Harry pov

I re-read the letter I wrote.

Dear Snuffles,
Hope you're okay, the first week back here has been terrible,I'm glad it's the weekend.
     We have a new defense against the dark arts professor, her name is umbridge. She's nearly as nice as your mum.
     Something happened when I was in sententious with umbridge and I wanted to tell you about it.
   We are missing our biggest friend, we hope he will be back soon.
Please right back quickly.
Best, Harry.

I then re-read it again and again and again until my eyes felt like I stared at the sun. I hoped Sirius would pick up the hint about Hagrid and tell them when he might be back. As I walked towards the owlery,I saw Nearly Headless Nick.

"I would be careful,if I were you."  He had told me. "Peeves is planning an amusing joke on the next person to pass the bust of Paracelsus halfway down the corridor."

"Does it involve Paracels falling on top of the persons head?" I asked.

"Funnily enough, it does," said Nearly Headless Nick with a bored voice. "Subtlety has never been Peeves's strong point. I am off to try and find the Bloody Baron..he might be able to stop it...See you,Harry..."

"Yeah,' bye," I said and instead of turning right,I turned left and taking the longer but safer route to the owlery.

"I'm not doing anything wrong," I said when Mrs.  Norris stared at me for a few seconds and walked away.

"Get down here,I have a letter for you." I said to Hedwig.

She stretched her white wings and soared down onto my shoulder.

"I know this says snuffles on the outside ," I said to her, giving her the letter to clasp in her beak and without knowing exactly why, whispering,"but it is for Sirius, okay?"

She blinked to say she understood.
"safe flight,then."I said we brought her to the window, and Hedwig took off to the sky.

The door opened and I leapt up in shock, I turned to see cho.

"Hi," I said automatically.

"Oh...hi,"she said breathlessly. "I didn't think anyone would be up here this early..I only remembered five minutes ago,it's my mum's birthday."

"Uh..right." I said embarrassed."nice day,"

"Yeah," said cho,"good quidditch conditions.I haven't been out all week,have you?"

"No,"

"Has Gryffindor got a new keeper yet?" She asked.

"Yes,"I said."My friend Ron Weasley, you know him?"

"The tornado-hater?" Said Cho,"is he any good?"

"Yeah,"I said,"I mean I think so,I didn't watch his tryouts,I had detention."

"That Umbridge woman is foul," cho said in a low voice, "putting you in detention because you told the truth, about Amelia. Everyone heard about it, you were really brave standing up to her like that."

'Well I am a Gryffindor' is what I wanted to say to her, obviously being sarcastic.

Filch came wheezing into the room.

"Aha!I had a tip off that you were intending to make a massive order for Dungbombs!"

I folded my arms,"who told you that?"
