After about 10min Tonks had returned from dropping off Hermione's parents to there knew home. Where they would be staying at least until Hermione finished her year at Hogwarts.
"Well there all set up sir anything else or can I go on back home?" Tonks asked
"Well just one; We need to hear the real reason why Harry called on us so we know how to protect them." With this Tonks took a seat looking confused
"Sir I thought we got the story?" She asked
"Well no sorry about that I told a bit of a lie to keep the Grangers from getting mad at Harry for something he can't really control" Dumbledore said
Harry took that as his Kew to start telling what was really going on he took Hermione's hand.
"Well like I was saying before I realized recently that I have feelings for Hermione and I took the opportunity while I was staying with her to make it a bit more official and letting her know that I cared for her and would want to date her seriously." Harry said taking a bit of a pause noticing all the smiles around the room.
He continued "Well after me and her had talked tonight we headed to bed and as I was sleeping I slipped into Voldemort's mind again and saw him speaking to Wormtail who told him of me and Hermione's new relationship. How he found out so quickly is unknown to me guess he was spying on me or something. Well with this info Voldemort came up with a plan to turn Hermione to the dark side to destroy me cause me so much pain and grief that I'd become vulnerable enough for him to kill me. Wormtail was coming to get Hermione when I owled you all for help." Harry said he got up out of the chair and walked over to the window. Lupin got up and put his hand on his shoulder
"Harry you know you are both safe now" Lupin said
"Yeah but for how long when we got in the house and I passed out I saw Voldemort again and he was angry. He told Wormtail that he would now have to wait till after Hermione left Hogwarts. He's not going to just leave her alone he's going to keep going after her until either I kill him or till he succeeds in his goal." Harry said looking at Hermione with tears building in his eyes.
He didn't want to cry in front of her so he ran out the kitchen and locked himself in the attack with buckbeak. Hermione didn't know what to say she knew better then to go after him when he was this upset.
"Hermione I know you're worried about him but he just needs to calm down. I'll give him awhile and I'll talk to him see what's on his mind." Lupin said as he sat back down
"Ok Professor but I have a feeling that if he sets his mind on something he wont change it back and that's what's scaring me." Hermione said
"Well Harry is hard headed." Lupin said
Tonks and Dumbledore decided to let Lupin handle this one and they said their quick goodbyes and made there way out.
"Professor it's not that he's hard headed but he's all about keeping me safe and if he's really scared about this he may leave me just to keep me safe. Professor I love him and I mean we haven't been a couple for even a day yet. I don't want to lose him not like this not till we've had a real chance to be happy." Hermione said she was starting to get teary eyed now and understood what made Harry want to run.
"Well Hermione I must admit I'm no expert at this stuff; But I would like to talk to him I mean we don't know what he's thinking yet." Lupin stated
Hermione shook her head in agreement, and with that she headed of to her room while Lupin headed to the attack to speak to Harry.
"Harry may I come in." Lupin asked as he knocked on the door
"Yeah come in" Harry said
Lupin entered the attack and saw Harry sitting in the corner staring out the window. Lupin walked up to him and sat down next to him.
"Harry I spoke to Hermione and she's a bit worried that your up here planning on breaking up with her, and she's a bit scarred. So I told her I'd come up here and speak to you." Lupin said trying to see Harry's face; Only Harry wouldn't turn to look at Lupin he just kept facing the window.
"Maybe Hermione is worried for the right reason professor cause I don't know how I can stay with her when being with her is putting her in so much danger. And we just started dating we haven't been together for 24hrs even." Harry said sounding a bit horse
"You know why Harry because even though I'm in danger I'm happy and you cant just snatch that from me cause you want to protect me. The fact is I made a decision and even if you push I am not going anywhere I'm here and I'm not leaving so stop stressing a decision cause I already made it." Hermione said standing by the door she had been listening since Lupin had walked in. She felt that she couldn't stay away to leave her life in the hands of two men.
Harry turned and looked at her like she had lost her mind and she just stared back at him with a stern face that he knew there was no fighting with her. So he just got up and gave in walked over to her and hugged her like he would never see her again. Lupin took this as his Kew to give them sometime to talk things out on their own. They were so into each other they didn't even see him walk out of the room.
"Ok you win I guess I should have known there's no way to win against you." Harry whispered in her ear, She just giggled at him.
They sat and talked alone in the attack for a couple hours before heading down to their separate rooms to get some sleep. They had a long day ahead of them they wanted to clean up the house to make it livable again, and they had to head to Diagon alley to get there school supplies in the morning. Harry jumped into his bed feeling like 10lbs had been lifted off his shoulder.
