My Mate

Thanks Tara for editing!

Chapter 12

"Sorry Harry, can't do that, Dumbledore's orders." said Tonks, making everything he had magical or not end up in his trunk.

"I'm not going Tonks, I want to stay here." said Harry angry.

"Stop sulking and pouting. Sirius is going to be there, now let's go." said Tonks, summoning Harry's trunk, grabbed a hold of Harry and they were gone. Hedwig knew as soon as it happened that her Master had been taken to a new location and she began making her way there.

They fell with a thud in Grimmauld Place, the last place he ever wanted to be. Rather ironic, just last year it had been the Dursley's, at least he had the Order to thank for something. They had warned the Dursley's off, but he knew it would have still been the same dull life, wanting to get away, if he had not met Severus. '

'Severus, how was he going to tell Severus?'

------------

"Harry!" shrieked Hermione going to cuddle him.

However, Harry shuffled away and said to Dumbledore what he had said to Tonks earlier.

"I want to go back to Privet Drive for the rest of the summer." his face serious.

"What? Why? Ron is hurt and you want to go back to Privet Drive?" said Hermione looking hurt.

"What happened to Ron?" asked Harry distracted.

"He fell of his broom," said Hermione, suddenly Harry had the urge to giggle but held it in.

"Oh, let me go back to Privet Drive." said Harry facing Dumbledore.

"I'm sorry my boy, you have to stay here, your friends and godfather are here so I don't know why you would want to go back." said Albus turning before leaving.

Angry, Harry spun around, giving his most hated look at Tonks, and his green eyes flashing before he left. Tonks went pale and shaky, no one's look had affected her the way Harry had. She decided she would avoid him at all costs. This time when she passed the troll stand she did not fall over it.

Harry locked himself up in a room, the most decent room in the bloody manor. Putting his trunk at the bottom of his bed, he used his wand knowing it would not be detected, nothing could when you're under the Fidelus charm. The room was probably the best in the entire house in a few minutes. Silky green bed, which was now more stable and a soft mattress had replaced the springy mattress.

"Harry its dinner time, come on down! Everyone is there!" said Molly when she was unable to get into his room. He had a chair in the door, also locking charms.

"I'm not hungry." snapped Harry.

"You can't go without meals!" said Molly arguing with him.

"GO AWAY!" shouted Harry, having enough. He knew he would get away with it, they would say I was still grieving for Sirius. Not believing his Godfather was still alive or something.

He hoped Hedwig got there soon, he had a letter to write, and he did not want Severus thinking he had not wanted to do. He had been looking forward to it! Damn them to hell and back, thought Harry growling once more.

Harry didn't think he had been gladder to see Hedwig than he was right now. Quickly grabbing paper and ink, hating these quills he started writing the letter.

Sev,

I'm sorry to say I won't be able to come, it's not because I don't want to come, far from it. Dumbledore has decided its time to have his pawn back, so I'm away from Privet Drive. I did demand to go back but they would not let me. I am sorry I was really looking forward to going.

I'm not sure when I will see you again, I want you to know this summer has been the best in my life and I will cherish it forever. I cannot help but feel I have let you down.

If you would like to stay in touch it would be great, if not then I understand. I feel like I'm going mad locked up in here already. I would rather be locked up in here in this room than be with any of them.

The knowledge that they were using me hurt, they were supposed to be my friends. I guess that's what happens to people like me, I have nothing else to say apart from I am really sorry and I don't blame you if you don't answer this.

I hope to see you again someday,

Harry.

-----------Earlier that day Severus' pov---------------

Severus walked down the beach, looking forward to showing his mate the rest of his life. They had spoken about it but he had never met any of them. He started to get worried when Harry didn't show up, that worry turned into frowns before turning into anger. Growling he angrily made his way back to his boat in a bad mood.

"Where is he then?" asked Sebastian frowning.

"What's happened?" asked Draco seeing Severus' face.

"He didn't show up, if he was hurt he would have still turned up, I know that. He must not have wanted to come, he learned what he wanted to learn and that's it, he doesn't want to meet me anymore." said Severus looking angry.

"Are you sure?" asked Draco not wanting to believe it.

Just then an owl hooted making way for Severus, Severus immediately stood up it was his mate's bird. He frowned when he realized the bird was out of breath, he let it get some water as he read the letter.

"He's been moved." said Severus, the hurt and anger he felt drained away, his mate was being treated like a pawn once more and he hated it.

"Well you can still write to him." said Draco, leaving with Sebastian to give Severus some space.

Writing his response, he attached it to Hedwig telling the beautiful smart bird to hunt first. Hooting softly her amber eyes glowed as she took of into the sky, she decided to take the letter to her master before going to hunt. There were more mice to hunt in the place her master was currently staying anyway.

Three hours of heavy flying he flew through the window Harry had opened for her. Hooting Harry was up within minutes, Hedwig decided on a sleep, drinking some water and eating some seed she fell asleep.

Harry opened the letter quickly wondering what Severus had to say to him.

Harry,

Don't think I would not stay in touch just because you are no longer in Privet Drive. Continue eating and training even if you have to do it in your room, don't let them get you down. Don't worry about not being there today you cannot help it. Although I must admit I really did miss you, and I am not sure when I will speak to you again, we will need to wait and see.

As for your friends and supposed family, you don't need them. Just remember you are never alone I will always be there and free for you. Your godfather and friends don't deserve someone as good and pure as you.

Have some fun when you are there, prank them,

Severus.

Harry smiled at the reply, Severus was going to be a constant in his life, he knew that. Nodding his head, he smiled before folding the letter and putting it in his trunk, putting it in a locked and password sealed box inside his trunk. Where his map and other things are which includes his invisibility cloak.

"Harry?" asked a voice.

"What?" asked Harry having calmed down by now.

"Can I come in?" asked the voice.

"Fine," said Harry unlocking the door.

"Harry." said Sirius expecting Harry to get up and hug him like he was scared to let him go and he would disappear.

"Sirius." said Harry calming inwardly laughing at Sirius stunned look.

"Are you going to come down for dinner?" asked Sirius not being able to say anything else.

"Sure." said Harry remembering what Severus had said.

"Come on then kiddo, lets go." said Sirius smiling at him, telling him stupid tales all the way down the stairs.

Everyone stopped talking when Harry came in; he simply raised his eyebrow before grabbing a plate and filling it up. Walking over to the kitchen bunker, he cut a big bit of cake, Mrs. Weasley was too shocked to say anything. He then took a spoon as well as fork and knife before walking right back out of the kitchen again.

"What is wrong with him?" asked Sirius, shocked at his godson's behavior.

"I think he wants some attention, just let him brood." said Dumbledore "No more talking behind Harry's back. He is here now and I would hate for him to overhear you."

"Of course sir." said Hermione. Ron just nodded.

"That doesn't explain why he is being like this, he didn't even cuddle me when I walked into his room, nor talk to me just said my name that's it." said Sirius looking annoyed.

"Like I said, he just wants a little attention, don't give him any just leave him alone, and Molly just take his food up to him if that's what he wants." said Dumbledore "It keeps him out of my hair, perhaps longer at the Dursley's would have done some good".

"Yes, all the way until school started." said Ron.

They had no idea someone on the other side looked like he had been hit on the face with a frying pan. A loan tear made its way down the now very alone boy's cheek as he walked up the stairs. He ate half heartily, not in the mood to eat at all.

He had known they were using him, but to the extent was beyond him, now he knew he could not trust Ron, Hermione, his own godfather or Dumbledore, not that he had.

There we go another chapter up and I hope you enjoyed it as much as I have in writing it! R&R please and goodbye!
