Chapter 2

Narcissa smiled when she saw Luicus and Draco enter the parlor. She rose to her elegant height and pulled her only son into her arms. "I've missed you sweetheart." she whispered, pulled back and kissed him on the forehead. Lucius kissed his wife. "Do they know what's going on?" Narcissa asked as they all sat down.

"Yes. Severus owled them before the train left Hogwarts." Luicus answered. She nodded. "Don't worry Narcissa. We'll protect them. It's the means to the end this damned war."

Draco only looked at his parents in confusion. He wanted to know what they were talking about. He was about to asked when his godfather walked through the double doors. Draco smirked at him. Severus smiled slightly and sat down next to the young man.

"Are we going to get Dumbledore sent to Azkaban for child endangerment and abuse? He needs it!" Narcissa hissed dangerously. "No child should go through that. Damn Lucius we should have tried-"

"Dearest, we are at war. You know I would have sprang that boy from those damned family years ago. We both know it would have ended in his death."

"Father, those so called blood wards don't work." Draco told him.

"What are you saying Draco?" Luicus asked with much concern for Potter.

"Those blood wards are a fake. They never existed. It was something he made up. I looked it up Father. It was something to get Potter to see Dumbledore as a savior. Father I've seen all kinds of scars on him." Luicus raised a brow. "God not in that way!" Severus chuckled.

Narcissa sighed heavily. "At lest we got him away from the Durselys. We can worry about his crimes later. Sirius is going to be at the Grangers' all summer. He is his guard."

"At lest it's a family member we can trust." Draco said without a thought.

"Are you calling my sister un-trust worthy, Draco?" Severus hissed at his godson. He quickly shook his head. "Good."

Molly angrily sliced the potatoes and dropped them into the soup that was over the fire. She couldn't believe that Dumbledore denied her precious Ginny the summer with Harry. And to what, spend the summer with the muggle-born, Hermione. All of her careful planning was falling apart. The love potion she'd been giving Harry for the past few years hadn't worked. 'Why' was the question.

Molly flicked her wand and cake was coated with a chocolate icing. She couldn't understand why Ron would want anything to do with Hermione. Her blood was not pure. She did have the brains that made up for blood ranking. The Weasely family bloodline was an old bloodline and loosing it's luster for breeding good magical talent. She would let Hermione's heritage slide just to get the genes.

Arthur, Fred and George stood in the doorway shocked at what they were hearing. Molly's ramblings about her two youngest plans to help Dumbledore. The men looked at each other in disbelief. The kind and loving woman they knew wasn't in front of them, but one with a conniving plan that harmed two kind and loving people. Fred motion for them to go outside to the backyard. They nodded and stepped out of the kitchen.

~*~

The Weasely men walked into the backyard shed. Arthur warded the area. George snapped his fingers. "Remus needs to know. He's close to Harry."

They nodded and Arthur lowered the wards and his son was gone with a faint pop. Fred whistled and walked around the shed. Arthur tried to grasp at the matter at hand. He couldn't believe what he heard came out of his wife's mouth. It was just not Molly. He could tell she wasn't under the Impro Curse. He had seen too many times. She was doing it under her own free will.

George appeared in front of the red heads with Remus Lupin at his side.

"What has happened to Harry and Hermione? Sirius is with them now. They alright?" Remus asked worryingly.

Arthur replaced the wards and the men sat down on the benches. The Weasely men stared at the werewolf across from them. Remus's brow frond. He could tell something was terribly wrong but Sirius and kids were safe. He sighed in relief.

"We walked into the kitchen." Arthur stated. "We heard Molly talking to herself." He continued on with the information that they had over heard.

Remus couldn't believe what he was hearing. Molly dosing Harry with love potion to make him fall in love with Ginny, and on Dumbledore orders. He's eyes flash dangerously at the men. Fred swallowed hard when he heard him growl.

"Many people don't know this. It was kept from people. It was placed in James and Lily's will. I was to take care of Harry if something was to happen to Sirius. Lily had also named me Harry's godfather. Once I heard of their attack went to Dumbledore to retrieve Harry from him. But when I arrived at Hogwarts their was no sign of them anywhere. I had no clue where they took my godson." Remus told them and waited for the information to sink in before he continued. "I waited in the entrance hall. I waited for hours. When he returned," he stood up and began to pace angrily, "he wouldn't tell me where he was. He said, "Harry is safe. Do not worry Remus." He growled, "He stole my godson from me. I couldn't find him for years!" He slumped down onto the bench. "The magic Dumbledore had placed around the Durselys home disenabled me to save my godson once I found him. Sirius tried to do the same over and over again. Where is he now?"

Arthur and the twins only stared at Remus unblinking and their mouths open in shock. Dumbledore had denied Harry a happy childhood. "The blood wards?" they all said at once.

"Fake." was all Remus said.

Arthur shook his head and finally answered his question. "Harry's with Hermione and her family for the summer." Remus sighed in relief.

Remus ran his hand through his graying hair. "He has another plan at work. I have a feeling it has something to do with Hermione." He told the Weasely men. "I advise you to pack a few things and come with me. It's not safe for you here. Arthur you can tell Molly that the Ministry has you at work for some muggle conference. Fred, George you can apart back and forth to work. Alright?" The men nodded. "Meet at the end of the road in twenty minutes." They nodded again and they went their separate ways.

Arthur told Molly about the once and lifetime opportunity to see muggles at work. It was a promotion at work. She smiled brightly and kissed him on the cheek and bid him a safe trip. He left the Burrow.

The twins and Arthur met Remus at the end of the long road. He nodded in approval. He pulled out a portkey. He instructed for them to hold on. The red heads grabbed the book and they felt at tug at their navels and vanished.

Sean pulled up to a two-story brick house that was located in quiet small town. Harry smiled and got out of the car. He helped Hermione from the car. She smiled and thanked him. Sean and Helen couldn't help but smile at the couple. Sean popped the car trunk while Helen unlocked the house door.

Hermione looked around and saw no one in sight. She pulled out her wand and shrank her and Harry's trunks. They grabbed their pets and followed Sean inside the house.

Hermione closed the door behind her and smiled at Harry who was looking around house. She magically sent their things up the stairs that was located in the front of the door. She took Harry's hand and led him down the small hall family pictures hung.

The living room had a large bay window behind the couch, coffee table in front that rested on hard wood floor, loveseat on the right with a end table separating the seats and a black thin lamp that light most of the room. A large flat screen T.V. hung on the wall in front of the couch. A large brick fireplace pictures that rested on the deep wood mantle. The walls were painted a light brown color.

The door on the right led to the kitchen. The room was painted in deep green, lily wall paper that lined the middle of the wall, title floor. A round table that was in the middle of the room. A counter in the middle that separated the small dinning area to the cooking area that had it's standard stove, fridge and cabinets. The left a door that lead to the backyard.

"Wow it's great." Harry said just as Padfoot walked into the kitchen through the doggy door and a barked.

"Come on boys upstairs." Hermione said and ran from the kitchen into the living room and up the stairs followed by Harry and Padfoot.

~*~

The hall had wooden floors and cream colored walls. The door on the left was the bathroom and cross was a guest room with a four post king size bed, closet, and dresser. Than another two doors next to each other.

Hermione walked into the room that was on the left. "This is your room." She told him. "The door on the right is the bathroom and it joins to my room. On the left is your walk in closet and the dress is inside it. You have a great view to the back yard."

Harry walked over to the window that was next to his four post bed and beside table. He saw an underground pool that was blocked off by a large fence with a nice size pool house and a nice size green yard with a tree house in a tall oak tree.

"Wow you have a pool." said Harry with a large smile. Hermione nodded.

She led him into the bathroom. It had a long mirror and counter with two sinks one on the right and the other on the left. A large shower/tub behind them and toilet on the right.

Harry stuck his head into Hermione's room. It was exactly the same except her room was painted in light blue with clouds and large bookshelf full of books and a nice size desk in front of the window. Padfoot barked in approval causing the couple to jump. He barked a chuckle.

"Here I'll help you unpack." She said and waved her wand and his things were in their respectable places. She did the same to her belongings. "The advantages of being a year older than you."

Harry grabbed his pillow off the bed and threw at his best friend. Hermione quickly ducked and grabbed the pillow and threw back at him. He easily caught it. Harry stuck is tongue out Hermione.

"Kids dinner's ready!" They heard Sean call from the bottom of the stairs.

Harry grabbed Hermione's hand and they ran down the stairs followed by a barking Padfoot to the kitchen.

The family enjoyed a nice supper. Padfoot was just glad that he didn't have to eat dog food. He was given chicken that Helen had made. He gave her bark as a thank you. She only wink at the wizard. They enjoyed light conversation kids telling them about the school year.

~*~

Harry crawled into bed. Padfoot jumped up onto the bed and laid down next to his godson. Harry rubbed his head. "Sirius I actually feel more at home here than I do at the Burrow. It's not as crowded. Mr. and Mrs. Granger don't see me as the Boy-Who-Lived like know some of the Weasely family do. They just see Harry. Is it weird to feel at home so quickly?" Sirius shook his head. "Could it be because of Hermione?"

Padfoot shifted into the form of Sirius Black. "I think you love her." He whispered.

"Of course I do. She's my best friend." Harry told his godfather.

"Oh come on Harry. You look at Hermione the same way your father looked at your mother. The holding hands. She blushes. It's rather cute, Pup. Moony would agree with me. You can talk to her about anything. Your dreams, troubles and she's never left your side like Ron has at times. You love Hermione Granger."

Harry placed his arms under his head and stared up at he ceiling in thought. He smiled at the thought. Her smile did make his stomach tie up into a knot. He always tried to make her laugh just see her eyes shine with happiness. He always found a excuse to be alone with her more. He hated when Ron made her cry and when she fought with the red head. Harry thought of something else.

"Sirius," He turned his head to the right and faced Harry. "I just thought of something. I'm not a attracted to Ginny. I haven't even thought about her lately. I wanted to be with her when I'm around her. But when I see Hermione it immediately goes away. It's weird. When ever Mrs. Weasely would give me something to drink it smelt like lilies."

Sirius brow fronded at the news. He only knew one thing that would cause that type of infatuation. "She couldn't have." he mumbled. Harry gave him a puzzled look. "Molly has been dosing you with Amortentia."

Harry's eyes widened. They had learned how to brew it in potions. "We learned how to brew that potion before we left for the summer. But why dose me with a potion? Why did it wear off when Hermione came around?"

"Well, first I don't know why Molly did it to you. But think the reason why it wore off each time you saw Hermione is because you love her. It's stronger than the potion."

Harry turned his head to his godfather and said, "I think you're right. I do love her. I have since my third year. What should I do?"

"Go after her Pup." Sirius said, smiled and shifted back into Padfoot and they fell asleep.

Remus and the Weasely men appeared in front of a small three bedroom one bathroom cabin. The werewolf waved his wand and they walked inside. He quickly replaced the wards.

"It's nothing much. This is the living room." Remus told them. It only contained a couch, coffee table, loveseat and two armchairs in front of a small fireplace. "The bedrooms are down the hall. Fred, George you'll have to share a room. It's on the right. It has two twin beds. Arthur your room is on the left next to the bathroom. Mine's on the far end on the right. The books to read are in my room. You are welcome to them." He led them trough the living room into the small kitchen. "The standard kitchen. Everything is gas related so be careful. The fridge and cabinets are charmed to remain stocked. So no worries about running out of food. Any questions?" The men shook their heads. "I'm off to bed. I'm really not hungry. Please make yourselves at home."

"Remus," Arthur called and he turned around. "Thank you."

"You're welcome," and he walked down the hall to his bedroom.

Fred and George bid their father goodnight. They weren't hungry too much had happened. Arthur only nodded and decided to do the same as his sons. They were all emotionally drained.
