Is It Real?

Chapter 1

Disclaimer: I don't own anything from Harry potter and coppany.

Harry was going into his second week at the dursleys; never before had the taunts and names meant so little to him. They were in the back of his mind the only thing Harry wanted now was freedom from the pain he felt.

Harry had lost all emotion except guilt and pain. He never felt happy when he recieved a letter from Ron or Hermione. Hermione, that name used to mean so much to him, it still did. Locked away in the back of his heart Harry didn't know it but there was happiness and love, but he could never let himself feel that for anybody again. It was his falt that Sirius died.

Lost in thought Harry didn't relize that Hedwig had come in to the room, back from her trip. Gracefully flying over to Harry Hedwig nipped his hand for him to take the burden of the package from her ankle. Once Harry had removed the package Hedwig flew to her cage for a good rest from all the flying.

Looking at the package seal he could tell it was from Ron. Carefully Harry opened the package to see what was inside. Harry saw that there was five letters inside. Harry opened one after the other to find that there was nothing writen on them.

Thinking his friends had played a practical joke on him Harry threw the package aside; heading down stairs Harry noticed everybody was gone leaving him alone in the house. 'Strange who would have thought the Dursleys would have left me here alone with all of there cheap imatation junk?' Harry thought to himself while looking outside to see that the Dursleys car was still in the drive way. ' Well guess they finally learned to walk some where.'

Deciding that this was the perfect time to go for a walk Harry headed out the door into a world of nothingness. Everybody was gone. The streets were empty, parks were kidless. It was as if everybody had left Little Whining with out a second thought. Walking up and down the streets Harry noticed things had moved just a little from when he last saw them.

Heading back to Number 12 Harry could hear people inside. Creeping around the back of the house Harry pulled out his wand, slowly but swiftly Harry opened the door to find . . . . . .

Ron and Hermione along with Tonks in the kitchen going through the cubboards. " What do think your doing?" Harry asked from behind them. The three of them turned around from fright after hearing the sound of a voice behind them," HARRY," Hermione yelled upon seeing him; at once she rushed over to him and gave him a hug and a kiss on the cheek.

Ron seeing this said," Hey, Harry what have you been up to?" swiftly walking over and putting his right arm around Hermione in a possesive manner; which caused Hermione to blush at Rons action, but still frighten her just a little.'Could he think that were more than just friends?'Hernione asked herself.. " Nothing and I ask again what are you doing here?" Harry asked aggitated.

"Were here to get you, silly. its time you came and stayed some where safe, sombody found somthing that looked to have been from Voldemort, and we decided it was time for you to stay some where safe, so you are coming to stay with Hermione and me for the rest of the summer," Tonks said with her ussual enthusiasm.

'What do you mean stay with you and Hermione why can't I just go and stay at the Order of . . . " instantly Tonks cut him of before he could finish his sentence. " Harry its not safe to talk here lets go some where else shall we so go pack your things and lets go."

By the look of fear on Tonks face Harry could tell somethign big was going on and he wasn't getting involved, yet. "Alright but before i go what happened to everybody, where did they go?" Harrry asked just rememebering.

"Oh don't worry about that Harry. I just preformed a little spell, really there not gone just moving slower and so we are going faster, way faster so they can't see us and we can't see them." Tonks replied before telling Ron to go up and help Harry pack.

Harry turned and headed up the stairs with Ron trailing behind. Once up stairs Harry turned on his friend and said ,"Do you have any idea whats going on?"

"I know all about it, but I can't tell ya here mate, people might hear us," Ron replied before helping harry feel the trunk up with Harrys clothes and books noticing a few items missing Ron said to Harry," Have you been to Diagon alley yet?"

"No," was Harrys simple answer. "So mate do you got anything else that needs packed?" Ron asked once they had finished packing. " Just Hedwigs cage and thats about it, no wait I do have somthing else Harry went into room and got the five blank letters and dropped them into the trunk.

Once they closed the trunk Harry look at Ron and said," So what was that down stairs?" Ron looked up with cunfusion on his face," What do you mean?"

"You and Hermione, you two seem closer then when we flast saw each other?" Harry replied." Oh that I . . . Well we just got to know each other better, but she likes somebody else I know it but maybe we might go a little farther if we like each other enough." Ron answered.

Lifting the trunk they carefully carried the trunk down the stairs and into the kitchen were Tonks and Hermione awaited them . . .

(This is what went on down stairs while the boys were up stairs)

After making sure the boys were up stairs and out of earshot Tonks alomost jumped Hermione for answers," What the hell was that between you and Ron? I thought you liked Harry andwhyisRonsoprotectiveofyou. . ." Hermione cut Tonks off with the wave of her hand.

" Tonks catch your breath okay, and it was nothing it was just a friendly act, and yes I do like Harry, but do you really have to shout it out like that. And I really didn't catch the rest of it," Hermione replied with a disapproving voice of Tonks reaction.

"Sorry Mione, but I really wanted to know it seemed to me that you and Ron were . . . well it seemed that you to were going out to me," Tonks said red from emmbarassment.

" Tonks the reason it seems that me and Ron are closer is because we well we kissed but it was nothing really," Hermione said starting to blush from the reminder of the occasion.

"What do you mean you kissed? When? Where? Why?" Tonks asked the instant she recovered from the thought of them in an embrace of passion.

"It happened when I arrived at the burrow to await you. We were outside and joking around and well I ran and he started to chase me and when he caught me we both fell to the ground and he fell on top of me and being that close well we kissed but it was nothing." Hermione stated more to herself then to Tonks.

"Well, does he know it was nothing?" Tonks asked with a serious look on her face. " Well of course he does he knows were just friends," Hermione replied to Tonks in a lame voice.

Before Tonks could replie to Hermione Ron and Harry arriveed back down stairs to say that they were ready to go, giving the once over Hermione noticed that they didn't have hedwigs cage with them, " um Harry are you forgetting sombody?"

Harry looked at her cunfused and said," Somebody?" Rolling her eyes Hermione said in word he might understand. " YOU. ARE. FORGETTING. HEDWIG."

"Shit, thank you Hermione,"Harry said before heading back up stairs to grab the cage, once he was up stairs Harry noticed that there was some extra stuff that he needed, not noticing since he and Ron had been discussing things; Harry tried to pick up his things and hedwigs cage but relised he couldn't so he yelled for Ron to come up and help him.

Down stairs Ron heard Harry and ran up the stairs, once he was gone Tonks went over to Hermione and said, "maybe he doesn't realize that is love is one-sided."

When Hermione heard the impossible word she looked up with shock on her face, unable to say somthing back to Tonks remark Hermione looked at her watch to see that they only had ten minutes before the spell would were off and everybody would start to move at full speed again.

Harry and Ron quickly grabbed the last of his things and headed down stairs to see a serious Tonks and shocked Hermione. "Is everything okay?" Harry asked setting Hedwig and her cage down.

"Yes.Yes everything is fine we just have to get going thats all," Tonks said walking over to help Harry and Ron who were struggling with every thing.

" Ron will you come here for a minute?" Tonks asked. Ron walked over to were Tonks was standing. " Ron will you be a dear and let us put everything on your broom and you can ride Hermiones broom?" Tonks asked.

" Sure, but where is Hermione gonna sit then?" he asked realizing that her broom wasn't big enough for the both of them.

" Oh not to worry I already have that figured out. I'll ride Harrys broom and He and Hermione will ride mine." Tonks explained to him.

"But why can't me and Hermione ride your broom and Harry ride Hermiones?" Ron asked cunfused why she would have Harry ride with Hermione instead of him.

" Well Harry is smaller then me and you so him and Hermione will fit better, then you and her would,' Tonks said. "Alright" was all Ron said jealous that he couldn't ride with Hermione but Harry could it just wasn't fair.

Once they had everything packed on to Ron's broom Tonks explained to Harry and Hermione what the plans were. Both agreeing they set off heading for Tonks apartment with three minutes till the spell would stop working.
