Previously: "Where were you!" Uncle Vernon roared as the door opened. Aunt Petunia walked to the door to greet them. "Oh my goodness!

Chapter 6: "Home" and the Safe Place

"Oh my goodness! What happened!" Aunt Petunia shrieked. Harry covered the right side of his face.

"Boy! Get in here! What is your Aunt Petunia talking about?" Uncle Vernon said. Harry reluctantly walked in front of Uncle Vernon.

"Remove your hand", he said testily. Slowly Harry moved his hand, Uncle Vernon gasped, "Out of this house now you monster!" Rage boiled violently in Harry.

"Fine!" he screamed. Harry stomped to the cupboard, and began to pack his trunk. The trunk, and his broom (his wand also) went with him as he stormed out of the house.

"Harry!" Coco, and Apocalypse yelled after him. They followed him. Coco was the first to catch up to him. He turned towards her.

He shook her shoulders slightly, and said angrily, "I told you! Look at me! I'll never have any chances of being with Hermione, and what makes you think that the Ministry will want an auror who looks like this? I helped Hermione. I stood up for her! Look at me now. She's somewhere safe, and happy not even caring about me. What does Malfoy have that I don't?"

Coco held Harry's face in her hands, "It's ok."

Harry pushed her hands away, "NO IT ISN'T!" he bellowed, but his voice softened when he saw Coco's eyes grow sadder, "I'm sorry it's just…"

"I know. I know." Coco reassured Harry.

"Let's go. I know a place where we'll be safe, and we can send a letter to someone who can help."

Apocalypse looked at Coco, and back to Harry, "this would make a killer novella."

"A novilo?" Harry asked.

"Novella." Coco made a very very small smile.

"Let's go to the Grimmauld Place…" Apocalypse began, but Coco interrupted her.

"Let's go to your place." Coco said, staring at her friend.

"Harry needs a rest."

"But I live in America…" Apocalypse said.

"So! Aren't you up for a little triatholon?" Coco teased.

"Coco! I think my foot hurts, and I hate it there!" Apocalypse pleaded unaware that Coco was joking.

"I'm joking. We're going to Grimmauld Place," Coco said laughing.

"How are we going to get there?" Harry asked.

Coco smiled, "By a trap door, of course!"

"Trap door?" Harry repeated, confused.

"Yes, a trap door."

"But where?"

"The park."

"The park?"

"Yeah come on!"

Coco grabbed Harry's free hand, and one of Apocalypse's and walked quickly toward the park. They stopped at a tree, and she let go of their hands. She bent down, and pulled on the grass. Voila! There was a hidden staircase. Coco beckoned Apocalypse, and Harry toward the staircase. All three of them followed the staircase. At one point, even though she wasn't supposed to, Apocalypse took out her guns when she thought she heard someone.

"Who touched me!" she said alarmed.

"It was me, sorry," Coco apologized. They kept walking, and the hallway became tighter near the end they had to turn sideways to fit. They finally went through a narrow door, and found themselves in the main hall of Grimmauld Place.

"Wait," Harry began, "What about my face?" Coco turned to him in the hall.

"I'm not making any promises, but this might help", Coco said. She brushed out his hair to where it covered most of the right side of his face.

"That will have to do until something better can be made", she said.

"Thanks" he whispered.

"Well hello there!" Molly Weasley exclaimed, "Who are you dears?"

Coco said, "I'm Coco, this is Apocalypse Sith, and this is Harry Potter."

"Harry? Darling I didn't recognize you with all that hair in your face," Mrs. Weasley said walking toward Harry. Harry wanted to back away, but he didn't. Mrs. Weasley gently brushed the hair away from his face, and gasped.

"Child, what happened to you?"

"Nothing", Harry said bitterly, and put his hair back over his face; keeping his head bowed.

"It looks like a burn", Mrs. Weasley said worriedly.

"I don't want to talk about it", Harry said quietly.

"Are you sure?" Mrs. Weasley asked, Harry nodded, she sighed, "Well Harry come to the kitchen we'll see what we can do with that burn."

"It won't heal." Apocalypse said quietly, but Mrs. Weasley didn't seem to hear her. Coco pushed her friend on her arm.

"Come, come", Mrs. Weasley led the three to the kitchen, which was empty.

"Let's go!" Apocalypse whispered to Coco.

"I don't want to be here at all."

"Shush!" Coco said.

"Harry drink this. I'm sure it'll heal your burns," Mrs. Weasley said, handing Harry a small cup of black bubbling water. 'She thinks it will heal my burns', Harry thought, 'but it won't –like my heart'.

As if hearing his thoughts, Coco whispered to him quietly "Harry you, and I know it won't heal your burns or a broken heart, but try to mend your heart at least."

"You came earlier than usual, Harry" Mrs. Weasley said. "The Order members…" she stopped herself, and gasped.

"What?" Apocalypse asked, taking out her guns. Mrs. Weasley didn't answer.

"What?"

Kreacher, the old house elf, was quietly dragging a rolled up parchment that was laid at the table. When Kreacher heard Mrs. Weasley gasp he turned around, and hurried out of the room.

"Kreacher- get back here!" Mrs. Weasley yelled as Mrs. Black from her portrait screamed. Coco realizing what it was ran after Kreacher with Apocalypse, who had her guns ready.

Harry stared at Mrs. Weasley, "What was it that Kreacher took?", but after he saw the horror in her eyes, he ran after the house elf & the two girls. Damn! Harry thought as he ran to Kreacher's "room." After 3 seconds that house elf and the girls must've beenrunning 100 miles per second! Metaphorically speaking. Apocalypse finally tackled Kreacher.

"Give it back you little mono," Apocalypse growled, and grabbed the paper from him then smacked him with it, "Estupido!". She then handed the parchment to Coco, and grabbed Kreacher by the collar. The 4 of them Coco, Apocalypse, Harry, and Kreacher went back to the kitchen.

"What's in that?" Harry asked, pointing at the paper.

"Nothing Harry." Coco said.

When they were in the kitchen Fred, George, and Ginny Weasley were sitting at the table. When the four came in, the Weasley children got up, and crowded around Harry.

"Good to see ya' Mate!" Fred said, shaking Harry's hand.

"You had an ok summer?" Ron asked.

"Nice to see you again!" George said.

"Who are your friends?" Ginny seemed to be the only one to notice Coco, and Apocalypse. All heads turned in their direction. Harry was glad that he didn't answer Ron's question, and that no one took notice that his hair covered most of the right side of his face.

"I'm Coco" Coco introduced, and looked towards her friend. "This is Apocalypse Sith."

"Nice to meet you!" Ron said, looking at Coco.

"You got weird names," Fred said.

Coco just shrugged while Apocalypse said, "So? Got a problem with that, Fred?"

"You know our names?" Ginny asked, amazed.

"Yeah." Coco said, smiling.

"Who am I?" Ron asked.

"That's easy, too easy. You're Ron." Coco answered. Ron blushed.

"Does anyone want dinner? It's soup." There were several "Yeahs." Everyone sat at the table except for Apocalypse who calmly walked out of the kitchen.

"What's up with her?" George asked once Apocalypse left the room.

"I dunno." Harry said.

"Hey Harry, why is your hair covering most of your face?" Ron asked, barely noticing.

"Ron…" Mrs. Weasley warned, pouring soup in Ginny's bowl.

"Nothing" Harry mumbled. Ron knew when to drop it, especially in Harry's cases, so he dropped it. No one said anything of it during dinner.

"How was your summer dear?" Mrs. Weasley asked Harry.

"Oh", Harry mumbled, "Fine."

"Heard from Hermione yet?" Ron asked. Harry paused fromstirring his soup...
