Harry Potter: The Broken Boy

Chapter Five

It was now the end of july. A week before my birthday, I wasn't looking forward to it. I had never gotten anything, but then again, I didn't deserve presents. I was really looking forward to seeing Hermione and Remus being my professor. Remus had come into my room. He sat on the side of my guest bed next to me.

"Harry, I'd like you to meet someone." He said, smiling down at me. I was confused, I hadn't known whom he was talking about but he was about to tell me. He had gotten up and walked toward the door. When he returned, I spotted him holding hands with a woman with purple hair.

"Harry, This is Nymphadora Tonks, My girlfriend."

I had backed up nervously. I was scared that she might hurt me. But Remus grabbed my hand and gave me the 'It's ok!" look. I had glimsped at Remus nervously. He nodded, giving me the okay. I shook her hand and she smiled at me. Remus must have mentioned me to her because she seemed to know me.

The sun had shined in my face as I awakened. As I opened my eyes, I could see Remus, Tonks, Mrs. Weasley and Neville standing over me. I smiled polietly. I made my way to the bathroom to brush my teeth. I had gotten dressed and made my way back to the guest bedroom. Everyone had smiled brightly. I sat on the bed and started to unrap presents. I had gotten a red sweater with an 'H' on it from Mrs. Weasley, I had gotten chocolate from Neville, and I had gotten new sets of clothing from Remus and Tonks.

"Now close your eyes, Harry" Remus had said, smiling.

I had closed my eyes. My vision was now blocked by my eyelids. I had felt someone placing something on my lap. It was kind of heavy but light at the same time.

"Open them."

I had opened my eyes. I then looked down at my lap and saw a book on Quidditch players and skills. I smiled down it. But I hadn't known who placed it on my lap. The book was enchanted so the pictures in the book had moved. I turned from the book to Remus, to Mrs. Weasley, to Neville, to Tonks but they all shook their heads, letting me know that neither of them had given me the book. The last thing that Remus had told me was to turn around. I gave him a weird look before turning around.

When I turned around, I was shocked at the sight at what I had saw. Hermione was looking at me and smiling, I had to wipe my eyes to see if it was a dream. It wasn't. I ran up to Hermione and hugged her tightly. She had hugged me back. When we broke apart, she had kissed me softly on the cheek. I had blushed as deep red as a rose bush when we heard 'ooh's and 'ahh's when she kissed my cheek, I hadn't noticed if she blushed or not when she kissed my cheek. I was kind of happy when I heard that she would be staying with me for the rest of the summer until we go back to Hogwarts. At least now I had a friend who cared about me.
