Chapter 33b

Settling in and shocks

Luna and Harry had spent the night cuddling getting a good night's sleep to make sure Harry was well rested for his first day of classes and lectures. "Luna, it's 8am and you have to be back at Hogwarts soon" Luna opened one eye and sneaked a peak at her boyfriend's muscled and toned body. "Can't we just stay in bed?"

"Nope!" Harry grabbed her foot to tickle it, as she howled with laughter, Harry smiled making sure she properly woke up. "Alright, I'm up, Harry!" she laughed "Good, you want a shower before you head off and some toast?" he asked as he pulled on his dressing gown.

"Yes! I'm hungry" Harry kissed his betrothed before smacking her behind and sending her off to the shower room with a red face.

A short while later, Luna looked refreshed and ready to return to her apprenticeship at Hogwarts. "Owl me if you need anything" Luna said as they walked to the apparition point just outside Oxford grounds. Harry snogged her once more and let her go. Some of the male students saw the attractive blonde and the young man snog and wolf-whistled until Harry glared at them. If looks could kill, they would be dead on the spot.

Harry spotted no else around and signalled to Luna that it was safe so she turned on her heel and silently apparated.

He walked back to his apartment and spotted a Prefect. "Hi, I'm harry, could you show me to the sports hall please?"

"Yeah, sure, new here?"

"Is it that Obvious?"

"Well, first, Intros, I'm Tom" All the colour drained from Harry's face "Hey, buddy, are you okay?"

"Yeah, sorry, a real sense of De-ja-Vu there" Harry said embarrassed "With my name?" Tom asked.

"Sorry, it doesn't matter, is there a swimming pool at the sports hall?"

"Yeah, sure and running track and a fully stocked Gym, it doesn't get much better than that, actually it does, there is a climbing wall with ropes and instructors. Sorry, I just noticed your insignia rings. Are you from a clan?"

"No, my parents were murdered when I was 15 months old and this is their crest."

"Oh, man" Tom stuttered feeling mortified "I'm sorry, I didn't know, please forgive my ignorance?"

"Tom, it's okay, I barely knew them and the man that did murder them is in prison. Don't pity me, my friends from the boarding school are my family and my mother's sister raised me from when I was a baby. I was very much brought up as another one of their children."

"Anyway, here we are, the swimming pool is through those doors and the showers and changing rooms are over here."

"Thanks, Tom, I mean it" Harry got changed into his swimwear and showered quickly. There were a few young men and women doing their work-outs in the gym but they all stared at Harry and started whispering furiously when they saw scars that criss-crossed on his back. Harry glared at them making them shut up quickly and dived in the pool doing 5 lengths to get himself started. He relaxed when he saw everyone had left the pool and the Gym. But his nerves were on edge when he heard the one voice and saw the one person he never imagined but had nightmares about appeared in front of him.

"Harry, my boy" Dumbledore had a murderous glint in his eye but pulled out his wand pointing it at Harry!

A/N That was an evil cliffie, I am so cruel, (evil laugh)
