Harry hated the fact that Cedric had died and he had been hidden away, Fudge being the annoying piss ant that he was refused to believe that Voldemort could possibly have come back and that Harry and Dumbledore must have been lying. Harry knew that fudge was ignorant but Harry didn't think that the man could be that fucking stupid after all Harry' wand didn't have the killing curse on it so therefore someone had to have killed Cedric. Dumbledore and Amelia Bones had checked his wand on separate occasions both in front of Fudge and proved that Harry hadn't killed Cedric.
Dumbledore had decided to help Harry by promising him help this year with Voldemort being back, Harry was yet to learn what the headmaster meant but Harry knew that it would be big for the headmaster to claim that it would influence the war a lot.
16 year old Rose Tyler hated her mum's family, they never let her talk about her dad, as they didn't want to upset her mum and when they did talk about her dad it was never anything nice. So the man wasn't the smartest in the world and some of his ideas didn't plan out? Whose did in the perfect world.
Yet every summer her mum Jackie packed them both up and took them to Surrey for the summer, she hated it, all of the boys where rude and piggish, the worst was one called Dursley, she had broken his nose twice when he had tried to cop a feel but she had taken self defence classes since she was 10, she went to a mixed secondary school and wanted to end up with some actual qualifications and her virginity intact at the end of it.
The only one saving grace for her was the neighbourhood criminal so to speak. Harry Potter, Harry supposedly went to this school for criminal boys but when Rose had talked to him he was just a really nice, sweet guy, he had even stood up to Dursley for her once god knows why the fat little bastard was scared of a stick but he was anyway.
Rose was currently sitting on the garden wall waiting for Harry, he normally came out to put the bins out around 7am and none of Rose' family where awake right now other than Jackie who had told her to be careful around Harry but seen as how her daughter was well versed in self defence if Harry had wanted to hurt her but Rose had told her mother time and time again Harry was just a nice boy who was a year younger than her.
Harry walked out of his house and put the bin on the curb and was tackled by Rose as she hugged him tightly around the waist.
"Hi Harry," she said with a slight smile."
"Rosie," he teased he had known Rose since he was 12 and she was 13 ironically it was just a week after Harry had saved the philosopher stone that he had met Rose for the first time, the blonde girl who was the reason why Harry wanted to go back to privet drive every year after the summer of first year just for the chance of bumping into Rose.
She had obviously changed in the past year, she was taller and looked more like a woman than a girl now, she had more womanly curves, much more than Ginny and Hermione who where the first two girls that came into his mind as they were the two girls he was closest to other than Rose after all Hermione was his best friend and Ginny was Ron' little sister so whenever he went to Ron' house she was there.
"How have you been Harry?" Rose asked "how was school?"
"Truthfully?" Harry asked "crap, one of the older boys was murdered,"
"Wow," Rose said "do they know who did it?"
"A guy that helped kill my parents," Harry said softly and Rose pulled him into a tight hug. Then over Harry' shoulder she could see Harry' aunt in the living room and let go of Harry like she had been burnt.
"You should go," she said "your aunt is waiting for you,"
"Will you wait for me?" Harry asked "later?"
"Always," Rose said confidently and Harry went back inside.
Around 7 o'clock that afternoon Harry had finished with his chores, he went outside and was surprised to see Rose still waiting for him, she had gotten changed and had tied her hair back into a ponytail and was wearing a union jack t shirt.
"Hey," Harry said hopping up onto the wall "what are we doing today?"
"We could walk down to the park," Rose said "I doubt that there would be any other kids there, I mean with that new amusement park around the corner from here now I haven't seen anyone at the park."
"Ok," Harry said and they set off together walking towards the park, under the bridge towards the park when it became very cold.
"Wow," Rose said "it is really cold," Harry nodded but he knew that it was a Dementor and quickly grabbed Rose' hand and pulled her behind him
"Get ready to run." Harry said and she nodded and as she turned to run Harry saw the Dementor gliding towards them and began walking away from the Dementor.
Rose then turned and ran and as she turned the corner Harry pointed his wand and said
"Expecto patronum." Then Harry' stag burst out of his wand and chased the Dementor away and Harry turned and ran after Rose with his wand in his hand he found Rose cowering by the wall on the entrance to the cul de sac.
"Are you ok?" Harry asked pulling her into a hug.
"What the hell was that?" Rose asked looking up at him with tears in her eyes.
"Truthfully?" Harry said "I don't know,"
Rose nodded and lead Harry back to her aunt's house.
"So are you ok?" Harry asked her and she nodded
"I will see you tomorrow ok?" Rose asked "we will do something else ok?"
"Ok," Harry said
"Or," Rose said "you could come in to my room if you want?"
"What about your aunt and family?" Harry asked
"We can use the window way in," Rose said it was like something so easy that Harry was an idiot for not realising it.
Rose lead Harry up the garden rope that she had put there to escape the house and into her room where they sat on her bed.
"I am really cold," Rose said and Harry took off his jacket and gave it to her and she chuckled at his chivalry and put both of his arms around her waist and moved against his chest and lay them both down and began to fall asleep, even though Harry knew that he had to tell Dumbledore about the Dementor but right now there was nowhere else he wanted to be right then and there.
