hard to love

"Happy Birthday."

Summer was extra boring. My mom & Dad both work for the Ministry of Magic, so they were gone most of the summer, leaving me at home, rotting of boredom.

I had already asked them about staying at Ron's. They both agreed. My parents also knew about me & Harrys relationship, accidentally.

Harry's owl, Hedwig, had flown into my parents room, & not mine. My Father read the letter, and was upset at first because I never told them, but in the end, both of them were pretty happy, surprisingly. Mom said it's good I found someone "Well known" & same for Father.

It was currently August 10th. Tommorow was my birthday.

I got 1 letter from the last person I'd expect to write to me, Malfoy.

Malfoy wrote a short paragraph about Hogwarts next year. He talked about how he wanted to become better friends this year, & how he was sorry for ever making fun of me.

I put the letter back on my desk and grabbed a roll of parchment. I grabbed my quill and started writing.

Malfoy,

    Since when do you want to become friends with me? I thought you hated me. This is Draco I'm talking to, Right?

                                                        ~ Y/n

I set my quill down and grabbed the parchment. I walked over to my Owl, Bean, and  unlocked her cage. Her brown, beautiful wings flew over to my bed and she rested on the bedpost.

I handed my letter to Bean. "Bring this to Draco Malfoy, please."

Bean flapped her wings and got up from the bedpost.

I flipped down on my bed with a sigh.

Why did Draco want to become friends with me?

My thoughts got interrupted by a loud bang.

I looked towards my window. 2 Owls, Bean And Hedwig, had crashed into each other. Hedwig got up and ruffled her feathers, and flew towards me, and dropped a letter to my side.

I stroked Hedwig. "Good Girl."

I grabbed the letter Hedwig dropped and ripped it open.

Y/n,

       This is probably the last letter I'll write to you, my aunt & Uncle are putting bars over my window right now, so I won't be able to Write to anyone. I miss you, I can't wait to see you when we get to Ron's, I don't know if I'm even coming, my aunt & Uncle don't even want me to go to Hogwarts!  Everything that goes wrong in that house they blame it on me, I haven't eaten in a while, there basically starving me. Also, if this gets to you, Happy Birthday, I love you, & Wish me luck,

                                                        Love,
                                                           Harry

I set the letter down. They were starving him? I had to write to Ron, and tell him what's going on.

Once again, I rushed to my desk and grabbed my quill.

  Ron,

      I don't know if Harry told you, but he's in trouble, his aunt & Uncle are practically starving him. Can you bring him to your house? Somehow? & me too? It's really boring & lonely in this house, I wish I had as many siblings as you...

                                                                Love,                  
                                                                     Y/n

I rolled up the parchment & walked over to Hedwig. I fed her and let her have water. I gave Hedwig the letter. "Bring this to Ronald Weasley, Okay?"

Hedwig took the letter in her mouth & flew out the window, and into the daylight.

Ron's pov

I was currently in my room, reading a book Hermione gave me at the end of the year, which was pretty boring, until I heard a scratch on my window.

It was Harry's owl, Hedwig.

I took the letter from the creature and ripped it open.

All of a sudden Fred & George bursted in.

"Getting letters from your girlfriend are you?" Fred mocked.

"No." I hissed. "But I do need your help."

"What is it?" Fred & George said in unison.

"Harry's being starved. We have to go to his house and get him, and bring Y/n along the way." I informed.

"That boys already skinny enough." Said George. "I say we go get him."

"I'm in." Fred Agreed.

"Great, but how do we get there?" I asked.

Fred and George both exchanged a smirk.

"Are you thinking what I'm thinking..."

Y/n's Pov

I snapped my eyes open to hear the sound of knocking at my window.

"What the hell?" I yawned.

I rubbed my eyes to see what was at my window.

Fred? George? Ron?!

I ran to my window and opened it up.

I now just realized that they were all in a blue, flying car, hovering over my window.

"Get your trunk!" Fred hissed.

I have been waiting for this day, I already had my bag packed.

I yanked my huge trunk and handed it to Fred and George who threw it in the back seat. 

"Get in!" Ron beamed.

I crawled out of my window and jumped in the backseat, shared by Fred.

"Why Hello, Y/n." Fred smirked.

"Why Hello Fred." I echoed sarcastically.

"How was your summer?"

"Pretty boring, it's boring being alone." I explained.

"What a shame, if I was with you, you'd be having the time of your life." Fred boasted.

Ron turned around in the passengers seat. "Shes got a boyfriend you know." He hissed.

"Oh, really, who?" Fred asked.

"Harry." I said.

"Harry Potter?! The boy who lived with nothing but a scar?!" Fred & George both said sarcastically.

"That's the one." I played along.

Ron turned around. "Oh & by the way, Y/n, Happy Birthday."
