Harry Potter and The Year of Love Chapter 8, a harry potter fanfic

Chapter Eight

All Harry could see as he walked towards his new car, all he saw was red and Hermione smiling that smile at the boy she had been with. He knew he was overreacting as he hadn't even spoken to her, and the last time he had, they had fought over going back to Hogwarts, for seventh year. It wasn't his place to even feel anything for her; she was his best friend after all, his female best friend whom he had come to view as more than that.

What the hell had she been doing with that boy? Harry started to feel he should go back into the café and give that guy a few punches. It's not your place Potter, he thought to himself. Yes but that's my female in there, with another man. Harry stood behind his car ready to apparate out of London to Privet Drive. With a distracted mind Harry looked around the parking lot to see if anyone could see him before, he apparated. Seeing no one he concentrated on his location.

"I'll have the same," Remus said looking up at the waitress who was practically giving Harry a peep show at every asset she had. You don't have a chance child; he is enamored with someone else. Remus thought to himself.

"I'll have Fries and a burger with a sprite," Tonks said from beside him. She was so thin one had to wonder where all that food went but then again she is an Auora.

Remus smiled knowingly at her, and she blushed. Her eyes as she looked at him were full of admire and love. Her smiled back and kept string in her eyes until he felt his head start leaning towards hers.

"I'll be back," Remus heard Harry saying and looked up at him and gave him a disoriented questioning look.

Harry just nodded towards the bathroom and Remus realized he was leaving them to give them alone time. He smiled at the young man before him and nodded. He watched as he double-checked for his wand; boy was growing up too fast due to the horrors of the war the Wizarding World was going through. He couldn't help but feel fatherly pride and love towards him. He reminded him of James each day he saw him. He had inherited his charm for the ladies, but unlike James he was almost oblivious to them. He realized Harry was becoming more and more confident in himself each day he embraced his destiny.

"We are here alone for a couple of minutes," Remus said to Tonks, looking mischievous.

"I know," she answered scooting closer to him. He put his hand on her back and started rubbing circles on her back. She smiled and laid her head on his shoulder. "I'm so proud of Harry. He is so grown and he is becoming who he was meant to be," she said smiling a proud mama smile. She tilted her head up and looked in his eyes searching. Whatever she had been looking for she clearly found it because she tilted her head towards his and he dipped his to hers, and kissed her. He was sure he would never get enough of her because each time he had her in his arms he felt his love for her growing. He deepened the kiss and she wrapped her hands around his neck holding on to him tightly. Remus groaned into her mouth and she smiled against his lips pulling back.

"I don't you want to give people a show," she said.

"Right now all I'm thinking about is just being with you. She smiled and kissed him again. The next thing Remus knew Harry was passing him in a haste to get out without even a word of what was happening.

He looked over in the direction where Harry had just come from and let out a foul curse. Damn Hermione why are you so stubborn? I know you are in love with Harry, who is the guy? Remus thought to himself towards her.

"Talk with her for me would you?"He asked Tonks. "I don't think she even knew he was here," he finished indicating to the table Hermione was. Tonks just nodded and walked toward were she was sitting.

Remus walked after Harry not knowing what he was going to say about what he had just seen but he knew he didn't want Harry to leave without at least talking to Hermione.

"Harry!"He called out to the young man but he didn't slow down. He wasn't even sure he had heard him; he had looked so lost when he had passed by him.

End of Remus's perspective

"Harry," he heard his name being called out and stopped. His ears were ringing and his heart was twisting in pain. He turned to see Remus coming over to him and he held out the keys, "Here, I was planning on apparating."

"To where Harry? I don't need your car keys I am a legal adult and can apparate with no problem; you on the other hand are a different matter."

Harry chose to ignore the posed question and steeped away from Remus. He was already seeing a picture in his mind of where he wanted to go. He wasn't sure where it was but he really needed to go away and be alone. Alone and away from Hermione… and everyone in the Wizarding World.

When Harry didn't answer Remus sighed and walked over to his now god-son. "Harry, I know what you think you saw in there but I doubt it was like that. You know, you overreacted in there and you have to face her at some time. I doubt she even knew you were there," Remus said and noticed a little later than he was supposed he had said the wrong thing. "I mean the direction she was facing it would be impossible to have …..

"I'll see you home" he said with every intention of apparating away.

"You know Harry you can't run every time you face a problem. It's not you, I know you'll be beating yourself up after you leave-"

"I was actually thinking about that self-righteous shit and I came to my mind and realized I could care less what people thought of me," he said his voice sure interrupting Remus in the middle of his speech.

"Harry-"

"No, Harry nothing. Let me deal with this by myself for once okay. Let me think for me this time," he stated looking determined and broken.

He might not have realized it himself, but Remus saw and felt a familiar pang of pain as he watched his god-son start to break apart this early on before the fight even started.

Tonks where are you? He thought desperately.

"Harry," a soft voice said meekly from behind the two men facing each other.

Hermione ran out of the café hot on Tonks' heels. What was going on? Tonks had said it was an emergency, Harry had walked out of the café in a rush and she was afraid he was going to do something stupid.

She saw his rigid back and his stance. He seemed as though he would fall at any second

****

"Harry," she said softly, for a moment she didn't think he heard her. Then he stood up straighter pulling his new muscular six foot one body to its full height. His back moved a sign of deep breathing, he was pulling himself together. Not a very good sign.

When he turned around his face was emotionless. He was blank and looking very much the warrior he was born to be.

"Hi, Hermione," he said his voice betraying nothing.

I know its not much but i was trying to connect some things i decided they won't fit in. I am choosing to move them to chapter nine. Sorry for the wait. Thatnks to all the reviewers.
