Can't Stay Away

Disclaimer: I do not own any of J.K Rowling's wonderful characters. Although quite frankly like every other person in the world with I did!




Summary: Five years after he disappeared, Harry is discovered. How will he react when he is pulled back into the magic community after all these years?




This is the sequel to Abandoned Hero in case your choosing not to read that first I'll give you a quick summary:


Harry's seventh year starts with Voldemort being dead. He soon discoveries Voldemort isn't dead and can't handle things. On the day of his graduation he disappears.




Now that is a really really quick summary of an eleven chapter story. There is much more to the story but those are the main things you need to know to read this one. I still advise reading it first...but it's your choice!




Chapter Thirteen: Runaway….Nathan?

When Harry woke up only a hour later, he felt as if someone had thrown a brick at his head. Opening his eyes he noticed he was no longer outside, but lying in a bed. Then it hit him. And he remembered what had happened before he passed out again.

Jumping out of the bed Harry raced downstairs, "Ron? Hermione? Sirius?"

"Harry!", came a voice from behind him, "what are you doing down here…you should be upstairs resting"

"Hermione…we have to get to Hogwarts. We just have to", Harry said with panic in his voice.

"You couldn't take on the first year student right now Harry. There is no way I'm letting you go there, even if it is nothing", Hermione grabbed for Harry's wrist, "now come on upstairs"

Pulling back Harry stared at her, "Hermione don't you get it? Whenever I have a dream they usually turn into reality. He's coming to Hogwarts, tonight"

"We did take you serious", Hermione stared into Harry's determined eyes, "Hogwarts is being evacuated as we speak. They just started…it should only take a few hours"

"Hours!", Harry jumped up, "Wait a minute what time is it?"

"Quarter after eight", Hermione glanced down at her watch, "Harry is there something else from the dream….you've to tell me if there is"

Shutting his eyes for a moment Harry tried to replay it through his mind, "Nine o'clock Hermione….they're never going to get everyone out in time. We've got to go warn them…"

"No!", Hermione took Harry by surprise, "I will go but you will stay here"

"Don't be stupid I'm going with you", Harry grabbed his jacket from the couch where it was laying, "Now come on we're wasting time!"

"I'm under strict orders to make sure you stay here Harry….and I am going to do that", Hermione shut her eyes in thought, "Harry I'm really really sorry about this"

"What are you talking about?", Harry looked up in shock as he saw Hermione had her wand outstretched pointing at him, "Hermione!"

"Petrificus totalus", Hermione softly muttered watching in horror as the spell hit Harry. Immediately she saw him fall to the ground as she tried to reassure herself, "You had to do it…"

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"What if it's true….what are we going to do? Harry's nowhere ready to take Voldemort on…he nearly died just because of the pain in his scar", Sirius glanced around at the men sitting around him.

"Right now", Dumbledore began, "we worry about getting the students out"

"What if it's a false alarm? We'll be the laughing stock of the wizardry world", Severus Snape added.

"I've feared this would happen for a long time and Harry…Harry's dreams have always been somewhat warning signs we never took seriously. Do you want to be responsible for not taking it seriously?", Dumbledore looked across the table at Snape.

"Of course not", Snape replied.

Suddenly their attention turned across the room to the door. Where Hermione stood a panic stricken look upon her face as she tried to catch her breath, "Harry…he remembered something else"

"What is it Hermione?", Ron rushed over to her side.

"Nine o'clock", Hermione said in a half whisper voice.

"What time is it now?", Ron asked her gently.

Looking down at her watch Hermione replied, "Eight thirty, we have exactly a half hour"

"Wait a minute", Sirius looked over at Hermione and Ron, "Hermione if you're here….then where's Harry?"

"At home", Hermione explained.

"Alone?", Ron looked over at her with horror.

"Well…yes", Hermione suddenly felt stupid.

"Dammit Hermione how could you be so stupid", Ron muttered, "Come on Sirius let's go make sure he's still there"

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Did Hermione really do that? Harry laughed to himself rubbing his head. Finally he'd been able to stand up and knew exactly where he needed to be. He just had no clue as to how to get here.

Startled he jumped up when he heard a knock on the door. Cautiously he walked over and slowly opened the door. He was relived when he saw Mrs. Weasley.

"Is uh…is everything alright?", Harry looked over her curiously as she slipped into the house.

"Oh Harry it's Nathan…he was in the kitchen baking with me and the next minute he was gone. I can't find him anywhere!", Mrs. Weasley said in a panic stricken voice.

For a moment Harry had to pause to remember who Nathan was then it hit him, "Hermione and Ron…there not here"

"We've got to find him before they find out", Mrs. Weasley's eyes began searching the house, "I thought he might've come here"

"Here you stay here and er…make yourself at home. I'll go look for him", Harry explained, "I'll be back soon"

"Please find him Harry…", Mrs. Weasley babbled on watching Harry walk out of the house.

"Okay", Harry muttered to himself, "Where exactly am I going to look…"

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"You lost my son…", Ron said frantically after Sirius, Remus, and him had arrived back at Sirius' house.

"One minute he was there playing and the next he was just….he disappeared Ron!", Mrs. Weasley pulled her youngest son into a hug.

"Great so now Harry and Nathan are missing?", Remus rolled his eyes, "this is turning out to be an interesting day"

"You didn't have to come", Ron glared at Remus not enjoying the remark he'd just made.

"Ron get a hold of yourself", Sirius jumped between the two men, "we'll fine them both we will…"

"What was he thinking anyway? He'd never know where to begin to look!", Ron cursed growing angrier by the second.

"It's my fault", Mrs. Weasley said tiredly, "I was just in such a panic…what was I thinking…I made him go out there"

"Mum you should get home. I'll send Hermione over", Ron explained to his mum trying to calm her down.

"He's right it's not going to do any good for us to all jump at each other", Sirius agreed trying his hardest not to show the fear he was filling deep down inside.

"Come on let's go. We haven't a moment to spare", Remus motioned for the two men to follow him.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"I thought we were past this Potter", Draco Malfoy laughed seeing Harry Potter walking toward him down the street.

"Draco", Harry mouthed out loud, "No…I'm not running away. Ron's son…Nathan's run off somewhere"

"So your rubbing off on him are you?", Draco joked staring at Harry who seemed to have a lost look on his face, "You haven't a clue where to look do you?"

"Not exactly…I mean I really hardly know the kid to start. And Ron and everyone's at Hogwarts so.."

"Hogwarts? Why what's up?", Draco looked up at Harry.

"You don't even wanna know…but I'll have to explain later. It's imperative that we find Nathan before…", Harry trailed on.

"Before what?", Draco raised an eyebrow at Harry.

"Look there's some freaky shit going on right now…Voldemort's attacking Hogwarts tonight", Harry took a deep breath after saying.

"Then what the hell are you doing strutting around town by yourself? Dam Potter…we've gotta get you out of here", Draco grabbing onto Harry's wrist.

"Hold it…I told Mrs. Weasley I'd find her grandson and I will do that", Harry said pulling away from Draco.

"Look leave it to people who know a little more than how to levitate a feather…someone will find him. You know kids they'll turn up eventually. I mean you did didn't you?", Draco laughed at the expression Harry had on his face upon hearing this.

"I'm not a kid Malfoy", Harry snapped taking a moment to glare at his old enemy.

"No your not. Your right about that. And Sirius and everyone really do treat you like you are one. But five years ago you were", Draco replied.

"Do we really have to start with this crap again? I have my reasons and…wait a minute this really isn't your business to start!", Harry exclaimed jumping a step away from Draco.

"Come on were leaving. Your not safe here", Draco ignored Harry.

"Where are we going?", Harry asked puzzled.

"Were going to Sirius' house and I'm not going to hear a word out of your mouth until we get there", Draco commanded.

"And who are you to boss me around?", Harry suddenly felt as if he were a child and Draco were the parent.

"I'm someone who's got a wand and can beat the hell out of you", Draco grinned at Harry.

"Yeah well I…"

"I'm just kidding Potter! Calm down…", Draco bit his lip trying not to laugh.

"You are? So then I'm allowed to talk and you're not going to send the death curse after me?", Harry glanced at Draco curiously.

"Oh no I'm still serious about you keeping your mouth shut", Draco nodded at Harry fishing for something in his pocket.

"But you said…are you trying to confuse me into something? Because…."

"Would you just shut up!", Draco finally snapped, "Your starting to annoy me"

"You know what I've got such a headache from talking to you…I can't even think anymore. So if were going then let's go", Harry pushed his hand through his black hair.

"So then it worked", Draco muttered grinning like mad.

"What worked?", Harry asked curiously.

"I finally got you to shut up"

Author's Note: Thanks for all my reviews! I really got a lot more than expected! So here goes:

Nicky: It looks that way doesn't it? And did you seriously enjoy them? Because…I myself hated them. But they were my first and you've gotta start with something!

Katerina*Elise: Oh my gosh! Thanks so much! Every time I hear someone say that I feels even better…and every time I wonder if I'll ever be told it again. So far so good!

Forever-long-gone: Well I hate anchovies so…guess I'm forced to continue!

Malena: *Stares at Malena's review in awe* Well I guess that explains everything on this side of the road!

Summersun: Yeah I'm real sorry the updates were kinda nothing for a while…but I'm back on my feet again.

Sons: Nope not quite yet. That would really be jumping into things and with this fick that's the opposite of my goal. You see most of the time I get so excited and I rush into things. This time that's not going to happen. At least if my fingers can help it….

Amy: Yeah I know I just keep throwing rocks in his road don't I? I'm so evil…but what kind of a Harry Potter story doesn't have Harry in danger ever ten lines?

Hedwig: You know I always hated Draco until I read my friend Pathetic Invaders stories, along with someone that she'd recommended to me which I can't remember the author of right now. And like I keep telling everyone things have happened in the past five years. Things Harry doesn't know about yet. Things that have to do with Draco Malfoy.

Pathetic Invader: Hey it's my partner in crime! If I'm the little convict does that make you the older more intelligent convict? *Thinks about this for a second* Hey wait a minute that's not fair! And what's it with you and Harry croaking? I'm not going to make Harry croak! At least…not just yet. Ha made ya think!

Whoa…I wrote a lot to some of you people. Guess I'm in a talkative…err rather typeative mood today. I'm really starting to get into this story which is good news for you guys, the readers. I've actually be proud of the turnaround I've made because for a while there nothing was happening. But thank you so much for sticking with me through my writer's block. It'll be worth it. I promise!
