Harry was flying in the yard with the twins, chasing the snitch, a few days after the moment of the ring, when Ginny came running enthusiastically into the yard.

"Harry!" She screamed. "Harry! Come down now!"

"Wait! I almost have it!" Said Harry flying behind the snitch.

"I don't care Harry! Hedwig brought a letter from Draco!"

Harry, who had just wrapped his hand around the snitch, stopped abruptly. "I'm coming!" He threw the snitch at Fred and flew to Ginny as fast as he could.

Ginny pushed a beautiful envelope sealed with green wax into his hands. "Open up! Open up!" She squealed enthusiastically.

"Calm down sissy, let him breath." Fred and George said.

The four of them walked in and sat in the living room.

Harry sat across from his three red-haired friends.

"Open it!" Ginny said enthusiastically.

"Alright, alright!" Harry said.

Dear Harry,

I think it's hard that I can't come to you yet too, it's a torture. But like Ron said, it's going to be even better to see each other again. I hate not seeing you, but I can wait. I can always wait for you.

I really feel like doing the prank, I hope it's something Ron screams about as much as when George hid in his closet.

Harry laughed.

"What does he say?" George asked.

"Uh, come here, this doesn't have to read all over the house."

Fred and George got up and read the part of the letter pointing to Harry.

They grinned. "He certainly will." They said.

"Can I see it too?" Ginny asked.

"You have to ask your brothers." Harry said.

"Sorry Gin," Fred said.

"If it works properly, we want to use it." George added.

Harry read on. "Oh, this part is for you Ginny, "Tell Ginny I couldn't wish for a better sister-in-law than her.""

Ginny smiled and turned a little red.

You told Ron! How dare you!? (I knew you were gonna say it, I don't mind.)

Harry chuckled.

Hermione has indeed told me that she is coming a week earlier.

Oh Merlin, I sure would have slapped Ron in the face for that.

Aww, you really miss me that much, huh? I miss you too, it is so difficult not to talk about you to my parents.

You should have seen the look on my parents faces when Hedwig came flying into the dining room for the third time and handed me a letter. I had to hold back so hard not to burst out laughing.

I've been thinking a lot about coming out to my parents these days. I've decided I'm going to tell them in a few days. I'm very nervous, but the idea that I can see you again afterwards and just talk about you at the table gives me the strength to do it anyway.

It's going to be a tough few days for me, but it's worth it.

I'll come over probably two weeks after Hermione arrived. I wish it was sooner, but my dad won't let me (maybe after I come out to him, we'll see). I'll keep you posted if I get there earlier.

I really miss you a lot. I love you.

Your even more desperate and nervous waiting princess,

Draco Lucius Malfoy.

Harry chuckled softly. "He comes two weeks after Hermione arrived."

"That's in about two weeks." George and Fred said.

"That's right." Harry said.

"When is Draco coming?" Ron asked, entering the living room from the kitchen with Arthur and Molly.

"He'll be here in two weeks." Harry replied.

"Okay, then I'll make my treacle tarts then." Molly said.

Harry stood and went upstairs.

"Where are you going?" Ginny asked.

"Upstairs to write an answer to Draco's letter." Harry replied as he ran up the stairs.

Dear Draco,

Very brave of you to tell them. I wish I were with you now to support you, but I hope this helps too.

I hope things are going well and that your parents are taking it well. If anything, you can always come here, okay? But I'm sure it'll be fine.

When you receive this letter, you will probably have already come out to your parents for a long time. How did it go?

I can't wait for you to finally come over.

Hermione is coming tomorrow, so you'll be there in a little over two weeks (I'm counting down, yeah).

Mrs. Weasley is going to prepare her treacle tarts in about two weeks, so they are definitely ready when you come over. Everyone is very excited about arriving soon.

Ron is especially nervous because Hermione is coming tomorrow. It's funny to see him so nervous.

I understand how he feels.

Sigh. How I wish you would come here with Hermione...

I love you, Draco.

Always yours,

Harry James Potter.

Harry went to Hedwig's cage where Hedwig sat quietly brushing her feathers and handed her the letter.

Hedwig looked at him in frustration.

"I'm sorry Hedwig," Harry said. "Draco is coming over soon, okay? You'll no longer have to bring letters."

Hedwig took the letter from him and flew out the window.

Harry looked after her dreamily.
