Chapter 8
Running.
Just like that day when he found about his powers.
Now he wasn't even running for his body or stamina, now he was just curious about who would be runing with him if Tonks was missing. Tonks bet on Snape (Uncle Snappie as she had called him) because he was the youngest. Harry thought it would be Lupin because his situation made him have super human strength and stamina.
Of course, if it was Snape it was worth running double the normal distance just because of that.
As Harry came to the normal bench he sat down and listened, he heard nothing.
He began looking around to see any clues where his unknown guard was, footprints in the mud, dented grass, things like that, he saw nothing unusual and he sighed to himself "why do people have to make it so hard for me."
He walked over to a mound of dry dirt and began drawing "kenaz". He murmured to himself as he drew the rune that meant beakon or torch which would lead to the Sight, which was what he wanted.
He disecretly pulled out the silver knife he had purchased in Diagon Alley, cut his hand and let a drop of blood fall onto the rune.
The rune flashed the now familiar shade of red which meant it was ready. He now took a handfull of dirt which was dry so it was very fine dust and threw it into the wind.
To somone else it would just look like an act of boredom and depression, drawing a picture in the dirt and destroying it.
To Harry on the other hand it was dead useful as he now saw all magically hidden things where the dust had touched as long as the dust was magically charged. The problem was that that wouldn't be very long, because he had used so little blood.
Other than a heart with letters carved into a nearby tree, he could guess what LE+JP stood for, he saw he saw Remus J. Lupin standing nearby with a concerned look on his face. Harry walked in his direction, took a seat on the bench he had sat on earlier, reached over and took the cloak off him.
"What... How... Why... How did you know I was there?" Remus asked.
"Take this Professor" Harry handed him a flat stone.
"What, why" Remus said as he took it.
When Remus took the stone it immediatly turned sky blue.
"What...?" Remus asked.
"I'll explain when we get to Privet Drive" Harry said before Remus finished the question and started running back to Privet Drive.
When they were half way there Remus asked: "Do you run like this every day?"
Harry answered "Yep, but you can count yourself lucky, if Snape had been on guard duty I would have run twice this distance."
Remus laughed.
When they made it to Privet Drive they hard somone call "Boy get over here right now."
"Oops it's my uncle," Harry said "wait for me in my room, second floor, the door with all the lock's on it" he said to Remus.
"Ok" Said Remus and started climbing the stairs.
When Harry was sure Remus was out of eyesight he took a piece of parchment out of his pocket along with his bloodquill and wrote the bindrune he had been making the last couple of days "Auroch,Algiz" he muttered under his breath as he wrote it and when he was done he put it in his pocket.
Harry walked into the kitcen and stood aginst his uncle "Yes, Uncle Vernon" he said.
"Why, is there another freak in this house" Vernon bellowed.
"What freak?" Harry asked hoping he would say Remus.
"What freak! What freak? That half naked harlot lying in your bed" his uncle bellowed "What's such a nice looking freak doing with you anyway?"
"Well" Harry said "I saved her from certain death. In the process destroying a whole sreet and when I transported her here she was injured so she is now healing in my room"
Vernon gulped and asked "How did a wimp like you destroy a whole street?"
Harry got a feral glint in his eyes as he answered "I used a special kind of very powerful magic that few can wield and no one alive apart from myself can, but as that is a secret I will have to make you forget."
"No... you won't be using that freak stuff on me!" Vernon said as he charged Harry meaning to punch him but his fist stopped few centimeters away from him with the sound of a gong.
When his Uncle's punch struck, Harry moved one step back and as Vernon was over balanced he fell down on his face.
Harry bent down ower him and said "You're lucky, I could have set that shield to attack back with just one extra rune." Harry took a stone out of his pocket and laid it on his Uncle's forehead. Once the ward was holding him down, Harry took the dagger our of its holster and cut his finger and let the blood drop onto the rune and murmured "Isa,Thurisaz" and his uncle got a peacful expession on his face letting Harry know his memory erasion had been successful.
As Harry made his way to his room he saw Remus standing outside his door way waiting. "Why didn't you go inside?" Harry asked.
"I did" Remus answered "but umm... Why is there a half-naked woman on your bed?"
Albus Dumbledore's office, Hogwarts
If somone were looking at Professor Dumbledore he would seem quite calm, but under the calm surface he was absolutely fuming.
The boy had taken the main income for the Order away and put one of the Orders best agents into prison, well Dumbledore didn't really need the money, the Dumbledores were a wealthy family but he would never use his or his families money on some pet-project.
Now, what to do about moneymaking, he could make every member pay some galleons a month. Some of the richer families had done it in the first war, the Potters were one of them, that was the main reason the Order belived that they could lawfully take out of the Potter vault. Dumbledore had said it was in their will, and it was, the will said that 'if Voldemort iss still active then the Order may take up to 30 galleons a month for 10 years'. All Dumbledore did was just not to tell the whole truth.
'Well anyway' Dumbledore thought 'I have to get ready for the trial tomorrow.'
Hermione Grangers room, the Granger house
Hermione was looking out the window, leaning on her elbows on the windowsill and just watching the children outside runing and laughing, unaware of the dangers that lurked in this world or another.
While she was looking out the window, she was thinking about her best friend. She had been almost scared by the tone he used on her and Ron at the reading. He had accused her of not having the guts to disobey the Headmaster. 'How dare he!' she thought 'after all the letters I sent him, when the Headmaster strictly ordered me not to send any. I even mentioned it in my letters. Harry didn't answer them either, that's very unlike Harry, somthing must be wrong with him.' Sometime into her rant she had stood up and started pacing the room. 'I wonder if I can get Dad to drive me to Surrey' she thought as she ran out the door.
AN: Very very very sorry for the long wait, I got a mayor writers-block and the story just stoped flowing, sorry.
Ok now what do YOU want to happen at the trial (i would have writen it tn this chapter but i have no idea what is going to happen)
As for the Hraesvelgr it is mentioned in norse mythology, it is a jotun(giant) that sits on the end of the sky's in the form of a eagle beating his wings creating the wind (the rest of his powers i did just make up) and i made it related to a phoenix because it made sense that the two elemental birds in the world are related.
Wulffmann: Ok I did understand that but Danish has allways been my worst class in scool ;) sorry
Daire-Floresta: Fyrst chapter temper tantrum
omnis potens: Its a bit of both actually
ok:Sorry but i have no idea what you are talking about
Phoenix-Of-Hogwarts:I dont supose a nice heatful "sorry" would suffice
Thanks for all the Reviews
bye and R&R please
