Part
2: I’m My Own Man
The
next afternoon Harry walked into his bedroom to find a very annoyed
owl waiting for him.
“Sorry
girl, Uncle Vernon had even more on my list today.” He
removed the letter from Hedwig’s leg and gave her a owl treat.
“ Thanks
girl “. Hedwig hooted and nipped at his fingers and flew to
her cage to rest. Harry sat down on his bed to read Remus’s
reply.
Dear
Harry,
I
will meet with you at the park by your home tonight at 8:00pm.
Be
careful,
Remus
“Well
I better get busy if I’m going to be able to see Remus
tonight.” Harry hurried off to finish his chores.
At
7:45pm Harry was heading for the door when his Uncle stopped him.
“ Where
do you think you’re going boy ? “
“I
have to meet Remus, you know the werewolf guy you’ve talked to
at the station. He is meeting me at the park but if I’m late
he is likely to come here looking for me. “
Uncle
Vernon suddenly turned a sickly white. “ Fine , go. Don’t
keep him waiting.”
Harry
rushed out the door and once outside he laughed all the way to the
park.
He
glanced around and not seeing Remus he found a secluded bench on
which to wait. Within minutes he hear a crack and Remus was standing
on the edge of the park. Remus looked around and upon seeing Harry
smiled and started to walk towards him.
‘ God
he is gorgeous when he smiles like that ‘ thought Harry. ‘
Stop thinking like that, he’s just a friend.’
As
Remus walked towards Harry he could not help think ‘ Harry
looks great, he’s really grown up into a handsome young man.
Stop thinking like that he’s James’s son for Merlin’s
sake! ‘
Remus
sat down beside Harry on the bench. “So you wanted to talk to
me ? “
“As
you know I turn seventeen on July 31st. Dispite that
Dumbledore seems to think he can order me to stay here all summerand
not go to Grimmauld Place. There is no way that is happening.”
“I’m
sure he has his reasons...”
Harry
interrupted “No he has not right to tell me I can not stay IN
MY OWN HOUSE! “ Harry breathed deeply “ I’m
leaving here July 31st no matter what but I was hoping you
would come with me, I was planning on making a few stops on the way.”
“What
do you mean a few stops ?”
“Gringgotts,
Diagon Alley and muggle London to shop. Please Remus, I’m
going to do this anyway but I would feel safer with you accompanying
me. “
“You
certainly seem to have planned this all out “ , Remus stated.
“I agree that Dumbledore has interfered with your life for far
too long, even through it was to keep you safe.”
“Keep
his weapon safe you mean “.
“Harry..”
“No
Remus, he his lied to me and kept things from me. He plays my life
like a pawn in some demented chess game with Voldermort. NO MORE!
Dumbledore can go to hell and I intend to tell him that. I’m
taking control of my own life! You’re the only one I trust
anymore, please Remus support me , help me. “
“Of
course Harry. I’ll be here on July 31st to pick you
up.”
“Thank
you”. Harry flung his arms around Remus, hugging him tight.
Remus was startled at first but soon returned the hug just as hard.
“You
deserve to be happy Harry. I know you’re frustrated with
everything just try to talk to Dumbledore once more.” Harry
glared. “Tell him you want to know everything and if he tries
to moddle coddle you then tell him to sod off .”
Harry
smiled at Remus. “Ok you win, I’ll talk to the git AFTER
I’m finished with my make -over plans.”
“Make-over
plans ?” Remus smirked.
“Yes
a make-over. I hate my hair, I’m getting contacts and wonders
of wonders clothes that actually fit. I’m tired of looking
like a clone of my dad. “
Remus
laughed “Ok , ok you deserve a make-over.” He looked
around, “ it’s getting late I’ll walk you back to
the house.”
“Just
not to the door, Uncle Vernon will have a fit. Then again it might
be funny”, Harry snickered.
“You
are a real brat tonight you know “, Remus said sternly but the
laughter was dancing in his eyes.
“What
are you going to do, spank me ?” , Harry smirked.
Remus
blinked, ‘I’d love to turn him over my knee’ he
thought. “ Come on you brat let’s go.”
They
walked back to Privet Drive in silence, Remus keeping on alert for
any sign of danger. As they got to within a few houses they stopped.
“See you in a few weeks Harry.” Remus watched Harry go
into the house, shaking his head he walked back to the park and
apparated away.
