Chapter Eight

"The trip"

When he arrived in the Headmaster's office, Harry found Dumbledore waiting for him; he had in a hand an object, something similar to a clock; "Come on, Harry.while you were preparing yourself, I equipped for you a Portkey, which will bring you to Diagon Alley; there, you'll change some Galleons in Muggle money, then you'll go to King's Cross, where you'll take the train for Cardiff; when you will be there, you will have to find a way to reach Godric's Hollow; take this map, it will show you the right direction; and take also this camping tent."

"Thank you, Professor!" Harry replied, taking those objects

"It's nothing, Harry.and I recommend, as Moody always says."

"Constant Vigilance!! I know, I know."

"Yes, Harry, because I just received the new that many Death Eaters are moving, directed to Godric's Hollow, so you could met them."

"Mm.ok.I'll be careful, don't worry, Professor." Harry replied

"Well.now, go!!"

and immediately Harry, who was catching the clock, or what it was, felt himself transported away, rotating on himself, until, after some seconds, he landed, crashing on the ground, in front of the Gringott's.

He entered to change the money, then, through the "Leaky Cauldron", he reached the Muggle world.he boarded on the underground, and after some stops, he reached the station; after having bought a ticket for Cardiff, he climbed on the train, just in time, and found a free seat.he sat down, and started examining the map; on it, there was a flashing arrow, indicating the direction he had to follow; he noticed that probably, the fastest way to reach Godric's Hollow was to hitchhike; so, he put the map in a pocket, and, for his surprise, he found there an amulet, with a small parchment, from Hermione:

"Harry, this amulet gives you the chance to see me.I have another of this, to see you.I'm so worried!! Your Hermione"

Harry smiled bitterly, thinking that he could also not see her anymore, but he tried to remove this thought from his mind, and looked the landscape, noticing that the weather wasn't good; it was cloudy; "Not exactly the best, for travelling by feet" he thought, confirming his choice of the hitchhiking as transport way after the train; after a while, he fell asleep, sure that on the train he won't met Death Eaters.

A couple of hours later, he woke up, and hurried down of the train.it was already empty, they were arrived at least since twenty minutes. On the bench, he started to search the exit, and saw a bar; he was starving, so he stopped there to eat something.after this, however, he decided to search a place to pass the night.it was already evening, and he could not hitchhike nobody at that hour.

He found a room in a small hotel just out of the station, so he signed it and finally rested.

Next morning, he looked the map, took the direction that it showed, and he reached a speedway; he stopped, trying to hitchhike someone:

"Excuse me" he told to an old woman, who stopped for asking him where he had to go "in which direction are you going? I have to go to the west, to Godric's Hollow."

"I'm sorry, boy, I'm going to the north." and she went away.

After about an hour and an half, he started to feel discouraged, when finally a man let him to go in his car, bringing him in the right direction; after a couple of hours, the man stopped, saying: "Well, now I have to leave you.I have to change road.you can reach your destination through the forest, there.it is the shortest way."

"Thank you, sir." Harry said, then he started to walk toward the trees.he walked for hours, and then he conjured a quick lunch.for his luck, Professor Flitwick had already taught them those spells.in the afternoon he continued to walk until finally he reached a clearing, so he settled the tent Dumbledore gave him, had his dinner, then, exhausted, he threw himself on the bed.he took the amulet, and grasped it, closing his eyes, thinking about Hermione.he could now see her.she was walking nervously in the common room, grasping her amulet.then, she seemed relieved.

"She surely saw me here, still perfectly sane."he thought, but he was interrupted by a noise, as a little explosion.he stayed to hear, and after some minutes, he heard a familiar voice: Bellatrix Lestrange! And she wasn't alone.there was a man with her.

Harry congratulated with himself for having disillusioned the tent, then caught his wand, and when it seemed that they were passed near him, he decided that he could not let them to overpass him. So he went out his tent, and, as an irresponsible, he shouted: "Lestrange! We meet again, finally!!"

Bellatrix turned, saw him, and smirked; then she said: "Potter.you are here.well.this is your end.Rockwood, let's go to kill him!!"

But Rockwood couldn't even move a muscle that Harry shouted: "Avada Kedavra!" and his body fell down, without life.Bellatrix seemed shocked, but only for a moment, then she cried: "Crucio!" "Protego!" Harry said, and while she was ready to do the same, he yelled: "Inverto!"

She was confused, thinking of being upside down, so she didn't reflect the "Protego" spell and was hit by her same curse, starting to cry in pain.she couldn't react, in those conditions, so Harry took advantage of this, using for other three times the "Cruciatus" curse on her, before killing her with another "Avada Kedavra".

He returned in the tent, and not seemed shocked for having killed two people.he knew that it was the only thing he could have done, in that situation.maybe Dumbledore would have done something else, but he was much stronger than Harry, and knew many more spells.thinking this, he fell asleep.

Next day, he started again to cross the forest by feet, and finally, at the beginning of evening, he reached his parent's house.it was still an heap of wreckage.for that night, he settled there, in the ruin.and he thought again, after a long time, in which way his parents died.and this thought, if sometimes he felt as an heavy thing fighting against the Dark side, always gave him the strength to go on in his battle.he had to do this for so much people.but before all the others, he had to do this for his parents.

Next day, he moved toward the castle, following the direction on the map, full of a new determination.
