Synopsis:
A dark haired boy awoke with a start in the middle of the night. It had only been three days since he came home from school, but it already felt like a month. He walked over to the open window, wearing only a pair of old underwear, which were too large for him, to look at the night sky. The cool night air felt good against the burning lighting shaped scar on the boy's forehead. That scar of coarse belonged to Harry Potter. It was around one in the morning but Harry couldn't sleep, since his scar and his mind kept him awake. Hedwig was still out, hunting most likely, leaving Harry with no one to talk to. Since Moody's warning at Kings cross, Harry had become the invisible boy in # 4 Privet Drive. Anytime Harry entered the living room or kitchen, or any other room in the house, no one even acknowledged his presence. The only way Harry knew they that knew he was there was by the decent portion of food the set out for him on the far side of the table at meal times.
Harry just looked up into the sky and stared up at the moon. It seemed far away, like everything else to Harry. After about another hour of motionless staring, a rustle of wings caught his attention. He quickly moved out of the way as Hedwig flew in the window, proudly carrying a dead mouse in her beak. Harry lay back down on the lumpy mattress that was his bed and Hedwig flew over to the table beside his bed. She dropped the mouse on the floor and jumped over to Harry and nipped his ear affectionately.
"Have a good hunt?" Harry asked as he patted her softly.
It was clear Hedwig was trying to cheer Harry up as she hooted softly, making Harry smile for a brief moment. The smile quickly faded thought as his scar had began to burn again. Where ever Voldemort was, he was clearly very angry. But, Harry just didn't care. After everything that had happened; losing Sirius and hearing the prophecy, nothing really felt right. Harry just wanted to let it all go. His anger, his guilt, and everything else that he felt bottled up inside of him. With a big sigh Harry got off the bed and sat at the desk in the corner. It had been three days and he had to write the order to tell them the Drusley's were treating him alright. Not really caring what happened he took out a very small piece of parchment and scribble out his message:
I'm Fine
-Harry
"Hedwig, I have a letter for you."
Hedwig immediately flew over and stuck out her leg. Harry tied the letter to her leg and gave her an Owl treat.
"Take this to the Order, ok?"
Hedwig hooted and flew back out the window into the night. Harry then continued to stare out the window up at the moon for the rest of the night. He watched as the moon got further and further away and the first few glimmers of the sun broke the blue-black night sky. Before Harry knew it the sun had taken its place in the sky, making it morning, and he could already hear Aunt Petunia get out of bed and begin her daily regimen of cleaning, making breakfast, cleaning, making lunch, and more cleaning. Just as he was about to go back to put on some clothes to go down stairs and get breakfast, an owl carrying the daily prophet flew in. Harry walked over to his trunk, pulled out his money pouch and paid the Owl for the paper. Just as he was about to set it down the headline caught his eye and his heart raced upwards into his throat.
