Chapter 4.
Harry received another letter from Sirius informing him that Remus and someone named Tonks would be arriving later to bring him to Sirius's house. He was going to go to the park just to get away from the Dursley's but instead he got his stuff packed.
Suddenly he heard "Hello, Harry." He turned around and saw gthe goddess standing by his desk. Harry looked at her, "Aphrodite, it's you."
Aphrodite smiled. "Of course, Harry did you think it was all a dream? All has been put into place, it's up to you now. I have brought you the door to change your fate but you're the key."
Harry looked at Aphrodite confused, " what do you mean I'm the key?"
Aphrodite smiled "An intimate contact with each of the girls I have shown you and you will open the door to change your fate." Harry still looked confused and Aphrodite smiled "You will know when the time is right. We will see each other again, Harry Potter." She then vanished leaving Harry confused.
Harry then heard a knock at the front door and he walked downstairs and opened the door holding his wand in his back pocket. He saw a young woman with bright pink hair. "Wotcher Harry, name's Tonks, Remus is coming." Harry was amazed by her. Tonks looked at him and seeing how he was looking at her, she decided to have a little fun. She stepped up to Harry and pulled him in close, "you going to let me in?" Harry's pulse raced and he couldn't think.
"Alright Tonks, let the poor lad go."
Harry and Tonks turned to see Remus trying not to smile at the scene. Tonks pouted "Aw Remus come on, I was only having a bit of fun."
Remus shook his head "and you have poor Harry flustered, hello Harry."
Harry looked at the werewolf. "Hello Remus."
Remus nodded, "Can we come inside?"
Harry nodded and moved aside and Remus and Tonks walked in. Remus saw Harry's trunk and Hedwig's cage. Remus turned to Harry, "already packed I see?"
Harry nodded and Tonks looked at Harry and waved to him and Harry tensed up which made Tonks laugh.
Remus looked at Tonks, "If you're quite done picking on the poor boy Dora we better leave."
Tonks nodded and three of them left the Dursley's house. Harry locked the door and they walked to a clearing where no one could see them. Harry looked at Remus, "Why are we stopping?"
Remus looked at Harry "Ever apparated before Harry?"
Harry shook his head no, Tonks looked at Harry. "Well then I guess we can side apparate and Remus can grab your trunk."
Remus grabbed Harry's trunk and Tonks pulled Harry close again. "Ready for me to pop that cherry?"
Harry looked at Tonks shocked but before he could say anything he felt something grab him by the navel and they vanished. Before Harry knew it, he was in a house but took one step and fell to the floor. "That was not fun." Tonks laughed. "Did that my first time too, but we're here all the same."
Before Harry could utter a word he heard "NYMPHADORA TONKS!" How many times must I tell you when apparating, bend your knees so you don't fall." Harry looked up to see his godfather entering the room. He then heard someone stomp their foot and he turned to see the bright pink hair Tonks had was now a fiery red.
"AND HOW MANY TIMES MUST I TELL YOU DO NOT CALL ME NYMPHADORA."
Sirius ignored Tonks and helped Harry to his feet. "Hey there Harry. welcome to my home." Harry smiled and looked at Sirius "Hey Sirius." Harry hugged his godfather when he then heard a familiar voice "Sirius, I heard a noise. did Tonks fall down." Hermione then came through the door way, she looked at Harry "HARRY!" She ran and tackled him to the floor, putting the boy wizard in her signature Hermi-hug™.
"Sirius didn't tell me you were going to be here!" Hermione said happily.
Hermione got up and pulled Harry up off the floor. He looked at her and he felt his heart racing. "Yeah I just arrived."
"Honestly Sirius, how can I make sure the house stays clean properly if Tonks keeps apparating in." Molly shouted walking into the den. She then saw Harry "Harry Potter welcome dear boy, have you been eating enough, how did you get here? Does Dumbledore know you're here."
Remus then arrived and everyone turned to him. "Sorry I'm late, I left Harry's relatives a little surprise courtesy of the Marauders." Sirius looked at Remus intrigued. "What did you do?" Remus smiled, "after hearing about how the Dursley's have been treating Harry I decided to leave a box with a rather ill-tempered Boggart in it."
Sirius smiled wishing he could see the Dursley's faces. "Good job Moony."
Molly interrupted, "does Dumbledore know Harry's here?"
Sirius turned and gave Molly a hard stare. "Molly Weasley, last time I checked this is my house and I am Harry's godfather and gaurdian. Dumbledore holds no sway here, this house is only used for headquarters because I agreed to it. I only agreed if it was to help protect Harry. If protecting Harry means he comes here then so be it, if Dumbledore doesn't like it, well let him suck a lemon drop."
Molly gasped and Harry and Hermione looked at Sirius wide eyed. Sirius raised a hand pointing at Molly "And this is the last time we will speak on the matter." Molly huffed and went to the kitchen. Sirius sighed and turned to Harry and Hermione. "Terribly sorry you had to see that kids, but Molly was reaching my last nerve. Harry, Hermione can show you to your room I had one made up for you."
Harry nodded and Hermione took him by the hand. "Come on Harry, it will also give us time to talk." Harry remembered the letter and nodded and followed Hermione. They ran up to the stairs and Hermione showed Harry his room.
"Sirius said you would like it here, it's his old room from when he was in school. My room is across the hall. I asked Sirius if I could have it because between Ginny and Mrs. Weasley I get no privacy. Not to mention Ronald won't leave me alone." Hermione said saddened. Harry nodded, unhappy that Hermione felt harassed. Hermione moved to the bed and sat down. Harry took a seat next to her, he looked into her brown eyes and was entranced "So what did you want to talk about?"
Hermione looked at Harry and took his hand. "Do you know the Greek goddess of love, Aphrodite?"
