Harry ran with all of his might from Grimmauld Place, not knowing what they might be hiding from him, and utterly consumed with it. He was sure if it was anything bad, Professor Dumbledore would inform him of it, as he had done with the prophecy, after many of his posessions had been destroyed.
What could they be hiding from me now? he kept asking himself, although he didn't have the foggiest idea.
After hours of running, he was in an unfamiliar part of London. He was sure no one would be able to follow him, since he had twisted his trail around so many times that he wasn't quite sure how to untangle it himself. He allowed himself a bit of a rest, before he would start to run again.
Maybe if I stay away, they won't try and find me, he thought to himself,
although he knew it was selfish of himself to think this way.
"Did anyone see Harry?" Remus asked the people downstairs. They all looked at him and nodded.
"We've put a tail on him," Molly said quietly. "After what Arthur told the rest of us, we figured he wouldn't want to be disturbed, so we let him go. Tonks is trailing him.
"Thank god!" Remus exclaimed. "Now, if she doesn't lose herself, as well as him, we should be fine!
Tonks was indeed on Harry's trail. She had noticed how utterly woe begone he had looked, and decided to give him some space. Wherever he went, she was there, if only for an instant. Sometimes it had meant apparating away whenever he looked up, and sometimes it meant getting out of some extraordinary circumstances.
One time, a muggle please officer had thought she was stalking him. At least, that is what the muggle who had reported her to the police had said. It took her several moments to explain to the officer that she was just window shopping, and she had seen someone whom she had thought was attractive, and her eyes had been tracking him, but nothing more.
In the endm she had had to obliviate his memory, but the damage had already been done. Harry had spotted her, and she disapparated away as he raced up to her.
Harry sat on a park bench in the center of London, and watched the crowd around him. No one here would even think that there was more than one world. No one here would believe their was a magical world. Maybe if I can just blend in a little, he thought.
It was as he started walking into the crowd that he knew that there was something he couldn't leave behind, but knew he should. If he left her behind, she wouldn't be hurt by Voldemort when he finally came for Harry.
He had decided. He would blend into the muggle world. He knew it was wrong, however he knew it must be done.
Tonks apparated back to Grimmauld Place looked disappointed. Remus was beside her asking her for details.
"I got held up by a muggle police officer. I lost his trail.
Remus did not like the sound of that. He told her to find Harry if it was at all possible. He would not let Harry disappear from his life like Sirius, Lily, and James had all done.
"I promised them if anything happened, I would be here for him. Now,
Petunia is here, and it's just like old times. I'm talking more to her
about everything than I could them at most times, and now it's hurting
Harry, just like it did to Lily, and James. Sirius never really cared
whom I talked to, but I could tell it hurt him also.
"No need to worry about that Remus," Dumbledore said. "I have a feeling Harry will find his way back to us. We just have to keep the secret safe a little longer. I'm sorry.
"Would Lily and James actually allow you to keep doing this to their son Albus?" Remus screamed at Dumbledore. "You knew them almost as well as I did. I mean, you knew them just as well as I did. Being Harry's grandfather and all, and yet you keep watching him from a distance? How can you stand to be yourself?
"You already know the answer to that Remus. I have to keep my distance so that Voldemort doesn't know anything. It hurts more than even you can imagine.
Harry kept running, and found himself in front of a familiar place. He was once again outside Grimmauld Place. As he opened the door, he crashed to the floor.
