Chapter 2- part two

Disclaimer-I do not own anything in this story, except for the plot and a few characters.

Harry awoke feeling better than he'd felt in a while. He'd been hanging out with Melenie, Romulus, and Cassidy for about two weeks now, and so far he was having a good summer. After getting dressed and eating breakfast, he headed to the park to meet Melenie. When he got there, he saw her standing with Cassidy and Romulus.

"Hey guys," Harry said and sat next to them.

"Hey," they said.

"So, what are we doing today?" Harry asked.

"Well, we're leaving today," said Romulus.

"Yeah, we're going to spend the rest of the summer at our father's house," said Melenie.

"Oh," said Harry. He didn't know they would be leaving so soon. He had gotten close to them; they were his new best friends.

"Don't worry Harry, I'm sure we'll see you again," Cassidy said.

"So what time are you leaving?" Harry asked.

"We told our mum we'd say good-bye to you and come right back," Melenie said.

Harry sighed. "Well, you'd better hurry up and go," he said.

Melenie gave him a hug and turned around. She wiped her eyes and started walking away.

"She is such a drama queen," Romulus said.

"Yeah, she is. Look Harry, we don't want you getting all depressed ok? We'll stay in touch; you'll probably be getting a letter from my sister soon. And I know that we'll be seeing each other soon," said Cassidy.

With that said, Cassidy and Romulus walked away.

Harry walked back to Private Drive and went to his room. He lay on his bed and stared up at the ceiling, feeling sad and depressed.

The next day, Harry was in his room staring at the ceiling when he heard a tapping noise. He looked at the window and saw Ron's owl Pig.

He got up and let it in. Pig immediately started flying around his room, making all types of noises. Harry grabbed him and took the letter. Un-folding it, he started to read.

Hi Harry!

Guess what? Mum said that you should start packing, because they're coming to get you. Today! They said they'll be there around 4, so be ready.

Ron

Harry jumped up and looked at the clock. It was already three. He started grabbing his things and throwing them inside his truck. He grabbed a picture next to his bed. It was of him, Melenie, Cassidy, and Romulus. They had gotten it taken a few days ago at the aquarium. He made sure Hedwig's cage was locked and went downstairs and into the living room. His aunt, uncle and cousin were all seated on the couch, staring at the t.v.

"I'm leaving today," Harry told them and sat in a chair. "Well, just how are you getting where you are going?" Vernon asked.

Harry thought for a moment. If they were going to number 12, they would probably be flying again. "I don't know," he said after a while.

His uncle snorted and went back to watching the t.v. Harry sat there waiting, looking at the clock every few minutes. Finally, at four-thirty, the doorbell rang.

His aunt got up to get it and Harry followed her. She opened the door, and there stood Mad-Eye Moody, Remus, Tonks, Kingsley, Arthur, Fred and George, and Bill.

"Hi, everyone," Harry said with a smile.

"Wotcher, Harry," said Tonks. They walked into the house and headed into the living room. Vernon got up and Dudley tried to run, but couldn't get to the door before he fell. Harry looked at the twins and saw Fred slipping his wand back into his pocket.

"Harry, you and the twins go get your things while we have a talk with you relatives," said Remus. Harry and the twins headed upstairs.

"So, why haven't I heard much from Ron?" Harry asked. He'd only received about a handful of letters the whole time he'd been at Private Drive

"Well, maybe it has to do with the fact that you're more famous now than ever before," said George.

"What?" said Harry.

"Well, your adventure at the ministry made the paper, and Rita Skeeter keeps writing about how you were telling the truth about you-know-who the whole time. Now every one thinks you are a hero again. They're even calling you the Chosen One," said Fred.

Harry sighed and started grabbing his things.

"We'll take care of that Harry," George said. They waved their wands and shrank Harry's things.

Harry grabbed his now shrunken items and put them in his pocket. They walked downstairs to find Arthur examining the television, and to Harry's surprise, his aunt was explaining how it worked.

"Uh, we're done," Harry said.

"Good, everyone gather around," Remus said and pulled out a teapot.

"I thought we couldn't use port-keys," Harry said as they closed the curtains and made sure everything was locked up.

"Well, Dumbledore made it, and it'll take us to a place not far from where we're going," said Moody.

Everyone grabbed on and Mr. Weasley counted down. "3…2…1."

Harry felt the familiar jerk behind his navel and he felt himself spinning. They landed in a dark alley and got up. Mad-Eye put Disillusionment charms on every one and they started to walk.

"Is this safe?" Harry asked.

"Of course, Dumbledore has guards everywhere," Remus said. Harry noticed that he looked happier, and he had on nice robes.

Finally, they arrived at Grimmauld Place. When Harry walked inside, his jaw dropped. The house was clean, and it had new furniture. The hall was decorated in red and gold, and the picture of Mrs. Black was gone.

Just then, Mrs. Weasley came rushing out and hugged him.

"Oh, Harry, how have you been? You look peaky again, I'll go start on dinner while you're with Dumbledore," she said. Dumbledore walked into the room and smiled and Harry.

"Hello, Harry. How have you been?" he asked.

"I've been fine, sir," Harry said.

"Good, good. Why don't you and Remus follow me up to the drawing room?" Dumbledore asked.

Remus smiled knowingly and headed up the stairs. Harry and Dumbledore followed behind.

"Now Harry, what you are about to see is very real. Please don't be afraid, or do anything rash. I've been working on a way to do this for years, and finally I succeeded," Dumbledore said.

Harry nodded, wondering what was going on.

When they got to the drawing room door, they stopped.

"Are you ready Harry?" Dumbledore asked.

"Yes," Harry said.

"Remus, open the door," Dumbledore said.

Remus opened the door and walked inside, and Dumbledore followed. Harry walked slowly inside. "Harry!" shouted a voice. He shook his head.

"That's not possible, you all can't be here," Harry said with wide eyes.

"Wow James, he does look like you." That was the last thing Harry heard before he blacked out.
