Summary: After all that's happened nothings changed right? Wrong, everyone's beginning to notice the new Harry. Can Remus and Sirius bring the old Harry back?




Chapter Twenty: Everything's Changing

"We've done a bad, bad thing Hermione", Ron sighed taking a seat next to her in the great hall, still trying to catch Harry's eye but failing, "After almost five years it's just over, just like that"

"What on earth are you talking about?", Hermione asked confused.

"Isn't it obvious Hermione? How can you expect him to ever look at us again, much less still be friends?", Ron stared at Hermione in awe that she herself hadn't been the one to say this.

"I told you I'd take care of it Ron", Hermione reminded him.

"I really don't think he wants to talk to you", Ron replied.

"Oh and you did such a good job last night?", Hermione exclaimed.

"You misunderstood me, I meant he's not going to talk to either of us", Ron explained.

"Just trust me Ron, I know how to deal with Harry", Hermione rolled her eyes.

"Hermione honestly could you stop thinking about yourself for a minute and think about Harry's side!", Ron exclaimed.

"Trouble in paradise?", Ron's brother Fred asked taking a seat next to Hermione.

"Fred were kind of having an important conversation here", Ron explained.

"Oh don't mind me I'm just trying to eat", Fred joked, "I won't be a bother I assure you"

"Fred!", Ron said angrily.

"Sorry, geeze don't bite my head off. I do have reason for coming over to your side of the world little Ron", Fred explained.

"Then spit it out already!", Ron answered.

"Well, I couldn't help but notice being that nice brother I am, that you two are over here and Harry is sitting way over there", Fred pointed in Harry's direction, "All by himself"

"Wow aren't you observant", Ron grew annoyed with his brother.

"So what's going on?", Fred asked.

"Nothing that concerns you", Ron snapped.

"Okay then I guess I'll just have to go talk to Harry...", Fred started.

"No!", Ron shouted making heads turn in his direction for a moment.

"Listen", Ron said quietly, "If I tell you this you can't go making a whole saga rumor about it okay?"

"Ron, Ron...would I do that?", Fred laughed, "So spill what's wrong with Harry?"

"Harry uh...well this isn't easy to say...", Ron stuttered.

"Ugh I'll tell you", Hermione sighed, "Harry walked in on me and Ron kissing last night"

"You what!", Fred exclaimed.

"You heard her!", Ron replied.

"How could you do that to Harry?", Fred glared at Hermione, "You're his girlfriend! And you...you're his best friend!"

"I know", Ron stared at the table unable to look Fred in the eye.

"You two messed up big time", Fred looked toward Harry who was getting up to leave, "and I'm sorry to say this but...you've just ruined your friendships with Harry forever"

"Fred...it'll be okay", Hermione explained.

"How blind are you?", Fred laughed, "He's never going to be able to look either of you in the eye ever again. And it's both of your faults. Now, while you two sit here hopefully feeling guilty. I am going to go talk to Harry"

"Stay out of this Fred", Ron warned, "I mean it, keep out"

"I'm sorry Ron but Harry needs someone right now, and no matter what you say you won't convince me not to help him", Fred fixed his eyes from Ron to Hermione one last time before proceeding to follow the steps Harry had just taken out of the great hall.

"He's not going to help us at all you know", Ron looked up at Hermione, "If anything he's going to make things worse"

"Maybe we just need to accept the fact that things aren't going to be the same ever again. Accept the fact that, from now on there's one less of us", Hermione suggested.

"No, I'm not giving up without a fight", Ron explained, "Harry will hear me out, even if he doesn't want to"







A few minutes later Fred found himself knocking on the fifth year dormitory door. It was the only other place he figured Harry could be.

"Harry?", he called out, "are you in there?"

When he heard no response he decided to see for himself. He opened the door and his eyes turned to Harry's bed. He'd pulled his curtains around his bed, and was obviously upset.

"Harry?", Fred asked again pushing the curtains away.

"Leave me alone", Harry turned his face away from Fred.

"What are you doing?", Fred looked down to see a trunk sitting on Harry's bed.

"None of your business", Harry stated.

"Where's all your stuff Harry?", Fred suddenly knew what was going on.

"Just leave me alone Fred", Harry turned his head revealing a tear-streaked face.

"Harry just because my brother's a dumb ass doesn't mean you have to flee", Fred sat down next to Harry.

"Flee? What are you talking about?", Harry asked.

"I'm not that stupid Harry, I know you were planning on running away", Fred pulled Harry's trunk toward him and opened it up.

"I wasn't running away", Harry rubbed his eyes clear of the wet tears on his face.

"Harry you don't have to lie to me", Fred pulled Harry closer to him.

"I'm not lying", Harry explained, "I was moving my stuff to Professor Lupin's room. I talked to him and he said I could stay there"

"Oh...", Fred blushed with embarrassment.

"It's okay", Harry half smiled, "I suppose it does look like I was running away. But I really haven't anywhere to go, and I've learned the hard way that running away only brings you back here in time"

"If Hermione did something like that Harry...she obviously doesn't respect you. And you obviously can do a lot better than her", Fred assured him.

"I just feel like I was stabbed in back. If anyone why did it have to be Ron?", Harry questioned.

"I know what you mean. And I would totally understand if you never forgave Ron", Fred started.

"I see a but coming", Harry sighed.

Fred smiled, "But...you would be giving up on a friendship. A friendship that you don't find between many people. I know you feel hatred for Ron right now but before you give up just make sure your doing the right thing"

"I want to believe what your saying, don't get me wrong I do", Harry stood up, "But...right now I don't know what I feel"

"Trust me Harry if you knew right now I'd be amazed. Now how about I help you carry some of this stuff", Fred suggested.

"Thanks Fred", Harry tried to smile.

"No problem Harry"






"Here to lecture me some more Fred?", Ron asked seeing his older brother at his side for the second time that day.

"I'm here to let you know I talked to Harry", Fred started, "But if you don't care to hear what I have to say...."

"No wait! Sorry Fred I'm being a real jerk to you today", Ron apologized.

"It's alright", Fred shrugged his shoulders, "Believe it or not you're chance of a friendship with Harry is still hanging on by a thread"

Hearing this Ron looked up and Fred and smiled, "Really?"

"Yes but like I said it's hanging on by almost nothing", Fred explained.

"But I thought he would hate me...", Ron stated out loud.

"I don't think he hates you. But then again he said himself he really doesn't know how to feel right now. Except that he feels he's been stabbed in the back by you and Hermione", Fred frowned.

"So what do you think I should do?", Ron asked.

"My advice? You sure you want my advice?", Fred questioned Ron.

"Yes, I want your advice", Ron responded.

"My advice is to leave him alone for a while. Let him think things through. His heads messed up right now and he just needs some time to think", Fred explained.

Ron frowned, "I don't like your advice"

"Patience Ron, patience", Fred reminded him, "as for Hermione....well I'm not sure there's anything left"

"Why would he be madder and Hermione than me?", Ron asked confused.

"Because Hermione was his girlfriend. And your may not understand this because you haven't had much experience but, you have different thoughts on girlfriend and best friends. Girlfriends are supposed to be loyal, as best friends but when you catch your girlfriend kissing another guy it hurts worse", Fred tried to explain.

"I understand I think. It's confusing but I think I understand", Ron answered, "But what about Hermione I mean she's my friend too..."

"Ron first I would worry about getting Harry's friendship back. In time if that happens I'm sure he'd respect the fact that you were friends with Hermione. But you've got a decision to make Ron, and it's not something anyone can do for you. If you do have feelings for Hermione and you do decide to go out with her, I assure you don't bother wasting your time with Harry. But if you want Harry's friendship you'll forget about them, no matter how much it hurts because Ron, if Hermione let this happen to Harry she could do the same to you", Fred explained.

"Fred?", Ron spoke up.

"Yeah?", Fred asked.

"Thanks for everything you did today. I mean for me and mostly for being there for Harry", Ron looked up toward his brother, "and thanks for not listening to me and getting involved"

"Hey it's my duty as your brother to look after you. And as all of us always have felt it, Harry's apart of our family blood or not. I also felt it was my duty to look after Harry, because he's our brother to", Fred replied.

Ron smiled ready to speak but Fred did first, "Don't be surprised when Harry's stuff is gone. He didn't run away he's still here"

Ron felt confused, "Where did he go?"

"I'm not so sure he'd want me to tell you that", Fred replied, "Now, I've got quidditch practice this afternoon so I have to get going"

"Alright and thanks again Fred", Ron watched Fred walk up toward his dormitory.

"Just use your brain Ron, you know exactly what you should do"







"Harry, are you sure you want to do this? It's going to make things more awkward isn't it?", Professor Lupin asked later that day as Harry sat on the floor going through his things.

"Do you not want me here?", Harry asked.

"That's not what I meant", Professor Lupin started, "I meant with Ron"

"I don't think I can honestly right now sleep in the same room as Ron", Harry explained.

"Wait what time is it?", Lupin suddenly looked at his watch then toward Harry again, "Harry you know your supposed to be in potions class"

"I know, I just didn't feel like dealing with Snape today", Harry announced.

"You can't just skip class you know that", Lupin scolded Harry.

"I'm sorry but Malfoy, Snape, Ron, and Hermione all in one class? I'm not sure I could handle it", Harry suddenly reached inside his truck and felt a book, "What's this?"

"I don't know", Lupin responded.

"I didn't put this here", Harry suddenly thought of something, "Fred"

"It looks like a photo album to me', Lupin replied.

Professor Lupin was shocked when Harry through the book across the room. He walked toward where it had fallen and picked it up. Indeed it was a photo album. It was filled with pictures of Ron, Harry, and Hermione.

"I can't believe he'd throw trash like that in here", Harry complained.

"To some extent Harry you know you have to be a little less upset. You're going to go through a ton of breakups in your life", Lupin flipped through the book.

"Did you?", Harry suddenly asked.

"Well sure I did", Professor Lupin laughed, "Even Sirius has, although he was usually the one who broke up with the girls....so maybe that's a bad example"

Harry smiled, "Did he really?"

"Oh yes, Sirius went out with almost every girl in Hogwarts", Professor Lupin laughed, "Except your mother, she's the only one who saw through his act"

"Act?", Harry asked.

"Oh yes he had a routine alright. Take the girl out for dinner a few times, decide if it's someone he wants to date. Always decide no, and dump her a few days later", Professor Lupin explained.

"That's terrible!", Harry laughed.

"But do you see where I'm going? Everyone has to deal with things like this. We look back on them when were older and laugh", Professor Lupin replied.

"So your saying you think it's funny?", Harry became offended.

"Of course not Harry", Professor Lupin answered, "Let me rephrase this in another way. Your going to go through at least a dozen girls before you truly can say you found the right girl. You learn to forgive and forget. There's really no use dwelling on the past. You just vow to do things differently next time"

"Your right", Harry finally stated walking toward the door.

"Where are you going?", Professor Lupin asked.

"I have to talk to Ron"



Author's Note: I completely forgot to put an author's note in my last chapter. But anyway I heard fantastic news today. The first Harry Potter trailer will be playing in the previews for the movie Scooby Doo that enters theaters this Friday. Freddie Prinze Jr.'s in it so well there's at least two good things that'll come out of the movie! On with my thank you's:

Harriet: Yeah Maggie's a piece of work eh?

Sassee Sam: Yeah I feel bad for Sirius too. But mostly right now I feel bad for poor Harry.

Hyper Princess: Have you not been getting my emails for updates? If you haven't let me know but otherwise you don't have to keep reminding me to email you. I have a button that stores all the people on my list and that way I'll never forget anyone.

Greytail: That could possibly be because she wants to pretend Harry is James? Hmm never thought about it, but I really don't like her myself! She's a fun character to write though! And flame? I didn't really take it as a flame. Mainly because believe me I've had some pretty nasty flames from other stories which aren't posted on here any longer.

Malena: Dance was last night! It was so much fun!

Zoora: I agree with what you said about Hermione. She's a kid too, and everyone expects to much out of her. Although...I think I made a ton of people hate her after this chapter :(.

Summersun: Yeah I don't contacts so I really don't know!

Anie: I try to have confidence but every time I do, I get a chapter with not a lot of reviews and that makes me rethink that confidence. And thanks for the compliment!

Sailor Sol: Yeah, Maggie is a piece of work.

Someone: Yeah those two stories were deleted. I conducted a poll type thing with the people who receive my newsletter and it was decided that after I finished this story I would start a new story instead of continuing that one.

Hedwig: Well then I'd better write fast!

WillowGyrl29:It's hard to predict exactly but I want to finish up this story so there will probably be chapters updated quite frequently.

Nicky: No slash planned. The story itself is almost complete.

As of right now we have 283 reviews! Which is already a number from my dreams but as I stated my goal is 300. Were so close people! If we get 300 reviews by the time this story is complete I'll post chapter one to my next story (which is already complete) the same day as this story closes!

I hope that is somewhat of an incentive to review! So as always please review!
