AN ABRUPT END:
A car door slammed, and startled Harry Potter out of his daydream. It
was five weeks into the summer holidays, and Harry was sick of the Dursleys. Harry
was having trouble sleeping as he kept having nightmares of Voldemort's return. He
hated living with the Dursleys but appreciated the reasons why he had to.
That night Harry was lying in bed with his eyes wide open wishing for
daylight. He heard a loud crack and sat up, panic-stricken. There was movement
outside his bedroom door, and he scrambled around in the dark looking for his wand.
The door opened slowly and squeaked loudly. Harry sat, paralysed with fear. A
shadow creped towards him, and Harry's fear mounted. The shadow placed a hand on
his shoulder, and put a finger to its lips. Harry squinted but couldn't see without his
glasses. He struggled against the shadow and opened his mouth, but the shadow spoke
to him urgently, "No Harry, its me."
Harry paused he recognised that voice.
"Professor Lupin?" The shadow nodded.
"Quickly pack your things and come downstairs." Harry nodded, and scurried around
trying to locate everything. Lupin took Hedwig's cage downstairs, and Harry
followed lugging his case behind him. When they had reached the bottom stair, Harry
saw Nnymphadora Tonks, and grinned at her.
"Wotcher, Harry! We're taking you to Headquarters but we have to get Hermione on
the way." Harry nodded, and followed her outside.
"I've left your Aunt and Uncle a note," whispered Lupin as they left," just telling
them you'd see them next summer."
"I keep telling you not to bother. They won't care anyway."
Tonks smiled, and stuck her wand out. The knight bus appeared with a loud bang, and
once again Harry was amazed that the muggles never heard it. They were greeted by
the grinning face of Stan Shunpike," Harry Potter!" Lupin pushed the money into his
hand and steered Harry into a seat.
As the bus began to move, Harry looked at Lupin expectantly, but he
shook his head, "not here Harry."
The bus came to an abrupt halt and Tonks flew from her seat, making Harry laugh
uncontrollably. As a grinning Lupin pulled her back into her seat, Hermione paid Stan
and hugged Harry tightly. She didn't ask any questions but looked puzzled just the
same. As they began to discuss the summer, the bus jolted again, and poor Tonks fell
to the floor again. As she stood up, Harry and Hermione giggled, and Lupin ushered
them off the bus. They all called goodbye to Stan and the bus flashed out of sight.
Harry realised that he didn't have a clue where he was, and Tonks began
to lead the way down an alleyway, and then another, and another. They walked for
what seemed like an hour, until they finally came to rest outside a house. Lupin
knocked on the door, and a pretty woman came to the door. She beckoned for them to
enter, and they did so. When they were all safely seated in the living room with hot
drinks Lupin introduced them.
"Harry, Hermione, Tonks this is Gemma Hawes. We went to school with her twin
sister, Lozzie, but Gemma's a muggle. We're transporting by port key to headquarters
in case we were followed because there was less of the Order available to come and
get you. They're all busy with other things."
Gemma smiled, "Its nice to meet you both. I've heard a lot about you. Both good and
bad." She laughed at the last part. Hermione frowned.
Lupin elaborated, "She was suggested by Snape. She developed a friendship with him
when we were at school. She was constantly sneaking into the castle to be with
Lozzie. Lozzie was another big fan of the secret tunnels at Hogwarts. They were a
couple of years below us though. Dumbledore agreed that this was the safest way so
Snape got in contact with her, and we set this all up."
"I was very surprised when Severus contacted me. We don't see much of each other,
as you probably know he's not a big fan of the muggle world. I thought he was great
when we were at school. I believe that he was just misunderstood as a child. Lozzie
hates him though, and the feelings mutual. She had a huge crush on Sirius, although I
think that he was the only one unaware of it. We kept getting into so much trouble for
sneaking me into the castle. But I missed my sister, and she missed me. I also began
to visit to see Severus, though I don't think he was as keen as me. He did seem to like
me though, or I guess he wouldn't have suggested my house as a safe house." Harry
thought that Gemma seemed very nice, and couldn't believe that Snape was friends
with a muggle, and a friendly on at that! Tonks entered the room with an old clock in
her hand. "Everyone ready?"
They all nodded.
"It was nice to meet you," said Gemma, "and it was nice to see you again Remus, tell
Sirius and Severus that I said hello." Lupin nodded and gave her a brief hug before
taking hold of the clock. The others did likewise, and as they waved to Gemma, the
familiar tug pulled them away.
Hope you like the story! Please review!!! It would make me feel so much better! Don't worry the rest of my story is soon to follow. This is simply a start-I have much to add, but I need to work out how to use the stupid computer properly first, so please be patient!!!
