"There's no way I'm getting any sleep now." said Harry talking to himself. 'Should I at least go done to see them?' thought Harry.
'I don't want them to get hurt because of me.'
'They deserve to at least see their so' came a voice that sounded exactly like Hermione.
'Please go away stupid voice.' replied Harry.
'But you love this voice. It belongs to Hermione after all, and you love everything about Hermione.' the voice said back.
'Why does everyone keep saying that? I am not in love with her, and even if I were there is no way I'd tell her'
'Why?'
'You know what happens to people who get close to me.'
'They at least deserve to see you.'
'I guess so. Alright I'll go.' Harry thought to himself, and off he went to go meet his parents, Sirius, and Remus. When he opened the door he saw Hermione standing there.
"I knew you change your mind." said Hermione with a big smile on her face.
"Yeah…I think they at least deserve to see me." replied Harry. 'At least I made her smile.'
"Come on. Lets not keep them waiting." said Hermione, and off they went.
Meanwhile
"What's taking her so long?" asked Lily. Ron had left them in an empty classroom.
"Who knows, but Hermione is a very important person in the DA with a lot of responsibilities. It could be hours before we see her." answered McGonagall.
"WHAT!!!" screamed Lily, James, and Sirius at the same time.
"Don't worry. I'm sure Hermione would put this at top priority." Said Remus to his angry impatient friends.
"In fact, I'm right here." said Hermione.
"Hello Ms. Granger, Its nice to see you again." said McGonagall.
"Nice to see you too. I'm happy to see you all made it her safely. So your Harry's parents." said Hermione, turning to Harry's parents when she finished. James and Lily looked at her. Standing before them was a girl of average height, with straight brown hair, and her teeth were perfect. Her eyes didn't show much life. Though the light in them didn't seem to be completely out. She was completely different from her school days.
Flashback
"So can you tell us about Harry's friends?" asked Lily.
"Sure. Which one first?" answered Sirius.
"How about Hermione." said Lily.
"Well last time I saw her she had large front teeth, lots of bush brown hair, and was very bossy. She had temper just like Lily, and a certain disregard for the rules that was unlike Lily." explained Sirius.
"She has changed though, but only in her appearance. Not much so that she is unrecognizable ." said Remus.
"How about Ron?" asked James
"He hasn't changed much. Great at dueling, loyal and trustworthy, a true friend who can stay positive even during the worst of times. He reminds of Sirius. He is very tall, has inherited the Weasley's red hair, and has freckles." answered Remus.
"What else can you tell us?" asked Lily.
"Well…….
End Flashback
'So this is what he meant when he said changed in appearance.' thought Sirius.
"It's a pleasure to meet you, and I'm happy to see you again Sirius. Now I was supposed to come down here and explain to you why Harry was cutting the Order off." said Hermione.
"Then you're going to take us to see Harry." said James.
"Actually, Harry decided to come down himself. He got a little held up on the way down. He should be arriving soon." answered Hermione. Harry came right on cue.
"Hi." was all Harry said. Harry was lucky enough to have one final growth spurt and make it to 6ft. He wore a black button up shirt with very dark blue jeans. He seemed to be tired but healthy. The Doves probably had something to do with that. But his eyes they seemed so empty and haunted. If you looked hard enough you could tell there was still some life. The light wasn't completely out.
"We'll just let you guys catch up." said Remus while he and McGonagall started to get up.
"That won't be necessary. You can go now if you want to Hermione, but I'll need you later." said Harry. His voice was so cold but calm. It wasn't as cold when he talked to Hermione but no one seemed to notice.
"I'll be right out here." said Hermione and off she went.
"The fact of the matter is I simply don't trust you anymore. You continue to allow death eaters to come back and you believe their lies. I wouldn't be surprised if Voldemort already knew of you three being alive. The Order is as untrustworthy as The Ministry who went around chasing after Dumbledore while Voldemort just went around unnoticed. As for my parents I have no intention of getting to know you. You can stay here as long as you wish as long as you sign that paper over there and have Hermione, Ron, or me give you a Trusted mark. If you don't you'll be thrown out." said Harry in his cold yet calm voice. Everyone except Remus and McGonagall looked shocked.
"But why?" asked Lily.
"Either sign that paper or leave." was Harry's only reply. With that said he left. After a little while Hermione came in.
"I suggest you sign and let me give you your Trusted marks. Otherwise you'll never get a chance to get to know Harry. At least not until the war is over." said Hermione.
"I was afraid he act that." said Remus. McGonagall got up and left. Her loyalties were to the Order.
"Harry thinks its his fault that you three died. He is only nice to his closest friends' now." said Hermione.
"That's why he said he didn't want get know us. Well were going to have to change that. We're going to sign this paper and we're going to get Harry to realize its not his fault. Right guys." said James. The others nodded in agreement. Hermione smiled at this. 'Maybe they can help Harry, and I'll see him smile more often.
"Don't forget the mark. Its going to hurt but it'll over soon. Remus you only have to sign the paper. Together I'm sure you guys can get Harry back to normal."
"Right!" said James, Sirius, Remus, and Lily.
Meanwhile
Ps." I may have made a mistake letting them stay." said Harry.
Ps." There's no way they'll leave you alone." said Nightshade
Ps." What have I done."
Mika: Got to go for now.
Rose: R/R
