DEVILS SNARE

THE BURROW - YEAR 4

Lena Black jolted awake that morning. A slight breeze drifting through the open window, whistling slightly, carried the smell of the bakery down the road right to her nose, relaxing her before she remembered why she woke so suddenly.

It was a nightmare.

She had been having them recently and they all ended the same. A cloud in the sky forming a skull with a snake wrapping around it. The dark mark, the reason her father is dead. It still sends shivers down her spine.

The dream occurred in a place she did not recognise, but it seemed to be burnt.

Lena then got up, looked around to find the letter her friend Ron had sent her a week prior, and the letter Harry sent a couple days ago.

Ron Weasley was one of three of her best friends her others being Hermione Granger and Harry Potter, the boy who lived.

Ron had six siblings all with the same ginger hair and freckles. They had met in their first year in line to get sorted. Ron too came from a wizarding family so they bonded over quidditch, magical food and their fascination of muggles.

Hermione Granger is the brightest witch of her age according to almost every professor at Hogwarts (excluding Professor Snape) and her first friend at Hogwarts. Hermione has bushy brown hair and you'll never see her without a book in her hand.

Harry Potter was her last close friend. When they first met, she hadn't recognised him until Ron told her he was the famous boy who lived. Harry has raven hair, round glasses and an unmistakable lightning bolt scar.

Beaming brightly, she took herself out of her thoughts about her friends and picked up the letter she had got up to find.

Lena - MY DAD GOT THE TICKETS!!!

Ireland vs Bulgaria, Monday night. My mum has already wrote to yours, so your allowed to come with us we sent it last night and it turns out Pig is faster than I thought!

Floo to us Sunday at 12 and bring enough clothes for the rest of the summer, although I'm sure Ginny would let you share hers, I swear she likes you more than I do!

Mione's getting here on Sunday around the same time as you, and we'll get Harry from the muggles at 5.

See you soon - Ron

(ps: give some food to Pig so she doesn't die of starvation halfway back!)

Then she went to get the letter from Harry.

lena,

I'm missing you and Hogwarts more than you could imagine. The muggles are no different but it's getting more unbearable every year.

No surprise there.

I'm sure you got a letter off Ron as well about the World Cup. And if you haven't I'm sorry I ruined the surprise. Is Sirius still with you, if so could you ask him if he's got my letter yet? Thanks. I can't wait till I next see you. My uncle is coming now, I've got to go. I will write to you again soon. I promise.

Forever and Always,

Love Harry

Love Harry, she repeated in her head. Her cheeks started to redden before she put the letter down, shaking away those thoughts.
