It Started With a project

Chapter 10; letters

One week later

Harry woke with a start to feed the babies. He rubbed his eyes and looked at the picture on the bedside table it was of Hermione a while back. He sighed and climbed out of bed to find Hermione already feeding them.

"Hermione why are you up" he questioned looking at her

"I have to feed the babies" she said burping one of the babies

"I thought that was my job for tonight" he may not have wanted to be there but he was not going to slack off

"Oh it is alright Harry I have already done it" she said climbing back into her bed fixing the covers and falling asleep

The Next Morning

Harry woke up the next morning to hear the sound of babies around him. He looked around him Hermione was already getting them dressed. She smiled as he looked at her, he quickly looked away.

Harry knew he had to get out of there to make sure he didn't get too attached to the babies. He watched Hermione leave, and then began to get his things together to get out of there. He had to. He rushed frantically around the room trying to get everything together. Deciding not to involve the Wesley's any further, he made his way to the letting offices in Diagon Alley making sure to leave a note and a picture of himself and to sneak out without anybody seeing.

Hermione was getting her breakfast when she heard James cry. She got up to tend to him and she found a letter while doing this it read:

Hermione,

I just want you to know that I could not

Live with you anymore. I am simply not ready for

Parenthood and hope you understand. Please make

Sure that my children know who I am and what

I am not. I hope in time I will be able

To forgive what you have done

I will not be coming back. The children

Will only have this picture of me

And nothing more. Please remember that

You got yourself into this.

Harry

Hermione let the tears fall as freely as James was. She had no idea what to do. All she wanted now was to have Harry back in her life. She knew that she couldn't live without him, but she would have to find a way.

Harry walked through the bustling streets in Diagon Alley looking for a letting office to rent an apartment for himself. He walked through a narrow alleyway as a sign for Jones's letting office. He passed by a baby shop and sighed he contemplated going back to Hermione for a second and shrugged it off.

He opened the blue door, which led into the letting office. He saw a slim middle-aged woman sitting at a desk tutting at something on the computer. He coughed to let her know he was there.

"Oh sorry may I help you are you looking for you mum or something"

Harry shook his head "no I was looking to rent an apartment"

The woman looked at him "are you sixteen or over"

Harry nodded "well then I am Dolly pleased to meet you Mr"

She stopped "Potter Harry Potter"

She smiled "well Mr Potter is there anything in particular" Harry shook his head he was glad she was being professional and not asking him tons of questions

The woman smiled and sat down back at her computer pointing to a seat for Harry to sit. He took it.

"Now first of all how much would you be willing to rent an apartment for?"

"Erm probably about 2500 galleons" Harry said

The woman tapped it into her computer "Mr Potter there are two here we can take a look at"

Harry nodded as she apperated with a pop Harry had just gotten his licence so he too apperated with a pop, both of them appearing in a huge spacious apartment

"So Mr Potter what do you think so far" she asked desperately trying to sell him the place

Harry took a thorough look around and smiled it was the perfect place for him to stay it had a spacious fitted kitchen with soft cushiony couch's in the sitting room a haven for any seventeen year old.

"I really like this one there is no need to show me anymore I suppose I have to give you my personal details"

The woman shook her head "we know who you are"

Harry nodded at least his fame got him something. He wrote out a cheque for the first month's rent and the woman apperated home.

Harry decided to apperate to the Dursley's to get the rest of his belongings as he only had a few at the Granger's and that's all.

He arrived safe and well in his bedroom at home. He headed downstairs to find Petunia sitting on the couch "Harry what are you doing home"

Harry sighed "do not worry I am only here to pick up a few belongings and then I'm off"

Petunia looked at him "off where exactly"

Harry looked at her "well I have my own apartment but I am not going to tell you where"

Petunia sighed "fine goodbye Harry"

Harry sighed a goodbye to Petunia and went upstairs to finish packing.

He threw everything into a bag he did not have a lot other than clothes and pictures.

At The Granger's House

Hermione got up from her position, made her way over to her camera by her bed, took a picture of each of the twins, and tied a letter to her owl's leg.

At Harry's apartment

Harry noticed an owl waiting patiently for him. He untied the parcel. It was a letter from Hermione it read

Harry,

I got your letter and since you gave me a picture

Of you for the children, I thought I would return

The favour by giving you a picture of each of the

Children. You might not be ready for them or to

Forgive me but at least you will always have

Pictures to remind you of your short time you

had with your children.

Always sincere

Hermione

Harry took the pictures of the kids and put them in a net pile in the corner of his kitchen. He walked over to the phone and jabbed in a text order for pizza. A wizard on a nimbus 1999 came to deliver it as he bombarded Harry with questions, as it was none other than a good friend of Colin Creevey.

Harry after a half hour waiting for George Tymd to get away from his window finally got to sit down and eat his pizza.

He sighed and went to bed it was going to be very lonely until he found work, as he was not going back to school.
