Harry Potter is not mine, but I can control what he does in this fanfiction. I will warn you that this is set after the sixth book (Half Blood Prince, for those who didn't know) so there will be some spoilers in this story. The few things that I do own in this fic is the Reins (pronounced Ray-ins) so if I find that they have been stolen then I will not like it. I want to also encourage you to write reviews, not because it is necessary but because I like hearing your opinions and words of advice. So please, don't be a stranger!

Chapter 2

Harry woke to a distinct rumbling of an engine that just didn't belong in the prim neighborhood that the Dursley's resided in. He looked at the clock and saw that it was almost 2 in the afternoon. He scrambled up and looked for his glasses. When he found them he remembered that he had gone all day without them so far. He decided to take a chance and put them on. It was too blurry to see! Harry figured that it was just a part of what had happened over night. He glanced out the window to see a very old and rickety car come up the street to the Dursley's that was occupied by several familiar red heads.

Harry gave a small whoop of joy and, scrambling, looked around to see if he had missed anything. He hadn't so he waited until he heard the front door chime in it's customary way before running down the steps to open the door. As soon as he opened the door a girl was in his arms that had grown a little since he had last seen her.

“Hello Ginny,” Harry said into her hair. He set her feet onto the floor and stepped back to allow the Weasley's into the house. Harry heard the heavy tread of his uncle and groaned softly, hoping that he wouldn't have any reason to argue with Mr. Weasley. Mr. Weasley however gave a small and quiet greeting, somewhat surprising Harry. He even introduced Ron and Ginny politely. Uncle Vernon also was polite and seemed to be a bit nervous of Ron who was looking if even more possible like the twins in the gangly quality of his limbs and many freckles. He had even grown more over the summer. Harry beckoned Ron and Ginny up to his room to help with his belongings; many would just stay with the Weasley's during his `small' adventure. They quickly gathered his things and heavily walked down the steps and out the door that was being held by Harry's uncle. The trio took the luggage to the car and put it into the trunk.

Harry, suddenly remembering something that he needed that was still in his room told the Weasley's to wait a moment for him to get the item. He went by his uncle again and walked up the steps and into his room. He got down on the floor and groped at the floor until he found the loose floorboard and opened it and gathered the invisibility cloak, The Marauder's Map, as well as a photo album containing pictures of his parents and Sirius. He walked back down the stairs and saw the Dursley's all looking at him in some state of nervousness or anxiety or happiness that he would finally be out of their hair once and for all.

“Goodbye Uncle Vernon, Aunt Petunia, Dudley,” he said as politely as he could before he left the house without a final glance back at what had been his life for so long. He didn't even look at it as they all drove off. He knew that it would be a long ride considering all the glances that he was getting from Ginny and Ron so he just slouched in his seat and drifted off to sleep again. Harry was dreaming of a very beautiful place that seemed much like a lagoon, except in a forest filled with ivy vines and deciduous trees. He heard a soft voice calling out to him, calling his name. Just as he was turning towards the voice he was shaken awake by an enthusiastic Ron who was yelling at him to wake up. Harry looked up and blinked wearily at his friend.

“Ok Ron, I am awake. Now what has you in such a commotion? Are we there already?” Harry asked. He blinked as Ron stared at him strangely.

“No we aren't there yet. You were moaning and it sounded like you were in pain there Harry. Did you have another nightmare?”

“No, and I didn't have a nightmare. In fact I had a very pleasant dream that I have been having for a while and I quite like it. In fact I would give up many things to hear that voice in real life.”

“Ok Harry, what voice?”

“The voice, Ron, is of this woman in my dreams, in a place that is like a paradise with lush vegetation and a lot of water. Every time I dream of this woman I wake up just as I am turning to her to look at her. I swear that her voice is so smooth and beautiful Ron!”

“Yes, sure Harry. Now you are freaking me out and I think that what you are hearing is something irrelevant and is not something you need to dwell on at this point.”

“Ron, in the six years of knowing you, I have never heard such intelligent babble from you. I am guessing that Hermione is rubbing off on you finally. Now where are we going exactly?”

“The safe house Harry! It is where all of the Order and their families are living! Honestly Harry, have you never heard of the Rexford Housing Institution for the Mentally Unstable Witch or Wizard?” At Harry's negative response Ron sighed. “It is a safe house that was set up during the last war by Dumbledore and many witches and wizards were put in there and they pretended to be downright lunatics that not even the caretakers at St. Mungo's could cure them so they were just left here for the purpose of creating this house. That building is where we are staying for the duration of the summer `till it is time for us to leave to search for the horcruxes. There is also a large library there so that we can also study and learn some more about where we think that we should look and what we should do.”

“Alright now that I know where we are going care to tell me where we are Ron?”

“Some sort of muggle gas station three hours from Surrey that we had to stop off at since Ginny needed to use the restroom and because the car needed some more gas. We still have a bit to go before night fall but it should all be alright.”

Ron and Harry had run into the gas station and used the restroom as well since there would be no stopping until the car needed gas again. After the boys returned and had gotten into the car they set off again and they watched as the scenery rolled by and the sun started to dip into the horizon. Soon even the sun was gone and they kept driving, stopping for the occasional fill up and of course grabbing a bite to eat at dinner time. Harry had dozed on and off again during the drive, his dreams continually plagued by the voice of a woman that for some strange reason sounded so familiar.

Soon my love, you will find out soon.
