Summer of Realization

Chapter three: Explanations

They made their way up the steps to Harry's room. Harry and Ginny were leading the way with Tonks close behind. They were trying to be quiet as not to disturb his relatives, but try as she might Tonks tripped over her own two feet going up the steps.

Upon reaching the room, Harry flung the door open and angrily started piling his things in he trunk without a word. Tonks began to help Ginny, shrinking her trunk and putting it into her own pocket.

"Hey Harry, you go get your things from the bathroom and Ginny and I with finish up in here." Said Tonks taking some spell books out of his hands and throwing them into his trunk, while retrieving her wand from her pocket.

As Harry slumped off, angry glare still on his thin face, Tonks whispered to Ginny, "What happened before we came in? What did Harry's uncle say to him?"

"Well," she said with a blush on her pretty face, "we had fallen asleep on the couch and were on it when he came in. He started yelling at Harry and called me his whore."

"He called you Harry's whore?" said Tonks in a roaring voice, and dropping her wand.

"Yeah," she said looking at the floor.

"No wonder Harry was so upset, his uncle treated you awfully, and its obvious Harry likes you." Tonks said, quickly switching into teasing mode to lighten the situation, seeing she was upset by her encounter with Harry's uncle.

"Harry doesn't like me any more than anyone else," said Ginny quickly, her cheeks becoming more crimson by the second. "He was just sticking up for me."

"Well," said Tonks, with a sly grin, "what were you doing to lead Harry's uncle to believe you were going to shag?" She raised her eyebrows in comical peaks. "You said you fell asleep on the couch, and what, my I ask were you doing there?"

"We were just talking," she said quickly, too quickly. Tonks raised her brows once more, not looking convinced in the slightest. "We were! That's all we were doing Tonks! I swear!"

"What were you talking about then?"

"We were, we were just..."

"Just what, Ginny? About to shag?"

"No! We were just talking about Harry's childhood."

"Oh," said Tonks, taken aback, "that's alright then." She seemed a bit embarrassed that she has had found that out and quickly picked up her wand and returned to the packing, switching the subject.

Harry entered the bathroom with many thoughts running through his head. He should have never fallen asleep on the couch with Ginny. He knew she was probably hating him now, and he couldn't face that. He couldn't believe uncle Vernon had called her his whore. He did really, really like her, and he did want her to be his; but to call her a whore! He knew she had a boyfriend before, he remembered that she had been dating Michael Corner. (He also knew that she had made up that she dated Dean Thomas to rile Ron.) She was so beautiful; her petite figure, her shining scarlet locks, he couldn't lose her. But what his uncle did! Great Merlin, she must hate me now he thought over and over while gathering his shampoo, razor, and other toilet things.

Great, Remus Lupin thought, Ginny wasn't even at the Dursley's for a day and her and Harry had already gotten into trouble. He knew he had to talk to Harry about this, but didn't really want to. He hoped, at least he wouldn't have to give Harry the Talk.

He walked up the steps hoping he wouldn't have to try to many doors before he found Harry; but he got lucky and once he reached the landing he saw Harry's head pop out of the bathroom.

"Hullo, Professor Lupin," he greeted with a somewhat forced smile.

"Hey Harry, please call me Remus as I'm not your professor anymore." He gave a reassuring smile and placed a long arm around Harry's shoulders. "We need to talk about your relatives Harry."

"All right," he said confused, "what do you want to know pro-.. Remus?"

Remus didn't know how he was going to ask Harry about what he and Ginny were doing on the couch. "Your uncle said he walked into his living room and found you and Ginny on the couch together." he trailed off not knowing how to continue.

"Yeah, so?" he said pulling his hand through his messy hair.

"Your uncle said..., he said you two were in a, a very...compromising position ."

Harry's face took on a look of pure terror at these words, he almost crushed his glasses, which he hand been pushing up his nose, in his hand.. "A WHAT!"

"Harry your uncle said that you were laying on the couch with Ginny on top of you." He really didn't want to know where Harry's story was going to lead, but he knew he really needed to talk to him about it, he's only 15 after all!

"I know what your thinking Remus," he said hurriedly, "but me and Ginny did not shag. We just feel asleep talking and woke up when they came into the house."

Remus sighed and relaxed noticeably. "Oh good then, I won't have to talk to you about making good decisions, and waiting until you find the right person...you don't need me to give you the Talk, do you? he drifted off and blushed, realizing he had said that out loud.

"Really Remus, what kind of person do you think I am? And no I don't need the Talk." Harry said, cracking a smile and bursting into a fit of laughter, despite the darkening blush on his thin face.

Remus blushed again, "well your uncle was quite hysterical when I talked to him. Come on, let's go find those witches and then we can floo out of here." He turned from Harry and started down the hall, pausing and turning back to see Harry right behind him "you don't think Ginny is mad at me do you?" Harry looked tired and extremely worried.

"I don't think she blames you for what your uncle did Harry, but you should talk to her about it later." He smiled at the teen, it was becoming quite obvious to him that Harry had a thing for Ginny. "Which room is your's?"

"It's this one," he gestured to the door to the right, looking puzzled, " but Remus, why are we leaving so soon? Not that I'm complaining or anything, but the summer just started, I just got here."

"Tonk's and I will explain once we reach our destination, but come on now, you don't want us to leave you behind here do you?" he grinned as he grabbed Hedwig's cage from Tonks' hands and started back down the hall.
