I was sitting in the compartment with Hermione and Luna sitting around me like usual since we have separated form Ron. Today was the day that we were finally going to get out of here with Remus so we didn't have to deal with Dumbledore or the Weasleys anymore. Here let me explain to you why this is needed... Luna her father was abusing her physically and sexually for years now and let other people join in, sometimes even Dumbledore. Hermione's parents were giving her an arranged marriage to Ron Weasley who was so far only verbally abusive towards her but once they are married there is nothing stopping anything more. As for me well I was abused by the Dursleys verbally and physically for years now and Dumbledore hasn't done anything. We all found comfort in each others hardships and formed a close romantic relationship.
"Harry what are you thinking about?" Luna asks quietly while laying her head down on my shoulder.
"I am just thinking on what brought us all together and why we are leaving this life." I say and she snuggles into me further and I lightly kiss the top of her head. "It is over now Luna you don't need to worry about that anymore." I say and I feel her nod before turning to Hermione who is of course reading. "Hermione Love, stop reading that is all you ever do. It is the first day of break." I say and she slowly closes her book and looks over at me. "Come here." I say while patting the stop directly next to me and does what I say and I wrap an arm around her. "My little otter you need relax." I continue and she giggles a little.
"Where are we going once we get off the train?" Hermione asks and I smile a little.
"I have no idea all I know is that it belonged to my family and that Remus is taking us there, but will have to leave as soon as he drops us off because Dumbledore will probably get word that we didn't show up where we were suppose to."
"Alright, I trust you." She says while laying her head on my other shoulder like Luna was.
We spent the rest of the train ride in a comfortable silence and we soon got off, grabbing our stuff as we went. We made it over to where Remus was waiting and we quickly left for the car.
"Harry it is good to see you, how are you?" Remus finally asks after we get into the muggle car and we start driving away.
"I am fine, even better now that I am away from Dumbledore, the Weasleys and the Dursleys."
"What about you Hermione, Luna how are you both?" Remus asks while looking in the rearview mirror at all of us.
"I am fine even better that I am away from everybody and that Harry and Luna are here." Hermione says while grabbing my hand and giving it a light squeeze.
"Nearly anything would be better then where I came from." Luna says with a shudder and I loop my arm around her shoulder and pull her close.
"Shh Luna it is over and it is ok." I whisper into her ear before kissing her on the cheek. "So where are we going Remus?"
"We are going to your family mansion, it is heavily warded and everybody thinks that it was destroyed during the first wizarding war. Even outsiders that we don't want to see in will think that the mansion is in rein because of a powerful illusion charm." Remus says and we all nod. "I wish that I could stay though to show you around but the house elves and butler will have to do it. I am sure that Dumbledore will be furious when you don't show up where you are suppose to."
"It is fine Remus, and thank you so much for doing this for us." Hermione says with a smile on her face.
"It is my pleasure, you all shouldn't have had to last this long in those situations anyways. I am sorry that you did."
"It is alright, we are fine now." I say and everybody nods there heads.
"Alright well I would take a nap if I were you, we still have about 2 hours until we reach the house." Remus says and we all nod and fall asleep.
We woke up 2 hours later to Remus calling our names and when we opened our eyes we saw a huge mansion with sprawling land from as far as we could see in every direction. We pull up to the house where there is some people already standing outside the door waiting for us and we get out of the car.
"Welcome to Potter Manor." Say a man wearing a black suit with a white shirt and a bow tie. "I am Michael and this is Melinda along with Harmony, Rose, Rodger, Edward, Alexandria and Marcus." Michael says while motioning to each of the people in turn. Melinda looks to be about the same age as Michael maybe in there early 50's with dark brown hair that has started to turn grey showing her age but she was wearing a black dress that reached her knees and had sleeves that went just past the shoulder. Harmony was a chestnut blonde with hair that flowed just past her shoulders which was pulled up into a high ponytail looking like she was in her late 20's, she was wearing the same thing as Melinda. Rose looked about 20 had strawberry blonde hair that went down to her elbows but wasn't pulled back, her outfit was also black but flowed just past her knees but had the same sleeves as the others. Rodger and Edward were both lightly blonde maybe in their late 20's early 30's, you could tell by there looks that they were related either brothers or close cousins. Alexandria looked to be in her early 40's with long dark brown almost black hair that went only just past her ears, she wore a dress that went down to the middle of her shins and sleeves that went down to her elbows. Lastly there was the man that was introduced as Marcus, he looked around the same age as Alexandria and was wearing the same thing as Michael, Roger and Edward.
"Welcome to Potter Manor." The people say all at the same time while giving small bows.
"Come, I will show you around the house then to your rooms." Michael says and we all nod before following him through the large double door entrance into a large entrance hall. The hall itself reminded me of Hogwarts, it was all made of stone with ceilings that must have been at least 20 feet tall. The walls were adorned with mirrors and painting that would move with the different sense in the paintings. We continues walking and soon made our way into the living room that was 2x the size of the entrance hall and had ceilings probably 40 feet tall. The room was warm and inviting with a fire place on each side on the room with large couches surrounding them, the walls were covered in book cases besides the wall right in front of us that lead outside, that wall was almost all windows besides the French doors that lead outside.
"To the right there is the kitchen, library, 2 offices, another sitting room a dining room and a courtyard. To the left there are all the rooms from the guest rooms on the first floor to the living quarters of the family on the seconds floor along with another courtyard." Michael says while taking our attention off of the living room. "I will show you to the right wing first before showing you to the left wing." He says and starts walking to the left and we all follow walk into the first office which was made out of all dark woods with a large painting of one of our ancestors over the fireplace. Next we made it to the kitchen which was larger then 4 of the Dursley's kitchen, everything looked brand new and had light wood floors with light cabinets and granite counter tops. "This is where you will come for most of your meals unless you prefer the larger setting of the dining room." He says and we all nod before walking out of the kitchen and into the library. The library was a who different matter it looked to be twice the size as Hogwart's library and had books stacked all the way up the 20 feet tall ceilings. From behind me and next to Harry I heard a squeal and I turn and see Hermione almost jumping up and down in excitement.
"I don't think we will ever get her out of here." I mutter to Luna who nods her head giggles.
"I agree with you there." She says while lightly kissing my check.
"Oh well at least we will always be able to find her in the huge place." I say as we walk out of the library and into the next room which was the second office.
"Now I will show the guests there rooms first, then I will show you to the family rooms." Michael says before walking down the hall towards the left wing. The first room and we came to turned out to be Remus's since he was a boy so he would continue staying in that room. The room across the hall and a few doors down was Luna's room which was decorated like the Ravenclaw rooms, or at least that is what Luna said. Next to Luna's room was Hermione's room whose was exactly like Luna's but her room was all red and gold.
After we had seen the other court yard we made it up the stairs into the family living area. In the middle of the hall was my room on the left of the longs hallway. When I walked into mine I saw that it was about 2x the size of the Gryffindor dorm rooms which were already quite large. My room was decorated with gold walls with hard wood floors that was a light wood. There was a small sitting area in my room with a few book shelves. The bed was a king sized with 4 posts and a deep red comforter with black lace covering the blue around the edges. There was a connected full bathroom just like all the other rooms.
"All your stuff will be unpacked in a couple of moments by the house elves, I am sure that you are all hungry so I will escort you all to the kitchen." Michael says before leading us all out of the room and we follow him. When we are finally done eating we go back to the living room and sit down with Hermione and Luna tightly curled up around me.
"Harry, how will this work out?" Luna asks in almost a whisper tone.
"What do you mean?" I ask while slightly moving my head to look down at her.
"We mean, how are things going to work out between the 3 of us. If we are all in for the long run..." Hermione explains and I nod.
"I don't know but what I do know is that it is going to work out in the end and there is nothing to worry about now." I say and they both slightly nod. "You both don't have to completely believe me but you all should."
"We do Harry, we just don't know how it is going to work out." Luna says.
"Just leave that up to me, let me worry about all of those things you don't need to worry about that while I am here." I say and they slowly nod there heads again. "Alright? Well I think that we should turn in for the night, don't you?" I ask and they look sadly at me.
"Why? You want to leave us?" Hermione asks in a sad tone.
"Who said that either of you would be leaving my side tonight?" I asks and they both look amused.
"Well I don't think that your butler would be happy about that." Hermione says and I roll my eyes.
"It isn't their choice now is it, come on." I say and stand up, holding my hands out to each of them and they both smile and take them. We start walking up the stairs and into my room where we all lay down on the bed. "Just remember that I love you both and nothing can change that." I say before kissing them both on the lips.
"We can never forget it because we love you both also." Luna and Hermione says at the same time which causes us all to laugh.
"Well then why don't we show each other how much we do?" Hermione asks while looking at both of us and we all nod and the fun begins. But through out the whole thing it seems like there is something missing.
