style='font-family:"Courier New"'>The wind was nearly gale force but Harry
potter did not give a damn. The young man was confused and angry. Anyone who
knew the seeker would know he was upset. This is due to the fact that Harry’s
flight patterns were sporadic at the very best. It had been over a week since
his last confrontation with Draco Malfoy.
style='font-family:"Courier New"'>
style='mso-bidi-font-style:normal'>What
is Draco playing at? He usually has made at least one attempt at revenge by
now. i still don’t
understand why he feels the need to hide the fact that he is gay. I suppose
that might be where our problems started I was not concerned about weather or
not out nighttime trysts were discovered. Draco however feared his fathers
wrath if we were found out.
style='mso-bidi-font-style:normal'>
style='mso-bidi-font-style:normal'>In
light of everything that has happened in the last week professor Snape has
postponed my week of detention with him until further notice. This fact puzzles
me the most, why did he postpone his making me suffer?
style='mso-bidi-font-style:normal'>
style='font-family:"Courier New"'>Realizing that his usual flight around the
quidditch pitch wasn’t helping to clear his head Harry landed his broom and
began walking Hogwarts grounds aimlessly. It wasn’t until Harry felt a determined
nip on his right hand.
style='font-family:"Courier New"'>
style='font-family:"Courier New"'>“Oh Hedwig, I’m sorry I’ve been a bit off
color of la-, Hedwig?!”
style='font-family:"Courier New"'>
style='font-family:"Courier New"'>Terror seized at Harry, as he was petting her
Harry took note of her sickly state; her eyes were sunken and her pupils were dilated
and upon closer inspection the Gryffindor noted patches of thinning feathers.
It was almost as if Hedwig understood her masters worry because she gave a weak
hoot of comfort before she fell from her perch into Harry’s arms…
style='font-family:"Courier New"'>
style='font-family:"Courier New"'>Harry was out of the owlery and down to
Hagrid’s hut in an instant. The game keeper was startled out of applying flesh
eating slug repellant to the school pumpkin patch by a thunderous pounding on
his front door.
style='font-family:"Courier New"'>
style='font-family:"Courier New"'>“This had better be good I am busy!” Hagrid
immediately regretted his impatience when he realized that the nearly bald
unmoving lump in Harry’s arms was the once proud and beautiful snowy owl that
he himself had bought Harry as his first ever birthday present.
style='font-family:"Courier New"'>
style='font-family:"Courier New"'>“Harry what on earth is going on? What’s
wrong with Hedwig?
style='font-family:"Courier New"'>
style='font-family:"Courier New"'>The teenager had to mentally calm himself
before he spoke.
style='font-family:"Courier New"'>
style='font-family:"Courier New"'>I- I don’t know Hagrid she just collapsed in
my arms and you were the only one that I could think of that could help me…
style='font-family:"Courier New"'>
style='font-family:"Courier New"'>Hagrid knew to pick his next words very carefully
he didn’t want to be too hasty with his judgment of the situation before him.
style='font-family:"Courier New"'>
style='font-family:"Courier New"'>“Harry I think I know how you can help
Hedwig; it looks as though she has been poisoned. Do you know anyone who she
trusts enough to take food from that would do this?”
style='font-family:"Courier New"'>
style='mso-bidi-font-style:normal'>No,
even he wouldn’t do this! It is true Hedwig was distrustful at first but over
time she began to trust and even love Draco.
style='mso-bidi-font-style:normal'>
style='font-family:"Courier New"'>The seeker came out of his thoughts with an
idea in mind. Sure it was desperate but Hedwig had trusted his choice in lovers
and now Harry had to do what he could to save her even if it meant swallowing
his pride and begging for help from the one person who would never let him live
it down…
