My Mate
Thanks for editing this - Tara! your great
Chapter 14
"Let's see what Harry's written this time." said Severus, taking the letter from the beautiful white owl.
Starting to read the letter, he smiled slightly before it turned to a frown; before he knew it righteous anger was mingled on his face. However, he did smirk full blast when he read the clue Harry was giving him. Hogsmeade, he would need Draco's help with this, he didn't remember Hogsmeade that well, plus it was bound to have changed since he had been there.
"Draco!" shouted Severus.
"What's wrong, Sev?" asked Draco, coming in, looking concerned.
"How well do you know Diagon Ally?" asked Severus.
"I know it pretty good, why?" asked Draco.
"Harry is going to Diagon Ally, and I want you and the others to get him, without getting caught, as well as a red head girl, Ginny Weasley I believe her name is." said Severus.
"Why?" asked Draco confused, he didn't know anything.
"Harry has been taken to a secret location, and I cannot get to him unless he is out. Now he is getting out to go to Diagon Ally tomorrow, so please be ready to grab him. We will set sail and stay on the ship until two days before term begins and bring Harry back, unless he doesn't want to that is." said Severus.
"Oh, right. Who do you want to go?" asked Draco.
"Just pick out who ever you like." said Severus, he was already writing a reply to Harry. He let Hedwig eat a couple of rats, rats that he used to test potions.
"Ok, bye." said Draco, immediately looking for his friends. They had planning to do; he knew Harry would most likely be extremely well protected.
----------------
Harry paced back and fourth, ignoring his friends who tried to talk to him. Ignoring Sirius, who tried to get him to talk, only to turn into a dog and whine at his door, and Mrs. Weasley who wanted to stuff him with food every second.
Finally Hedwig was back, it felt like ages since he had sent her off in the first place. Almost snatching the letter of her, he got a nip for that, Harry was forgiven as soon as Hedwig was given a big bunch of owl treats and new fresh cold water. Hooting her thanks, she left Harry to read his letter from Severus in peace.
Harry,
I will have someone pick you up in Diagon Ally, don't be alarmed when someone apparates you. We are bringing along your friend, Ginny Weasley, might as well. She seems like she can do with a break as well.
I'm not surprised by the information you have given me, for I had suspected it ever since you told me about them. The girl Hermione was another matter, I thought she was a clever one, now I know she is dumb.
Black has always been an immature bastard, and has never grown up. He probably clings to Dumbledore like a baby, or perhaps prison affected him more than we think. The old Black would have done what he is doing now but I don't think he could do this to his own godson. If he is, which it seems like, then it's only his loss. When you come out in the open, Black will realize what he has lost.
I'm really sorry about your friends Harry, but you are young, you can still make true friends in time. Don't dwell on those thoughts, and forget to live your life to the fullest. Just because they use you doesn't mean everyone will.
You could never bore me, Harry, I'm just glad you have at last me to talk to and tell your troubles too. It's nice to be relied on, which is a first in a very long time.
Goodbye,
Severus.
Harry smiled before gently folding the letter up, he was about to put it in his trunk, but then sat on his bed and re-read it. However, knocking on his door stopped him from reading another time. Putting it in his secret hidey whole compartment, he opened the door.
"It's dinner time, come on down and eat Harry." said Sirius looking concerned.
"I will be down in a minute." said Harry, shutting the door. He got his shoes on, the halls were bare, and he didn't want sore feet. He did have a flurry carpet on his floor. It was green, an emerald green and it was nice.
"Ok then Harry, I'll wait for you." said Sirius.
"I can get down on my own." said Harry stopping himself from scowling.
"That's ok Harry, I'll wait, I want to talk to you, seems like we have not had much of a chance to talk." said Sirius.
"Well then you should try pulling yourself away from Ron and talk to me then. Don't let me stop you from hanging around with Ron, I know you like talking to him, so go." said Harry.
"Are you sure?" asked Sirius.
"Of course I am," said Harry having to stop himself from sneering.
"Ok, see you later." said Sirius before going down the stairs to see Ron. Ron was like a mini- James, and Sirius liked that fact. Harry didn't seem to care about pranks. No son of James would hate pranks, and he hated the fact that Harry was not like his father.
"Where is Harry?" asked Dumbledore.
"Up the stairs getting dressed." said Sirius, sitting down next to Ron.
"I asked you to try and talk to him." said Dumbledore, frowning.
"I did, he said I could go down and talk to Ron," said Sirius
"Very well, talk to him get him to open up, I want to know what he is thinking and feeling." said Dumbledore.
"Sure no problem." said Sirius, eating breakfast talking practically none stop with Ron.
Harry came in, ate breakfast silently, not looking at anyone, defiantly not looking anywhere near Dumbledore. He didn't want the old fool too see within his mind. He was so excited about actually getting away from Dumbledore.
"Are you all ready to go to Diagon Ally?" asked Dumbledore after everyone had finished. However, Harry had purposely taken his time just to annoy the old fool.
"Yes." said Harry hiding his eagerness being boredom.
"Good everyone get together, you will be portkeyed to Diagon Ally," said Dumbledore. He was letting them go there, knowing less people would see them than others would in Hogsmeade.
Everyone held on, they felt the tug behind the navel before they were off. They hit the ground with a thump in Diagon Ally. Harry was glad he did not have to hang around there all day; it was nothing like Hogsmeade, just two rows of shops all close together. You could barely walk anywhere without someone bumping into you. Hogsmeade was defiantly one of his preferences.
"You're too happy, what is going on?" asked Ginny as soon as the others were away. Hermione and Ron were a few steps behind; thankfully they could not hear what was going on.
"Me, I'm finally getting away from the bloody house, don't panic when I'm apparated away, I will be back." said Harry.
"Take me with you." said Ginny pleadingly.
"I don't know if he will, but if he does, again don't panic." said Harry.
"Thank you." said Ginny, finally smelling independence a mile away, she was curious to know who would be taking Harry away.
"It's fine, I don't know when it's happening though." said Harry frowning, Severus had not told him who or when the said person or people were coming.
"Can you trust this person?" asked Ginny, she didn't want to end up with Death Eaters after all. She had had enough of Tom Riddle to last a life time, she thought she didn't know that it was Voldemort, well they were wrong. Harry had told her a few years ago when he had possessed her. She had been shocked, but not overly so, who else would possess her with a diary?
"I'm sure, he has had plenty chances to take me to Voldemort, unless he wants to gain my trust, I suppose." said Harry, shrugging his shoulders.
"Harry, you need to be sure, unless you want to die." Said, Ginny wide eyed.
"If he does he does, I don't care all I really want is away from that old fool, plus if he is taking me to Voldemort I do have some tricks up my sleeve," said Harry smirking slightly.
"That looks suits you." said Ginny, without stuttering, she was now a fully grown woman. It's just the Order, her family, and the whole world just refuses to see it. Harry saw her as a grown woman; she could tell by the way he spoke to her.
"Thanks." said Harry, still smirking.
"So what are we doing until they come?" asked Ginny.
"Well I'm going to the bank." said Harry, with renewed purpose he started walking off towards Gringotts. Ginny went with him; they lost sight of Hermione and Ron, who were not paying any attention to them.
"Do you have money with you?" asked Harry.
"No I don't have money, I'm never allowed money, my mum still buys me everything I need." said Ginny in disgust.
"Come on then." said Harry, going up to a goblin.
"I would like to see my vault please, the main one." said Harry, demanding respect and obedience.
"Very well, Mr. Potter, follow me." said the goblin.
"Thanks Griphook." said Harry, remembering who the goblin was. Catching the shocked look on the things face he asked, "What is the matter?"
"No one has ever remembered our name, Mr. Potter, we are just Goblins and people don't treat us like humans," said Griphook,
"Yeah, well I wont, I have a house elf as a friend," said Harry.
They were now at his vault, opening it up he found millions of books and other things, they were untidy but all there. He looked around; spotted two things together that he had thought had been stolen from him.
"MY MAP, THE CLOAK." said Harry in surprise.
"Why are they in here?" said Ginny.
"I'm an idiot, I asked them to put everything that used to be in my vault back in it, that obviously includes my cloak and map, both belong to my dad." said Harry who wanted to just stomp his foot and hit his head.
"That's right, Mr. Potter." said Griphook, smirking.
Harry filled up a bag full of galleons before leaving the vault, having second thoughts he summoned his cloak and map to him, they were treasures to him and didn't want to leave them there. This time he was ready to leave, they found themselves in the main lobby of Gringotts before they knew it.
They next headed to the sweet shop, buying almost three bags full of the stuff; it was just in case he ended up hungry at night. Plus, where he was going, he might need some food. He doubted it Severus always seemed to have food on him, smiling brightly he walked out.
However, the smile was wiped of when he saw who was coming towards him, it was Draco Malfoy, and before he knew it both Ginny and him were being forced Portkey's into their hands. They landed with a thump; Harry was firing of spells before anyone knew what hit them.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
