Dear Readers,
I just want to say that you guys have been great. I would like to say sorry for cutting the date with Jacob/Hermione so short. I'll make that up soon. After chapter nine, much more of the Cullens and the pack will come in.
Oh, I have three chapters done in A Summers Magic. I'm waiting until I have it complete before putting it up. Unless someone wants to read what I have now. Its told in Draco's point of view. it also tells who the potion was for and why.

Chapter eight
Hermione smiled at Jacob. He hadn't showed her much of the town, so far they hadn't left the beach. Yet, it was almost perfect. He was almost perfect. The only problem, to the perfect sunset was Harry. The boy hadn't said a word, and that just wasn't like him.
"Do you think it is me?" Jacob asked.
"Is what you?" Hermione asked.
"He isn't happy." Jacob pointed out to her.
"It isn't you." Hermione knew what was wrong. He was worried. She knew that look very well. Those eyes he was managing to give her wasn't helping any either.
"Can you check now?" Harry asked,
Hermione knew they wasn't back. She had already done checked on them. "I'll check in a minute, okay?"
Harry nodded. He wished wished they would kiss and get it over with.
"They know what they are doing Harry." She whispered.
Harry nodded once more, but he didn't think so. By the way he felt, he would even say that he knew so. Something wasn't right. He didn't know who with, but someone was in trouble.
"Maybe we should try again tomorrow." Jacob said watching the boy. He looked kinda sick to him. All they needed was for him to get sick and throw up.
Hermione stopped the moan that tried to escape. She didn't want the date to be over before it really started, but he was right.
"First thing in the morning even." Jacob grinned.
"Deal." Hermione agreed with a smile.
Harry just wanted to go. He also wanted all his feelings to go away. Feeling like this was different and he didn't like it.
"Okay Harry." Hermione said taking his hand. "We'll go home."
"Good." Harry whispered deciding he could at least try not to pout on the way home.
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHermione stood by the door watching Jacob leave. Tonight hadn't went as she had planned. She even had to wonder if Jacob would show back up in the morning. It wouldn't surprise her if he didn't show up. They had been out only for two hours.
"I knew they wouldn't be here." Harry said after his trip through out the house.
Hearing a loud pop Hermione felt her nerves settle down.
"Blaise!" Harry yelled. "I was so worried."
Blaise smiled down at him. "It is time for you to take a bath and get ready for that bed."
"But," Harry said at a bounce. "I don't want to."
"I didn't ask you if you wanted to." Blaise pointed out.
"Draco made you say that." Harry said in a pout.
Hermione kept her eyes locked on Blaise. He was doing a good enough job in fooling Harry, but she wasn't going to buy it. Harry was right. Something was wrong.
"Now Harry." Blaise remarked.
"Oh, alright then." Harry said stomping up the stairs.
"I'd swear if Narcissa don't have him spoiled." Blaise muttered. "Draco had nothing on this kid at that age."
"Are you going to tell me?" Hermione asked.
"Its bad." Blaise said slowly.
"How bad?" Hermione asked.
"He is trying to find Harry. He thinks like everyone else that Harry is off doing training." Blaise said starting to pace. "So, he has come up with a plan to flush him out."
"Not good." Hermione whispered.
"No, sense we know that isn't going to work." Blaise remarked.
"What is he planning?" Hermione asked.
"He is holding some people." Blaise said.
"The Malfoys?" Hermione asked.
"No, they are fine." Blaise answered. "This was to be the last meeting before we cut all ties to snake face."
"Was to be?" Hermione asked.
"If we don't find a way to slow him down." Blaise stated stopping at the window.
"Its to bad he wasn't the one de-aged." Hermione muttered.
"What did you say?" Blaise asked looking at her.
"I said It was to bad he wasn't the one de-aged." Hermione repeated.
"Your brilliant!" Blaise called taking off down the hall.
Surprised Hermione followed him down into a basement.
"That wouldn't kill him, but it would in fact slow him down, make him forget." Blaise announced. "Giving us all the time we need."
"Smart." Hermione remarked. "What are you going to do? Walk up to him an ask him to drink that?"
"Its the only plan we have, plus it is a good one." Blaise added. "This is a simple de-ageing. I watched them work on it. I need to add that one."
Hermione watched him pick up a bluish vile looking test tube.
"This will do the mind altering, so he'll forget." Blaise said. "We just have to find somehow to get it in him."
"I'm done already!" Harry called from the door.
"And there is that." Blaise said looking at Harry.
"Where do we find a babysitter?" Hermione asked.
"The Cullens." Blaise answered. "You work on that, while I work on this. It will take about a hour."
"You want me to leave him with Vampires?" Hermione asked.
"That name is over rated." Blaise grinned.
"Right." Hermione said herding Harry upstairs.
"What is going on?" Harry asked with a yawn.
"How would you like a sleep over?" Hermione asked happily.
"I would not." Harry informed her.
Hermione stared at the boy. "Harry, honey." She said sweetly.
"Not going and you can't make me." Harry said crossing his arms.
"Harry James." Blaise said coming up. "Now, just what would Lucius say to this behavior?"
"Where am I going?" Harry asked meekly.
"Much better." Blaise said disappearing.
"Mean-ie." Harry called out.
Hermione went to look for a phone. It come as no surprise when she came up short. No phone.
"Harry?" She called out.
Harry came pulling his bag behind him. "I don't think I like you now."
"Do you know who to get in touch with those friends of yours?' She asked.
"Nope." Harry answered brightly.
"Would you tell me if you did know?"
"Nope." Harry answered with a smile.
"What are you suppose to do in case something bad happens?" She asked.
"Yell for Draco." Harry answered.
"What if he isn't here?" Hermione asked.
"That hasn't happened." Harry answered.
"Harry, we really have to go help Draco." Hermione said with a smile. "I need to find out how to find them."
"There is a phone. It is in kitchen. You might find them in the phone book that is with the phone." Harry answered. "Does that help you?"
Hermione took off to the kitchen. "Where?"
"By the door." Harry answered. "Is something wrong?"
"No, they just need a little help with a potion is all." Hermione answered finding the phone at last.
"Is that why Blaise in down in that lab?" Harry asked.
"Yes." Hermione answered.
"I can go down if Draco does." Harry said proudly. "I'm a good chopper. Severus said I will be good at potions."
Hermione smiled while looking up the number.
"He is a doctor." Harry told her. "I haven't met him yet."
"Oh." Hermione said finding the number and punching it in before she lost her nerve.
"Cullens." A voice sung out.
Hermione wasn't even sure the phone had time to ring. Plus she didn't know who she was to ask for.
"Hello." Hermione said sweetly. "My name is Hermione Granger. I don't know how to ask you this, but we need someone to keep an eye on Harry."
"We'd love too." Alice answered. "Do you need us to pick him up?"
"Please." Hermione said watching Harry eyes throw daggers at her.
"We'll see you shortly then." Alice replied.
"Thanks." Hermione said. Hanging up the phone she looked at Harry.
"I know, be good." Harry murmured.
"I know you will be." Hermione said wondering how long it will take them to show up.
"I'm glad you know that." Harry said dragging his bag to the door.
Hermione followed him to the door. "I guess its time for me to meet some of these friends of yours."
Harry only nodded wondering if she thought he was that stupid. He knew something was wrong and there wasn't one thing he could do about it.
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Short note. I wasn't planning on de-ageing snake face. That wasn't my idea. It does get him out of the way until Harry is older. I can't help but wonder if the de-ageing potion does take on him, if Harry and snake face will come to know each other and just who would be brave enough to take him?
Next chapter will be the meeting.
