Chapter 6-
Alex woke up first. She stretched her legs and walked out to the kitchen. She heard a faint knocking. She looked out the window to see an owl.
"Bloody hell you'd think they'd get the drift" She said, opening the window she snatched the letter and she felt a weird sensation behind her navel. Then she noticed she was no longer in the cabin. She was surrounded by a bunch of people in robes.
"Who's this?" Tonks asked.
"That would be Potters new girlfriend" Alex recognized that voice. It was Snape.
"Where's Potter?" Mad eye snapped at her.
"What the fuck is going on?" She whispered.
"Watch your language," Someone said.
Alex noticed the letter on the floor and she grabbed it quickly. The weird sensation behind her navel happened again and she was back in the cabin. She threw the letter in the bin and ran into Harry's room.
"HARRY! HARRY!" She shook him violently.
Harry opened his eyes.
"What is it Alex?"
"I just touched this letter and I ended up with a bunch of wizards looking at me," Alex said.
"Oh no" Harry said. "It was a Portkey"
"A what?" Alex asked.
"What time is it?" Harry asked.
"About seven am. Why?"
"We should get out of here," Harry said.
"Good idea" Alex said. "That went well," Lupin remarked.
"Was she a muggle?" Tonks asked.
"Probably"
"She looked like she hadn't had a descent meal in weeks" Mrs. Weasly commented.
"I think that we should try a situater spell again," Mad Eye said.
Conversation broke out in the order meeting. Everything went quiet when Dumbledore walked in.
"Did it work?" He asked.
"No. We got his girlfriend instead" Snape sneered.
"Harry hasn't got a girlfriend," Mrs. Weasly said.
"Look Molly, maybe Harry is going out with this girl. You don't know" Lupin said.
"I think Harry is a lot of pain and he needs some help," She said.
Remarks began to get shouted from every direction of the room.
Harry and Alex were walking along the highway.
"It looks like these people really care for you Harry" Alex said.
"Yeah. They do" Harry whispered.
"I think we can cut through the bush land" Alex said.
"What if we get lost?" Harry asked.
Alex shrugged. "There isn't that much bush"
Harry followed Alex down the ditch and through the trees. Walking through the scrub, Alex and Harry didn't say a word. They continued to walk for a few hours in silence until they came to a small country town.
"We can't stay here, it's a country town, they'll know we're not from around here" Alex remarked
Harry nodded and followed Alex as she made her way through the town. Alex sat down in the gutter and Harry sat beside her.
"You're lucky" Alex piped up suddenly
"What?" Harry asked
"You're lucky to have friends who care about you that much, I wish I did" Alex whispered
Harry looked at her "But you had friends didn't you?"
Alex sighed and said "No, everyone knew how crazy my family was, no one would touch me with a ten foot stick"
"But you told me about your friends when we were on the train" Harry said, he couldn't believe it, Alex was a nice person, why on earth wouldn't anyone not want to be her friend?
"That was when I was eleven, that was before mum met my step dad, before we moved before everything spun out of control" Alex looked as if she was going to cry.
Harry was in shock, he knew what it felt like not to have friends.
"Mum moved with him because she was off her face half the time and she couldn't care less as long as she had someone to sleep with" Alex explained in a bitter tone.
Harry was silent
"He was a horrible guy; he was the type that preyed on people like my mum. When we moved it was awful. The people seemed to know the minute we moved in that there was something seriously wrong with our family and they were horrible to us" Alex angrily wiped the tears that had escaped.
"I'm sorry' Harry whispered
"You know what the worse part of it was?" Alex said
Harry looked at her
"Mum thought he was the best guy on earth, much better than my real dad, I remember one night she threw a bottle at me when I told her that he hit me and said I was too much like my dad. I judged people before I knew them""
Alex finished and Harry was stunned, he also felt guilty, here he was thinking he had the worse life on earth when there was people like Alex around. The two of them sat in silence until someone asked
"Are you two alright?"
Harry looked up, it was a policeman.
"yes, we're fine" Harry answered
"You don't look it, looks like you haven't had a bath or a decent meal in days" He remarked
"We're fine" Alex said
"And where would your parents be?" he continued, ignoring Alex.
"Dead" Harry said before thinking
Alex reacted quickly "Yeah, Alan here lives with me, he's my cousin. My parents are at the service station"
"What's your name?" he asked Alex
"Lucy" She answered
"Do you have a last name?"
Alex blurted the first thing that came to mind "Potter"
Harry was a little surprised that she'd used his name but tried not to show it.
"Lucy Potter and Alan...."
"Carson" Harry said, he decided to use Alex's name since she'd used his.
"Ah" He said then turning around he walked back down the street to his car. He opened the door and spoke into the radio.
"Run" Alex hissed
Harry stood up and began to run, Alex followed him.
"HEY!" The policeman called
Neither of them turned back, Alex and Harry jumped down the drain. They kept running until they were short of breath.
"That was close" Alex gasped
"Yeah" Harry said.
It was about four o'clock and Alex decided they couldn't make it to the next town.
"We'll sleep here" Alex said, gesturing towards the little tunnel created by a bridge over the drain.
"What about food?" Harry asked
"We'll have to go hungry, sorry" Alex apologized
"That's alright" Harry said
"Harry was sighted near a little country town, west of the sunshine coast" Dumbledore announced to the order.
"By who?" Lupin asked
"A policeman, I'm glad we informed the police about Harry" Dumbledore answered.
"Was that girl with him?" Mrs. Weasly asked
"Yes, from what we heard from the police her name is Alexandra Carson, she ran away from her home about a month ago and has been on the run ever since" Dumbledore said
"What are we waiting for?" Moody growled "let's go get Potter"
"I agree" Mrs. Weasly said.
Dumbledore sighed; it wasn't going to be easy.
Alex and Harry were sleeping on the hard concrete ground, when Harry heard a noise.
"Over here" a male voice said.
Harry sat up and soon he had a light flashing in his face.
"I found them!" Someone called.
Harry felt someone grab his arm and pull him up. Harry yelled out when suddenly his scar felt like someone had dug a knife into it. He was soon engulfed into an eternal darkness.
Harry awoke to hear a beeping sound. Blinking a few times he realized he was in a hospital ward.
"Alex?" He croaked
A nurse walked into the room. "Hello, Harry right?" she asked
"Where's Alex?" He asked
"She's in the ward across the hall" The nurse answered
"What happened?" Harry asked
The nurse shrugged "I don't know, you and that girl were brought in by police"
Harry felt his insides ice, police; they had been caught by police.
"Why did they bring us here?" Harry asked
"They were not sure if you were ill or hurt by the looks you just are extremely exhausted and a little starved" She answered then went off to tend to other patients.
Harry got out of the bed and walked across the hall, Alex was in the bed nearest to the window. She was sleeping.
"Alex?" He whispered
She stirred and sat up. "Hey Harry, what happened last night? You screamed then just passed out. I tried to get the police away from us but they were a lot stronger than me"
Harry sat down beside her, "I don't know, my scar just started hurting and I passed out"
Alex looked at him strangely and then she whispered very quietly "Harry, you are the only male that has ever stood by me and hasn't tried to take advantage of me"
Harry looked a little stunned at this then Alex leaned forward and kissed him. Harry knew he should have pulled back and told Alex he wasn't someone to become close with but Harry couldn't. He kissed her back, "This is so much better than my kiss with Cho" He thought
Alex pulled away "I'm sorry if I was a little strong" she said
Harry looked into her eyes, their was something about them that made him feel.....safe. Harry smiled "You are the only person I've met who has been through more emotional turmoil than me"
"We're just two tortured souls who found each other" She laughed
Harry smiled and began to kiss her again.
