Life Is Full of Surprises( Harry Potter love story) Part 39

You waved good bye to Ted, the bus driver, as you exited to and started to make your way back home. You sighed as you tiredly dragged yourself home from a long tech rehearsal today. At the beginning of the summer you were invited to come and preform in a local theaters production of 'Spelling Bee'. You took any chance you could to get out of the house considering that you were still grounded. You walked towards Number 4 Privet Drive dreading your return when you noticed Harry finding in the garden under the window. You have him a questioning look mouthing " What are you doing." looking for an answer, but he signaled you into the house and mouthed that he would tell you later. As you opened to door to step inside you heard a deafening crack. You turned around quickly thinking it was a wizard either apperating or disapperating. You gave Harry a quick look before he shooed you inside. You ran up to your room, dropping your bag and then quickly running back down stairs to investigate what the noise was. By the time you got out side Harry was already a block and a half away. You followed him to a park down the street. Then you stopped before you went any further. This was the park, years ago, where Dudley's friends thought it would be fun to beat you up. You pushed the memory away not wanting to think about it. You sat down on the swing next to Harry and asked " Do why were you hiding when I got home?" " I was listening to the news. There's nothing too terrible happening so I'm assuming Voldemorts keeping a low profile right now." Harry answered. " Well I mean I guess that's good in a way at least he isn't mass murdering people." You smiled slightly trying to lighten the mood. You noticed Dudley and his gang walking past the two of you and you stiffened. Harry noticed and put a hand on your shoulder " I promise I won't let them do anything to you." Lucky they past without noticing the two of you. " So I'm guessing you heard that loud crack too? Did you see anything?" You asked changing the subject. " No I didn't see anything, but I'm guessing it was someone apperating or something. " Harry said still looking a little down. " Is everything okay?" You asked Harry resting a hand on his shoulder. " I haven't really heard from Ron or Hermione all that much this summer. I don't I just feel like there is something going on that they aren't telling me." You nodded. " Now that I think of it, I really haven't heard from Ginny either." You have maybe heard from Ginny once this summer, which was really unusual. A breeze came in a you shivered. " Harry I think I'm going to head back home, I'll see you in a little bit." You got up waved to Harry and started to walk away.

You were almost half way home when the sky got really dark and a bone chilling breeze ripped through you. You shook violently and you started to feel depressed. Like you were never going to be happy again. You stood in the middle of the street for a minute when you realized what was going on. " Sh it " You swore and started running back towards Harry. As you ran you reached for your wand. You swore again as you realized you had left it at home. Stupid stupid stupid, you chanted at yourself as you ran to find Harry. You heard a scream and turned the corner heading towards it. When you arrived you saw two dementors retreating to Harry's patronus. You heard hurried foot steps behind you and instinctively went to pull out your wand as you turned towards the noise. You cursed again remembering you didn't have your wand with you.

You were confused when you realized it was Mrs. Figg, your neighbor. Even more confused when she begged Harry to keep his wand out just incase the dementors came back. " Get the boy, we need to get you two home now." You hurried over to Dudley and help Harry pick him up. You flung one of his arms over you and helped Harry drag him home. On the walk home Mrs. Figg explained that she was a Squib and that Mundungus Fletcher was to be watching the two of you can keeping you safe this summer, but he had obviously disappeared somewhere when he needed to be protecting the two of you. Suddenly there was another crack and Mundungus appeared in front of you, startling you a bit. Mrs. Figg immediately started scolding him about how this was all his fault and how he needed to go to Dumbledore now and inform him on what has happened. You were surprised, she seemed like such a sweet old lady, but was acting like a drill sergeant. He quickly disappeared with another crack and you continued on your way back to the house. When you reached the door Mrs. Figg instructed the both of you to stay inside until told other wise. She disappeared back to her house and you rang the door bell you hands too full to handle a key.

Petunia opened the door and nearly screamed at the site of Dudley. " What happened!?" Petunia demanded. Vernon came up right behind her look less than pleased. And to help the situation even more, Dudley then proceeded to vomit and collapse onto the ground. Petunia screeched and her and Vernon pulled Dudley into the house. " Dudley, what happened sweet heart, what happened?" Petunia said almost in tears. He said nothing but pointed straight at Harry. You started to panic and Harry went into and explanation as to what happened when a owl flew in from an open window and dropped a letter in front of Harry and left it. Harry opened the letter and his jaw dropped. You grabbed the letter from his hand and started to read. You almost screamed when you read that he had been expelled for underage magic. Moments later an other owl arrived, Harry opened it and looked a tiny bit relieved. Again you took this letter and read it too. It was from Mr. Weasley and he said Dumbledore was sorting everything out and that Harry should not give his wand to anyone and under no circumstances should you or him leave the house. You handed the letter back to Harry and looked over to Dudley who looked absolutely terrible. You ran to the kitchen searching the cabinets for any chocolate at all. When you finally found some you ran back to the living room to hear Petunia confirm that dementors are real and that Harry's story was possibly true. You handed Dudley the chocolate and instructed him to eat it. After he had eaten half the bag of chocolate chips he was starting to look a little better. Two more letters arrived from the Ministry and Sirius. The one from the Ministry had said that Harry can keep his wand until the hearing. You both let out a sigh of relief and the after reading the second letter Harry announced that Sirius has instructed the both of you to stay in the house and you nodded. " Why would he want you two to stay inside?" Vernon asked. " To keep us safe. Now that Voldemort has returned and the dementor attack they don't want anything more to happen." Harry explained. " Are you telling me my daughter is now in danger because of you boy!" Petunia yelled. This was the first time she has referred to you as her daughter, in over a year. " It's not his fault!" You yelled back, sick of them blaming Harry for everything. " Do not speak back to your mother. You to your room now." Vernon said sternly. You obeyed marching up to your room and slamming the door. You threw yourself on the bed and listened to the argument unfolding downstairs.

You rubbed the sleep from your eyes as you stood up and stretched. You looked down to see that you were still wearing the same cloths as yesterday. You looked over at your clock and saw it was 7:30. You immediately started to panic. If you wanted to make it to rehearsal in time you had to be at the bus stop in 5 minutes. You hurried around your room tearing off the cloths from yesterday and putting new ones on. You ran to the bathroom bushed your teeth and washed your face at the same time ( which wasn't an easy task) and then finally ran back to your room and grabbed your back. 3 minutes to get to the bus stop. You ran down to the kitchen bushing your hair and grabbing an apple. " Where are you going?" Harry asked as he flipped through the morning paper. " Rehearsal. Can't talk going to be late." You said running out of the kitchen. " ___ Stop." Harry said right before ran out the door. " What?" You asked. 2 minutes. " We aren't aloud to leave the house. It's not safe." " Harry I will be fine I promise. Now I have to go see you later. And remember my show is tonight 7:30 you better be there!" You yelled over you shoulder as you finally ran out the door and sprinted to the bus stop. The bus was just pulling up when you got there and you jumped on. " Hectic morning?" Ted asked. " Ha you don't even want to know." You said taking your seat.

You glanced over at the clock to your right, 5:30. Had it really already been 10 hours. You were getting your hair and make- up done , preparing for the show which should start in 2 hours. Your hair was pulled back into a tight perfect pony tail. Your character, Marcy, was a perfectionist so everything about you had to look prim and proper. You couldn't help but laugh every time you saw the catholic school girl dress you had to wear. You quickly slipped it on and went to go do your mic check.

You took your final bow smiling from ear to ear, as everyone in the audience was on their feet cheering. The curtain went down and you exited the stage with the rest of the cast. You went into the girls dressing room. You changed back into your street clothes and took off all the make up. You hung up the dress so it would be ready for tomorrow's show and headed out the entrance where everyone waited for the cast. " Hey _____ " You turned to see Jack, one of the other actors in the show, walking towards you. " Hey Jack, Great show tonight" You smiled. " Thanks you too. So tomorrow after the show I'm having a little party, you should come." " Yeah totally I'll be there." " Okay good." Jack smiled "I'll give you details tomorrow." With that he left probably to go find his family. You searched the room trying to find Harry, but instead you saw someone else. Mundungus Fletcher. He was smiling and even though you had only met him yesterday, it seemed as if he never really smiled. He was obviously here to make sure you and Harry were okay, but you couldn't help but feel pleasure in the fact that he had came to watch your show. You had finally spotted Harry standing awkwardly with the Dursleys and you went to go greet them. " Great job!" Harry said hugging you once you approached. " Yes, good show." Vernon said very business like, as if he didn't want to show too much emotion. Dudley grunted in agreement and Petunia gave you a hug. It felt weird to be in her arms, she hadn't hugged you in a very long time. " I'm so proud of you. Great job sweat heart." She whispered into your ear. You were shocked to here her say that. You thought after you had made the decision to go to Hogwarts she could never be proud about anything you did, ever again. " Let's go." Vernon said motioning to the door. You smiled happily to yourself thinking nothing could ruin this good mood you were in.

You stumbled out of the car waving goodbye to Mary, another girl from the show, and unlocked the front door. It was pretty late, so everyone should be a sleep. You silently shut the door and climbed the stairs to go to bed. You ended up tripping every few stairs making your skins hurt like crazy. Maybe you shouldn't have had those couple of drinks. When you got to your room you kicked off your shoes and flopped onto the bed not caring about what you were wearing, just wanting to sleep.

The next morning when you awoke feeling terrible. Your head hurt as well as your stomach and you wanted nothing more then to go back to sleep. You looked over at the clock on your bedside table and realized it was 1 in the afternoon. You had to be at the theater in 4 hours for tonight's show, which was the last. You pushed yourself out of bed and headed for the bathroom to get some aspirin and then head down stairs to get a quick bite to eat. After you ate you went back up stairs took a shower and got ready for the day. It had been really quiet so you went to go check on Harry, but when you went to his room he wasn't there and neither was most of his stuff. You ran back down stairs " Where's Harry?!" You asked when you reached the kitchen. " He left." Petunia answered as she cut vegetables. " What do you mean he left?" You questioned. " He left. Last night. He's gone." Petunia said starting to loose her temper. You couldn't believe it, he did it again. He left without you even after promising time and time again that he would never leave you alone here ever again. Glanced over at the clock, it was 4 o'clock. You decided to leave early just so you could get out of the house.

As you walked in through you front door after your show, you immediately remembered the terrible feeling you had leading up to the show. How angry you were that Harry left again and how hurt you felt. You went into the kitchen to see Dudley and his friends pigging out. " Where is everyone?" You asked. " Mum and Dad went out for the night, won't be back until late." Dudley said with his mouth full. You entered the kitchen and scanned the fridge for anything to eat. There was barely anything left so you decided on an apple considering the only food left was the healthy food. You walked over the table to grab a cookie when you felt something grab onto you butt. You jumped around to see one of Dudley's friends looking very pleased with himself. You started to tense up when you realized who he was. He was the big guy at the play ground, who you guessed was the one who threw the rock and later on came back and kicked you in the stomach. You felt sick. You couldn't stand that he was in your house, you couldn't believe that he was still bothering you. You slowly backed away heading for the door and then sprinting for your room.

You laid in your bed asleep when you heard your door open, you ignored it still half a sleep and then you felt someone get onto your bed. You smiled " Seamus? Is that you? You know you're not allowed into the girls' dormitory." " It's not Seamus." The person laughed. You eyes flew open. Dudley's friend was sitting at the foot of your bed. " Get out of my room now!" You demanded. " Oh don't play those games. I know you want me." He said climbing on top of you. You were about to scream, but his lips came crashing onto yours before any noise could get out. You pushed against him kicking and trying to make him stop, but it was no use. He was too much stronger than you. " Please. Just leave me alone." You said as his lips left yours. He he didn't listen, his hands started to travel down your leg and then pulled at your pajama bottoms. " No. Stop. HELP!" You screamed. " No one can hear you." He laughed " Your parents aren't home and Dudley sleeps like a rock. No one can help you." Tears started streaming down your face. How could this be happening? This wasn't fair! What could you have possibly done to deserve this? As he hands started to reach places where they shouldn't have been your body went numb you couldn't feel and soon enough the same happened to you brain. Everything just shut off.

You laid in bed shaking from your lack in clothing and from the events that had just occurred. You weren't going to sleep tonight.

As the sun came up you pulled yourself out of bed, put a robe on and walked to the bathroom. You felt dead. You turned the shower on and when you dropped the robe you had seen the damage done to your body. Your arms and legs were heavily bruised along with your abdomen. You felt sick all over again. Everything from last night came rushing back to you. At the time you brain was off, but some how you seemed to remember ever single detail right now. Without realizing it you started sobbing uncontrollably. You stepped into the hot shower trying to wash away the memories from last night, but every time you closed your eyes his face was all you could see. You were a zombie. You walked around, ate,and supposedly had conversations, but you felt nothing. Until 9 that night. Three figured showed up at your door and announced they were taking you somewhere safe. I was until you invited them inside that you realized one of them was Professor Lupin. You tried your hardest to smile, but it probably just ended up looking like you were constipated. A witch who was introduced to you as Nymphadora Tonks went up to your room with you while Lupin and the other man with him went to go talk to the Dursleys. You packed in silence although she did try starting a conversation quite a few times. One you were packed you headed back downs stairs and before you new it you were on a back of a broom and flying to some unknown destination. When you landed you were handed a piece of paper that read ' The Headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix may be found at number twelve, Grimmauld Place, London,' and through the buildings already there emerged another which you all entered. You followed the other to a kitchen where several people were. Then you saw Harry come towards you and all feelings of anger and hurt and everything else came rushing back to you. " Hey-" You cut him off hitting in the arm with your purse. " Harry. James. Potter. I. Am. So. Angry. With. You. How. Dare. You. Leave. Me. There. By. Myself. After. You. Promised. You. Would. Never. Do. That. Again!" You spat each time hitting him with your purse again until you finally just broke down into tears, leaving everyone speechless.
