Chapter 6: Questions, Questions and More Questions.
The next morning Harry woke up at 04:30 with a feeling of dread but couldn't remember why, but suddenly the memories of last night came flooding back to him and he remembered that he had to go back to the Dursleys. Even though it would be nice to see Sirius, Ron, Hermione, to his surprise he found that he missed a certain Redhead the most.
Half an hour later max opened the door and told Harry that they were going to spar together one more time before Harry had to apparate to No.4 Privet Drive. So Harry followed Max down to the courtyard and started of with some warm-up exercises and then they began to fight but Harry couldn't concentrate as he was too eager to see his friends but at the same time he dreaded returning to the Dursleys.
"Max, do you think I could go to my friends house instead of my Aunt's." Harry pleaded but max just said
"You will be safer at your relatives house," Max said with finality but Harry spat
"They are not related to me and they treat me like a house-elf"
"Still it would be wise if you went to your Aunt's house. But I'm sure you'll be allowed to go to your friend's house eventually," Max finished and added "You have to leave now,"
So Harry concentrated on appearing in his bedroom and with a pop he was standing on his bed. Harry decided he was going to go back to sleep before he let the Dursleys know he was back.
Harry was allowed no more sleep than five minutes because someone was shaking him awake, a face with short shaggy hair bright eyes with a deadened look behind them and although the dementors had had an effect on Sirius, he was now starting to look like he had in his parents wedding photo. Harry thinking quickly decided that he was going to start his charade
"Hello Sirius, what are you doing here" Harry said happily.
"Well I want to know where you've been for the last week or so." Sirius asked not understanding why Harry was so happy, he had been missing for over a week.
"What do you mean Sirius" Harry asked.
"Well for the last week or so we haven't been able to find you" said Sirius alarmed
"I've been here at the Dursleys" Harry spat "Doing chores and having to earn my own money so I have some decent clothes,"
Sirius decided to go downstairs and get Dumbledore as he was getting no where with Harry on his own.
"Harry I'll be just a second I'm going to get Dumbledore," Sirius said trying to not act like he was blowing Harry off.
Harry knew Dumbledore would see right through his lie and decided to put a temporary memory charm on himself
"Obliviate a une heure," Harry said quietly concentrating on temporarily deleting his last weeks worth of memories.
For a second Harry felt dizzy and the last thing he could remember was that Sirius had just come to visit about him being missing for the last week or so," although as far as Harry knew he hadn't been missing at all and had just finished his first week of work the night before and had received £65 pounds. He had been planning to go shopping and get some new clothes.
Just then Dumbledore walked through the door.
"Hello Professor Dumbledore, what are you doing here? Wait, you're going to ask me where I've been for the last week and I'll say I don't know and you'll say very well but when you're ready to tell me I will be willing to listen," Harry sighed with sarcasm realising he was babbling,
At least nothing's happened to him whilst he's been gone, Dumbledore thought. Harry saw Dumbledore's eyes twinkle even more at his statement and knew Dumbledore didn't believe him even though Harry knew he was telling the truth, he didn't understand why they didn't believe him because Sirius was looking at him with a disbelieving look.
"Harry" Dumbledore said "I've arranged for you to stay at the Weasleys for the rest of the summer and you will be leaving via portkey once you have packed all you things"
Sirius and Dumbledore left and Harry went to his closet and found that he had a full trunk of clothes that he hadn't had the night before.
"Perhaps they were telling the truth and I have been missing" Harry thought aloud.
Five minutes later Harry was dragging his trunk down to the back garden where Sirius and Dumbledore were waiting for him.
"I see you're ready to leave, the portkey will be ready in a minute" said Dumbledore his blue eyes twinkling.
Whilst Harry was waiting all his memories of the last week came flooding back to him and he wondered how he was going to express his feelings for her and decided he was going to ask for a word and tell her.
The portkey was ready and when he touched it he felt the familiar tug behind his navel and stumbled onto the Weasleys front lawn.
