Loyalty

Part 2-Dumbledores Plan

Disclaimer- Do I look like J.K Rowling to you? Yeah…didn't think so… Last time on Loyalty…

"Harry your room is the second one to the left, and once your done unpacking my mom has dinner ready."

"OK."

"If you need me my room is right next door."

"Thank you 'Mione. You don't know how much this means to me."

"Oh I think I have an idea."

'Harry help!' A scream echoed through his mind, but he couldn't do anything about it. He was stuck.

'Do something!'

'I can't! I can't get out!'

'Oh my god! Harry it's S…' A loud thump hit Harry's door and he finally opened it to reveal someone in a heap on the floor.

"Hermione!" Harry yelled jolting up in bed. Sweat covered his face as he quietly walked over and opened her door. She was lying in her bed sound asleep, so Harry walked back into his room and lay awake all night.

"Harry did you get any sleep last night?" Hermione asked handing him a plate of pancakes.

"Uh…"

"Don't lie to me. It won't work."

"No. I got about 2 hours and that's it."

"Harry what can I do to help you?"

"I don't know. Make these dreams go away."

"I can't do that, but I can talk to you about them. Tell me what they are all about."

"I can't."

"Harry you need to. This is not healthy. It's also not a smart idea, and you know I'm always here. Don't shut me out."

"Hermione I…"

"Morning dears." Cindy called pounding down the steps. "Are you ready for our yearly shopping trip 'Mione?"

"Yes, and I think Harry should come. It's not a good idea to leave him alone with dad."

"Yes, do you need any new clothes? I don't mean to be rude but the clothes you have on are dirty and at least 3 sizes to big."

"Well besides my school robed I've never worn anything of my own."

"Serious? That's horrible. Well we will be sure to get you things at the mall."

"Mall? I don't have any muggle money."

"It's ok. I have money."

"Oh no, I can't let you pay for me."

"Harry you deserve this." Hermione jumped in. "If someone says they are going to pay for something nod your head."

"What she said." Cindy laughed. "Come on, let's go."

Dumbledore sat in his office with an angry look on his face. "Where is Harry?"

"He is staying with the Grangers." Professor McGonagal said.

"Why is he there? That was not in the plan."

"What plan?" Lupin shouted. "We are talking about his life! Oh and by the way, while were at it let's all give Dumbledore a hand for killing 2 peoples lives. Mentally and physically."

"What are you talking about?"

"Dumbledore new Sirius was innocent. He knew Harry was being treated like shit, and most importantly he new Harry could go live with Sirius and have a somewhat happy life. But did he do anything about it? No."

"I did it for his best interest."

"Harry lived in a cupboard for 12 years of his life! How exactly is that his best interest? And now he is with Hermione and you want him to live here at Hogwarts? Leave him alone!"

"He is not safe there."

"He is! I have been watching over him myself and Hermione is really connecting with him. He has lost so many people in his life I'm surprised he hasn't locked himself in a room and never come out! That's what is going to happen to him if you force him to live at Hogwarts."

"I would never force him."

"Oh yes you would."

"I don't really like the way you are talking to me. I have to ask you to leave."

"Fine! I have to go look after Harry anyways. You know, like a responsible adult."

"McGonagal can you please go get Snape for me."

"Sure." She said and about 10 minuets later professor Snape walked into his office.

"Severes."

"Dumbledore, you wanted to see me?"

"Yes. I have a very important job for you but you must not get caught."

"I like the way this conversation is going."

"There are many things Harry doesn't know and I need to be the one to tell him, but to do that I need him here at Hogwarts, not with the Grangers."

"What do you want me to do?"

"I need Harry to realize that staying with them puts their lives in danger. Scare him, but don't hurt anyone in the process. Badly."

"It will be my pleasure."

"Harry dear. No that's all wrong." Cindy said putting the pile of clothes back on the hangers. "I've never shopped for a boy before but I know that doesn't look good."

"Well I don't know what I'm doing either." He confessed.

"You people are hopeless." Hermione cut in. "If I was a girl, ok I am a girl, I would be attracted to something more like this."

Harry laughed and walked into the dressing room. Hermione had good taste. So after about 3 hours of shopping and a bagillion bags later the car pulled back into the Granger house.

'It's really hot." Cindy complained. "Why don't you go swimming today? Our new pool hasn't even been used!"

"That sounds great!" Harry said.

"Uh…I'm actually really cold, don't feel like swimming."

"'Mione your sweating, and your in a turtle neck."

"Yeah…Uh…"

"Hermione what's wrong?" Cindy asked.

"Nothing mum, god, I just don't want to swim!" she yelled and stormed up to her room.

"I wonder wh…" Harry stopped mid-sentence when something clicked in his brain. "I know what's wrong." He slowly entered Hermione's room and sat down next to her on the bed.

"Can I see it?"

"See what?" she asked.

"The reason why you don't want to swim."

"Harry I don't know what you're talking about."

"Yes you do. I want to see it. I want to see what I did to you."

"Harry you didn't do anything to me!" she yelled. "See? This is why I wanted to keep it a secret!" she pulled down the color of her shirt and revealed a star shaped scar just below her neck.

"Oh my god."

"Don't say anything Harry."

"But…"

"No buts! You didn't do anything to me. I wasn't paying attention, it's my own fault."

"Hermio…"

"Harry repeat after me." She said sitting in front of him and putting her hands on his cheeks. "I Harry Potter."

"This is no.."

"I Harry Potter!" she said louder.

"I Harry Potter.

"Did not."

"Did not."

"Hurt Hermione Granger."

"Hurt Hermione Granger."

"In any way shape or form."

"In any way shape or form."

"And she is the coolest person alive."

"And she is the coo…Hey!" he laughed.

"Sorry just had to add that in there." She pulled him into a tight hug. 'Don't ever think the worst of yourself."

"Hem hem…" Hermione whipped her head around and saw her dad standing in the doorway.

"Rules." He said.

"Dad the doors open. What's wrong with giving my best friend a hug?"

"Hugs are the leading cause of pregnancy."

"Dad!" she shouted. "I can't believe you just said that!"

"Someone had to."

"Please get out of my room."

"hey I don't like that tome missy."

"I said please."

"Ok fine." He put two fingers up at his eyes and then pointed them at Harry.

"Go!" Hermione yelled.

"All right, all right. I rented movies for us to watch later."

"Ok."

"Bye."

"Oh my goodness I am so embarrassed."

"I like your dad." Harry said. "He cares a lot about you."

"I really care about him to. I don't know what I would do if I lost him."

An awkward moment of silence followed and then Harry and Hermione went downstairs and watched Pirates of the Caribbean with jack and Cindy.
