Part of our Flesh
Chapter 5
New thoughts

"Harry, that was a wonderful dinner. Thank you very much for coming over tonight. We both know how hard it is to take James here with you and walk all the way to our place for a simple dinner. Thank you."

"Hermione, really, it's nothing. I was just coming over, because Ron asked me. It's really nothing, and besides, your cooking was very…tasty. You're seeing Mrs. Weasley a little too much right now." Harry Joked.

Hermione laughed and slapped Harry on the arm. "Now seriously Harry, that was a really nice thing of you to do. Please do come more often, maybe everyday! How every meal, huh? That'd be nice-"

"Hermione, I think Harry would like some privacy too, you know." Ron said firmly.

"Oh, Ron, what do you know about privacy? Your boys don't come into the room every minute and try to keep you from sleeping when you really need it. What do you know about privacy?" snapped Hermione.

"I know enough that-" Ron started arguing, while Hermione simply rolled her eyes and shot back her harsh answers.

All the while, Harry was standing at the door, holding James in his arms and looking his friends and at the same time, watching over their kids.

Mitchell and Jonathan, used to their parents' bickering, only smiled at Harry.

Harry, felling out of place, quickly said, "Well, then. I think I'd better leave, because you two seem to want some privacy. I'm going to leave now, so if you want to call me, you can use the phone, or just come by and say hello or use the magical way. Hermione, Ron, Mitchell and Jonathan, good night!" And Harry quickly closed the door behind him and started walking home.

Not long after he left his friends' doorstep, Hermione opened the door and yelled out, Bye Harry! Sorry about that! Ron and I will be asking you over to dinner with us some time soon, okay? Now walk home safely and goodnight!"

And all Harry did was smile in the darken streets of England and waved-well, he tried to wave.

About half an hour later, Harry was still walking.

"Why did I even bother to walk home when I could have just Floo powdered home, but no. I just thought that I needed more exercise and that's why I chose to walk instead of floo powdering. Sometimes, I believe that James is the one that's making me think about things another way and not the way that I used to. James, James, James, my boy, what will I do with you?"

While Harry walked, someone was following him silently in the shadows.

Harry, still grumbling, continued to walk home, unaware of the extra attention.

Another half an hour later, Harry was still walking, only at a much slower speed.

He is tired from all the walking and also, he had to hold a sleeping James in his arms while carrying a heavy load of bag behind him that contained everything that James needed.

Harry sighed, "This is not funny. Not funny at all. First, I got lost while trying to go to Hermione's place. Second, I got lost trying to walk back to my place. And best of all, I got lost at the exact same spot as I did when I was walking to Hermione's place. I'm starting to feel hopeless and a little challenged. I feel so at lost, and James is not helping at all by sleeping and snoring quietly."

Suddenly, Harry saw someone that's walking on the other side of the road. Someone with bleached blonde hair in black.

Realization shot through him when he realized who it was, and he quickly went into the closest alley there was and he hid inside the shadows.

Harry quietly stayed that way for a while and holding dear James closely.

Five minutes passed, and nothing happened.

Five more minutes passed. And nothing happened.

Five more minutes passed. Nothing!

Harry sighed and grumbled at the same time. "I'm hallucinating. I'm sure of it."

Walking out of the shadows, Harry decided to resume walking, when suddenly, someone from behind grabbed him.

CLIFF HANGER!

I'm terribly sorry everyone! I was really busy lately and my computer crashed more than enough times, and it's also infected by viruses, and it's on it's way to be fixed. Hopefully you'll like this chappie.
