The truth... Now what do I do?

Prologue

(Hi, guys. I know that i haven't updated on my other stories lately but ive had a lot on my mind and im not sure what i want to do next so i have taken a step back from those books but i hope to try and start again tomorrow. Anyway, this is a snarry book. All rights over characters goes to J.K rolling. I hope you all like it and also it will start off at the end third year. ~K)

                                        *Harry*

It's now two weeks until the end of my third year of Hogwarts. Two weeks until i have to leave my home. Two weeks until i have to endure my uncle's abuse once again. Two weeks until i get to see my best friend.

Natalia Grey, is my best friend that just happens to be a muggle. She was the only person that would talk to me when i went to muggle school. She knows all my secrets and i know all hers. We still talk everyday by hedwig. Like today, i was sitting on my bed, finishing last minute homework and Hedwig flew in. 

I pet her soft feathers, "Hey girl." Hedwig hoots and raises her left leg. I gently take the letter from her and give her a treat. I see that it's from Natalia and a smile forms on my lips. I open it and begin to read:

        Dear Har-bear,

I can't wait until these next two weeks are over, I miss you. I hope we can go to our tree house to get away from our home lives. Mother has gotten worse, if that's possible. I have a few 'new' scars from mother now. I was hoping that we could do something for my birthday when you get back, seeing as it's two days after you get back. Only if you're up for it. Well, i have to go. Mother is about to be up and i don't want mother to see Hedwig. By the time you get this letter mother should have left by the time you send a letter back. I love you Har-bear, I miss you a lot. How are things over there? How are Ron and Hermione?  How are your classes? Tell me everything.

Your best friend,

Natalia Grey

I couldn't help but frown at the part about her mother. Natalia lost her father when she was four years old, it took a bad turn on her mum. At first she just drank her sorrow away and ignoring Natalia. Then after two years, she started to hit Natalia for little things and after a wail she started full on beating Talia. Her mother would say that Natalia looked to much like her father and she didn't like that. 

When we were seven, me and Talia were walking in the woods to get away from our home lives. We came across a old broken down tree house. Natalia got a good idea to fix it up and make it into a little house for us to get away from everything. It took a few months but we made it pretty much brand new. It was two stories. The original layout  was only one a small kitchen, living room, a small bedroom and a bathroom. 

After we fixed the first floor, we made the second one. The second floor contained three bedrooms and two bathrooms. The small bedroom on the first floor, had my books from Hogwarts, other book on all my subjects, and things to make potions. I guess you could say it was my potions lab. One of the rooms is Natalia's bedroom and the one next to it is her art room. The last one is my bedroom. Beside my bedroom is one of the bathrooms. The second one is connected to Natalia's bedroom and art room.

I set my books aside, grabbing a parchment and a ink quail. I begin writing:

           Dear Talia,

Tally, i wish i could do more to help you about 'home'. I hope you are still getting the money, that i send with Hedwig, every month. I'm sorry about your mum. Of course we can go to our tree house. If you want, you can live there instead of with your mother. I will pay for everything that you need and I will get you a house elf, I know one that would love to 'work' for me. I know you will like him but this is up to you Tally. Ron has been acting... different. Hermione is great as always, she is like a sister to me. Classes are great but something is off with the Headmaster. Do you remember me tell you about him? 

I miss you to, Natalia. I can't wait until i get back. I would love to do something for your birthday. I have a gift for you already. I know that you will love it.  Also, I have potions for us, for when we get hurt by 'mistake'. I hope to hear from you soon. I love you Tally.

Your best friend,

Harry Potter

After giving hedwig my letter and another treat, she fly's off to Natalia. Just as I'm about to be done with my potions homework, Hermione and Ron come in. I smile at Hermione and give a small nod to Ron. Me and Ron have been on edgy for some time now. After I heard Headmaster Dumbledore and Ron talking two weeks ago, it's been different, I no longer trust either of them. 

                                                                          *Flashback*

Me and Hermione are walking around. Hermione talking about something she read in a book. We pass an empty classroom and hear voices. Me and Hermione stop and look through the door. I hear Hermione gasp when we see Ron and Dumbledore. 

"But Professor, I want my money from the Potter vaults. Harry and Hermione are driving me bloody mad!" 

I look over at Hermione and she has tears in her eyes, she had a crush on Ron. I wrap my arms around her and hold her close as we keep listening to them. "Yes, I'm aware of what you want Mr. Weasley but you must be patient. Mr. Potter doesn't know the truth or his inheritance. Once this summer is over, he wont be able to get his inheritance and we are all set. Now you must be have and keep playing are their friends for now," Dumbledore replies. 

Me and Hermione walk off after that. We have been distance with Ron and Dumbledore since that night.

                                                                           *End of Flashback*

Hermione sits next to me and Ron sits at the end of the bed. I pass my homework over to Hermione.

I look over at Ron and can't help but feel betrayed. The 'Golden trio' is slowly coming to an end. Me and Hermione no longer trust Ron but we came up with a small plan. We are going to keep being 'friends' with him and I keep doing as Dumbledoor wants until we figure out something to do. We plan to show the our people what kind of man Dumbledore really is but we must wait until it is time.

This summer while I'm at 'home', i will sneak out and try to go to Gringotts and I will see what I can find out.

As me and Hermione talk about homework, I see Ron leave the room with an angry puff. 

I give Hermione a soft smile and tell her what Natalia told me in the letter. Hermione is the only on I trust with knowing about what goes on in my "loving" home and about Natalia. "Harry? Is it alright if i meet her one day? You have talked so much about her and I know we would get along. Perhaps, me and my family could come visit sometime at your tree house. If you and Talia are ok with that," Hermione asks me.

I think for a moment, "I think that would be a great Idea 'monie. I'll owl Natalia after dinner and see what she thinks. I'm she wouldn't mind and I wouldn't mind cooking dinner for your family. Natalia has been wanting to meet you but you have to keep in mind that she will be a bit jumpy. Our home lives are not the greatest as you know, so if she says yes on it then we have to go over some ground rules. I don't want her to get scared, it's my job to protect her."

Hermione smiles and we head to the great hall for dinner. I catch 'moine staring at Draco Malfoy and let a small smile grace my lips as we sit down.
