Chapter 6 The cost of being Harry Potter

Harry's pov

"Aunt Petunia why do you want me to come with you?" He asked feeling sure he'd just figured out the answer. "Well with that you-know-who back need some protection don't we?" She said in a fake happy cheery voice of someone trying to be funny. "Yes but im no protection I don't even have my wand on me!" He yelled at her. She turned in her seat with a petrified look on her face "You mean to tell me that were out of the protection of the house with no... thingy?!?" She still couldn't say wand, it hurt him a little more than her ignorance so he started to get mad. "YEA AUNTI!!!" Harry yelled in a crazy voice "WERE out of the house with no THINGY....(then he said in a voice of forced calmness)..."Can we go back now and get my thingy?" "And waste about 10 minutes worth of gas??? Do you know how much that COSTS these days???" Aunt Petunia finished the conversation indignantly obviously not expecting Harry to retort back "Well then I hope you know how much Voldemort or his Death Eaters is going to CHARGE us if we have a run in!!!"

Hermiones pov

Hermione lay on her bed writing to Harry. She felt nervous as she imagined his reaction to the letter. They had barley hered from him this summer and it was already the 28th of July. She looked down at it and then closed it up inside an envelope and sent it off with Pig. She stared out the window for some time after that, letting the frustration run over her. She didnt know what to do, and this wasnt just about Ron. Hermione dropped back onto her bed deep in thought. She had a good amount of choices for potential boyfriends. But she wanted somthing that would last. Someone she could trust with anything, and that would in turn trust anything with her. Her first thought had been Harry. She had always liked him a lot. She only tried to help him out with Cho because she wanted him to be happy. Well that didnt exactly work out, did it? She thought sourly. She didnt think Cho was good for Harry in the first place. Harry had his own problems and he didnt need a girl like Cho. So there was Harry but she didnt know if he liked her back. And Ron well she liked him, although not as much as she knew he liked her back. Should she take a chance for Harry, and risk losing both of her best friends in jealously? Ron was always so jealous of Harry... She pulled at her long, strait but thick hair, feeling miserable, being torn bettween two great guys whom she loved. Then should she just take Ron and give up on Harry? Was Harry even what she really wanted? She was confused... Maybe she should just go talk to Ron about how she was feeling? That might be a good idea she thought, jumping quietly out of bed carefull not to wake Ginny.

Harrys pov

Aunt Petunia turned around to look at him. He could tell she was angry. And now that he thought about it she had been looking stressed out lately.

Wondering why she could be so stressed Harry spoke "Look.....Aunt petunia...i cant protect myself or you without my (he paused wondering if she would scream if he said it)...wand," Harry finished saying the word as though they were in a ttrial and it was the murder wepon.

Aunt Petunia miraculously turned back around and parked at the store. Then she got out and waited for Harry. This display kinda shocked him then he remembered she had to lock the car, and she did. Then said Aunt Petunia "DONT, dont, dont, dont ever try to come back in that car with me."

"What???"Harry exclaimed.

"Were getting rid of you,and its about time too, NOTHING but trouble whatever you do, wherever you go!"Aunt Petunia said.

"You cant... what about that whole 'remember my last' shytte? I NEED to stay with you guys!" Harry said quickly.

"Well thats a shame cause im not risking my family for you any more" Aunt Petunia finished then started to walk to the store. Harry followed her stunned but then she turned and ran back to the car, unlocked it jumped in and started to drive off.
