He was running. Running. He couldn't get away. It was getting closer and closer, until it overtook him. Before he went into consciousness he heard a fanatical laugh just like the one he heard before his parents died…

Harry Potter woke up with a start. He was sweating from head to toe. He tossed away his comforter and looked about his room.

Hedwig was still away on an errand. -

Other than the bed he was sleeping on, the drawers next to the bed, above which laid Hedwig's cage, the wardrobe against the far wall, and the desk in the middle piled high with school books; his room had almost no furniture.

Harry got up and went to the bathroom to dry himself off (he made sure to use uncle Vernon's towel). As he got back to his room he thought that instead of trying to go back to sleep he should try and catch up on his schoolwork (Yes, Hermione's study habits had finally rubbed off on him). In the beginning of the summer he was saddened by the previous death of his God-Father. But he figured instead of wasting his entire summer by mourning he would try to get ready for the final battle. So far he was almost done with the 7th year books and he was only in 6th. He was going to have to go shopping this summer to buy other books. He figured he would buy some more advanced dark art books. After all the dark arts do prove to be stronger than any other magic he had read. Who cares if they are dark, no magic is just black and white right?

As he picked up a book called "First hand guide to herblore" by Professor P. Lants he heard a couple of creeks near the window. He waited patiently until the he was positive the intruders were behind him. Immediately he snatched up his wand from his pocket (he now slept with his wand just in case) and yelled, "Accio Invisibility cloaks". Out flew 3 invisibility cloaks into his hand unveiling Mad Eye Moody, Tonks, and Kingsley.

Mad Eye Moody had his hair sort of ruffled and still had his magic eye. Both eyes seemed to be in shock. He wore a long dirty black cloak that seemed to have seen many battles. Tonks looked as lovely as ever, today she seemed to have chosen some long red hair (that seemed to remind him of Ginny). She wore a tank top that seemed to affirm her upper cleavage and she wore some blue jeans. She didn't seem to be to surprise that Harry had caught them. Instead she seemed a little smug. Kingsley had straight hair and a very dignified black robe. He was by far the most shocked, his eyes were practically bulging out of their sockets.

"Accio wands" and soon Harry had caught himself three experienced Aurors all by himself. Leaving Kingsley open mouthed. They had barely even made more noise than a mouse and yet an inexperienced STUDENT was able to leave them hopeless. Mad Eye Moody seemed to be thrilled though.

"Brilliant Potter like I always said, CONSTANT VIGILANCE". Tonks and Kingsley cringed at hearing Mad Eye Moody well known motto.

Harry then faced Moody and asked "Where is the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix located?" Moody responded "12 Grimmauld place."

He turned to look at Tonks, "In auror training what class did you almost fail?" She replied "Stealth and Tracking." Then he looked at Kingsley, "Other than the normal residents of 12 Grimmauld who else inhabits it?" Kingsley thought a moment then stated "The Hippogriff."

Harry smiled at them and apologized for questioning them.

"Sorry about that just had to make sure, you know. So how are you doing?" He said to them.

"We understand with the war and everything. We are all doing well Harry", said Kingsley.

"It is good to see that you have been paying attention to me", exclaimed Moody looking prouder than ever.

Rolling her eyes Tonks looked back at Harry and said, "It is great to see you in such good health! And have you been working out?" Tonks lifted an eyebrow at this as she approvingly observed his now well toned body.

Harry blushed a little at this but soon regained his composure and mentioned that he went to the gym every now and then to train his body for dueling.

"You know, when I am an auror!"

And when I go off to fight against Voldemort Harry thought.

"So then, hope you don't mind me asking, but why did you three try to break into my room, sneak up behind me with wands at the ready, and at this ungodly hour?"

Without delay, all three of them started to look nervous. Even Kingsley was sweating (considering he is considered one of the best aurors and Head of the Department).

"Well you see", Tonks started.

"Dumbledore sent us to take you to Grimmauld place" growled Moody. "Said it would be best to send you during the night while you were still sleeping, so you could come without difficulties."

"You know with your Godfather being dead" mentioned Tonks with a saddened tone.

Harry felt a little bad at this knowing that Tonks was probably one of the few people who were also very close to Sirius. When earlier during the summer he had spent a good deal mourning about it. He also knew that Dumbledore was right if they had gotten him awake at any other circumstances he would have immediately refused and put up a struggle.

"Well now that you are awake you might as well help us pack, your friends have been waiting to talk to you since the beginning of the summer" put in Kingsley as he slowly started to gather Harry's things.

"Ron and Hermione are there!" asked Harry bewildered by this sudden burst of news."

Tonks smiled at this "Been asking for you all summer as far as I can remember".

"Well what are we waiting for" asked Harry as he started to busy himself with packing.

As Moody went over to close the book Harry was recently reading, he grunted and tossed the book over to Kingsley, who caught it easily. He skimmed through it and asked Harry if he knew that the book was a little advanced for a fifth year going on sixth.

Harry mentioned he had read everything else which surprised everyone especially Tonks who said it took her forever to understand the 6th year books much less the 7th. Moody grunted something along the lines of needing to buy some more advanced books for Harry.

As they finished everything without waking up the Dursleys, Harry asked how they would be arriving to 12 Grimmauld Place. As a response Moody took a Firebolt out that seemed to explain everything.

As he flew through the air Harry could not believe how much he had missed his broom as he did many neck breaking stunts that seemed to make Kingsley and Moody dizzy. Apparently Dumbledore had gone up to the Wizenmagot and asked to allow Harry and his broom to once again be reunited. As he just barely managed to pull himself out of a dive he spotted 12 Grimmauld Place. He slowly started to descend as did everyone else.

Tonks and Kingsley walked beside him to the house. Moody took the back. When he turned to look at Grimmauld Place it started to look cheerful as if a long, depressed, trapped, soul had been freed from all its worries. Harry smiled and held back a tear.

He saw Tonks hair color turn dark black as she entered the house. As they entered the building they all heard the familiar voice of Mrs. Black. "YOU UGLY HALFBLOODS AND BLOOD TRAITORS, GET OUT OF MY HOUSE! THIS IS MY HOUSE GET OUT ALL OF YOU!"

As they entered the kitchen Harry saw many order members sitting around the dining table discussing something. When they saw Harry they immediately stopped talking and all got up to greet him.

First there was Mrs. Weasly who gave him a huge bear hug and asked him how he was doing and mentioning how they had tried to let him come earlier but how Dumbledore had said that it would be best to leave you alone a while to bring yourself together. Harry said he was fine. He gave Mr. Weasly a handshake and greeted Professor. McGonagall. Lupin seemed a little dazed and seemed to not be taking too much care of himself. It looked like he hadn't gotten a haircut for a few months and was as skinny as bones. Snape refused to even give him eye contact.

To his surprise Bill and Fleur were there. Bill mentioned that he and Fleur had become Order members earlier during the summer. He gave Bill a handshake and went over to Fleur to give her a polite peck on the cheek. As he was about to he felt a powerful force pulling him to kiss her fully on the lips. It felt as if true happiness would only come if he gave into the voice. He slowly fought it and was starting to pull away but it seemed to grow stronger. It seemed to be trying not to let go of him but at the end Harry barely resisted temptation and he pulled away. Yet he pulled away so fast that he lost his balance.

As he was falling he stared into Fleur's eyes which seemed to be glazed over. One of the last thoughts that went through his head were "She looks beautiful!" Harry slowly gained his senses when he felt the ground. He heard everybody yelling at him about what had happened and if he was alright. He noticed Fleur regain her senses and telling Bill that all of a sudden her veela powers went out of whack and that it seemed that Harry had gone against it and resisted. She mumbled so softly that Harry barely heard it that it was the first time anyone had been able to resist her at half veela power as she looked at him admiringly.

Mr. Weasley helped him up but Mrs. Weasley seemed to be making a big fuss over that had just happened and it took a couple of minutes before Harry finally was able to soothe her that he was okay.

After everything settled down Bill asked everyone in the room that wasn't it time for everyone to sleep? It was 2:36 am and didn't we all have to get up in the morning for one reason or other?

With that they all went to bed. As he was walking to the usual bedroom Ron and he shared while Bill passed by with Fleur. Bill mentioned that Dumbledore had said that it would be best if he took the room across the hall of Bill's. With that Harry followed Bill until Bill stopped and said that this room was his and that the room across was Harry's. Fleur mumbled that her room was down the hall. With that Harry went inside his room. He was extremely tired so when he found his bed he stripped down to boxers without even looking at the surroundings and was asleep before his head hit the pillow.

He awoke to a creek inside his room. He tensed up, his mind going a million miles per hour. Could it be a messenger of Voldemort coming to kill him? Was it Bellatrix? Was it Voldemort himself? Only one way to find out. He slowly lifted himself off the bed just barely and what he saw mesmerized him. Fleur was walking slowly to him. It seemed like there was a glow about her as she walked in her white night gown that reached to the tip of her elegant feet.

She slowly went to him and sat on the side of the bed. Harry laid himself flat and pretending to sleep. His mind was going a billion thoughts per mille-second. Why is she here? Is she here to kill me? Is he here to make out with me? Does she want to do more than make out with me? Is she here only to send a message? Well if she is here to kill me I'll die happy seeing an angel. If she is here to make out with me I'll be the happiest man in the world. If she wants more… (Smile). If she wants to give me a message I will kill Dumbledore. So with that arranged in his mind Harry patiently waited in silence.

Fleur slowly nudges him so he pretended as if he had just awoken mumbling if it was morning already? And that he wanted five more minutes. Fleur smiled him her 500 watt smile and said she wanted to speak with him (God no, not choice #4). He slowly got up and asked what she needed.

She brought the subject about what happened earlier. She said that no one had ever been able to withstand her at half power. Harry frowned a bit and said that he was a little special. Fleur held her breath and asked if he would allow her to use her full veela power on him to see if he could resist her. Harry thought a while and thought that he didn't want to look like a fool and jump her immediately. So he asked if she could put him on half power and slowly rise to when he lost it. She readily agreed.

He eased himself to sit himself straight to a comfortable position. His comforter slid down a little showing off his six-pack abs to the world. Fleur blushed a little but made no comment. She concentrated a little and he felt it again. It had the same command and asked him to kiss her. He slowly resisted as it got stronger and stronger. He was losing himself, he soon felt his breath upon her mouth and knew he was about to give in to the wonderful heaven that awaited him. Then all of a sudden, a dormant power deep within him awakened. He felt it go through his body, it was like magic, but he knew it was not. Soon he saw the power of Fleur's veela command and with his mind he easily demolished it.

He pulled back easily and started to puff and wheeze with the sudden burst of power. Fleur looked tired but more so she looked shocked. Harry asked how he did; she smiled a little and said he did fine. She said he should rest and she would talk to him later. He smiled a little and felt a little power unconsciously coming from him to her. She turned around looked at him and smiled. She moved her face up to his and gave him a little peck on the lips. He saw her resisting something though what it was he could not tell. He would need to ask her later on he thought as he drifted away to sleep…

AN: So how was it? It was the first story I have written so I have no idea how to compare it. If anyone has any good ideas for later chapters please review. Don't worry I will try not to keep everyone hanging on to the next chapter and put it off until next year. Please R&R.
