It was a week later when Eleanor finally got a reply. Honestly, when Eleanor saw Hedwig flying towards her bedroom, her heart leapt in relief.

The last week was madness for Eleanor. It was a lot of pacing back and forth, and stressing. She didn't know what to do with herself. She was mad with worry. She wasn't sleeping. And many a times she pondered the thought of actually going to the Dursleys and demanding for Harry to come out of the house to talk to her.

She really wanted to do that and lots of times she left the house in preparation to do it. What stopped her? Fear.

Eleanor knew Harry wasn't okay. He was dealing with a lot of stress and from the previous letters, Eleanor knew Harry wasn't looking after himself properly. Eleanor was very scared that something had happened to Harry and she was scared that if she knocked on the Dursleys door that Harry wouldn't make an appearance. She was scared that Harry hadn't made it back from school at all.

That thought struck her multiple times and although she told herself Harry would never do that, that he had plenty of friends to help him through these tough times, it still crept into the front of her mind like a parasite, attacking her when she least expected it.

She couldn't count the times that she had had a nightmare that she went to the Dursleys house and asked about Harry, only for Vernon to give her a very sadistic smirk and tell her that Harry was no longer around. It sent a shiver down her spine.

So when Eleanor finally got a reply, she was unashamed to say she cried with relief. The letter wasn't much but it was something...it was proof.

Next week. 2:30. At the park.

Harry.

(I absolutely love the Harry Potter series but Harry's mental health is never mentioned once and for someone to go through all that, it would take a serious toll on their mental health so that's why I'm mentioning it so much because honestly, none of the teachers at Hogwarts checked in on Harry, although they knew what he was going through, so I'm giving him some one who will make sure he's okay.)
