You're alive.

It had been 5 years since the battle of Hogwarts. and the world that night finally got rid of the dark tosser aka voldermort. everyone that was there that night cheered and began shouting he did it he actually did it but when mr potters friends turned round to congratulate Harry but he wasn't there people looked for him high and low but no won saw him or heard from him.

Now we know Harry didn't die that night because we had been sending letters out to him bye his owl hedge wig but everytime the letters got sent they came back unopened that's how we knew he was still alive because if he was dead his owl would have stopped going to give him letters but she hadn't.

We sent a letter out one day hoping that Harry would read it but just like all the others the letter came back empty handed but this time we would get a surprise while everyone including Ron Ginny and Draco were all sitting in hogsmeade when this little Staffordshire bull terrier appeared out of know where clutching a note in its mouth it walked right up to me and put the letter into my lap Ginny was the first to talk…

" go on Hermione I guess the letter is for you strange kind of way to send it tho don't you think "

Ron was the next to talk once he saw the handwriting.

" Hermione I think the letter is from Harry I would recognise the hand writing any where. Go on open it see what he is saying. Let him tell us his reason for leaving in the first place"

I opened the letter which read

Dear Hermione

First I would like to say hello and also apologise for leaving you all in the lurch after the battle at Hogwarts.

I had to have time for my self and to get away from being the boy who lived it was getting unbearable towards the end no one sees me as just plain old Harry they only see the boy who lived but not you.

You saw me for the boy I really was and not some hero as other people saw me and for that I cant thank you enough you're all I ever dream about these days I wasn't sure how to tell you that there is something that I need to tell you but I want to meet at a more relaxed place other than the hogshead if you could send a reply back to this one give it too my dog Hercules and he will take it to me I await you're reply soon

Love Harry James potter

I put the letter down back on the table we were all sitting at and immediately scribbled a replly

Dear Harry

It has been to long we have much to talk about but if you're interested meet me at my house I live in Edinburgh with my mum and dad the now while my house is being repaired.

Oh I like you're dog Hercules he's cute.

Yours faithfully for ever

Hermione Jane granger

Ps. So iam all you can think about how interesting……

When I was finished I put the piece of parchment in Hercules's mouth and the dog turned to walk away and then disaparated.

As usual Ginny was the first to talk

" is it just me or did harrys dog just aparated" Ginny said

I spoke next " but Ginny pets aren't supposed to be able to do that are they Draco Ron you from older wizarding family's have you ever seen anything like this.

Draco spoke next " to be honest Hermione no I haven't there was an old rumour years ago that Harry could do anything he wanted just bye thinking it something along the lines that because Harry grew up away from magic he didn't know that there was things he was supposed to do like surviving the killing curse. back in the forest my mum told me just before the green light hit Harry a barrier jumped up in front of him but instead of the shield stopping the spell it changed it to a stunner don't know how its never been done before I didn't believe her at first but now I think back if Harry wanted a dog to be able to aparated then it properly will "

I took in to consideration what Draco had said and made my thanks for drinks and told the gang that we would meet up again soon then I dissaperated from the café back to Edinburgh.

When I got in my mum was sitting at the kitchen table I could tell that she had something on her mind her face said it all.

It didn't take long for my mother too talk but I had learned that if my mum had something too say I had better listen. It was then that my mother decided to talk..

" Hermione dear we got a letter from a strange little dog today it had a note that was asking if we knew where to get a hold of you when we read the letter we realised that it was from Harry and told him you would be at that café you all used to go to when you were at Hogwarts did he manage to get a hold of you."

I considered what my mum said before I spoke..

" yeah mum he sent us a note the dogs name is Hercules. Harry might be coming to see me soon the only problem is that he doesn't know that he has a 1 and a half year old daughter called lily I haven't got a clue what to say to him or the way I kept it secret for so long he will be angry with me for ages I don't know if I can handle him disappearing again."

My mum gave me the kind of advice I would expect from my mother short but sweet.

" Hermione dear all you can do is tell the truth and hope that he isn't to annoyed with you and anyway why would he be annoyed any way unless there is something that you are not telling me."

It was then that I had to tell my mother the truth about why Harry didn't know about lily.

My parents and everyone else knew that Harry was lily's father but lily cause she was only one and a half and Harry because I used a spell on Harry thinking that he wouldn't want that info when he would be fighting the death eaters soon.

So I put a spell on him to make him forget the night we spent together and the rest is history one could say. Now this is what worries me if I tell Harry will he do a bolt. That night I twisted and turned in my sleep going over in my head how I was going to tell Harry about lily. The one thing that Harry hated above the rest was being lied to he had had enough of that threw his life but I didn't know what I was going to do or say to him after all I hadn't seen him for five years. It was just about then that I heard a tapping on my window I sat up opened the window and harrys owl flew in with a note attached to her leg I carefully took the note and patted Hedwig on the back of the head and she flew right back out of the window I opened the letter to see harrys hand writing…

Dear Hermione…

I am currently sitting in my room in my flat wondering how much ive changed in recent years after all its been 5 years since you've seen me you might not like what you see ive changed Hermione ive done things I wouldn't want to have you hear my life since ive left sometimes been hard on my consciousness a lot of good people died because I was the chosen one people are always going to be looking to take my life because I defeated the dark lord and others are going to attack me for the things that I have done in my time away. Ive also been thinking if I should come back I want too but I think it might be better if I just stayed away look I was going to come tomorrow night too see you I had some things I wanted to tell you in person but some other time I have to go ggod bye Hermione just know that ill love you for ever….

Your's faithfully….Harry James potter

Ps if you need to contact me just swish youre wand in the shape of my lightening bolt…

I put the letter back down on the night stand and started looking around for a piece of parchment and a quil how could harry be considering not coming back to say I was bloody furious was a understatement after I found the things I needed I wrote back a quick short note to Harry…

Dear Harry

I hope that you are bloody well listening to me when I say this if you are bloody not here to see me tomorrow I will hex you in to the new year ive waited to tell you a fe3w things for five years and you bloody well better be around I know you've properly done something's that you aren't none to proud of and in the end you are the only one that can deal with these things but just know this ill be here for you if you ever need to talk please don't run away again I don't know if I could handle not being with you or never seeing you again.. Any way seen as its still really really early iam going back to bed please come Harry we do need to talk just know that I love you with all my heart..

Your's always Hermione Jane granger….

Ps.. You better bloody be here or else..

I read the note over and and did the wand movement and just as if bye magic excuse the pun harrys dog Hercules jumped up on me and kissed my face he took the note from me and disappeared after that I went back too my bed thinking about tomorrow I guess I would have to tell Ginny about Harry coming back and to see if she and Draco could baby sit for me as I think that the first time Harry comes back it should be just me and him with that thought I went to my bed..

The next morning when I woke up I headed down to the kitchen too see my mum and dad to tell them that Harry might be coming that night but when I got there all that I could see was a note on the counter I walked up and picked it up and read all it said was that they would be back that afternoon.

I sat down at the table and had my breakfast and then went up the stairs to wake up lilly I gently rubbed her shoulders to wake her…

" lily dear wake up hunny its time to get up you're going to see aunt Ginny to day and you're spending the night with them "

When lily heard this she jumped up and ran towards the bathroom all excited she was going to be seeing her favourite auntie and her favourite male Draco..

When I got down stairs I was about to throw some floo powder into the fire but my floo opened first and Draco and Ginny came through Ginny was the first to talk…

" Hermione we have to talk too you its about Harry. Draco discovered something about Harry while he was at work at the hospital it seems that Harry has been going there for five years I think Harry is sick all the piece of parchment says is that Harry has been in at least 20 to 30 times in the last five years it doesn't say what exactly is wrong with Harry only that he has been in iam really worried Hermione.."

" me too Hermione I mean me and potter never really got on with each other at school but I don't wont him to die especially after everything he did for my mother the night of the battle at Hogwarts…"

The words that Draco and Ginny said to me really had me worried after everything me and Harry had been through I wont bloody lose him now not bloody now..

It was l8r that day after Ginny and Draco had come over to take lily for the day that I called for Hercules to come for a note for Harry saying I wanted to see him as soon as but this time when I called him he didn't come this time I was getting worried it was then that I heard over the wizard wireless that there had been an attack on gringnots the wizard bank I was really worried that is where Ginny and Draco where going with lily first to get so money and take her for ice-cream just then Ginny Draco and Ron and Luna came through the floo net work.

Ginny had tears in her eyes and Ron and Draco where already getting ready to go back through to go and turn over every rock where former death eaters may or may not be hiding I was the first to talk..

" where's lily Ginny please don't say that the child that they took was my little girl shes 5 years old what can they possibly want with her."

Ron spoke next..

" Hermione calm down they didn't take her for mad reasons it has nothing to do with Harry cause no one else knew that Harry was the father but the strange thing was that just before she was taking somebody just appeared out of no where and started killing all the bad people that was in the bank we saw him heading for lily to try and stop them from taking her but when he nearly reached her they disappeared. Then he turned round look at Ginny and Draco and shook his head and disappeared.."

When I spoke next I had reached boiling point..

" so what you're saying is you haven't got a clue who took lily I bloody knew I shouldn't have let the 2 of you take her out do you realise what's going to happen when I tell Harry that his daughter that he doesn't even know about was abducted he is going to go through the roof and not even voldermort will be able to stop him. Harry was past all that he said to me before that once voldermort was dead he would stop worrying about everyone else and look out for himself this is going to be very very bad when he finds out. Ginny Draco you better go remember Harry wasn't actually friends with you're boy friend and if I don't tell him gently he might think that you're hiding something Ron Luna you might as well go as well oh and another thing Ginny i wont be leaving my daughter in you're care again. if anything happens to her don't ever come back here again. No leave ill find out soon enough if she ok…"

It was about 8.30pm at night when there was a knock on the front door I was starting to get really nervous cause lily still had not been found the aurors and my old friends from the da had been out looking for her but to no prevail all they found at the house where they knew lily had been taken was utter devastation the house had been attacked and my lovely daughter lily was know where to be seen.

As I walked towards the front door of my parents house I was imaging what would be happen when I told Harry that my daughter was missing let alone the daughter he knew nothing about.

When I got to the door I opened it and my mouth was hanging open standing right in front of me was my daughter lily but know Harry I picked my daughter up with tears sterming out of my eyes I shut the door behind me and went back to the living room when I sat her on the couch I asked her what happened she manged to tell me the best way a five year old could.

" mummy a dark haired man rescued me from the bad men and he took me home to mummy and then left I was ever so scared mum the man said it would be ok and not to worry he said that he knew you mum."

I put lily to bed and sat back I sent a few owls out to tell people that she was home and when I was in bed that night I started thinking about what she said about the man that rescued her.

The only person that came into that description was harry why hadn't he stayed with her on the door and why didn't he tell me that he was back in town it kinda woried me as well as all the hospital visits was harry ill did he have something that he didn't want to make me worry about I wish I knew what was wrong he should know that he can come and talk to me…
