It's been two months now, since Harry left us. No word from him still. I just don't understand how he could do it. Things were going to get better. Now that we no longer had to live life in fear.
Hermione has been quite, unusually quiet no, smirky comebacks, nothing. I take it she's taking it pretty hard. She thinks Harry went back to his aunt and uncles but I immediately shut that down. There's no way he would ever return there, ever.
"But Ron if he went back to London he would have no where to stay other than the Dursley's. It's not like he can make a living on our money. He would need muggle money. Hermione fought him on this one
"True but, for all we now Harry could still be here. Maybe he just said that so we wouldn't go looking for him. He's has money to disappear here Hermione". Ron reminded her.
"You heard him, he feels like he's to blame for all the deaths. So why would he stay here and be constantly reminded of what took place? When he could go to London and no one knows him, or what even happen. He could start over and that's... that's what he wanted". Hermione sadly said as she looked down
Ron walked over and sat next to her, put his arm around her. "If you want to go look there than ok, well go look" Ron said has he gave his cute lop sided smile he has been know for
It was about 4:30 when Ron and Hermione made it to Privet Drive. They paused as they took a deep breath and started walking towards the home.
Aunt Putunia had answered the door. She stuck her nose up at them and asked what they wanted
"We, we were, uhm wondering if Harry was here". Ron stuttered out
"Ha!" Aunt Putunia let out a huge scoffle "please, that boy hasn't been here for years. Nor is he welcomed here".
"But, have you seen him, within the last couple of months"? Hermione spoke up
" No! Now please leave, I will not be associated with your kind" Aunt putunia had harshly whispered as she shut the door in there faces
"And that's why Harry wouldn't never come back here" Ron said as the slowly walked away
"I guess but, if he's not here then where could he be"? Hermione asked as she looked up at Ron
"I don't know Mione, I wish I did". Ron said as he grab her hand softly
Aunt Putuna walked into the kitchen to start cooking dinner
"Why is it you don't want them to know where you are?" Aunt Petunia asked Harry
"There better off without me in there lives" Harry said as he looked down
"Well you be paying me for that little performance once you get a job, don't think you'll be getting any freebies" Aunt Petunia scorned him
Harry rolled his eyes yes aunt Petunia
"In fact your cooking food tonight. I'm going to rest, that performance really took it out of me.
The boys come home in a hour so you better hurry! Aunt Petunia hummed as she left the room
Since coming the the Dursleys and begging for them to give him a place to stay they finally came to an agreement
1. I would be sleeping in the cupboard
2. House work and cooking is my job
3. No magic allowed
4. Once the family came home I was to disappear
5. I would be out once I got a job and collected enough money to pay for my own flat
6. I would pay every Penny back to the Dursleys
Finding a job to a kid that didn't graduate high school is pretty hard and tough I've looked just about everywhere.
With aunt Petunia up stairs and no one home I decided to whip of my wand and speed up the whole process of cooking.
Within the next hour I cooked cleaner set up the table and left before uncle Vernon came home along with my pesky cousin.
I made my way down to the subway restaurant which I haven't been to since Dumbledore visited me. As I walked in and sat myself I took a menu and started to look at it. I felt as though someone was watching me I had looked up and no one and I waived it off. As I looked to the side I saw in the window a help wanted sign. I began to walk up to the counter and that's when I stopped in my tracks as the girl, well women shooting daggers at me was standing behind the counter silently daring me to approach her. I have her a light smile as she rolled her eyes.
"Hey, so I know you must hate me but uhm I have a very valid reasons why I needed to leave. But you see I have had a pretty rough year and well I see your hiring.
"No" the women replied
"But the sign says" I replied back
"The sign is wrong" she replied back more harshly
"Lilly stop giving this young man a hard time, son you looking for a job? Then I got one for you. A men said with white hair
"The name is Harold and you"? The man said as he reached out his hand
"Harry, Harry Potter" I responded
"Nice to meet you Harry now let's sit down for an interview" Harold said
The interview went swell I got the job said I could start tomorrow and Lilly would train me. Well just see how that goes.
The next morning I got up did the morning routines cleaned up the dishes and left. I met Lilly who was waiting for me inside, she gave me sponk which reminded me of Hermione
I laugh to myself but I guess that was the wrong thing to cause Lilly snapped around with a super angry face
"Is something funny to you Potter"? Lilly said angrily
"No, well actually yes, it's just you remind me of a good friend Hermione".
"Wel,l unless she was a comedian, do you mind keeping the laughing to a minimum
"I'll try" I said smiling at her
"Where not friends so stop smiling at me" Lilly snapped
"Ok, I know I didn't show up for our date but, I'm sorry alright! But do I really deserve all this hostility? I say as I drop the smile
"Yes! You deserve way more"! Lilly shouted
"And why is that"!? I asked puzzled
"Because, because my father died for you"! She harshly whispered to me with anger in her eyes as she stormed out the diner
What did she mean her father died for me? What the... That would mean she knows who I am and where I come from, but how can that be. And who is her father?
I continued to work until my shift need Lilly had returned earlier that day but I gave her much needed space
"Harry, we need to talk" Lilly had said as i was leaving the diner
"Alright" I quickly said as she lead me to a table
It's been hard since knowing of my fathers death. Though he had told me that he might not make it out the war alive, I still had hope he would make it. He told me about you, Harry Potter and if it had came down to it he would give his life to save yours. It was an unspoken vow he made to your mother after she had died. A vow that he would protect you no matter what. He believed in you Harry, only spoken greatly of you and your mother. When I first saw you that day and saw the paper moving I knew you were from our world, you see I was going to ask you to take me there, though against my father's wishes, I just wanted to see him possibly one last time. But I guess it was best that you had left before I saw you again. And now seeing you and not able to see my father I just, got angry and I guess I started blaming you. But I was wrong for that and I know it's not you to blame. My father had to do what he did to bring our world back to what it use to be. And thanks to you and so many others are world is free from fear. And soon I hope to return.
Lilly gushed out and she light a low sigh out and looked back up at me
I didn't know what to say as I looked back at her. This man who could he be? He knew my mother I trailed off in my my mind
"No, It can't be?" I said out loud
"What can't be"? Lilly questions
"Your father, your father is…" I trailed off not being able to finish
"Severus Snape" Lilly announced proudly
