It had taken him nearly a day to come up with it.
Plan B. And like all good plans, it had stages and strategy. Harry was quite proud of it actually. Though, after a few days, Hedwig would probably claw his eyes out while he slept...
He watched her fly off, once again. This time she held an envelope in her claws. An envelope containing Stage One. No letter, no plea from him, nothing but a simple photograph he'd held on to for nearly a decade now. A photograph of which he had no copy. A photograph he trusted Hermione wouldn't destroy. She couldn't any more than he could walk away from her or their friendship. He knew that much. She may hate him for it, but he trusted that as important as it was to him...it still held some importance to her too. He depended on it.
