Chapter 5:

-Order Headquarters; 2 days later-

"Sir, can Harry come over for the rest of the summer?" Ron asked Professor Dumbledore.

"Yes, Mr. Weasley, he can. The guard is…" Professor Dumbledore started to say.

"He wasn't there, Albus." Mad-Eye said. "But we found a note addressed to you."

Dumbledore took the note (A/N: The note Harry wrote in the last chapter), opened it and read it. He paled visibly. Then said, "He ran-away from the Dursleys and it didn't say where he was going; omly that he'll see us at school."

No one saw a small smile appear on Minerva's face. She thought to herself, 'nice letter, Harry'

"When did he leave?" One person asked.

"He left 2 days ago." Dumbledore said.

"Why did he leave?" Ron asked.

"He said he was being treated; the way he described it; as a house-elf." Dumbledore said.

"We have told you so many times how he was being treated and you didn't listen to us." Hermione said. Then she got up and ran from the room crying and Ron went after her.

'Why do I have an odd feeling I've jest made the 2nd biggest mistake about Harry.' Dumbledore thought to himself

WITH RON AND HERMIONE

Hemione ran upstairs to the room that she shaired with Ginny. She flung herself on to one of the beds and cried into the pillow.

Ron was right behind her. He too; was upset at Dumbledore for not getting Harry out of there sooner. Hermione had told him something that she needs to tell Harry. He walked over to the bed and sat down next to her and said softly, "Hermione, he's going to be ok" Then he started to rub her back.

Hermione sat up slowly, wiped some tears from her eyes, and asked, "How do you know?"

"He's faced Vorldemort four times sence we came to school." Ron said as he noticed a small smile appeared on Hermione's face, then asked, "Why are you smiling?"

"You said his name without stuttering, shuttering, and you didn't say 'You-Know-Who'." Hermione said as her smile got a little bigger.

"I did?!?"Ron asked, shocked.

"Yes, you did." Hermione said. "Thanks for makeing me feel a little bit better."

"No problem." Ron said.

"Do you have any idea where he might have gone?" Hermoine asked.

"None." Ron said as he got up off the bed and started to pace. "But he didn't go into the Wizarding World, because he's too well known; so he must have stayed in the muggle world; but where, is the question."

"What are you thinking about?" Hermione asked.

"Is there a place in the muggle world for troubled teens to go to for help?" Ron asked as he turned to face Hermione.

"Yes. Why?" Hermione asked back.

"What if Harry found one of those places, he could possibly be there" Ron said.

"Ron, when did you start using your brain?" Hermione asked joking.

"When I got hit with one of the brains in the DOM." Ron said joking back.

"My mom let me borrow her lap-top. So we can start looking for teen-protection centers on the internet." Hermione said. She wanted to find Harry so badly.

"What's a 'lap-top'?" Ron asked.

"A traveling computer, it can go with me anywhere." Hemione answered. "Professor Dumbledore charmed it to work without electricity."

"Cool." Ron said

Hermione got up off the bed walked over to the desk; picked up something that looked like a black box, opened it and turned it on. Then said, "All we have to do is wait for it to downloaded."

"OK." Ron said.

WITH HARRY

"Granddad, can I write to my friends to tell them not to worry." Harry asked.

"Yes, Harry, you can." Grandfather said.

Harry now knew why Petunia never knew she grew up in a wizarding town because there were some muggles (that knew about magic), and smoe squibs. But he also found out that his parents died in this town. Both the Evans and the Potters have lived in Godric's Hollow for almost 1000 year, ever since it was created by Godric Gryffindor.

Harry gave his grandfather a hug, then went upstairs to his room to write a letter to his friends.

-Ron & Hermione,

I'm sorry for my lkittle brake out. But right now the only person who knows where I am is Professor McGonagall. If you what to see me before school starts again, talk to her. But do this when Professor Dumbledore isn't there.

-Harry

"Hedwig, can you take this to Ron or Hermione?" Harry asked his owl. She hooted 'yes.' Harry tied the letter to her leg and she flew out the open window.

Then he fell into a trance.

"Snape! Come forward. NOW!"

"Yes, my lord" Snape said in a robotic tone.

"There are reports that you are on longer loyal to me. Is this true?"

"No"

"You lie. But with you in the order, we can find out its plans." Voldemort said with a smerk.

But Snape blocked him.

"Imperio. Tell me where the Order is." Voldemort ordered.

Snape was strugling to throw the cruse off but Voldemort was to strong.

"Tell me!"

'Harry no longer wanted to be in his room. He wanted to help Snape so Voldemort couldn't find out where the order met...

When Harry opened his eyes he was no longer in his room. But he was in a dark room. He heard Voldemort say, "Tell me, now!", and know Voldemort was getting impatient.

Harry started running to get to Snape. When Harry got there, he saw Snape on the on the ground in pain from the Imperius Curse.

"Leave him alone, Voldemort!"

"You! But...but I killed you!"

Harry smerked. 'So tom thinks I'm my dad, this should be fun.' Then said, "Yea, you did but I thought I should come back and hunt Wormtail but I found you in stead." Harry rased his right hand and shouted, "relashio" at Snape. When Snape appared away.

Harry smiled, then said, "Bye, Riddle" Then he closed his eyes.

And when he opened them again; he was back in his room in front of one very upset grandfather.

"Where were you!?!" Grandfather asked.

"I think I was at Tom's hid out but I'm not sure." Harry answered softly.

"Why and when did you learn to apparate?" Grandfather asked

"I don't know. Riddle was torching Snap for answers about where the Order met; I had to stop Riddle because I'm not looking forward to losing any more people I LOVE!" Harry said as tears starting falling from his eyes. Then he went over to his bed and layed down and started crying into his pillow.

Over the past two days with his gradparents, he leared it was ok to be open about things and it's ok for a teenage boy to cry sometimes, too.

Grandfather came over to Harry; sat down on the bed next to him; and started rubbing Harry's back till he calm down. Harry then turned over to face Grandfather and said, "Thanks, Granddad."

"You're welcome, Harry." Grandfather answered back as he pulled Harry into a hug, which Harry returned.

A little later they broke the hug and Grandfather said, "Goodnight, kiddo."

Harry replied, "Goodnight, Granddad."

Grandfathers smiled softly, got up from the bed slowly, walked over to the door, then said, "See you in the morning." Then closed the bedroom door behind him.

Harry fell to sleep shortly after that.

"Harry, are you ready for more training?"Godric asked.

"Yes. Who am I going to train with to day?"

"Me." Salazar said.

"Ok"

"Today I'm going to train you in potoins." Salazar said.

Both Harry and Salazar got to work on boiling the potions that he already learned. Because Snape isn't the best teacher to learn from. While they where doing the potions Harry said, "Earler I receved a vision of Riddle trorching Snape because Riddle found out Snape is spying for Dumbledore. Riddle was trorching Snape to tell him where the order meet; I didn't want Riddle to find out; so I wished myself to Riddle's hidout so I could stop anything from happening to my freinds that are right now living where the Order meets. When I open my eyes I'm in a dark room, then I hear Riddle say, 'Tell me now; I run to where the voice is coming from. Riddle thinks I'm my dad, so I trick him and while doing that I free Snape from the Imperius Curse. He left and I did was close my eyes and when I open them again I'm infront of a very upset grandfather. Do you think I apparate?"

"You might have, Harry" Salazar replied. "Harry, there are 4 ghosts thats at Hogwarts that you might want to know about."

"Oh, and what ghosts are those be?"

"I think Sam and Nick change spots every school year. I believe this year it's Sam's turn to be Peeves and Nick's turn to be the Bloodly Barren. Emma is the Gray Lady and Lara is the ghost that is always with Emma." Salazar replied. "They've been waiting for the heir of Hogwarts to come. They are the ones that can protect him."

"Oh. My. God. Did you see what Nick did last year? Does anyone at the school know what Nick and Sam do?" Harry asked.

"Yes, I did. Harry no one knows this but you and you are the only one who can control the Peeves." Salazar said with a smile.

"Oh, great. I'm the only one who can control a polling pranks ghost, that will be fun though." Harry said with a smile.

"Remember the only way to control Peeves is by telling him you are going to revail who he really is." Salazar said.

"I'll remember that." Harry said. "I have to go now. Thanks for telling me about the four ghosts and teaching me in potions."

And with that Harry woke up.
