A/N: This may make no sense. Sorry, deal with it. I took the liberty of making Harry a year older than he should be. I just felt like it. So sue me.

Finding Healing

Chapter 2

Harry looked up at the two Warriors, "I'm going to East Cape?"

"Absolutely," Gwen answered.

"Right away, as a matter of fact," Marion added. "If you…"

"Wait a minute!" Uncle Vernon bellowed. "You can't just waltz in here and take Harry off with out our permission!"

"If he wants to go we most certainly can!" Marion snapped. "I think you would be hard put to stop us."

Harry watched in amazement. Marion's eyes were practically sparking and her right hand strayed to her left hip. With a shock he realized that that was where she would keep her sword.

"Marion, calm down," Gwen sounded exasperated. "Why don't you help Harry get his stuff? I'll talk to them." Marion began to relax a bit and her hand went back to her side. "Lauries, I swear you've been so tense lately. Go." Gwen turned to his aunt and uncle, "I have a letter…"

"This way," Harry said to Marion.

As they walked up the stairs Marion said, "I'm sorry about that. I…"

"Don't be," Harry cut in. "I loved the look on his face. I hope he won't hurt Gwen."

"Nah, she can hold her own."

When they reached his room Harry quickly began to stuff things in his trunk.

"Gwen's a much better people person than I am. That's why she's an in-betweener and I'm not."

"What's an in-betweener?" Harry asked as he tossed his books into his trunk.

"Someone who works for East Cape in the outside world. They travel between both places. Normally I wouldn't have come but Dumbledore wanted me to."

"Hmm," shutting his trunk, Harry looked at her. Marion was leaning against the doorframe and looking slightly uncomfortable with her surroundings. "Professor Dumbledore said I should ask you what the runes on your sword meant."

"Fight Well, Die Hard. It's the motto of the Warriors. Are you ready?"

"Absolutely," Harry grabbed one end of the trunk and heaved it up. He watched in amazement as Marion reached for the other end and lifted it as if there was nothing in it.

"How did you do that?"

"Do what?"

"Lift this as if It were nothing."

"Spend fifteen years studying swordplay and you'd be able to do that too.

When they reached the bottom of the stairs they found a rather exasperated looking Gwen and a sullen bunch of Dursleys waiting for them.

"They have agreed to let you come with us," Gwen said. Harry wasn't surprised, the opportunity to get rid of him for the rest of the summer was too good to miss. "We'll take good care of him," Gwen said to his uncle.

"Ready?" Marion asked.

"Yep," Harry answered.

Sorry that was so short but I've got a sever case of writer's block and this was all I had pre-written. I'll try and update soon.

Thanks to my reviewer, I don't think Harry and Marion will get together (Marion is kinda busy fighting off evil in my novel) but you never know.
