A/N: okay, I'm writing again. I no, I've been an awful author but it
doesn't help that I'm only allowed on the computer for a while a day. I
just got my wisdom teeth pulled out yesterday and now I'm stuck at home
cause firstly I'm not allowed to do anything 'active' for a while and
secondly my face has puffed up cause of the swelling! Argh! O well. here
goes the next chapter. have fun reading but please, please review it after.
His eyes. they remind me of someone.
* 5 hours later *
~ What the heck am I doing! I mean 24 hours ago I would have never even thought of this now, here I am, standing like an idiot, and in less than an hour I'm going to be seeing they people I ran away from, the reason I ran away.~
Those were Harry's thoughts as he stood still and Ginny performed a few charms on him. A few moments later she held up a mirror and Harry looked, then nodded.he looked different, that was for sure, no more messy hair, no more green eyes and even the shape of his face had been altered. He decided to try out his new voice.
"It looks great Ginny, thanks. " he said to find his voice had dropped several notes.
Ginny smiled in return. " Come on," she said, " we'll be late." and she grabbed Harry's hand and apparated them out-side a restaurant.
"Ginny, I don't know if I can." but she cut him off with a quick kiss and then dragged him towards a large corner table where the order was sitting.
"GINNY!" exclaimed Ron, as he stood and hugged his only sister " we were so worried, Andrew said you just ran off and."
"Ron, I'm fine, trust me, I couldn't be better," said Ginny returning the hug, "I hope it's alright I brought a friend along,"
That was the first time the table's occupants noticed Harry who was standing to a side.
"Of course not Ginny," said Hermione as she stood to introduce herself. " I'm Hermione Granger"
"Soon to be another Weasley" muttered Ginny into Harry's ear.
"What?!.Um. I mean.I'm Tom uh. Tom Griffin. A p-pleasure to meet you."
Hermione frowned slightly as she observed Tom and took her seat again.
~~~~~ Hermione's POV ~~~~~
* I was so worried, Ginny is never late but when she showed up she seemed happy, truly happy, not those fake smiles she used to pull just to make herself seem alright, this time her eyes tinkled. There's something weird about the guy she brought along, she says he's a long-time friend but I've never met him. even though I feel as though I have.He says he's called Tom but I have my doubts, he seemed so unsure when he said it. He keeps on starring at us as we order our food, maybe it's just because we're part of the order but I have my doubts again. as soon as possible I'm going to ask Ginny about him. they were holding hands. does that means anything.I wonder. *
~~~~~ Normal POV ~~~~~
"Um. I need to powder my nose, Ginny, will you come with?"
"Uh.sure Hermione.hold on." and she left giving 'Tom' a worried glance and a smile of encouragement before she went.
"So. Tom. Uh. what do you do for a living?" asked Ron in a vain attempt to get a conversation going and stop the strange silence.
"O. I err. write books. children's books."
~ I might as well tell them take so I don't have to keep on lying, lucky Mione's not here now, she could always tell when I wasn't telling the whole truth.they keep on starring. I wonder what I did wrong.maybe they suspect something. no. stop worrying.of course they don't.just keep calm. ~
"Interesting," said Ron in a meant-to-be-interested tone, but I knew him too well, he was just being polite.
"So.I heard from Ginny that you were all a big group before. what do you do now?"
~ You mean to say he doesn't know about the order? If he was Ginny's real friend she would have told him, then again I'm not sure now. ~ thought Lavender.
"Hermione, Ginny, Neville and me all work at Hogwarts." stated Ron.
Harry/Tom's eyes widened, "R...really? What do you teach?" He asked.
" Ginny teaches transfiguration, Neville does Herbology, I'm flying and Hermione's maths."
"Your ALL teachers?" asked Harry in awe.
"Yeah.why do you look so surprised?" asked Neville.
"Well.I . I mean, aren't you guys a bit young?" trying to come up with a reason on the spot.
Roger (Davis) frowned. (You do know who he is right?). " They're the best in their fields, the old Professors died in the war and they were kind enough to take the jobs."
"They.they died?" asked Harry/Tom. he had never realised that his teachers were gone." Which.which ones.who died?" asked Harry/Tom Quickly wanting to know everything.
~~~~~ The Ladies Room ~~~~~
"So who is he Ginny?"
" What do you mean?"
"Who is he, I know he's not Tom Griffin, he can't be, I can tell when people lie like that."
"He.he's a friend. an old one. please Hermione don't push this unless you want to be hurt.I mean it.. He'll be gone by tomorrow anyway." She said with a sad look on her face.
"What do you mean Ginny?"
"Nothing, just, please make him feel welcome tonight Hermione, I promise to tell you if we see him again. please?"
Hermione smiled. " Okay Ginny, I'll try.You know.his eyes remind me of someone."
"I know."
~~~~~ Back out side ~~~~~~
~ O god. I can't believe it. all dead.all of them apart from Snape of course who has to be sitting opposite me starring. I cant believe they all died.all of them. ~
"Are you okay?" asked Lavender, who voiced the question that everybody on the table was wondering. She starred at the young man who seemed to be shocked and sad to say the least.
"Yeah.yeah I'm fine" said Harry who pulled a small fake smile just as the girls re-entered.
Ginny noticed but decided to ask later.
Harry's eyes scanned the people sitting at the table. He went from Roger to Lavender to Ron, Remus, Sirius, then Dumbledore.he starred at Dumbledore.
~ He hasn't changed a bit, the same glitter in his eye, the same glasses.~
Harry noticed Dumbledore stare back and registered the look in his eyes. At first there was suspicion, then shock, then finally the glitter came back with a smile to go along. He saw Dumbledore take in small piece of parchment and write a note then, he noticed the note vanish from the table and he could feel it in his pocket.Harry froze. slowly he opened it and read:
