This is a story I can't get out of my head so here it comes! Unlike Broken
Wands this story will not be updated everyday nevertheless I hope to update as
soon as often. Also unlike Broken Wands this is not a typical sixth year fic,
most characters from the books will not appear at all.
Disclaimer: Nothing of what you recognize belongs to me. Almost everything
belongs to JK Rowling.

Chapter 1 Privet Drive
Harry Potter lay awake early August the 1st in the smallest bed room of number
four privet drive. The night after his sixteenth birthday he had not been able
to sleep all night, he wasn't even tired. Sleep was not important anymore, at
least not now, he needed desperately to sort out his thoughts and feelings. It
had all happened so fast in the beginning of the summer all his emotions and
feelings had been torn, he had never thought he would feel alright again after
Sirius sudden death. Then she came along after the first week the same day the
Dursleys said they were go on a vacation to Majorca.

"Oh Duddeykins we got the tickets!" aunt Petunia exclaimed happily as her son
entered the kitchen and threw her bony arms around him.
"Ha!" Dudley said happily.
"We are leaving July the 28th and you better be gone by then boy" Uncle Vernon
told Harry menacingly. Mad Eye Moody's threat had been very hard on Vernon and
it didn't really come as surprise to Harry that they wanted to get rid of him
early this summer.
"The 28th" Harry repeated. Every other year since he started Hogwarts he would
have loved to be able to get away from the Dursleys so early. This year he
didn't "Where are you going?"
"To Majorca" Vernon said gloatingly "We will be there for four weeks"
"I'll send you a postcard" Dudley said stupidly.
"Right" Harry said trying to adjust to the new situation.
"Can't I just stay here?" He asked before he could stop himself.
All the Dursleys burst out laughing.
"Oh no boy we are not stupid" Vernon said "You will have to find some place else
to watch the news"
"Fine" Harry said and started to put food on his plate. The Dursleys enjoyed
lunch immensely and Harry hated every moment of it. He left quickly.
"Great! Just Great!" He said bitterly to himself as he walked up the stairs. He
had no idea of what to do now. He knew, he aught to inform the order that the
Dursley were leaving and that they have to arrange something else for him but he
didn't want to return to the magical world. He had had enough of it, it was
wonderful in every way but it had also caused him loads of misery starting with
his parent's death and now Sirius was dead and Dumbledore expected him to kill
Voldemort something even he couldn't do. He gritted his teeth and tried to write
a letter.
Dear Order of the Phoenix
My aunt and uncle are going to Majorca the 28th they say I have to be out by
then!
Yours forever
The-boy-who-lived
He crumpled the parchment up and threw it in the bin; he was too frustrated to
write decent letters.

He never told the order he was not allowed to stay at Privet Drive he just
scribbled a quick note to Dumbledore telling him he would be living alone on
Privet Drive until the start of term. The Dursleys would hate him for living in
their house but they couldn't hate him anymore then they all ready did so it
really didn't matter. Of course, he wouldn't have done any of that if she hadn't
encouraged him to screw the rest of the world and do what made him happy. She
had been right, he had never been as happy as he had been the last few days
alone with her on Privet Drive. His friends wanted to come and visit him now
that he had the entire house to himself but he had written back telling them
that his aunt and uncle only agreed to let him stay if he behaved himself and
didn't have any freaky friends over. It was another lie and he felt a little bad
about it but he wasn't ready to make their relationship public yet and neither
was she.
The early morning light started slowly to illuminate his room. He had never
noticed before how beautiful it was.
He was in love he knew it, it had been a little rushed in the beginning but now
he was sure of it. He had sometimes wondered if he could ever love a girl after
all that had happened to him, he had never been so wrong. He loved her with
every nerve in his body. It was totally insane loving somebody so much but he
couldn't help it and he wouldn't help it if he could. The beginning had been
very awkward and Harry had been very unsure of himself but she never made fun of
him for his stupid mistakes, she loved him, he knew it. Even if he was the most
dangerous boy to love, Voldemort would use her in any means necessary to get to
him.

"Hey! Where am I supposed to sit" She said in mock anger as Harry sat down in
the only swing was in good enough condition to sit in. Nobody had bothered
repairing the swings after Dudley and his gang had broken them last summer.
"Oh sorry" He muttered going red; he tended to go red all the time around her.
It was really embarrassing with some luck it was too dark for her too see "We
can take turns"
He groaned inwardly, he was supposed to take her for a nice evening walk and
they had ended up at the playground and he just had to say 'We can take turns'
As if they were small children.
She giggled and put some hair that had fallen down in her face behind her ear.
Her hair had gone almost black in the soft evening light.
"Hey I never noticed your necklace could glow" He said staring down at the stone
pendant that was hanging in a silver chain around her neck.
"Yeah, I know it's not supposed to it is broken" She said sadly "I think I broke
it when I fell on you a few days ago, it's been glowing red ever since"
"Oh I'm sorry, we should send it somewhere to have it repaired" Harry said "Or
we could ask Flitwick he could probably fix it"
"No I like it this way" She replied smiling sadly at it.
"Are you sure, I mean it's very nice as it is now but I bet it would be as nice
if it wasn't broken" He said cursing himself for rambling.
"I'm sure" She replied "Now it's my turn to swing"
Harry got up from the swing and she sat down "I'll push" he said and pushed her
gently on her back. He knew it was stupid she didn't really want to swing and he
knew it but he couldn't pass up an opportunity to touch her like that, it was
like the imperius he just had to do it.
"How come it's broken if it is glowing shouldn't it be the other way around?"
Harry asked her.
"No it's just really stupid, it's supposed to tell your emotions but it's very
old it's been in the family for generations it's not strange really that it
starts malfunctioning" She told him and jumped off the swing. She landed nimbly
in the sand a few feet away. That was one of the things he liked about her, the
way she moved her body it was so feminine.
"So what does red glowing mean?" Harry asked.
"It's so stupid" She said giggling.
"Tell me" He urged her grinning widely, he loved the way she giggled.
"All right" She said "It's supposed to be red if you love somebody and it's
supposed to glow if it's mutual… told you it was stupid!"
She laughed.
Harry didn't, he cried himself to sleep that night. He had feelings for her but
she only laughed as if it was the greatest joke of all time.
¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤
Harry smiled to himself he had been wrong all those weeks ago, he had never
considered the possibility that the necklace was not broken.
