a bit better...
Thanks guys,
Soph xx
