Harry Awoke the next day with light piercing his eyelids from the morning sun. Well, at least he thought it was the morning sun, but the sounds in the room reminded him to use his now stung eyes. As he opened his panicked eyes he saw a concerned Remus Lupin starring back at him with his wand pointed absentmindedly at his face. As Harry positioned his hand to move Remus’ wand Remus visually relaxed.
“ Blimey Harry, I swear I thought you were dead.” said Remus, “ Do you always sleep so soundly in your bed?”
Harry considered the statement with disdain due to the fact that Remus and the others knew full well that they had left him in the cesspit of a home all summer and that he in no way considered it a “Comfortable Area” for sleep.
“ OF COURSE NOT!!!” screamed Harry, “ I just got the news you were coming so…I was looking forward to it alright. What are you doing here anyway? Isn’t it a little early?”
Remus answered slightly chuckling, “ Yes, well I suppose it is but it’s imperative we get you out of here now Harry. I’m afraid something terrible has happened here, Mrs. Figg informed us of the odd men around your house. Did you notice anything strange around here?
Harry found the whole situation rather odd, especially the last question, after all hadn’t Remus found Harry soundly asleep in his bed.
“ No, I haven’t noticed anything at all. Why? What’s happened Remus? Tell me, please.” Harry asked
“ Harry, your family, the Dursleys’, they were found dead on their front porch. No one knows how or why, not even Mrs. Figg but we must get you out of here now and I mean NOW! So, come on your packed and I’ve made everything pocket sized, we’re going to the Burrow now. “ Said an increasingly agitated Remus Lupin
Harry was stunned; he didn’t know what to think. The only thing that creped into his mind is that he had spent the night, among other things, trying to think of the best way to hex Dudley for an eon or so. It was just so…unbelievable. He felt like he just wanted to scream. Of all things to happen, they were horrible people sure, but they were still the only family he had left now he had nothing, no one, he hadn’t felt so alone in years. It was just too much to bear for Harry as his world had steadily blacked, until finally a pop on his head and a sharp smack with a wand brought him out of his depressed stupor and he looked up to see a very angry faced Remus.
“ DAMIT HARRY!!! GET THE HELL UP. I know that this is a lot to take in at once but we don’t have the time to deal with emotional break downs right now we have to go!” screamed Remus as he hoisted Harry out of his bed with one arm. Harry now officially a little freaked out at that unnatural strength of the lanky Lupin looked up at the face of the would be friend and saw steadily blacking eyes. Knowing that the full moon was only a few days away Harry had to assume they were the affects of the on coming transformation and made a mental note to ask later, but at the moment he was content with being dragged into the fireplace.
“ Alright, Harry you go first, remember its floo powder and The Burrow.” said Remus. “ Now go on Harry.”
Taking his possessions from Lupin, Harry entered the fireplace and tossed the powder and said the words The Burrow, and felt the familiar spinning sensation over take him, and thanked god that he had learned how to do this right. Not relishing the thought of wandering into that same cramped alley as before.
As if all at once Harry reappeared stumbling into the living room of the Burrow, lights dimmed per usual at night. Falling dumbly on the floor from the near vertigo affects of the floo, he found himself hoisted up by Remus fallowing him through.
“Alright there Harry?” asked Remus, looking concerned and whose eyes Harry had noticed hat returned to normal.
“Yes, I’m fine Lupin. Just a little disheveled, I really don’t know what’s going on right now ya know.” answered Harry
Remus laughed, “ Well, I suppose I can relate to the lack of information, I actually did tell you all I knew at the house. Professor McGonagall will be by tomorrow at your party to explain exactly what happened to at your house, along with Tonks and myself for your party.”
Remus smiled at Harry, and Harry couldn’t help but laugh a little at the sight of one of his would be uncles looking so over joyed with the prospect of a party, as well as noticing a bit of mischief in his eyes.
“Well, I suppose that will do. I can’t say I’m happy but if you swear you know nothing more then I do then I’ll let it pass I suppose. Thank you for whatever it’s worth Remus.” replied Harry to which Remus smiled.
“Not a bother at all Harry, always glad to help out you after all, you are my favorite little nephew.” Remus replied teasingly. “Ah, seems Mrs. Weasley has come to join us. Hello Molly!”
“What!?” said a startled Mrs. Weasley “ Oh Remus dear, what in the world are you doing here, and Harry? Wait, what’s going on?”
“Can’t explain Molly, see that Harry here gets something to warm him up and a place to sleep, sorry to impose but he needs to be here now, and in either case I really must dash.” said Remus, looking slightly bemused at the prospect of leaving Mrs. Weasley disheveled, and with that walked promptly out the door and disappeared out of sight.
Harry wasn’t a bit surprised when he was enveloped into a bone-crushing hug from Mrs. Weasley, or when he was moved directly into a chair with a bowl of her patented onion soup and a cup of tea. It was then that Mrs. Weasley actually started huffing about busying herself obviously trying not to be to prying with Harry or angry with Remus with leaving her with no information.
“I hope I’m not imposing to much Mrs. Weasley.” said Harry
Mrs. Weasley had never looked so scandalized in her life.
“HARRY JAMES POTTER, DON’T YOU EVER DARE SAY SUCH A THING IN FRONT OF ME AGAIN!” screamed Molly “ You know full well that you are as very much a member of this family as Ron or Ginny, you have every right to “impose” whenever you wish.”
With that the conversation was over as a good handful of people were heard scrambling down the stairs at the sound of Harry’s full name screamed at the top of housemother’s voice. First and for most of course was Ron, followed by a very dazed Ginny, as well as George and Fred who had apparently come for Harry’s birthday, and finally Hermione Granger who looked to be in no hurry although Harry knew if she could have she would have jumped on him in concern.
“Oy, Harry watcha doin’ here so early mate.”, said a very excited Ron
“Trust me Ron I’d love to be able to answer that question but I’m not very sure myself”, said Harry leaving out the news of his family
“Heeya Harry, aren’t you a sight for sore eyes, it’s good to see ya!” said the twins in there usual togetherish manner.
“Hey…Ya…Guys.” Stumbled Harry being vigorously pounded by the twins as they congratulated him for being in their presence.
It was then that Harry noticed a sheepish looking Ginny standing back from the ever present pounding in a very unginnish way.
“Oy, Ginny aren’t you gonna give me a hug.”, said Harry opening his arms for the hug awaiting him, and as he was promptly taken up on him offer.
Ginny ran into Harry’s arms and clutched him hard in fact harder then he was expecting, drawing concern to Harry’s face. Drawing her face into his hand he dropped down to a knee and asked her what was wrong.
“Ginny, what’s wrong? Are you alright?” asked Harry with concern on his face. Surprised replaced it at the anger radiating from Ginny.
“How could you ask that Harry? Your whole family was slaughtered in front of their house last night by Death Eaters and you have the guts to ask how I’m feeling. Bloody hell can’t you ever worry about yourself.” Screamed Ginny, as the whole room went silent at the news
Harry’s face went pale. He hadn’t known that, hadn’t even had an inkling. Then again he probably should had, he knew his family was dead but he hadn’t even thought of Death Eater’s, after all they were muggles. True muggles even, nothing to do with wizarding folks in the least, they disdained their company after all. How could that have happened? How and why was he still alive? So many questions just overflowed his head, overwhelming him.
Harry felt himself get light headed and being to sway and as he began to fall into the darkness that was swiftly consuming him, soft warm hands came up and guarded him from what he thought was the unavoidability of insanity, and a caring voice spoke only his name, “Harry”.
