Okay, now that the Sixth book has come out, I can rightfully say that this story will be very different. I hope you all don't mind. Also, Dumbledore will NOT die in this one. That's a good thing…right?

Chapter Seven: Order of the Panic

Number 12 Grimmauld Place: The Saturday after Harry's disappearance…

Remus Lupin sighed, rubbing his temples.

They were at it again…

"I don't care what you say, Ronald Weasley! S.P.E.W. will become a world-wide effort if I can help it!"

"Yeah right! Who cares about spew! Get it through your head Hermione, they like working! It's what they were taught ever since…well…since house elves were discovered."

"Just because if was what they were taught doesn't mean that it's right!"

Ron was about to make another retort, when… "Both of you, ENOUGH!"

The two froze.

"Bloody hell, you argue like an old married couple! Just get together and save the rest of us the pain!" This argument came from Tonks, who had a very bad migraine from listening to them argue for nearly an hour. Everyone in the house was glad they had stopped, too.

The two had the decency to look sheepish.

Lupin stood from his seat, striding towards the door.

"Where are you going, Professor?" asked Hermione.

"I'm going to go and pick Harry up. If you'll remember, Hermione, it's Saturday."

"Oh…well, may I go with you?" Hermione pleaded.

"All right, Hermione. You may accompany me. Let's be off."

With that, the two hopped to the Knight Bus to Privet Drive, arriving at Number Four with nary a glitch.

Lupin sighed and rapped on the door, patiently hiding his hands in the pockets of his stone-washed blue jeans and flannel. When he had received the money from Sirius, Tonks and the others had decided to drag him out to buy him some proper clothes. Much to his dislike. He liked the clothes he wore. They were comfortable. Anyways…

Lupin smiled at the horse-like woman who answered the door.

"Yes? What do you want?"

Lupin blinked. Well, wasn't she miss polite. "Hello, Mrs. Petunia Durlsey, I assume?"

"Yes."

"Hello. I'm Remus Lupin. I'm here to pick up Harry Potter."

Petunia's eyes darkened. "Well, he isn't here."

"What?"

"He isn't here. He left here while we were gone on vacation."

"Where? How could he have left?"

"We don't know how he left. We don't know where. He only left a note saying 'I'm leaving. I'll be back next summer. Don't worry. I'll try to get killed. Just kidding!

Harry.' That's all. His stuff upstairs is gone, as well. Apparently he left somewhere. Though we don't care. The more he's out of our hair, the better. Now, if you'll excuse me…" she shut the door in his face with a loud 'slam'.

Lupin stared at the door for a second, before turning to look at Hermione.

"Where could he have gone?" Hermione whispered, worried.

"I don't know Hermione." He muttered. "I just don't know…Come on, we'd best get back to Grimmauld."

Hermione nodded, she grabbed onto his waist in a hug as Remus Disapparated.

The two ran into Number 12, and Remus immediately looked at Molly Weasley.

"Molly! Harry's…"

"Gone?" she whispered. "Yes…we know." She held up a letter.

Remus took it from her hand, looking it over.

Dear Remus,

I know you must've found out that I was gone by now. I won't tell you where I am, cause I know that you will immediately come and take me back home. Well, I'm sorry, Remus. But I just can't take this anymore. You all seem to think that you can just pile troubles onto me and that you can hide them by not telling me. All that does is add to my weight of troubles.

I'm taking this trip to try and find out who I really am. Am I Harry Potter, the son of James and Lily Potter and the Boy Who Lived? Or am I someone else entirely? That's what I need to find out.

I'll make sure to keep in constant contact with you, Remus. Tell everyone else that I'm perfectly safe and am having a great time.

I've even made some new friends! You'd kill them, though. They're so weird…man, especially Lust, Envy, Sloth, Gluttony and Hate. Don't ask about the names, they're the nicknames. Anyways, I gotta go. I'm supposed to be meeting Minako and Gabriel at the rave soon.

I'll try to mail you guys soon, just like I promised. And please don't worry about me. Send any mail with Hedwig. She knows where I am. But don't try to trace her. It won't work.

As Adrien would say, Peace Love and Donuts!

Harry

Lupin groaned. "You have got to be kidding me! He ran off to some other place and we can't even trace him! This is so damned stupid!"

Molly started crying. "Poor Harry…where is he? I'm so worried."

Unfortunately, once you get Molly crying, Hermione and Tonks soon followed suit.

Arthur, Ron, and Remus tried to calm them down.

Hopefully, since they couldn't find him, Harry would be able to keep himself out of trouble.

At least until they could find a way to find him.

Please stay safe, Harry. If something happens to you…I don't know what I'll do…

Lupin sighed. This was going to be a long summer.

A/N: I know, short chapter, but…well…someone brought up the whole OotP thing, so I decided to do a small chapter about them. We'll be seeing them later.

Hope you all enjoyed the chapter!
