Only A Little Further

Chapter 1

"Harry?" Aunt Petunia's voice came through Harry's bedroom door at Number 4 Privet Drive. "Err... Yes?" Harry answered, wondering what on earth had happened now. Aunt Petunia was talking to him sounding scared. She was being polite and seemed so concerned. "I need... To talk to you. Please open the door." Harry walked up to the door and pulled it open. Aunt Petunia's face was sweaty and full of fear. Harry gestured to his bed and Aunt Petunia walked there and sat down. Harry's Bedroom looked quite clean this time. He had not fully unpacked knowing he would be leaving in a few days to search for the rest of the horcruxes.

"Is – is – is true?" Aunt Petunia whispered. "Is Albus Dumbledore really gone?" Harry stared at her. Why was she so concerned? It's not like he meant anything to her! Yet, Harry just nodded. "Did … He kill him? The one that killed your parents? Lord Voldything?" Harry was still in disbelief. Aunt Petunia came to talk to him about Dumbledore? "No. It was done on his orders." "But.. But, isn't the world in danger now? That lord guy… Dumbledore's the only one he ever feared! Harry had never seen his aunt like this! How did she know about Dumbledore being the only one Voldemort feared? "How do you know?" Harry voiced his thoughts. "I heard James and Lily talking." She said simply. "You … You said there names!" Harry stuttered. "Well, she was my sister, wasn't she?" Aunt Petunia gave a feeble smile. "Yes…" was all Harry could say. "Harry, you hunt him down. Do what Dumbledore told you to do! That… Voldyguy is the reason you have no good family left behind! You have us but we aren't any good. We severely mistreated you, and I am very sorry! I truly am ashamed. If Lily had to raise Dudley – I'm sure she would have done better. I realized this when Dumbledore came here last summer. At first I didn't understand… Us? Mistreat Dudley? Well, we didn't. But he has become spoiled. A bully. Good for nothing. All those times we thought he was at a tea party he was out drinking, smoking, vandalizing and throwing rocks at people. But you, you aren't like that! May happiness and safety follow you wherever you go after this Harry. Just don't forget, I'm sorry! You deserve much better than us for you are pure of both mind and heart. Have a happy life Harry! And with that, Aunt Petunia and Harry hugged for the first time ever.


"Hey Harry!" Hermione greeted him at The Burrow. Harry had left the Number 4 Privet Drive for the very last time. He was at The Burrow for Bill and Fleur's wedding. Or should he say Phlegm? Anyways, the wedding would be in 2 weeks time and the Weasley household was BUSY! Decorations were being but up! Major cleaning was going on! Harry saw Ron working on a spell to put up extra rooms for all the guests coming. Even though The Burrow was now a magnificent white marble mansion. Ron, Fred and George had done it. They wanted their parents to be happy and now… The Weasleys had 2 house-elves.

One was Dobby, he left Hogwarts after Dumbledore's death, and he said he didn't feel right at Hogwarts without Dumbledore. So he decided to wok at The Burrow. Well, he didn't decide. He wanted Harry to be his new master but Harry insisted that he didn't need Dobby and the Wealseys did. But Dobby was just as happy to go to the Weasleys. He had taken his now sister with him, Winky. The other house-elf? Nope not Kreacher. But Dobby's girlfriend – Chestnut! They all were very happy working at the Burrow.

"So, how were the Muggles this time?" Hermione asked her and Ron's usual after the summer question. "Must've been happy, you last stay with them." "They were fine. Aunt Petunia had a talk with me. Said she's sorry for mistreating me and Voldemorts the reason I have no good family left behind so I should do what Dumbledore wants me to do and kill him. Now it's even more important, Hermione! Aunt Petunia wants me to do it. I've got to! I know I can! But I'm going to need yours and Ron's help, promise me, you'll help me no matter what?"
