Harry Potter and the new life
Chapter five – That most extraordinary girl
Please read, review and enjoy my attempts.
Harry woke exceptionally early again but it wasn't surprising seen as he had gone to bed so early the previous night. He got up out of bed and started to wash he didn't want to lie in a half sleep because that was when he was most vulnerable to dreams and unhappy thoughts. Harry washed and dressed but it was still too early to start shopping so he started to go through his things and his list. By the time he had read another chapter of his book, looked at the picture of his family and sorted his head out for the day there were noises in the street below.
Leaving his room, and locking the door even though all that was in there were yesterday's clothes Harry sat at the end of the table and ate some toast and had a bowl of hot chocolate before leaving. Harry shopped all day quiet comfortably on his own, he literally shopped until he returned to his rented room that evening and dropped on the bed and didn't move for over an hour but he refused to let himself go to sleep without emptying his mind no matter how physically wrecked he felt.
After sleeping lightly, slightly frightened someone might try and get in his head while he was vulnerable, Harry woke with plenty of time to get dressed in some decent clothes for once. He admired his choosing of clothes in the mirror for a moment or two before looking at his picture in his wallet then checking he had everything thing packed. Harry went down and ate a small, quick, breakfast before setting off confidently to the station. Getting all the way to the platform quiet sure no one was following him and waited for the train, with what seems like a lot of other people.
Sitting in the same seat so he could see the whole isle again the train quickly filled up and there weren't many seats left unlike Harry's journey down. The train stopped at it's second stop but the didn't really empty much if anything it got fuller, but Harry continued to look out of the window wondering if he had forgotten anything.
"Is anyone sitting here?" There was a girl talking to him obviously wanting the seat next to him, Harry figuring it wouldn't be bad to have some company and moved his bags above so she could sit down next to him. He wanted to talk to her because he had been a little bit lonely, but didn't have to confidence to start a conversation with a stranger especially a pretty girl like she was. Harry tried not to look at her but he watched her push her long hair out of her face while she moved things around in her bag. She was pretty Harry thought but she seamed to have a strong self sufficient air about her and her hair gave off a soft smell of strawberries every time she moved it out of her face (which seemed to happen surprisingly often). Finally Harry got the confidence to talk to her but she started talking first for him making it much easier.
"Have you come from London centre?" She asked with a hint of softness among lots of confidence.
"Yes, I've been down here a few days. What about you?" Harry added quickly slightly preoccupied with her hair still.
"Same really, I stopped off in London for a few days on my way north." Harry thought he best pay attention to the conversation otherwise he would say something silly.
"Where about are you going north?" He asked politely. But she smiled cheekily.
"I haven't actually decided yet I was just going to get off when I felt like it and see what happened." Harry thought this odd and wondered if what sort of person she was because he wanted to find out.
"What's your name?" Harry figured was a reasonable start to find out about her.
"Your not to laugh but my name's George." Harry found this odd but only smiled and didn't laugh.
"That's a normal name why would I laugh?" She looked at him as though he was dumb.
"Yes your right it is a normal name for a lad! Well then what's your name?" Harry didn't want to say Harry Potter because if there was any chance she was a witch she would know everything about him within and instant.
"My name is James." Harry decided he wasn't lying lots of people go by there second name rather than there first.
"That's not a silly name you're lucky your mother wasn't in a bad mood when she named you." I wouldn't know Harry thought but didn't want George to know all about him it might make her pity him and he hated it when that happens.
"Is George short for something or are you really called George?" Harry wasn't sure if he had over stepped the line or if she was just wondering the same as he had when he said his name was James, but after a moment she replied.
"George is short for Georgiana." Harry didn't think this silly no where near as bad as Draco.
"That a nice name why don't you like it?" She wondered why Harry had said it was nice.
"I don't like it because it's frilly and traditional and everyone used to say it was simply a couple of A's added on to a boy's name." She seemed to be been honest as far as Harry could tell.
"So you gave into them and called yourself George.' Harry looked slightly surprised she didn't like her name. 'I like it and I can think of much worse things to be called than Georgiana." She looked him in the eye not believing him.
"Oh you can, can you? What names are worse than mine?"
"Draco."
"You lie no one's called Draco."
"No I don't lie I know a lad at my school Draco, so your name isn't bad really." He was been honest and it seemed to make her more interested in him.
"Ok there are worse names than mine but that still doesn't make me like it. So call me George. Ok."
"Ok then George so where are you from?"
Harry sat talking with George for a long time about everything it seamed but Harry never said anything about his parents but they did have a laugh about his cousin Dudley. But equally George hardly said anything about her family so Harry didn't ask and quiet happily talked about everything else. Harry looked at the stop the train was pulling into and Harry felt bad because soon he would have to get off and may never see her again.
"Is it your stop soon?" She asked guessing his mind.
"Err, yes in about two or three. I don't really want to get off even though I know I have to." George was looking down the isle at something and Harry wondered what.
"In minuet look down to third person from the door on the right. I think someone's tailing you coz they have been watching you since we got on the train." Harry groaned quietly but looked over George's lap at who it was when she said it was clear.
"I thought I lost them at the pub." It wasn't Lupin but Harry was pretty sure he was doing the same job whoever it was.
"Do you know who it is?" She asked surprised.
"No I don't it's a different one to the one a managed to lose the day before yesterday but whoever it is they are following me on the same orders." She grinned with a sneaky but innocent look what Harry thought could mean she had a plan in her head. It wasn't a malicious face just a mischievous face.
"Is you stopping at the next on after this?"
"Yes."
"Would you like me to help you lose them once and for all when we get off the train?" When we get off the train Harry thought but agreed.
"Yes, what do you have in mind? She leaned in closely to Harry and whispered in his ear so the spy would never be able to hear.
"Well when I say follow me closely and don't make any noise and we can double back a few times hide and then wait for the coast to be clear. Get your stuff together quickly." She stood up and pulled everything down on top of them from the rack while she stood guarding the way so they couldn't see what Harry was doing he quickly shoved as much as he could into his rucksack and everything else in to one carrier bag. He wished he had less stuff but when he looked at what George had it was about the same.
"I've got everything which way are we going to leave from." Harry asked quietly as George sat back down back to front with her back to them. Hardly moving her mouth she replied.
"We are just waiting for the two boys behind him to move over then we are going to walk straight past the spy. Don't look at them just follow me and look at me straight ahead. Ready?"
"Yes."
"Now." They both got up and doing exactly what George had said Harry followed her down through the carriage quickly and then to the very end of the next one and they quickly sat down in a very cramped corner. He was squashed very closely to her and could now smell her lovely hair so much that he though he might float off his seat no matter how squashed in he was.
They hid there faces as the spy passed and then quickly went back the way they came to the next but one carriage and waited by the door for the train to stop. The spy had returned but hadn't yet seen George and Harry and they quickly ran around the corner and behind the large sign but when the majority of people got off the train George grabbed Harry's hand and pulled him through the crowd and through a door but Harry didn't get chance to see the sign.
Before Harry had chance to twig that they were in the ladies toilets she quickly pulled him into the first empty cubicle and locking the door she put a hand over Harry's mouth so he wouldn't let on that he was in there too. They waited silently for about 10mins as she slowly put there bags on the floor so none passing would be able to see two pairs of feet under the door.
Eventually the toilet was empty apart from the two of them and Harry decided it would be okay to speak he was going to say thank-you because of George he had slipped away unnoticed again he just hoped it hadn't been Moody who could see through the wall that Harry was hidden in a toilet.
Harry opened his mouth to say something but another mouth pushed softly against it and suddenly everything in his head just melted away and all he could do was grin and that was all she could do too. Harry looked at her smile it wasn't a cheeky grin, it was a rather sexy smile in Harry's opinion.
He returned the gesture and kissed her for longer this time and for some reasons he found his hands running up the side of her body for no apparent reason just taking it all in.
When she finally stopped him Harry realised he was just a bit taller than her as she was standing on her toes, Harry quickly forgot this thought as it was quickly replaced by a new one just like the last few. She held his hands and gently moved then down around her back but Harry was too tempted to say something the only witty thing he could come up with was.
"Nice arse!" Harry wasn't sure if he had overstepped the line but to be fare it was her who started it by pulling him into a girl's toilet, but that didn't seem so bad if this was what they were doing.
"Thank-you. Yours isn't so bad either." And her hands moved round to squeeze his. She was looking up now having stood back on all of her foot, but as she did her hand moved up to push some of Harry's convenient hair out of his eye's that he kept there to cover the scar.
"Can't do anything with it. Has a complete mind of its own." He complained as if it was a real person. She laughed but her attention had moved onto the thin lightning bolt scar on his forehead and for once Harry didn't mind someone looking at it.
"That's an odd scar, how you get it?" Harry wished she hadn't asked how he got his scar because he didn't want to ruin things with the story he hated so much.
"Err, it's is a bit odd. I got it when I was only a baby I don't really know why and now it won't go away!" It was true everything he had said he didn't really no why he had his scar but was glad she noticed him feeling uncomfortable about it and moved further down his face to kiss him again.
Another ten minutes passed and they had to be quiet again because another girl had come in to use the toilet, feeling that although it was very nice hiding here that sooner or later someone may notice that someone had been quietly in there for nearly half an hour Harry wondered about sneaking out after the girl had finished.
Luckily for Harry, he didn't have to mention this because George was thinking similar thoughts. Not the same thought's Harry was quiet sure as quiet crude image were randomly passing through his head like a screen saver, he didn't think she was like that, but similar on the leaving soon lines.
"You best wait here while I check to see if the coast is clear to go." Harry snatched another kiss before she left for a moment with her bag. Harry followed but not so he could be seen, when he heard a lot of people suddenly moving Harry was all for hiding in case someone came in but George's hand quickly grabbed his again and pulled him as if nothing back in to the crowd of lots of people.
Not letting go of her hand while they walked with the crowd off the station Harry wondered about the fact she had got off the train at the same stop as him quiet naturally when really she couldn't have been heading for the same town as him that was just a bit too much of a coincidence for Harry. When they had got out of the station and were in the shopping centre and Harry started walking slower to let the crowd pass and so he could ask her about the train been far to nervous to ask about the toilet.
"Were you planning to get off the train here or was that just for me?" She smiled wondering if this meant Harry wanted her to go away or something.
"Not exactly, like I said I was planning to get off when I saw somewhere nice to go and I did." She looked him in the eyes and Harry hoped with all his heart that he was the nice thing she saw.
"Are you always so free, don't you have a place you have to go to?" Harry wondered if she wanted to leave him now and go home and George wondered if Harry wanted her to leave and go home but really it took a moment for both of them to realise they were both been silly.
"No not really, I was going just to book in a bed and breakfast and stay somewhere nice for a bit until I get board then go on to the next place" Harry wondered what her background was but they seemed to have an unspoken rule of not to go there yet.
"Don't you have to worry about been able to afford a bed and breakfast anywhere?" She looked glum so Harry wondered if he had stepped on a nerve but she quickly became Happy again.
"Sadly no. I don't have to worry about been able to afford anything because I've got more money than I want especially when I know where it came from." She looked sad again for a moment and Harry wished she wouldn't he thought she looked absolutely gorges when she smiled. He wanted her to smile again but wasn't quiet sure how to make her do it but he didn't have to. "Enough about money it's mucky. Now tell me more about this fat cousin of yours and let's decided on the best way to tease him." She smiled and grabbing his hand again they wondered around the shopping centre talking happily until they started to get hungry and went to find somewhere to eat.
After eating in a simple sandwich bar Harry took George to where there were several bed and breakfast places and waited while she found one with a room. When they found a place with a room Harry went in with her to look at it, it was on the ground floor at the back, rather small but George seemed to think it was perfectly satisfactory.
As Harry thought about it, what really do you need other than a bed which he sat down on while she shoved her bags in the wardrobe and then suddenly pulled the blind down a bit. Wondering what she was up to Harry turned on the bed to face her but she just came and sat opposite him, Harry wasn't sure weather he started kissing her or if she started kissing him but he was quiet happy to let it continue until it started to get much darker.
Then he was quiet happy just to lie there with her until the owner shouted upstairs that he was serving the evening meal now, he was friendly but this was obviously away of showing that he new Harry was still there and she had paid for a single room not a double.
They both got the hint and after a lot of effort he left but promised to meet her the following morning for some late breakfast. Leaving the bed and breakfast Harry set off walking very happy in one way for the way the day had turned out but very sad to be going back to his aunt and uncle's house on his own where they wouldn't care about anything to do with him.
