Time Reveals All Chapter 1If you were standing outside on the street in front of number four, Privet Drive you would think that it was just another ordinary house in an ordinary neighborhood.
However the house was anything but ordinary. That is because it is the home of a certain Harry Potter. To the other muggles on the street Harry Potter was a ruffian who was not welcome and was only hear out of the goodness of his Aunt and Uncles hearts.
In truth Harry Potter was a wizard who would be attending his sixth year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry on September 1st.
For a wizard like Harry Potter who was the savior of the magic world you would expect him to be playing with friends, doing homework, or anything fun (I know homework's not fun but oh well! Back to the story! ). However you would not expect him to be lying on his back in his bed starring at the ceiling.
"Boy! Get down hear now!" Harry's Uncle Vernon's voice ripped through Harry's thoughts.
Harry slowly stood up and moved towards the door. His whole body ached from the work that he had been doing while he was away from Hogwarts. Everyday to keep himself busy he would do crunches, sit-ups, push-ups, and just about any other physical exercise he could think of. It had only been a month and time seemed to go ever so slowly.
"Harry! Please hurry up!"
That was his Aunt Petunia it had to be. Harry was shocked not only was it the first time that Harry had ever heard her actually call him "Harry" but it was the first time in his entire life that he had ever heard his Aunt use the word "please" with anyone.
Harry walked down the stairs and into the kitchen to see what on earth had caused such a change in his Aunt when he stopped dead at the sight of two people that he had told himself he was definitely not gong to see this summer.
"Wotcher Harry!" came Tonks' excited voice from the corner.
The Dursleys were crowded against the back wall of the kitchen Dudley was trying to hide behind his parents was not having much success of being small and insignificant and Harry had to stifle a laugh at the sight of him.
"Go and pack your things Harry we want to leave quickly. Dumbledore told us to get you out of hear and take you to headquarters as quickly and quietly as possible. I want you down hear ready to leave in five minutes." Remus' voice came from the other side of the kitchen rushed and urgent. "Tonks go with him and help him!"
Ten minutes later the three of them stood out side of number four ready to fly off at any second. Remus had preformed a shrinking spell on Harry's trunk and it was now residing in Tonks right pocket.
"Harry, if anything goes wrong I want you to fly as fast as you can and get away. I do not want you hanging about understand?"
Harry nodded what was this all about. 'Hadn't Dumbledore told him that his Aunt and Uncles was the safest place for him? Then why were Tonks and Remus here to escort him to headquarters? And why weren't more people here?'
"On three Harry." Remus said jerking Harry out of his thoughts. Harry nodded "One, Two, Three."
The three of them kicked off the ground just as they heard someone shout "Stupefy!"
Harry looked down just in time to see Death Eaters apparating all along Privet Drive when Remus shouted "Fly Harry! Fly and don't look back their will be reserves waiting for you at London!" as he an Tonks with grim faces touched back down pulled out their wands and turned to face the Death Eaters.
For once in his life Harry obeyed he flew as fast as he could he didn't care where he was going the only thing on his mind was getting away and alerting the Order. A spell whizzed past him as he flew. He didn't need to look back to know that Death Eaters were on his tail. Pulling out his wand he sent a spell flying over his shoulder and was rewarded with the sound of a Death Eaters scream as he fell of his broom.
Urging his broom on to greater speeds he heard the shouts of spells fading into the distance just as another spell shot past him. This time he looked back. Behind him he saw two Death Eaters one pulled out his wand and aimed a spell at him. Harry swerved and avoided it easily.
Crouching lower on his broom so as to produce less of a target he shot another spell over his shoulder aiming at the Death Eater on the right. Not waiting to see if it made contact he shot forward hoping against hope that he would manage to make it to London.
15 minutes later the standings hadn't changed spells had been exchanged but none of them had made contact. Harry was getting tired and his broom was starting to slow down bit by bit from the strain of flying so fast for so long. "Come on just a little bit further," he muttered. Hoping against hope that the bright patch of light that he was seeing was a town where he could land.
All of a sudden a spell shot over him but it was not a spell coming from behind. He looked up and saw, to his great relief, Kingsley Shacklebolt and Mad-Eye Moody flying towards him. He saw Kinsley mouth the word "dive" before Mad- Eye shot another spell right at him.
Harry angled his broom strait down as he felt the spell fly over him he heard a sickening crunch as it hit one of the Death Eaters and the swish of air as he fell of his broom.
The remaining Death Eater pulled out his wand and pointed it at Mad-Eye and Harry was sure he was about to perform an unforgivable when Kinsley shouted Petrificus Totalus the Death Eater was caught off guard falling to the earth like his companions.
"Thanks" Harry gasped out, breathing hard from the strain of flying so quickly. "Those two have been chasing me since I left Privet Drive. What's going on?"
"We don't know any more than you do Potter," growled Moody after looking Harry up and down to make sure it was him. "And neither did Remus and Tonks. Dumbledore just told us to get you out of your Aunt and Uncles house as quickly as possible. He didn't tell us anything else."
"Bye the way Harry where are Tonks and Remus?" Kinsley asked
They stayed behind to fight off the Death Eaters." Harry said while Moody and Kinsley shared glances.
"Lets get you to headquarters Potter and than we'll sent out people," Moody said, "Where's your trunk?"
"In Tonks pocket," Harry replied as they flew down to the patch of grass outside number 12 Grimmauld Place.
Harry looked at the house. This had been Sirius' house. He didn't want to be back here. Surely Dumbledore knew that he wasn't ready for this so why was he here? And what about Ron and Hermione? He hadn't heard from them all summer he had expected them to be writing to him constantly but he hadn't received a single letter. He stepped up to the entrance and took a deep breath.
Then, not knowing what was going to happen next, not knowing what Dumbledore had in store for him, and not knowing that he was about to be whisked away to meet people he had always wanted to meet and a few that he would be better off not knowing, he stepped over the threshold and setting a course for his life that he would never forget.
