A/N Hiya!! What a surprise that I'm back less than a few weeks after finishing my previous fic to write another one hehe!! However, as you may have guessed from the summary (those of you who know my stuff), this story is QUITE different from my others. Yes, I am going to attempt… SLASH! Argh! I have given in to the slash temptation; I love it so much. And I have 'gorgeousbowneyes' to thank for that! (Thank you dear!) So… All I'm asking is please be nice to me; it is, after all, my first try at a slash so it mightn't be very good at all. If you review, don't be afraid to give me all the constructive criticism you want! I'd love a lot of that to really help me write it! Anyways, I'll stop babbling and start to write. I hope you like it…

Also, (sorry, I keep going on don't I?!) this is set forgetting about Deathly Hallows. However, Harry has already finished school. So he did seventh year, but not the way that we as readers now know it. Get me? I know there's a special word or phrase to describe that, but I can't think of it right now…

Warning! This fic has got HET in it as well. Between Harry/Ginny, so just to let all of you het haters know that…

Disagreeing

He strode from the room and slammed the door so violently behind him that he swore the walls had shaken, before Lupin opened it again so quickly that he hadn't even gotten halfway up the stairs.

"Harry, calm down. Please!" Remus Lupin said calmly from the bottom of the staircase.

Harry Potter turned around to stare at him, red faced, without saying a word, but giving him a look that meant he would never give in to this ridiculous idea that had concocted in Lupin's mind.

"Harry," Lupin said, slowly walking up the stairs to meet him, "I'm only thinking of your safety. I thought you'd grown up so much in this past year. I thought you knew how dangerous everything was."

"I do know, Remus," Harry answered stiffly, "But I've told you, I have other things to do than to be locked in a house with… with him!"

"I know you aren't the best of friends, but that is the only safe place for you. And the fact that you aren't friends makes it even more safe! You-know-who would never suspect you to be there," Lupin explained, much to Harry's distaste.

"It doesn't make a difference anyway, because I've got other things to be doing!" Harry repeated angrily.

"Like wooing your far too young fiancé?" Lupin suddenly snapped, forcing Harry to jolt back a bit.

"She's not too young!" Harry snapped back after recovering, "And that's not the only thing I'll be doing! She'll be in Hogwarts anyway!"

"If it stays open," Lupin mumbled.

"What?"

Lupin looked up at him then, right into his eyes, and Harry knew he was seeing James rather than his best friends son. Finally, Lupin shook his head.

"Harry, I know you're of age, and you can take care of yourself. But nonetheless, you have no choice in this particular matter. You're going to stay there for as long as it takes for the other able Order members and I to track down those Horcruxes, and then…"

"You don't even know what you're looking for!" Harry cut him off by shouting.

"Well do you?" Lupin retorted quickly.

Harry stared for a moment, then looked away; shamefully giving Lupin his answer.

"Right," Lupin took a deep breath, "Then that's finally decided. You're moving to Malfoy Manor in one week. And you'll stay there until I say so, understand?"

Harry looked up at his old Professor with a scowl that could kill on his face, but nodded.

"Good. Dinner is at seven. The Weasley's are coming," Lupin said shortly before walking back down the stairs and entering the room from whence he came.

Harry scowled at the door for a moment longer, and then proceeded up the stairs to pack his things to leave Grimmauld place in a week.


A/N Little prologue for you there. Hope it intrigues you! Please review, and like I said, constructive criticism is most welcome!!
