Chapter 1: Life's Tumbles.

Anthony was in his room doing nothing as usual. He had just gotten back from a grueling 9 hr. day at work. He decided just to think about the future as he seemed to do a lot lately. He was waiting to get his diploma from high school which would be next week. He had a part-time job, was graduating, and getting ready to move out and join the military. Life seemed set for him which is why he had a problem. His life used to be just day by day. Making it up as he went along, which meant he had plenty of room for mistakes and that was no problem. Now that everything was planned if he made a mistake his entire future would disappear in a flash of smoke.

'Our decisions are what make or break our souls. So what should I do? Stupid thought number one, run away. Not going to happen. Come on something that will actually help me. Well maybe I could just...'

"Hey Ant!!!" said his ma from downstairs.

"What!!!!" said Anthony as he got thrown out of his thoughts and back into the real world.

"Come down stairs, we're cooking dinner tonight!!!!"

"Okay Ma!!!!"

So he got off his bed and he headed downstairs and went into the kitchen.

"So what are we making?" he asked as he walked in the room.

"Just some fettuccini alfredo with mash potatoes and broccoli."

"Sounds good"

He started off dinner which he ended up doing himself because his ma hated to cook. It's not that she couldn't she just didn't like to. Anthony, who has been cooking since he was three, was a pro and really loved it. His family liked to eat things buffet style so he didn't even set the table.

'I wander what really would happen if I just left and never came back. Would it really be all that bad. Really I'll just live my life day by day and never have to worry about messing up. For if you have no goals there is no failure, but…I couldn't leave my family like that. It would be torture for them just to see me walk out on them. I can't do that I must stay at least for them.'

Later That Night

He's been doing nothing but sitting downstairs by himself watching TV all night and was bored out of his mind so since it was about midnight he decided to go to bed. So Anthony went into his room stripped to his briefs and turned on the TV which was normal for him. He walked over to his bed and like an idiot wasn't paying any attention. He walked into his pair of shoes and slipped and whacked his head into his headboard, and then everything went black.

Harry's POV

Harry was at the Weasley's; everyone had already gone to bed. He just couldn't sleep, there were so many thoughts running through his head it felt unbearable. He was still deciding when to visit his parent's graves and if he should go back to school or not for his seventh and final year. He knows no matter his choices his friends will always be by his side. At first he tried to think of ways to get away so his friends couldn't follow him but he talked himself out of it. He decided he would never find the horcruxes without his friends. He had just gotten his letter from Hogwarts that morning while he, Ron, and Hermione were having breakfast and it really made him think if he really should leave school.

At school I'd have the library to look up anything I would need to know. But while I'm in school I would be hard pressed to find any of the horcroxes, for the fact I wouldn't be allowed to leave. Though I could just pass my appariation test and just leave school grounds when I think I know where to look. But I would still only be able to look on weekends. I would learn a lot more to defeat Voldemort, but then he would know exactly where to find me. What should I do????

Bang!!!!

"Bloody Hell!!!!" yelled his friend Ron from upstairs.

Harry leaped up and grabbed his wand from his pocket and ran upstairs. When he reached the scene everyone upstairs was already there to find a boy about his and Ron's and Hermione's age. He was unconscious and laying on the floor in nothing but his underwear.

"Ron, what happened?" yelled Miss Weasley.

"I don't know. I was laying down about to fall asleep waiting for Harry to get up here when all of a sudden this guy just falls out of no where on top of me." Ron pointed down at his bed to show where he landed and saw some red liquid all over his sheets and himself. "What the…is this blood on me."

"Where?" yelled Hermione who was there because she didn't want Harry to leave her behind when he went on his search for the horcruxes.

"All over me…I think it came from him"

Miss Weasley looked more closely at the boy on the floor and saw he was bleeding from the back of his head.

"Oh Merlin we need a mediwizard here immediately."

"I'll see if I can get Madam Pomfrey to come here" said Ginny as she ran out of the room.

"Use Hedwig she'll get it there faster" Harry yelled at her as she ran away only to see her flip a u-turn to come back and get Hedwig.

"Thanks"

"No problem. Just hurry!" and she ran from the room in a hurry.

"Hmmm"

"Did you guys hear something?" asked Hermione.

"Yeah it sounded like a ghost?" said Harry.

"Hmmm"

"What the bloody hell is that noise"

"Hmmmm"

"It's coming from the boy" yelled Hermione.

She ran forward and listened a little closer.

"Hmmmm"

"It is him. I think he's waking up."

Slowly the boy's eyes started opening. He looked up and saw what he thought to be an angel, and a bright light that engulfed everything else.

"Is this heaven?"

"No you're alive. Who are you? What are you doing here? What happened to you?" Hermione hurriedly asked him.

"My name is…Anthony" and with that he slipped back into unconsciousness.
