Moving On

Chapter 6

"Do you need to feed?" asked Hermione right away.

"No, I wont need to feed of humans just animals when I start getting weak" said Harry, a whole weight falling from his shoulders. His friends didn't seem repulsed by him being a vampire.

"Where you turned there?" asked Ron looking angry.

"No, I was turned by Severus, it was the only way I would survive" quickly explained Harry not wanting his best friend to turn on their host.

"Oh" said Ron relaxing completely he was glad Dumbledore hadn't turned Harry, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to stop himself. Next time he saw Dumbledore Ron had no doubt that his hands would have wrapped around Dumbledore's.

"Oh Harry" said Hermione hugging him once more.

"I'm alright, I'm so sorry Mione," said Harry softly, his now golden hued eyes showing nothing but sadness.

"Don't you dare blame yourself!" shrieked Hermione seeing that look in his eyes. The same look he had gotten after Cedric died. He had blamed himself for the boy's murder when he had no say in it. Nothing Ron or Hermione had said seemed to break through the cloud he was under.

"I'm not" said Harry his eyes hardening "I'm blaming Dumbledore".

"Good!" said Hermione puffing out.

"Are you ok though mate?" asked Ron seemingly concerned for what had happened those two years.

"I'm not going to lie Ron, it was hell on earth, I'm glad you found out and asked for help." said Harry "I felt like I was dying that night, and obviously Severus turning me meant I was dying"

"He will pay for what he did Harry I promise" vowed Ron.

"Yes, and to start with I want to pay the Dursley's back for their TLC" said Harry, tender loving care my arse. Ron snorted obviously thinking the same; Hermione narrowed her eyes wondering what Harry had up his sleeve.

"You don't need to pay your relatives for taking take of you, they got money every month" said Severus, not realizing that Harry was being sarcastic.

"They what?" roared Ron turning on Severus.

Severus frowned, wondering what on earth was going on the bloody emotions keep turning and Severus felt a headache coming on.

"Doesn't surprise me, no doubt they spent it on Dudley" said Harry.

"And you got all his hand me downs!" snapped Hermione looking very cross she looked like she wanted to apparate to them and cause them imaginable pain.

"Am I missing something here?" asked Severus his voice dangerous; demanding an answer otherwise there would be hell to pay. They shrank from the voice, they thought they had heard Snape pissed off, well they were wrong. By the sound of it they hadn't heard the full extend of Snape's anger.

Hermione seeing Harry wasn't going to say anything, staring at the floor mutely.

"Harry was abused by his relatives, we knew, Poppy was told, and then we all told Dumbledore. Yet he still ended up going back, as young as we were there was nothing we could do, I was actually going to get Harry after a few days at his relatives but he disappeared" said Hermione.

"How bad?" asked Severus his voice furious.

"Not too bad" said Harry, as always down playing everything.

"Do not stick up for them Harry! He was starved all his life! Spent it in a cupboard under the stairs until his letter came. His uncle always took his frustrations out on Harry" said Ron. He wasn't letting his friend down play anything if they were telling someone; the whole truth was coming out.

"I see" said Severus his face showing nothing of his inner turmoil.

"I'm going to get them back, don't worry, I'm going to buy Grunnings and turn them out of house and home. I'll rent out the house for a price even whoever rents out privet drive wouldn't be able to resist" said Harry smirking.

"That's not enough!" scowled Ron.

"He will be out of job, house and nowhere to go? What's better?" asked Harry.

Nobody noticed the scheming look on Severus' face; it disappeared before anyone looked at him.

"I'm not doing anything else" said Harry with a note of finality in his voice "They made me who I am" he no longer cared about the Dursley's they weren't in his life, he didn't have to go back so he would never see them again. Which was more than alright with him.

Ron huffed but didn't say anything else. He knew there was no talking Harry out of anything when he had made his mind up. He just wished there was a way of getting revenge on his own for what they had done to his best friend. He moved on quickly he wanted revenge on Dumbledore first and foremost. After what he had done he defiantly wasn't letting Dumbledore away with it.

"What about Dumbledore?" asked Hermione.

"I'm going to destroy his reputation bit by bit" smirked Harry a scheming look of his own on his face.

"Good" said smug looking Hermione ideas of her own already forming.

Ron just kept looking at his best friend; he had changed so much even as a vampire. He didn't realize he had changed a lot, obviously he had but the changes had been gradual he didn't realize. He didn't know what to expect, but this wasn't it - not that it was a bad thing. Ron noticed he no longer blamed himself for things that happened around him.

"Have you seen Sirius?" asked Harry looking slightly pained.

Frowning Hermione answered "No, he's undercover with Remus"

"Dumbledore let me believe he had died" said Harry to the unasked question of pain on his face.

Ron's face turned into a snarl of rage, he was going too far, his face paled did that mean he had only been told of his family's deaths? And Hermione's no wonder Harry was apologizing if that was the case.

"Calm down" said Hermione laying a comforting hand on her lover.

Harry looked ecstatic at that, Hermione wondered what Harry was thinking to get him smiling like that.

"Have you two finally gotten together?" asked Harry a smile still on his face. Severus looked vaguely uncomfortable standing there but this was his house and no matter where he went he would still hears them so there was no point in leaving really.

"Yeah" smiled Ron, glad his friend was alright about it.

"I'm happy for you both" his eyes didn't give away his sadness that he thought he would never find anyone like that.

"So what are you going to do?" asked Hermione getting back on track.

"I'm going to Gringotts to get my inheritance sorted out, I'm curious to know why Dumbledore went to such great lengths to keep it from me" said Harry.

Hermione and Ron shook their head mutely; nothing Harry said surprised them any longer. It just made them all the more determined to bring the bloody old fool down. They would make sure Dumbledore regretted messing with Harry by the time they were finished.

"Are you going today?" asked Hermione.

"Yeah," said Harry nodding as well as answering.

"Then we will keep a look out, just in case Dumbledore comes, you go and get yourself seen too" said Ron, he would do anything to protect his friend now he had him back.

"Don't worry I will have Severus with me" said Harry, "Just don't go and get yourself hurt or in the way of Dumbledore. We don't know just how far he would go just to make sure I'm back in his hands"

"Don't worry" said Hermione "We are coming, no arguments!" her hands on her hips and her face set. Harry knew this look; she wasn't going to give up, god why did she have to be so damn stubborn.

"Fine!" groaned Harry, smiling softly, it was so good to see his friends; they were still completely loyal to him that meant more than any money he had in Gringotts.

"Then lets depart" sighed Severus.

Harry smirked, nodding his head he grabbed his cloak, and let Severus glamour him before turning his wand on himself. Where stood Harry and Severus were now two strange blonde haired men. No doubt supposed to be father and son.

Hermione and Ron touched the portkey before moving away from the two men. People would get suspicious if they saw Ron and Hermione with two strangers; they stayed back a little and followed them to Gringotts.

"Have you had any more visions Alice?" asked Carlisle. Just getting back from the hospital, to find Alice alone on the couch the rest of the family god knows where.

"Nothing they obviously changed their minds" sighed Alice.

"What's the problem Alice?" asked Carlisle, worried about the girl he thought of as a daughter.

"I just…well everything would change if whoever it was that I saw moved, it would have changed us all…" said Alice struggling to find the right words to express what she was feeling. "The emotions I got were overwhelming I would like to feel them for real not just through a vision"

"Who was it that changed the most?" asked Carlisle curious now.

Alice looked up and replied "Edward".

"A good change?" asked Carlisle.

"A brilliant change," said Alice "I think he would find who was right for him"

Carlisle's eyes widened, he had hoped for that for over a hundred years now. He had changed Rose for that particular reason, well not just that reason she had been dying after all he hadn't wanted it to go to waste.

"Well Alice you cannot just sit there and hope it comes to pass, people change their mind every day." soothed Carlisle.

"I know" sighed Alice, her face smiling slightly that was the Alice he knew and loved.

There we go! will Alice have any more visions? will she connect Harry to the person in her visions? will Dumbledore be stealing Harry's money? will Have Molly? will i have someone surprise return? R&R please!
