The Boy Who Protected

Battle in the Clouds

Kaden POV:

The day after we returned from Hogwarts, I took drastic measures to keep people safe. I told uncle Wendell and aunt Monica they had to come with me because their home was no longer safe. I decided to take them to Claire's castle so they could be with the order just in case someone tries to betray me. I also talked to mum and dad and we agreed that Tulip would also go to the castle since we couldn't risk her being used against us. When I dropped the Granger's off, I told them that there will be others joining them and that they wouldn't have to worry about food since it was all being taken care of. They just had to watch Tulip while we were gone.

I talked to Harry and after a long discussion, we decided it was best to move his nasty aunt and uncle from Privet Drive and into a home none of us knew where it was. They weren't happy about having to leave but once we explained why they had to go, the packed up and left the home they lived in for twenty years. Petunia was standing in her now empty sitting room looking around when Harry and I came in.

"I'm truly sorry about this, Petunia but it's for the best." I said.

"Kaden's right, if you stay and they find you they'll torture you because you have a relation to me." Harry said.

"Don't you both think I know what they are capable of? That night in Godric's Hollow, you didn't just lose your mother and Godmother. I lost my only sister that night as well." Petunia said.

"If it makes you feel any better, I had to send my own sister away. My parents and I couldn't risk her being used as a bargaining chip for them." I said.

Petunia looked at me with sad eyes then left the house to go to the car. They left shortly after and I apparated us back home. When we got there, we kept packing everything we would need for our mission to destroy the horcrux's. I had placed an undetectable extension charm on my backpack as well as Harry's and a feather charm to make our backpacks as light as possible.

When I was finished packing my room I went downstairs to see mum and dad packing up the house.

"Hey son, everything set with Petunia and Vernon?" Dad asked.

"Yeah, they left not too long ago. Is the Granger's house packed up?" I asked.

"It is, we sent everything to your other place so it's completely empty in their home now. Hermione and Naomi are upstairs right now with Harry. Once we finish packing, we'll send everything to the castle. The Sharp's will do the same." Mum said.

I nodded and stuffed my hands in my pockets while looking around the house I called home for almost my whole life. I felt a tear escape my eye as I remembered all the childhood memories I had here with mum, dad, and the Granger's. I was brought out of my own mind when I felt a hand on my shoulder.

"It's going to be alright Kaden." Dad said.

"It all went so wrong, so fast. We just uprooted two families today and now were uprooting along with the Sharp's." I stopped and took a deep breath. "I just want this to be over as quickly as possible so we can go back to our lives."

"We know, sweetheart." Mum said giving me a much needed hug.

The day had come where we decided on moving Harry to the Burrow, mum and dad were out to make sure everything was set. I stood in the empty foyer of the house and looked around while smiling sadly. Harry had come down with his backpack with Sky and Storm following after him. He walked up to me and we both looked around the place we both called home. The doorbell rang which caught both of our attention.

"Wands out, Harry." I said taking out my wand and slowly made my way to the front door and looked out before opening the door. On the other side was Aurora, the Granger sisters, All of the Weasley's except for Percy, Ginny, and Mrs. Weasley, Thena, Apollo, Mad eye, Sirius, Bella, Fleur, Tonks, Kingsley, Mum, Dad, and Cedric and last but not least Hagrid.
