I: "Let's Get Out Of This Country!"
Harry collapsed to his knees, the moment Voldemort disintegrated into ash. Harry pitched forwards, as a wave of tiredness and relief flooded through his body. Then his eyes prickled and throbbed and slowly tears began to pour down his face as the realisation of what had happened dawned on him. He had won. He had completed the prophecy, the prophecy that had confound him to almost hell on earth.
His time at the Dursley's wasn't the best. He knew that and they knew that, everyone knew. But what the world didn't know was that Petunia Dursley had encouraged Harry to find something that made him happy. Dudley had sport and Harry had music. It was because of this his Aunt and Uncle fought briefly but his Uncle agreed reluctantly. His Uncle had moved Harry into the Attic after having it converted into a bedroom. The spare room had been turned into a music from Harry. Harry then had earnt the money doing chores to get his hands on an acoustic guitar and then he went to Hogwarts.
"Harry, Are you okay?" Harry didn't acknowledge the call at first. But he slowly stood up. What a sight he made caked in blood, dirt, grime, sweat and dust. He turned around to see a similarly splattered Hermione. Hermione's eyes widened "Are you okay? I've never seen you cry before. Not even Sirius died…" She trailed off at the smile.
"Yeah, 'Mione. I'm and dare I say it feeling good." Harry said as he finally got everything he had been feeling since he was eleven off his chest. Hermione had thankfully placed a silencing charm around the pair of them the moment Harry began to break down. Harry managed to pull himself together as he looked at Hermione "Do you have a plan, Harry?" She asked and grin appeared on her best friends face "I'm planning to get out of the country. Returning? Depends. The only question I have is do you want to come?"
Hermione smiled "Me, You and Ron?" Harry snorted "I'm not going to another part of the magical world…Not at all." Hermione giggled "Yes…Now how are we going to sell this to the Weasley's?"
Harry smirked "Simple. I'll say I need to see Andromeda Tonks, tell what I'm planning and if she wants to come. Meet me in Diagon Alley, I'll get Gringotts off our backs and onto the Wizarding World itself. Wizarding World can deal with the Goblin Fallout. You say you're heading to Australia." Hermione nodded "Ginny will want to come with." Harry pulled out a vial from his robes. It read 'Attraction Potion. Property of Ginny Weasley.' "Ginny accidently left this on her dresser at the Burrow when I popped in her room to find you the morning of the wedding. I put in my pocket for it to be washed. I shoved the jeans with the vial into the bag. I suspect she's been drugging me for at least a year."
Hermione's eyes flashed "You haven't done anything have you?" Harry snorted sounding suspiciously like a canine of some sort "Hermione, I can resist the Imperious Curse. Potions like this rely on already existing attraction. Ginny IS attractive but I only see her as a little sister now. That year on the run got me back to normal and we need to finish this conversation as here's Ron."
The lanky red head was patiently waiting for them to finish their conversation. Ron, over the course of being Harry's good friend. No, Harry would say he was his best friend but a best friend wouldn't speak to the other for nearly two months because of a potentially DEATHLY tournament. Nor would a best friend storm off in a tantrum because they had seemingly run out of options. "Not trying to steal Hermione are you Harry? Not that Hermione is anyone's property." He finished seeing the tell-tale signs of Hermione being annoyed at him.
Harry shook his head "Just explaining my plan to Hermione, which I may include you in if you truly are ignorant of this." Ron caught the vial out of the air, looked at it and turned pale "Merlin's balls, Harry. I knew she had them but I didn't know she was using them on you…They didn't work did they?"
Harry smirked "I threw OFF VOLDEMORT'S imperious curse and Crouch Junior's. You tell me. Anyway it's simple. I'm running away, Hermione is semi-running away with me…" Harry went to say more but Ron held his hands up "I can make something up…It was good knowing you Harry. All the best Hermione, hopefully I'll see you soon but if not…" Ron couldn't finish but no words needed to be said. Harry hugged Ron, Hermione kissed him fully on the lips and they had a fast and murmured exchange and soon enough Harry and Hermione were melding with the arriving family members and vanished through the gates and apparated away.
Harry and Hermione dealt with the Goblins easily enough. Feeling lucky, Harry transferred enough of his trust vault and the Potter family vault into dollars. Not enough to bankrupt the Wizarding World but enough for an impact to be felt. He also paid the Goblins a reasonable fee for emancipation papers, drivers licence, birth certificate to say he was sixteen and various other papers and did the same for Hermione but minus the Birth Certificate.
They left the bank, nodded to each other and disapparated with a 'pop' as a series of 'cracks' reverberated around the street as the Weasley's appeared in the Alley in hot pursuit and with them were aurors under the command of the Interim Minister Kingsley Shacklebolt. Harry reappeared in the Tonk's back garden. "Harry! Is that you?" Harry nodded and holstered both the Elder Wand and his Holly Wand. The Elder Wand had reappeared in his pocket twenty minutes of him snapping it. "It is Andy, Tonks and Remus are dead. What about you, Teddy and Ted?"
Andy opened the door "Ted got killed. A group of Snatchers." Harry's eyes widened "I'm so…" Andy snorted "Don't say sorry. We knew what we were getting into. He took the group with him. Is it done?" Harry nodded and he shut the door behind them.
"It's over. I'm getting out of the country. Not sure where but I have the documents necessary. I was going to ask if you both wanted to come?" Andromeda nodded "The Blacks have a farm in Lima Ohio, my relative Dorea Potter nee Black- your grandmother has a house in Lima Ohio..." Her eyes turned hardened making Harry think of the late Bellatrix Lestrange as she pulled out a rather thick wad of parchment and paper "...Unless you fancy a rather expensive custodial battle over my grandson/ your godson." Harry held his hands up "I don't know Remus and Tonk's Will...All I was told was to look out for him. I have no right to take him from blood kin...I want to be in his life but I can't stand Britain right now."
Andromeda nodded and summoned her bag and picked up her Grandson as Harry shrunk the crib with a flick of the elder wand. A trick he had developed on the run was the basics of wandless fire magic. So when Hermione apparated into the front room by following Harry's trail she found herself looking at a ball of fire and two glowing wands. "The Weasley's have found you. Are we still going to Australia? If so we need to go now."
Andromeda looked at Harry "You two go to America and meet me in Ohio should you both come." Andromeda vanished with a crack, Hermione and Harry followed shortly afterwards with two bangs again as a myriad of pops reverberated revealing Assorted Weasley's and reporters. Andromeda had dropped the wards the moment she had heard that Voldemort may have been defeated.
Harry and Hermione arrived at Heathrow aiport and soon landed in Australia. Finding Hermione's parents was relatively easy, unknown to Wizarding Britain...Maybe they knew but chose not to tell anyone but the rest of the world kept tracks on all Witches and Wizards leaving the UK for any reason.
Harry and Hermione got through with no questions and practically delivered to the Granger's house. Sitting on the porch in two beautiful chairs were Hermione's parents, Daniel 'Dan' Granger and Martha Granger and in Dan's arms was another baby. "Hermione, Harry...I suppose you two have an explanation?" Asked Dan quietly as the Wizarding presence left as swiftly as they had arrived.
Harry looked at Hermione and then at her parents "Mr. Granger, Mrs. Granger, I don't know what Hermione did but I can only guess that it was to protect you from backlash of being associated with me." Dan's eyes widened.
"She removed our memories of her." Harry's jaw dropped "Can we discuss this inside. I don't think this is a conversation for being outside. Bunking a train or being a rebellious teenager fine but this...not so much."
Dan and Martha looked at their daughter and her friend and nodded "Sorry, please come in. We have a lot to catch up on."
The house was a cosy four bedroom completely detached house. It was four in the afternoon and Dan handed Harry a beer in the kitchen as Hermione and Martha were talking in the front room. "Hermione told us that you were going through a rough patch. I can see it in your eyes Harry that you've done things you aren't proud of."
Harry snorted and opened the beer "Murdere people. Too many." Dan stopped mid-swig "Were they trying to kill you? Take you hostage to the guy that killed your parents?" Harry nodded "Then its killing. You're wracked with guilt about taking their lives even though they would not have hesitated to kill you, my daughter or your friends lives if they had the chance." Harry nodded.
"You're the same as me. I served in the British Military when I turned eighteen and I did twenty years service. I was in Ireland for the Troubles, Russia during the Cold War, Falklands and Iraq. I didn't like the killing but the fact my actions brought friends home helps me sleep at night...Enough of this. I want to understand why my daughter did what she did and both your plans."
Harry nodded and collapsed almost bonelessly into the sofa and he turned pale, grey and then wished he could dissapear as Hermione explained her reasons "Hermione, let me be clear...I said 'It would be a good idea for you to tell your parents what is going on and suggest that they get out of the country for a while and wait to hear from you'. Not 'do something so utterly stupid and erase yourself from their lives.'.." Harry's head fell into his hands.
What surprised Martha and Dan was Hermione's reaction to Harry breaking down on her "Why sacrifice your family's happiness to save me...If I'd had any idea I would have told them everything. Even the faint chance that the three of us would never be coming home."
Dan and Martha nodded "What are you going to do now? We can't uproot and leave again." Harry grinned and turned to Hermione "You can stay or you can come with me." Hermione grinned at him.
"I'm staying, Harry...I can't. Not again." Harry nodded tears in his eyes as he hugged her. "I understand. It's been a fun road whilst it lasted." He whispered before giving in to his compulsions and kissed her deeply. Hermione reluctantly broke it "Why? How long?"
Harry grinned "Wanted to. Can't kiss Ron like that. Too see your face and make one desperate attempt for you to come with me..." He saw her face "...I know you Hermione. I know you probably better than you know yourself and vice versa." He turned around and shook Dan's hand "Mr. Granger, it was an honour to actually meet you at long last. Same to you Mrs. Granger." He said shaking her hand and kissing her on the cheek.
Then the baby wailed "Come on now little Granger...I'm not taking you away. Look out for..." Harry trailed "Him. Matthew Hadrian Granger. We figured it would be good to name him after Hermione's friend." Harry grinned and hugged Hermione one last time.
"I guess this is goodbye." With that he left the front door and opened the gate as Hermione yelled "Goodbye's aren't forever Harry. Merely mean I'll miss you until we talk again and believe me, we will."
Harry grinned widely and tears began to fall as he spun on his heel and left with a bang.
