WARNINGS: This will be slash, and if you know my stories, you know between whom. Slash means male on male action and relationships. Other warnings include gay bashing (not my own opinion, I assure you), swearing, and slight child abuse.

DISCLAIMER: Harry Potter and Co do not belong to me, they belong to J.K. Rowling. The plot does, in fact, belong to me, though. Songs throughout the story belong to various artists, and I will inform you when we get there. The song is called Seventeen by The Sex Pistols.

A/N: This is totally re-written. I am so sorry for the very long wait for everything. If you read WRONG TURN, then you would see that I have been very sick, in the hospital, lately. Truly, I am sorry, and I will never not update if I can help it. Thank you to my friend and Beta, Blackraven13! I don't know what I would do without you!

Chapter one: A New Place

New School.

New Town.

New Country.

New Life.

The question is: would Harry Potter turn his around?

You're only twenty nine
Gotta lot to learn,
But when your mummy dies
She will not return

The Sex Pistols were all Harry could hear as the car moved along the barren dirt road. When he was in his world of music, nothing was troubled, nothing could ever go wrong. As soon as Harry took the headphones off of his ears, the hell of the real world came flying back stronger than a bag of bricks.

We like noise it's our choice

It's what we do

We don't care about long hair

I don't wear flares

Some people didn't understand Harry Potter's love for music, but they also didn't understand the need for a place to go to. A place to be alone when you are not able to physically find one…when you can't find one.

Life for Harry was not all peaches and cream, but he wasn't one to complain. His guardians didn't give him any money, only fed him and kept a roof over his head, but he worked his ass off to get the money to do things he wanted to do, and get things he wanted for himself.

Besides the money his parents left him, his old job had paid him well. Some people that knew about his life said he was lucky, that they wish they had a shitty life too, so that they could have some of the things Harry had. What they didn't know what that Harry would give anything to have what those people had - A family to go home to, someone to love him.

Harry would love to not have to work everyday of his life to get things just to keep him occupied, to keep him from going insane. He had an MP3 player and a laptop. He worked for about two years without buying anything to purchase these items.

Harry had a few piercings here and there, and two tattoos. Sure, those cost money, but working that hard…why didn't he deserve something? Back in Surry (his old home) he had barley had a social life. Most of time, being an insomniac, he would go out all night and come back before the sun rose, before his Uncle woke up. Being caught out having fun would not end pleasantly.

The clothes Harry liked to wear cost quite a bit, but he save for those too, and barley bought new ones. His high top black converse were already more than four years old. The studded belt he always wore was over five years old, and some of the studs had already fallen out, the leather wearing far too thin. And many of the pairs of pants he owned were so worn that the once pitch black had faded to a duller black. Hell, some of them were now gray.

How's that for having a perfect life?

See my face not a trace

No reality

I don't work I just speed

That's all I need

Harry looked up at the front of the car where his Uncle was driving, saw his lips moving, and saw how he was smiling at his son, Dudley. Harry missed a smile like that being directed towards him. Hasn't had one in about three years. First his parents were…no…he couldn't say it. Then they died. Everything was meant to happen for a reason…only problem was, Harry didn't understand why these things did.

I'm a lazy sod...
that's what we say you're
I'm a lazy sod...
I'm so lazy
I can't even be bothered
Lazy Lazy

TBC…

A/N: Well, that's the first chapter. A lot different than the original, but I liked it. I wanted to start it a little different. Yes, the song really had nothing to do with the chapter, but it's just something Harry was listening to. Please tell me what you think and give suggestions, thank you.
