p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px;"Harry woke up with a heavy weight on his chest all he could see was a yellow blur on his chest. He reached out and felt for his glasses as he tried to think what the mysterious weight was. He placed his glasses on his face and ended up looking in to the bright blue eyes of Astoria./p
p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px;""Sorry didn't mean to wake you" he said apologetically/p
p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px;""That's alright" she murmured though a yawn/p
p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px;"She then froze when she realized where she was and started to blush profoundly. He smiled as she looked away seemingly turning shy. He just pulled her back into his embrace./p
p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px;""I suppose we had better get up before your parents find us"/p
p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px;""Too late" Astoria's mother said amusedly from the door way/p
p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px;"Both teens looked over both to shocked to say anything. They both looked at each other wide eyed before looking back at each other wide eyed before looking back towards the doorway./p
p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px;""Morning" the teens replied warily/p
p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px;""Don't worry you aren't in trouble but I expect you both down stairs and dressed in ten minutes. Oh and tori you will need to help harry as he will still be feeling a bit weak from his injury's" she said before she walked out the room leaving both harry and Astoria confused./p
p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px;""Well that was awkward" harry said after a moment/p
p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px;""At least were not in trouble" Astoria said trying to lighten the mood/p
p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px;""Yes but this is not how I imagined I would meet your mother for the first time" Astoria openly laughed/p
p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px;""Yeh well she knows how I feel about you, so she probably expected something like this to happen soon enough."/p
p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px;""What do you mean 'how you feel about me'?"/p
p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px;""She questioned me while we healed yesterday and guessed that I wanted to be more than friends" she replied shyly./p
p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px;""Well we had better get up and dressed….. I haven't got any clothes."/p
p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px;""Well I am fine with that" Astoria said with a smirk as she gave him a lingering kiss/p
p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px;""Yes well I am sure everyone would like me to go down in my birthday suit as well." He replied between kisses/p
p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px;""Well you can borrow my gown and where those pj's for now" she replied as she got out of the bed and headed for the door. "I will be back in a minuet with a dressing gown you stay right there."/p
p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px;"She arrived back five minutes later wearing skimpy looking shorts which showed off her long creamy legs that must have been clean shaven and a tight fitting t-shirt which defined all her curves./p
p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px;""Like what you see?" she asked as she looked at the floor slightly worried about his reaction when she noticed him looking her up and down./p
p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px;""Oh yes "he replied smirking/p
p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px;""Good I hoped you would" she replied looking up at him blushing. She walked over to him and helped him up./p
p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px;""Any idea how long until I will be able to walk normally again?"/p
p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px;""Well seeing as someone chopped your knee cap in half and it got infected, a week at soonest but probably two maybe three. St Mungos would have you up and about in a few days but with you on the run at the moment I decided that it was a bad idea luckily mum agreed dad took some persuading as technically you're a convicted murderer but I pointed out you were unarmed."/p
p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px;""It's not my fault is it? But thanks anyway" he said gratefully as he kissed her on the cheek./p
p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px;""No I suppose not and you're welcome now time to meet the parents" she laughed as he pailed considerably/p
p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px;""Morning mum, dad, daph" she said as they entered the dining room/p
p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px;""Morning" they all replied/p
p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px;"He noticed her mother smiled warmly while the father looked at him as if trying to read his mind, but then isn't that what the girls farther does and Daphne just looked confused as she looked at him. Astoria helped him to a seat and sat next to him./p
p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px;""Feeling tender?" her mother asked/p
p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px;""Just a little, and thank you for your help yesterday" he replied sincerely/p
p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px;""That's quite alright, but just wandering why chooses us?"/p
p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px;"Harry's eyes darkened/p
p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px;""I have no were else left. Tori here is the only person that I know believes me. Well maybe my god farther but I don't know where he is at the moment" he was interrupted by the house elf bringing in the meal and the prophet./p
p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px;""Hey look you made front page….again" tori said with distaste./p
p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px;""Anything good?" he asked after a minuet./p
p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px;""Only that you were right and everyone else was wrong oh and Voldemort broke into the ministry, murdered you and now no one knows if you're dead or alive as no one knows where you are. It also has a picture of you being hit with the killing curse" She said as if it was any other day. Meanwhile the rest of the family had looks of shock awe and disbelief on their faces./p
p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px;"Daphne broke the silence "wait. you took another killing curse?" she asked eyes wide/p
p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px;"He looked thoughtful before answering "ummm yup boke a rib, or well that's what it feels like."/p
p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px;""You did have a broken rib on the left"/p
p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px;""Yup it broke a rib"/p
p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px;"Astoria continued onto the next page "wow that was quick the Wizengamot has already voted fudge out of office and cleared you."/p
p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px;""So Mr Potter..."/p
p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px;""Mr Greengrass its harry, please."/p
p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px;""Well then call me Paul and this is Astrid." He said pointing to his wife "what are you going to do now your proven innocent?"/p
p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px;""Well I think I will keep hiding and recover until school starts."/p
p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px;""You're going back to Hogwarts?" he replied surprise evident in his tone/p
p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px;""Well you can stay as long as you need." Astrid says before her husband can say anything./p
p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px;""Thank you" he replies/p
p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px;""My only question is, is it worth it you having your own room or should we just put you in with tori as you two seem comfortable sharing a bed?" Paul asked with a smirk/p
p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px;""DAD" Astoria shouted in outrage as harry blushed Astrid giggled and Daphne's eyes bulged./p
p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px;"The banter continued for a while before Fawkes flamed in with a letter from Dumbledore./p
p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px;"emHarry/em/p
p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px;"emWe all are terribly sorry for not believing you but we do now. We all feel really bad and your friends miss you. You need to come to the burrow so I can take you to your relative's house to recharge the wards as you will be safest there. Someone will be there 1 week before school starts to pick you up and take you to see your friends./em/p
p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px;"emFawkes will stay and await your reply/em/p
p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px;"emProfessor Dumbledore/em/p
p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px;"Harry didn't know if he should be angry or start laughing at Dumbledore stupidity as he passed the letter around. Astoria's face was a picture after she read it. Her face contorted with anger./p
p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px;""He really thinks that you will just listen to him again and he thinks you will go back to your relatives without a fight." She said as she grabbed a quill and parchment to write a reply./p

p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px;""Yeh we told you he was innocent" Sirius murmured just loud enough for several people next to him to hear./p
p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px;""Well I have sent Mr Potter a letter using Fawkes and I am awaiting a reply now."/p
p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px;"He was interrupted by Fawkes flaming in with Astoria's reply in his talons./p

p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px;"emI am sorry but at this moment in time harry is unable to journey anywhere especially to his despicable 'relative's'. As thanks to you and your lackeys putting him in Azkaban, he is still recovering from the extensive torture he was placed under by death eaters during his capture by Voldemort. Due to his wounds he is in no fit state to travel anywhere and most certainly not to the Dursley's./em/p
p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px;"emAs for his friends 'missing him' as you put he might miss them to if they didn't lie to a court to have him thrown away in Azkaban. They will be able to see him on September first for school/em/p

p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px;"The whole room was in shock after the letter had been passed around Sirius was giggling about the name that 'A' called Dumbledore.

And the questions they were all asking were 'how badly hurt is he.' and 'who was "A"?'/p
p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px;"Sirius and Remus shared a look. They were going to find harry and do whatever they could to help him get better as quick as possible./p

p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px;""We need to go Gringotts this afternoon so you can claim your vaults and get your clothes of your own" Astrid said to harry who just nodded./p
p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px;"He had been told by Astoria back in third year about his vaults and everything he had originally suspected the Dumbledore would tell him at the end of forth year but he was unsure about that now./p
p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px;""Can we go and relax in the pool mum?" Astoria asked her mother/p
p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px;""Yes you can but you need to transfigure something for harry to wear as skinny dipping is out of the question" her mother replied with a look that harry couldn't understand./p
p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px;"Both teens blushed and Daphne laughed at her sister's discomfort. The all left to go upstairs and get changed./p
p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px;"In the end Paul had helped harry transfigure some trunks and helped him down to the pool which was where he was now sat waiting for Astoria and Daphne./p
p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px;"Daphne who had originally been a bit cold towards him had warmed up to him as she put her ice queen mask away./p
p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px;"He sat there waiting for about five minutes with his feet in the pool before they arrived./p
p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px;"He heard Daphne saying something about all blood leaving and fainting but couldn't understand it so he turned around. Daphne was wearing a tight fitting one piece while Astoria stood there in a towel with a grin that told him she was up to something. She let the towel fall to the floor revealing a two piece bikini that left little to the imagination. He felt his mouth fall open./p
p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px;""You look…" he stammered/p
p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px;""Ravishing, exquisite?" Daphne finished for him/p

p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px;"Astoria just blushed and said nothing as they helped harry into the deep end of the pool where he managed to stand on his own for the first time since he thrown in Azkaban. He then walked slowly over to the shallow end where the girls helped him sit down. They helped catch harry up on the latest gossip since he had been incarcerated./p
p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px;"Daphne excused herself saying she had home work to do still./p
p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px;""So what are we exactly as in what's happening between us?" harry asked Astoria breathlessly after a rather intense make out session./p
p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px;""Well I was assuming that we are going out. Was I wrong to assume that?" she replied a bit unsure of herself./p
p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px;""No that sounds perfect" he replied giving her a chaste kiss on the corner of her mouth/p
p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px;"She shifted position so he was no straddling his lap resting her head on his shoulder. They sat like that relishing the skin contact and enjoying the company./p
p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px;"Astrid found them like that 10 minutes later./p
p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px;""Come on you two time to get ready we have a port key that is leaving in 1 hour"/p
p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px;""Why can't we flu or apparate?" Astoria asked/p
p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px;""Because Harry's knee isn't fully healed yet, maybe the goblins can do something about it." Astrid replied "oh and we are going to place some glamor's on you harry so no one recognises you."/p
