A/N: Ok heres the second chapter! Its a bit long well at least i think it is :P


Last Chapter

Once inside he went to his trunk and notice he didn't have a piece of parchment. Harry bit his lower lip thinking of where he can get something to write on.

He then ran to Dudley's room, he noticed that nobody was there so he took a piece of paper and pencil out, then began to write.


Chapter 2: Surprises

Dear Ginny,

My summer, sort of busy Lupin has being in and out checking on me. Glad everything is ok over there. Well See you in two weeks tell Ron I said Hi. And sorry I couldn't write him a letter.

your friend,

harry

'I can't believe him', Ginny wrinkled her nose at the thought. How ignorant can he be after waiting for a reply this long he should at least send a letter with more than three sentences.

Ughh, I hate when he acts like that, she though. Why those he have to distance himself from the people that love him, She looked at the letter one more time and notice something about it. At the end of the letter you could sort of notice that he erased something that he wrote before friend.

"Is that a letter from Harry", somebody in back of Ginny asked. She jumped up slighty. Then turned around to face the new comer.

"Sorry didn't mean to scare you", said Tonks grinning.

"Its ok, and yeah its from him", She said lifting up her hand to show the letter.

"So what did he say", she asked eagerly while seating down next to her.

"Nothing much", Ginny sighed disappointedly.

There was a moment of silence for a couple of seconds before Tonks, jumped up like she just remembered something.

"What?", Ginny asked.

"I forgot to tell you, Fleur is looking for you, the brides maid dresses just arrive and they want you to go try them on"

"Oh really, well lets go down and see them", Ginny stood up and headed to the door, but looked back when she noticed that Tonks wasn't following.

"What's wrong?"

"Ginny I need to tell you something else but promise me you wont tell no one at least not yet"

"Um ok"

"Lupin and me are getting marry", Tonks said excitedly.

Ginny shriek in delight, "Oh my God! I can't believe it, When, and how did he ask you, details!"

Tonks laughed delighted with herself.

"Ok well, he asked me yesterday... and how well we were walking and he sort of just popped out with the question, but, Ginny don't tell no one yet, why because we want to wait so we can tell everyone in Bill's wedding so we can get everyone at the same time!"

"Don't worry I won't", Ginny said.

"Thanks, its a load of my mind to tell at least somebody!" Tonks said relived.

"Anyways lets head down to see those dresses",Tonks said enthusiasts.

They hurry down to the living room were they found Fleur exclaiming in delight each time she opened each time she opened a bag which held a dress.

"Oh an loooked ad dis one, Molly, Ids the one for yu", She said handing her a beautiful dress, color royal blue...

Molly to screaming in delight. Fleur than turned and noticed that Ginny was present.

"Finally wat took yu so longed, heres is da one for yu isn't it beautifull", Fleur handed her a silk, light green dress sort of lime color, it was long, spaghetti strap and the front was designed to look like there was cute tiny flowers that made the dress looked so sophisticated.

Ginny gasped when she saw it, seen it in paper is one thing but, actually holding it in her hands it was the most elegant thing she ever seen or owned.

"Can I try it on"

"Of course dear, go see if it fits you right", Miss Weasleysaid.

Ginny nodded her face in agreement, then carefully leveling the dress to the right position so it won't get wrinkled, headed to her room to try on the dress.

Once inside she undressed herself, and carefully put on the dress.

She stood in front of the mirror admiring the sight, the dress did make her look elegant, it was splendid. The thought of herself in the wedding day wearing the dress, and Harry there. He will see her and hopefully he'll love the dress as well.

With a last glance at the mirror she headed to the living room so everyone else could admire the look. She slowly descended from the stairs, to her it was the weirdest feeling, suddenly for no reason at all she started panicking what if it didn't look good on her. What if it made her look fat or horrid.

"Ohh Ginny you look beautiful", She heard Tonks shout out.

"You think so", Ginny said .

"Yes, my baby, she is all grown up", Said Miss Weasley with tears in her eyes.

"Oh mum", Ginny said.

"Oh id does loook so cude, id just hope id loooks ads good on me sister", Fleur said.

"I thought you wanted her to wear pink", Ginny said.

"Oh Id did but it turns out she wanted to look "sophisticated" to da wedding and she happens to luv dis color ", Fleur said shrugging her shoulders, while mumbling a last part, that sounded something like her sister trying to impress a guy.

At the moment they heard a knocking at the door.

"Who is it?", called out Miss Weasley.

"Its me mum", answered Bill.

Fleur ran to the door ready to open it.

"No Fleur, remember the security question you have ask him!".

"Oh sorry id forgot, hold on". She thought for a second.

"Ok Bill, when is da day of oud wedding", Fleur said excitingly.

"Its in two weeks", Bill answered.

"Ids him!", Fleur said letting him in.

That wasn't much of a question thought Ginny anybody could have know that. Her thought were interrupted by Miss Weasley.

"Well I'm just saying you should think of a better question Fleur-----", Miss Weasley was then the one interrupted by Bill.

"Ginny is that you, I'm sorry to tell you this but, that better not be the dress your wearing to the wedding", Bill said to her.

"WHY!", asked Ginny angrily.

"Why because Fleur is suppose to the most beautiful lady there, not my sister",

"Oh Bill", Miss Weasley said.

"Really Ginny, the dress, it looks good", Bill said.

"I better tell the twins to keep an eye on you, don't want any guys, well you know", Bill said in a teasing voice.

"Shut up Bill", Ginny said laughing.


Harry lay on his bed tossing a baseball, each time time with more force so the ball could fall down faster. White dust was falling from the ceiling he couldn't see it because his room was so dark but, he could feel it falling on his face and hair.

He was bored out of skull , he even finish reading a couple a books, something that will receive him an approval from Hermione.

He looked at the gleam of light that escaped the drapes into the room. He thought about standing up to close the drapes right, but felt to lazy, plus theres no harm in allowing a little light once in a while. But lately he had this urge to be in darkness, it brought a certain comfort in him.

He extended his hand so he could see the watch in his wrist, but it was to dark to see the time. So he squinted his eyes in an effort. He made out the time to be 9:48 a.m.

Lupin said he will be here at 10:00, but didn't say for what when he send him the letter. Harry really didn't question this it has been like this, Lupin pays his weekly visits and they talk about Harry's plans to moving in to Godric Hollow.

Not only that but, about the training he will receive and such.

"Harry!", yelled Dudley while knocking on the door.

"What'da you want", Harry asked in a bored voice.

"Mum said to get your ass done here to eat", He said angrily.

"I'm not hungry", replied Harry.

"Well Potter, you go tell her that because I'm not doing no errand for you", Dudley said annoyed.

Harry stood up, I guess I have no choice he thought to himself.

He open the door slowly almost degradingly, he had no desire of walking out of his room.

Once inside the kitchen hetold them allthat he wouldn't be eating breakfast with them on account that he wasn't hungry.

"Sure boy, don't eat, starve to death see if any of us care", Uncle Vernon said, while Petunia gave him a scowling look for not eating.

"Right well I'll be upstairs" Harry nodded his head toward his room.

Just then the doorbell rang, Harry looked at his watch automatically had it been 12 minutes already.

He went to the door to opened it and sure as he was, there was Lupin standing. Something he learn about Lupin this summer that he didn't know before, is that he tends to be always on time no matter what.

"So Harry are you ready to go", asked Lupin.

"For what", asked Harry surprise. It surprise him because the usual visits just envolve talking in Harry's room never going somewhere.

"Oh I forgot to tell you in the letter, we are going to buy you some clothes for the wedding, Molly asked me to do so", Lupin said amusingly.

"So were going 'shopping' ", said Harry in a disgusted tone, he never really mined going to buy robes,books, and school stuffforHogwarts but, clothes and with Lupin he really didn't fancy that.

"Oh come on, it will be fun we could gossip", Lupin said laughing in spite of himself.

Harry laughed too.

"Hold on let me go grab some money", Harry said still laughing. As he walked up the stairs he couldn't help but, notice how cheerful Lupin was acting, wonder whats up with him he thought.

"Ok ready" He said once he had gone and come back from retrieving the money.

"Ok lets go, aren't you going to tell the Dursley your leaving", asked Lupin.

"They probably won't even notice", Harry said closing the door behind them.

"You sure", asked Lupin.

"Yeah, come on, so how we getting there" Harry asked.

"Were apparating and since your not legally old enough to do so I'll be doing the apparating for the both of us", He got him and lead him to an alley so no one could see them then 'crack'.

The familiar sensation of apparation swept over Harry. He opened his eyes shocked because he didn't remember closing them, when he notice that it all had stop.

Diagon Alley was deserted, I wouldn't be surprise if a see a tumbleweed rolling in the streets Harry thought.

Lupin moved his hand toward the direction of a shop and motion to go in there. Harry nodded in agreement. Once inside Harry notice that there was only a 3 people inside aside from him and Lupin. Two who seem to be costumers and the other the owner.

They both walked over to the display of tux, Lupin scratched his head in concentration.

"Well I never been one to know what to wear, so I'll just let you pick yours, anything will be fine, I guess".

"What about you, aren't you going to buy something to wear"

"Oh me um--

"I'll pay" offered Harry, he really didn't mind at all he had quite a fortune now. Counting his parents and Sirius.

"That is very thoughtful of you Harry, but no thanks Tonks and I already have what we are going to wear. We went looking the other day. Well actually she was the one doing all the looking cause i'm pathetic at this kind of stuff, I mean she picked up my dress robes".

Harry nodded.

"So yeah, what about this one", Harry said pointing to a suit.

"I guess its fine:

"Yeah me too, I'll just go and try it on"

"Yeah sure".

Harry stepped inside a dressing room. The tux fitted him perfectly. I guess i'll take it he thought.

He went outside to see if Lupin approved of it which he did.

After paying for the tux, Lupin asked if they should go to the Leaky Cauldron to order something to eat on account that he was hungry.

Harry agreed since he too was now hungry.

Once inside the two went to settle on a table while waiting for there orders.

"So Harry, I'm sure you know there won't be no Hogwarts next year,I mention it to you right?"

"Um yeah" Harry said.

"Well I been meaning to tell you, I have an idea an I already told some of the Order members about it and they agree so here it goes. Why don't we put the same charm on your parents house that it use to have"

"What?" asked Harry not really comprehending what Lupin was telling him.

"That we could put the charm it use to have, you know have a safe keeper that will hold the information on the exact whereabout of the house."

"But doesn't Voldemort already know", Harry asked. Lupin jumped a bit at the mention of Voldemort's name.

"Well he knew the old whereabouts but if he do anew spell he wont know the new whereabouts and only those that you want to know will know", Lupin said.

Harry was silent for a minute thinking about it. It does seem like a good idea why hadn't he thought about it before.

"Well yeah, i like that but, who will be the safe keeper guy?", He asked.

"That is up to you, who do you trust to keep it safe, oh and Harry I offer myself to keep it if you want, you know that I would rather die than betray you", Harry smiled at the comment.

"But won't Voldemort go after you", Harry said.

"Yeah and so will he go after Ron and Hermione if he thinks they have it, since he knows that your really good friends with them and he will probably think they will be the keepers. That's why I'm telling you that I could be it since he probably wont suspect me as much".

Harry thought about that, well he does have a point .

"Um let me think about it fora while and I'll get back to you on that", Harry told him.

"Yea sure", Agreed Lupin pleased with himself that Harry was giving consideration to his plan.

Just then a waitress arrive with there meal.

"Lets dig in", Lupin said hungrily.

The two guys devoured there meal in less than 5 minutes and after a satisfy growled that escaped Lupin they paid their meal so they could head out.

Once again they were back to the alley that is near, the Dursley house.

"So Harry," Lupin began while walking him back to the Dursley.

"I'll be back to check on you next week, and then the week after that i'll come to pick you up for the wedding, I have a question though, Do you want to go to the Burrow a day before the wedding or arrive the day of", asked Lupin

Harry stood silent for a moment thinking, should I go early or what.

"Um Lupin i'll go the day of the wedding, I'm going to have to come back anyways to get my stuff, so i could move to Godric hollow. Nah I just think it will be easier, plus i'll just get in peoples way if i go there a day before everybody is going to be busy and I don't fancy doing chores", Harry said the last part with a sort of asmile.

Lupin nodded to show he understood.

"Oh well i'll see you next week, bye Harry", and with that Lupin apparated to where ever he was going.

Harry stood there looking at the empty space that Lupin once stood. If only he knew that the main reasons why he didn't want to go to the burrow early was because not only didn't he want to do chores but, well the Weasley's family are all going to be there and its going to be a time of family for them getting everything ready and as much as they include him. He isn't part of their family.

He knew that he was probably being ignorant or something like that, but lately he couldn't help but feel that. That he had to distance himself from the people he cares for there own good, just like he did with Ginny.

And for them he will do anything to keep them safe.
