YR 5 ☆•°~'* 04

❈🌠➵9¾♌ ⚯ 🗲━━━━━★. *･｡ﾟ✧⁺

Y/N woke up the next morning to a loud tap, tap on the window. She opened her eyes lazily and could make out Artemis' form through the grimy window pane. Y/N shot up from bed and opened the window, allowing the owl to hop inside. 

He stuck out his leg where a tightly bound scroll was tied. Y/N took it from him and unrolled it nervously.

Y/N,

I'm glad you're all right. I don't know why you all decided to leave me here alone, but I hope your promise holds up because I'm sick of being locked up in this place with no idea of what's going on. 

Harry

It was just as Y/N had expected it. Harry was, indeed, beyond pissed off. She read the letter over and over again, feeling guiltier than ever. 

He didn't even give Y/N his love. It was terrible.

There was a knock on the door and Hermione's voice was heard from the other side.

'Y/N? Are you awake?'

'Yeah, come in,' said Y/N.

Hermione entered the room and sat on Y/N's bed. 

'Mrs Weasley said breakfast is ready,' said Hermione.

'I'm not hungry,' said Y/N. She lied on her bed, letter still clutched in hand and staring at the ceiling.

Hermione frowned slightly at Y/N's behaviour then she saw the piece of parchment Y/N was holding. 

'Is that from-?'

'Harry, yeah,' mumbled Y/N, and she gave the letter to Hermione.

She read the letter, her eyebrows furrowing gradually. Then she looked back at Y/N, who was still gazing unseeingly at the peeling paint of the ceiling. 

'He hates me,' said Y/N miserably.

'What are you on about?' Hermione scoffed. 'He said "I'm glad you're all right"...'

'He didn't write "Love, Harry",' said Y/N. 'He always writes that in his letters to me.'

'I don't think that really means anything,' said Hermione slowly. 'Maybe he just forgot.'

Y/N let out a heavy sigh and turned to face the wall on her bed. Hermione rolled her eyes and shook her head.

'You're so dramatic,' she said, getting up. 'Come on, come eat.'

'I'm not hungry,' Y/N repeated.

Hermione stayed silent for a moment, then she said, 'I heard the Order members talking about getting Harry today-'

Y/N sat bolt upright, her eyes wide. 'Really?'

'Yeah,' said Hermione, a bit over-enthusiastic.

Y/N's mood changed faster than you can say 'Lumos', and she got up and strolled happily to the bathroom to get ready for the day. Hermione chuckled and left the room.

Once in the kitchen, Y/N ate breakfast with the Weasleys, Sirius, Remus and Tonks, talking happily to everyone.

'Someone's in a good mood,' said Sirius.

Y/N nodded and shoved a fat piece of pancake into her mouth. ''En ah ou ge'iin A'y to'ay?'

'Sorry?' said Sirius.
