y/n's pov

I was currently petting Hedwig and Amica. Hedwig had just dropped off a letter and was waiting for me to write back. The letter read:

Dear y/n,

How's your summer been? I know you can't visit me as often because of your top secret research, but I really could use a visit this week at least once. Aunt Marge is coming and so is one of her ugly ass dogs. Please y/n. Hope I see you soon babe! Love, 

Harry Xx

Me being me, I decided to give him a surprise when I visited him. I know he can't get many things from the wizarding world or do his homework. As the brilliant best friend I am I did his homework and convinced my mom to let me get some sweets from Hogsmeade. I tried to mimic Harry's handwriting as best as I could. I finished my letter and it read:

Dear Harry,

My summer's been pretty stressful. I can't tell you what I'm researching or doing. Even though you didn't ask, I know you. I know you want to know what's happening. I promise you, I'm safe and you don't have to worry. I plan on stopping by on Monday to make sure you don't go mad with that aunt of yours. See you soon babe! Love,

y/n Xx

I tied the letter to Hedwig and pet her one last time before she took off to number 4, Privet Drive. Now, you're probably wondering why I'm so messed up this summer. Last summer a house elf stole my broom so obviously I couldn't visit him. This summer, I'm already starting my training as an auror. Dumbledore is positive that I'm ready for it, so I have Nymphadora to help me. She hates her name so I call her Nini while others call her Tonks. I look up to her like a sister and she treats me like one too. I also recently found out I'm a metamorphmagus which means I can change my appearance, just like Nini.

I keep rewatching the video clip of Sirius Black's murder that Nini gave me. But it doesn't make any sense. In the mist of the cloud Pettigrew is in you can see him cutting off his finger and turning into a rat. He must be an animagus. I honestly don't know if he's registered or not but that's not the point. I just figured out that Black is innocent. I'm definitely making another bet this year.

I found a book about the Hades family tree. I found a certain chapter that intrigued me. How to bring back the dead. You need the body of the person you want to bring back. The soul from the Hades Cavern. And immortality to swim through it. I have all these things. Well, for Harry's birthday surprise. Or Christmas. Either way I'm sure it'll make him happy. I plan on bringing his parents back from the dead. As long as I have their bodies, I can bring them back.

I heard a weird noise come from the forest behind the cottage. I got out of bed to check what it was. It was a lion. On the brink of the forest. Then it turned into something really small. I looked closer and it was the salamander that always climbed my window. I picked him up and looked him in the eyes. I don't know why but I always saw my dad in them. "Sal, please tell me you weren't the lion and I'm just sleep deprived," I begged. Then I realized I'm begging a salamander to talk. "Wow. I really am sleep deprived." I brought Sal inside holding onto my pendant and rose necklace. The pendant is longer than the rose so they compliment each other nicely.

"Y/n? N/n! I'm bored!" came Harry's voice in the pendant I was admiring. "Well I'm sleep deprived! I thought I just saw Sal as a lion!" I responded a little snappy. "Sorry, sorry. Do you think you could come by sooner?" he asked me desperately. "Fine. I'll be there in a 20 minutes, but when I get there we will be sleeping," I compromised. "I'll take what I can get. Bye princess!" Harry said. "Bye babe," I returned smiling. I loved the nicknames he gave me. They were always really funny. My favorite one is when he calls me Little Red. Ever since I found out I was a metamorphmagus I started to add red streaks in my hair. He called me little because I was shorter than him.

I grabbed my broom and decided to have a little fun with this. I turned my hair red like the Weasleys and short like Ron's. I changed my appearance to look exactly like Ron. I flew by Harry's window and he opened it in surprise. "Hey Ron! I wasn't expecting you! Not that I don't want-" I cut him off. "It's all good mate. I've come to rescue you for a couple of hours!" I said as Ron. "Well I was waiting for-" I cut him off again. "Y/n sent me. She flooed to my house and told me she couldn't keep her eyes open for any longer. She told me you were expecting her so she asked me to come instead," I explained as Ron. Harry nodded and I made room for him. He was being really awkward sharing a broom with his best mate it was so strange. 

I flew us to my cottage and entered through my window. "I thought you said y/n was asleep," Harry exclaimed looking quite sad. Harry kept looking at the bed waiting for something to appear. "Ok, I know you're a wizard and all, but just staring doesn't make me appear!" I teased as me now. "You've got to stop doing that!" Harry yelled playfully. I lay down on my bed and start to drift off. Before I drift off someone pulls me close to them, hands on my waist, and whispers, "I love you, y/n Gryffindor."
