DISCLAIMER: I do not own Harry Potter, though I do wish I did.
***********************************************************************
Here's a little poem that I stole from my friend's Away Message board. hehe
~~"If you saw me would you have pride, Knowing I took it all in my stride? Never normal and always blamed, Often guilty but not ashamed.
I'm told to save the world, you know, Save us all from the common foe. Can I do it? Wait and see, Some day it's just him and me."
"Unfinished Thoughts" - The Boy Who Lived **************************************************************************** ******************************************************************
CH 4 Dursley's 'Nice'?
Harry glanced up and down the street. He sighed.
"Where are they?" He thought out loud. Two weeks had passed since Moody came by the house, and he had promised to come for him on the last Friday of July. Harry's sixteenth birthday was only three days away and he at least wanted to spend it with the people he loved most. /Except Sirius./ Harry's thoughts darkened. /Of course, the only last person I ever truly loved goes and slips right out of my life. This is all Dumbledore's fault! If he hadn't told me about that damned prophecy sooner I might have had a chance to try and save him. I would've learned Occlumency and I would've kept Voldemort out of my mind./
"No more secrets. Too many are already held. No more." Harry said angrily. He glanced one more time down the street and to the sky before stomping into the house.
"Harry, did they come yet?" His aunt called from the kitchen.
"No, Aunt Petunia!"
"What's taking them then?" She asked poking her head out the door.
"I don't know, maybe they ran into a problem." Harry said. "I'm gonna go up to my room. Maybe I can get some more of my homework done." Harry sprinted up to his room and flopped on the bed.
"That was weird. I'm not used to them being 'nice'." He said to himself. He glanced at Hedwig on the window sill and she turned her owl head fully and hooted at him. Harry smiled.
"You seem to be the only one that hasn't kept any secrets from me Hedwig. Do you have secrets now?" Hedwig made a face at him as if understanding his words and hooted in an irritated voice.
"What?" She hooted again staring down to the front yard.
"What did they get here?" He approached the window and stared down at what Hedwig was looking at before. Three dark robed figures stood in the front yard looking up at him. Harry stiffened. Fear was rising quickly in him.
He stepped away from view and snapped his trunk open. His wand lay on top of his clothes with to Harry's surprise the broken mirror that Sirius had given him. He felt anger rise in him again. This time it was direct at himself. He was angery for not thinking of the mirror sooner.
/If I just called him with the mirror he would still be alive./
Harry mentally kicked himself. At the sound of yelling he pushed his anger away and ran to the landing. **************************************************************************** ****************************************************************** "Where is he Muggle?!"
"I don't know who you're talking about." Petunia Dursley said shaking.
"I know you're lying Muggle, I can see it in your mind. Now tell me the truth or someone will get hurt here!"
"I don't know who you are talking about, leave my family alone or I'll call the police." Vernon Dursley said.
"The police? What will they do, lock us up?" The man with the white mask said, the other two laughed. He put a hand up and silenced them.
"Don't you know who we are Muggle? We are the elite Death Eaters of our Lord and Leader Voldemort. You would do best if you bow down to us and tell us where your nephew Harry Potter is."
"We don't know where he is, he left three days ago with some of his friends." Vernon said. He had pushed Petunia behind him and was hiding her with his over large body.
"Crucio!" The leader of the three Death Eaters yelled.
He laughed when Vernon Dursley fell screaming at the top of his lungs. Petunia stared horror struck at her husband. Her mouth was open in a silent scream that didn't seem to want to come out.
The Death Eater raised his wand and Vernon stopped screaming. Petunia quickly knelt by him wrapping her arms around his neck.
"Now maybe you'll tell us where he is."
"Leave us alone, we told you that we don't know anything!" Petunia said sobbing.
"Do you need another lesson Muggle? I can easily arrange it."
"No please, just leave us alone! We didn't do anything to you." Vernon stuttered. Petunia shushed him.
"Muggles. These people never learn. Cru-"
"Petrificus Totalus!" The leader of the Death Eaters fell to the floor frozen. The other two who kept quiet throughout the ordeal quickly pointed their wands at the Dursleys.
"We know its you Potter! Come on out!" When no one answered they got angry.
"You don't want your family to suffer like your godfather did now do you?" Still no answer.
"Potter get out here or you will be picking up the remains of your family when we're through with them."
"Or maybe he's scared to face us." The Death Eater smirked, his mask pulling at the corners.
"You know, Death Eaters are losers, why would I be afraid of them?" The two Death Eaters froze, their eyes darting around them. The voice that had answered them echoed around the room.
"Come out Potter."
"I don't think so." Harry's voice echoed again.
"Then you can say good bye to the Dursleys."
"Avada Kad-" Before he could finish, Harry had stepped out, pointed his wand at the Death Eaters, both of the wands snapped and the Death Eaters flew to hit the opposite wall, unconscious.
"That went better then I thought." Harry said. He looked at the Dursley who were pressed to the wall, hafl scared to death.
"Are you alright?"
"My god." Harry startled and watched his uncle's face, and to add to his surprise from his aunt, his uncle was not looking at him and not blaming him for the disturbance in the house.
"Uncle Vernon?" He asked softly. Vernon looked up at him and smiled.
"Thank you Harry, but you must call your friends and tell them to come pick you up as soon as possible. They have passed the barriers that were put on the house when you were brought here. You must leave before that man sends more of his goons to get you."
"Uncle Vernon? Thank you." Harry said.
"For what? I should be thanking you."
"You didn't blame me for this, and I'm grateful for it."
"Well it was not your fault. Harry, you must go and call them. More of these people will be here soon.
"Thank you." Harry said turning and leaving his uncle and aunt on the floor.
"Oh I almost forgot." Harry turned back again, and with his wandless magic, ropes appeared around the two men by the wall. Harry glanced down on the floor to the leader.
"I guess you lucked out didn't you." Pointing his hand at him and saying 'stupify' didn't stop Harry from seeing the shocked look on the Death Eaters face. ***********************************************************************
A/N: Next Chapter Harry meets up with the Order. All the confusion in this chapter will be cleared out. Thanks!
