Until the End of Time (Harry Potter x Reader)

"What was that about?" asked Ron.

"Just asking if I was ok after the match," said Harry.

The end of term was 2 weeks away and Christmas cheer was all around the castle.

Classrooms and corridors were decorated with lights and students were discussing their plans for the holidays.

There was a Hogsmeade trip on the last weekend of term. Everyone was excited, well except Harry and Y/N.

"We could do all our Christmas shopping there!" said Hermione. "Mum and Dad would really love those Toothflossing Stringmints from Honeydukes!"

The quartet was eating their breakfast in the Great Hall; well, Y/N wasn't eating anything. She was busy scribbling something down on a piece of paper.

"What're you doing?" said Ron.

"Writing a letter to my parents to tell them I'm not dead," replied Y/N, not looking up from the letter.

"I completely forgot about them if I'm being honest," said Harry.

"Me too. That's why I'm writing this,"   Y/N said, holding up her finished letter.

"What did you say?" asked Hermione.

Y/N dramatically cleared her throat before reading;
"Dear Mum and Dad,
I'm sorry I haven't written to you yet, 3rd Year has just been so busy.
I'm also sorry that I forgot to tell you I was leaving for school early.
You see, my friend, Heather- you know Heather- invited me to spend the last 2 weeks of the summer at her house. Her mum rang the house phone a few times but you never picked up. I think it's broken, you should look into that.
But anyways, I'm fine. I'm at the school you sent me to and I'm fine, I am totally fine.
I've got lots of homework due that I put off so I've got to go do that now but I will see you in the summer.
Ok
Bye
-Y/N"

Y/N finished reading her letter and looked up at her friends.

"It doesn't sound very convincing," said Hermione.

"It's convincing enough for Y/N standards," said Ron. "Also who's Heather?"

"I dunno."

"Would you not have used the name of one of the girls in your old dormitory?" said Hermione.

"If I'm being honest, I've blocked those bitches from my memory. I couldn't remember them even if I wanted to. Now come along Harry, I need Hedwig," Y/N said grabbing Harry's wrist and pulling him away from his bowl of cornflakes.

It was the Saturday morning of the Hogsmeade trip. Harry and Y/N said goodbye to Ron and Hermione before going up the marble staircase back to Gryffindor Tower.

"Do you want to go to the library?" Harry asked, "y'know, to find that book?"

"Oh, me and Hermione already checked. It wasn't there," said Y/N. "We checked the whole library. Even the Restricted Section."

"Who signed your note?" Harry asked.

Y/N looked at him with confusion on her face. "What note?"
