Harry exited the building quickly, adrenaline pulsing in his blood, his heat beating faster and blood drumming in his ears. This was it, the game of hide and seek was coming to a close. Only harry had thought he had more time. A lot more time. His steps quickened by the minute, the journey to his car seeming endless.

This can't be it! Give me a break, Harry thought. The dream was so close, yet so far.

Time ticked on and Harry was belted and on his way home, the cottage. It was a nice low key area, very peaceful and where Harry truly felt safe and himself. It was his soul.

Stepping out of the car he walked up him gravel pathway smiling to Mrs Johnson, who was pruning her rose bushes. She was a delightful woman, always inviting Harry over for Sunday roast and her cooking was delicious. Too bad he was so caught up in his newfound worries he wouldn't be able to enjoy it.

"Harry dear, don't forget 3 o'clock!" she shouted after him.

Harry was fiddling with his keys and gave a terse reply, "sorry Mrs R, can't come this weekend, have a business meeting but maybe next week?"

"Never mind dear, work is work. I look forward to seeing you next week," she smiled.

Harry finally managed to open the door and let himself in. It smelled musky; he really needed to get some cleaning done. A layer of dust floated in the air as he dropped his bag on the floor. Home sweet home.

Walking towards the post box, he opened it to find two letters. One had an old fashioned envelope, the paper folded and wax sealed. It was from them. Leaving it on the side he picked up the other, it was a window envelope. Tearing through it he found the copy of his latest contract, his agent had probably sent it a couple of days back. Harry did all his business in the comfort of the cottage where he could relax and keep away from the buzz.

He glanced over the terms and walking into the living room grabbed the pen by the telephone and signed it quickly. Picking up the other letter he sighed as he dropped to the couch. Bracing himself he opened it. It was from Albus Dumbledore, headmaster of Hogwarts and founder of the Order of the Phoenix. The letter talked about the impending threat of Voldermort, how they needed harry blah blah blah... All I'm there for is saving their asses; I'm fed up of it. Scrunching the letter into a ball he aimed for the bin. It flew in and he took his mind off the letter.

His answer machine bleeped continuously. Bleep. Bleep. Bleep. Bleep. Bleep. Argh the soddin' thing, I don't even know why I have it! Frustrated he pressed the play.

Silence...

"Harry I know you've got this, and I know you got Dumbledore's letter. Don't deny it. It's been years that you've kept yourself away. I know it's been hard. Being muggle born I am totally aware of your dip into Hollywood. I am aware of it. I know your frustrated and I don't care what you do but please don't release this film. I know Dumbledore wants you to come back, I don't think that's such a good -"

"Next message" the machine rallied.

"Argh how inconvenient these things are but as I was saying I don't think it's a good idea for you to come back. You're in too much danger, but don't release the film. I know you want to become a superstar but it's gonna put you in danger. Please reason with me. If you are willing to communicate call me on 07760414577."

Harry breathed again. Stop my movie, are you outta your mind Hermione? Who did she think she was. Acting as if she cared, they just couldn't leave me be could they. Argh this is so annoying. Getting up he laid down on the couch and closed his eyes. His eyes focused on brown eyes. So beautiful. The only thing he missed from that world. He smiled. A flash on red slits resided and the beautiful eyes vanished. Quickly he flashed his eyes open. Perspiration on his brow, neck and upper lip. He so did not miss that.

A/N: sorry its been so long. I had stopped writing all fanfiction, just being out of ideas, having tons of work and no time. Had some free time today and people have still been reading this even now and to show my gratidtude to them and all my other readers who have probably given up on me I finally decided to upload. Hope it's good enough, not been writing for ages so I might need to work on it. Don't know if I will be updating regularly as I am doing my major exams atm but I will try. Some encouraging reviews may help =P.
