Prologue

He walked down the street at a brisk pace, keeping his head down but his ears open to the sounds around him. The warm summer night seemed unusually dark with only the dingy street lamps to light his path, and the streets and alley ways that were normally packed with hookers, drug dealers and the homeless, now seemed quite empty. Something wasn't sitting well with him; he could feel it in the pit of his stomach. He quickened his already hurried stride and kept himself thinking that he was only a couple blocks away from home. Time seemed to pass slowly when in reality it took him only a mere five minutes to reach his house, unlock the door and step inside silently. The boy sighed in relief as he closed the front door, checking one last time that nobody had followed him and locked it. Although he hated the late hours he needed the job, and his mother needed the help financially so he did what he had to do to pitch in. His mother would already be asleep so he didn't bother announcing himself as he put his house keys in the dish on the little table by the door and turned to hang up his summer jacket. Needless to say, he was quite startled when he heard the floorboard creak behind him. He tensed for a brief second before rationalizing with himself that it was most likely his mother that had woke up from the front door opening. Having yet to turn around and still anxious from his walk home, he let out a shaky laugh.

"Jeez mom," the boy said. "You almost scared the living daylights out of me! I just got home, obviously. How was your day?"

"I'm afraid, Mister Kaleb O'Neil that your mother is not in any position to tell you how her day was…."

A/N: Hehe, I know I'm evil hey? Cliffhanger on the first chapter*laughs devilishly to self as she dodges flying food* Kind of surprised myself, I didn't know it was going to end up as a cliffy….I hate cliff hangers. Well, unless I'm writing them. XD But do not fret for too long…I'll upload the next chapter ASAP….which means I want some reviews!!! Pretty please?? With sugar and melted chocolate on top…mmmm…. =D Actually some ideas would be lovely since this is the first fan fic I've wrote in a couple years. Since….May 27, 2007 to be exact, I know boring info you don't really need to know. Gotcha. Really though, I don't want this to be your same old there's a new guy, someone falls in love (most likely harry) guy gets kidnapped, Harry saves him, they both kill Moldy Voldy and then Viola! Happy ending…..I'm getting a little bored with that, as I'm sure many other readers are as well…wow this is a long spiel…So any CONSTRUCTIVE criticism would be appreciated and if ANYONE has any ideas I'd love to hear them. And I love reviews, they make me do happy dances and they are also a great cause for motivation, cuz I'm not gonna write if people aren't reading this…well maybe I will I dunno, we'll see lol. So it's been a while, this might take some time, but I'm really hoping that I'll get some support and motivation cuz I'm sick of being stuck in writers block…cuz seriously? Who gets writers block for more than two years? Me apparently… Enough randomness from me, click the review button!!

P.S: The next A/N won't be as long, promise .
