The Other Explanation (sorry, I had a brain fart and couldn't think of nething else)

"What? But how? Nobody but the Order knows where I live. And anyway, there's that magic thing with my aunt's blood or something that's supposed to keep me safe from him. I would like an explanation (a/n: hence the name of the chapter)."

"Well yes......... and no. Voldermort's reach if farther than just the magical world."

Lupin and the other members of the Order began looking rather nervous and worried. Harry, however, understood what Lupin was saying.

"So what your implying is that he got the info through muggles. But how? How did he or his Deatheaters find out where I lived without arousing suspicion?"

This time, it was Snape who answered.

"Potter, you really can't be that stupid. Remember the Imperious Curse you learned in your fourth year? You-Know-Who will use that and many other terrible things you can only imagine to get people to talk. Use the small part of a brain you have to figure it out." Snape paused for a moment before continuing.

"That, Potter, is why you are here and not at the muggles. As for the protection of your aunts, we felt it best to remove you from their house and have them leave immediately. Professor Dumbledore went to go write them informing them of the situation and the direr consequences of not doing so. Lupin, you are probably the one who needs to tell Harry these consequences and his, ahem, new set of rules. I would tell him myself, but he has no sense of appreciation for other figures of authority except for those who also do not obey the rules, if I may say so myself."

"Well Harry," Lupin began, pretending he didn't hear Snape's sneering comment. "You see, the effects of the Dursley's is umm... how can I put this... Harry, if Voldermort finds your aunt and uncle and kill them. You know how at Voldermort's resurrection he used your blood, your mother's blood, to allow him to touch you? Well, your mothers blood still resides in your Aunt Petunia's blood, whether she likes it or not. Well if he has her blood in him too, the protection will no longer last. (a/n: I really don't know if this is how it works but wut the heck! It works with the story. Neway...)

Harry felt like a cannon ball had been hurled towards him. He had never liked or even cared for the Dursleys but the thought of losing them bothered him. In his eyes, they were the only living proof of his family that he had.

"And let me guess, I have to be a good little boy and not wander about after sunset. Like the rule I had when Sirius was ' out for me'." Harry was still shocked at the news but he was trying to keep it cool.

Snape was actually looking happy for some reason. Harry had the urge to ask, but Lupin beat him to it.

"Severus, please inform us why you look so happy, 'cause I must admit, it's very rare that you look pleased. Plus, to be quite honest, it creeps me out when you smile." Harry and Mr. Weasley replied in agreement.

"Well, I'm just amazed at just how stupid Potter really is. Mr. Potter, this isn't a wizard that's after you, this is the lord of the dark arts, the best wizard next to Albus Dumbledore, on your path. If he were to ever catch up to you, it'd be your skin, most likely. But yes, the rules are the same except for this: you must not be alone at anytime. We have learned that there might be an attack on the school and if that were to happen, they would be there for the only one plausible reason. I think you can figure that reason out. If not, here's the answer. You. All of your teachers have been informed of this and will be keeping an eye on you. And let me tell you this, if I ever catch you by yourself, ever, I will march you straight to Dumbledore's office. That is all."

With that, Harry lest the room with the worried stares from Lupin and Mr. Weasley.

He told Ron and Hermione the story. Like always, they both looked very anxious. Hermione had begun to tear up and worrying and all the color in Ron's face had disappeared.

Hermione had begun to say something when there was a noise on the window. There was a large barn owl at the ledge. Hermione had hurried towards the window and took whatever it had and left the room, without so mucha s a good-bye.

"Did that owl look familiar to you Harry, " Ron asked. "Yeah, but I can't quite place it. Let's go see what it was."

They found her with Ginny in the room they shared. They were both reading a letter. It took the girls both no surprise to find Harry and Ron in the doorway.

"Go away! There's nothing in here for you to see." Ginny said. Harry and Ron looked at each other.

Ron stared at Ginny. "I know you well enough to know that if you say go away, that I would want to know what it is."

While Ron and Ginny went at it, Harry had snuck around to see the letter. When he saw whom it was from, he almost fainted.

"What the hell! Ron get over here." When Ron saw the letter, he let out a very long stream of muddle words. Then, they both yelled simultaneously "Malfoy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?????????????????????????"
