Harry awoke to the sound of voices coming from another part of the house. Harry got dressed and followed the sound of the voices. Well I won't need Extendable Ears to hear this conversation! Harry thought.
The voices were clearly unhappy and what sounded like Mrs. Weasley shouting, "NO! ABSOLUTELY NOT! I WILL NOT ALLOW HIM TO BE MOVED WHEN THIS IS THE SAFEST PLACE FOR HIM!"
"Molly, be reasonable. If Voldemort, finds out where this place is we will all be in trouble-"
"Remus does have a point Molly. We can not endanger the members of the Order-"
"BUT THIS IS ABOUT HARRY'S SAFETY! NOT THE ORDER-" Molly shrieked.
"-Or Harry. This is the only way to keep everyone safe for the time being-"
"BUT I DON'T WANT HARRY TO BE WITH HIM! THEY CAN'T STAND EACH OTHER! HOW DO YOU EXPECT THEM TO GET ALONG!"
"This is on Albus's orders! And whether you agree with him or not, this is going to happen!" The finality in Arthur's tone stopped Molly in her tracks. She gave a slight huff.
"Well, fine. I see now that my opinion of the boy does not matter. Good luck telling him." With a final huff, she turned and left the room.
"Well, Remus, I s'pose you ought to go tell Harry."
"Tell me what?" Harry asked as he entered the room.
Remus and Arthur jumped at this and turned to Harry. Arthur cleared his throat, "Well, Remus, I'll leave you to it." Arthur left the room and closed the door quietly behind him.
Remus motioned for Harry to come sit on the sofa. He kneeled down in front of Harry and placed his hands on Harry's shoulders.
"Well, there is no point in 'beating around the bush,' so I'll just say it." Remus look straight into Harry's eyes and continued, "Dumbledore replied back to me this morning and he want's you to go live with Professor Snape for the remainder of the summer holidays."
Harry sat dumbstruck as horror filled him. How could they do this to me! One little nightmare and they're shipping me off to live with Snape!
"That's not all, Harry." More! How could it get any worse! Remus removed his hands from Harry's shoulders. "Dumbledore wants you to continue Occlumency with Professor Snape as well."
No! This could NOT be happening! They were not going to make me live with Snape if I have anything to say about it!
"No way!"
"Harry, it is for your own good. I know you do not like Professor Snape, but-"
"I AM NOT GOING TO GO LIVE WITH THAT GREASY SNIVELLING GIT!"
"Yes. You are. This is for your own safety as well as everyone else's. I know you don't like Occlumency much either, but you need to learn to block him out, before he realizes he can get into your head and find out about everything. If it makes you feel better, I wasn't to keen on the idea either."
"WHAT WAS WRONG WITH ME STAYING HERE!" Harry was on his feet now.
"If You-Know-Who does figure out how to get into your thoughts or possess you again, it could blow our cover and we would all be in trouble." Harry crossed his arms and leaned against the wall stubbornly. Lupin sighed and walked over to him. "Living with Professor Snape is the last thing they'll expect."
Harry's eyes shot up as he glared at Remus, "I don't care! I'm not going!" He ran from the room, before Remus could catch him. He heard him calling after him as he torn from the house and ran into the forest behind Grimmauld Place. He kept running until he was far from the view of the house. He stopped and leaned against a tree, trying to catch his breath.
"Well, well, well, what do we have here?" Came a drawling voice behind Harry. He spun around, wand raised, and looked into the cold, steely eyes of Lucious Malfoy, his wand pointed at Harry's chest. More Death Eaters appeared, surrounding Harry, all with wands raised.
"Baby Potter was naughty and got losty," came the annoying voice from Bellatrix Lestrange. Harry's mind was running fast, trying to think of some way to alert the others, for he knew there was no escape.
"I think baby Potter ought to have a lesson that bad boys get into trouble." Bellatrix raised her wand, but Lucious grabbed her wrist to stop her.
"Bellatrix, don't be stupid. If you curse him, he'll scream and then we'll have company!" Lucious hissed in her ear. This caused her to lower her wand a bit, but still have it pointed at Harry. This had given Harry time to come up with an idea, but he would have to be careful. He only had one shot at it, so he would have to time it right.
Lucious turned back to Harry and sneered, "Potter, you can come peaceably or by force. Either way you're coming with us. It is your choice." Harry saw his chance and started coughing uncontrollably. He doubled over and continued coughing. All the Death Eaters looking puzzled. Finally one came over and started slapping Harry on the back. Harry straightened up so fast it knocked the Death Eater off balance. Harry pointed his wand straight up into the air sending red sparks high into the sky.
The death eater cursed under his breath as another shouted, "STUPEFY!"
Harry's world went black.
Remus let Harry go assuming he would go to his room. He could always speak to him again once he had cooled down, but when he didn't hear Harry on the stairs above him, he got worried. One could always hear if someone was on the stairs.
Remus left the room, hollering up the stairs for Ron, Ginny, and Hermione to come down the stairs, ignoring Black's mothers wailing and screaming about people defiling the house of her fathers and such nonsense. Ron, Ginny, and Hermione were able to close the curtains around the portrait on their way down. Molly and Arthur came in from another part of the house to see what all the ruckus was all about.
"Have any of you seen Harry within the last ten minutes?"
He received negative answers all around.
"Okay we all need to split up and find him. He was pretty upset last I saw." Remus was pacing back and forth. "Ron and Hermione, you check the upstairs. Arthur and Ginny you check the downstairs, and Molly and I will search the ground floor. Got it?" They all nodded.
They searched all over, but found no trace of Harry. When they all met up in the kitchen, it was Hermione who suggested they look outside. Everyone followed Remus to the back door. Remus opened the door and looked at the trees.
"Merlin's beard!" Arthur and Remus cried in unison, for they saw in the distance red sparks right above the treeline.
Remus bolted for the trees with Arthur right behind him. Arthur was shouting directions back at Molly to call for backup and make sure the children stayed put.
They ran for some time, until they thought they were around the area where they had seen the sparks. They slowed to a walk, wands at the ready, and began searching. They did not have to search long, for there in a bed of leaves lay Harry's wand.
