"'Mione, why are we here?" Ron asked me again. We had gone to a muggle theater to see Cats. I thought we both needed some entertaining since today was the today H-Harry went missing. He went missing halfway through fourth year. It's been six years since then. He would be twenty now.
"Because Ron, you need educating in culture. Plus, we both need something to our minds off of what happened today." Ron nodded as the lights went down.

Hermione dragged me off to the London Theater to see some musical about cats. It sounded really boring, but I went to get my mind off of today. We watched the show through the theater binoculars 'Mione brought. (A/n: you know, those ones that are small that you use in the theaters? I'm not sure if they still use them In London, I'm from Ohio, so…) One of the guys dressed as a black and white cat, he was rather small, caught my eye through the binoculars. He had bright green eyes just like Harry.
Could it be? I thought. NO! It's not him. He was probably killed by a rogue death eater or something. And if he was alive he wasn't going to be an ACTOR. That's not a manly thing to do. He's probably something cool, like a sports player or something in the muggle world. Where he could hide. Yea, that's it.
I watched the rest of the first act and was pleasantly surprised, it didn't suck. But in the back of my mind, there was a whisper in my mind. It's Harry…
After Old Deuteronomy was captured the Rum Tum Tugger said they needed to ask Magical Mister Mistoffelees. He started singing about him. As he did the guy with the bright green eyes, Mr. Mistoffelees I guess, came down on a rope in a REALLY glittery and lit up costume. He made the rope disappear. Hermione's eyes widened.
"Ron, that's not a muggle illusion. They can't do that so fast." I looked at the guy. He said presto and quickly glowed gold while all the stage lights lit up.
"I'm guessing muggles can't make him glow like that either?" She shook her head no. This dude was weird. Gasps filled the crowd as he shot lightning bolts out of his hand, err, paw.
"This is not something a muggle can do!" Hermione whispered to me. He levitated a giant cup to him and made sparkling ribbon come out of it in large amounts. Then he made the old guy re-appear. "That's a muggle trick." She stated quietly. But then he did something no muggle can do. He disapperated, kind of. He jumped up in a split in the air and disappeared with a crack and a flash of lights. The crowd gasped. Hermione turned to me.
"Ron, we're talking to this guy at the end of the show."
After the show, the stars would come out still in costume, but without the makeup or wigs. Don't ask me why, they just do. We looked around for the guy, Evan Jameson, so the playbill said who played Mistoffelees. When we found him, his back was turned to us signing an autograph for a young girl. When he turned to us what we saw made me gasp and made Hermione faint. The man paled.
"Ron?" I nodded and stuttered out
"H-Harry?" He shushed me.
"I go by Evan. Come back in thirty minutes; I'll tell the guards to let you in. Please call me Evan around the cast, please? I have to go." With that he ran off to sign more autographs.

"I'm going to kill him! He's been alive the whole time and didn't contact us at all! I thought he was dead, that a death eater killed him! I swear when I get my hands on him I'm going to-"
"Kill me, resurrect me, then kill me, bring me back again, slap me senseless, then hug me?" Harry stated from the doorway nervously. I didn't hear him come in. It was creepy not hearing him come in, he was always heavy footed.
"Actually I was planning on slapping and hugging you first!" She said rushing up to him and hugging him tightly. He stiffened, and then hugged back awkwardly. She let go then slapped him, hard.
"I deserved that." Then I went up and hit him in the jaw. "I deserved that too." I then man hugged him.
"Missed you mate." I whispered in his ear. We let go. "Harry? Where did you go when you left?" I asked the once shy boy. He smiled.
"Sirius and I escaped to America." That made sense; I noticed his voice sounded different. It had a slight American accent in it.
"Why did you leave?" Hermione asked quietly. Harry sighed.
HPOV (Harry)
After the awkward hellos were done the questions started. I knew eventually they would find me and try to drag me back to the wizarding world. Keyword, try. I wasn't ever going back there. I loved my life too much now.
"Why did you leave?" Hermione asked me. I sighed and pinched the bridge of my nose.
"Because, I was tired of it; I didn't want to be a pawn in Dumbledork's twisted game of live chess. Sirius and I discussed it and one day using the floo system. So, during that Hogsmeade visit when I didn't come back I had gone to the shrieking shack and met Sirius there. We disguised ourselves and went to Gringotts, they know Sirius is innocent, and we transferred half of his total money to America, and most of mine. I knew I never wanted to come back here. We flooed to one of Sirius' relatives homes in America. We became American citizens. I went to a muggle school, and became interested in the arts. I signed up for Ballet- don't laugh Ron it's fun and a great way to get girls. - And fell in love with dancing, singing, and acting. I went college, or university, majoring in dancing and acting. When I graduated Sirius and I went our own ways, last I heard he was living on the beach in Mexico (NCIS REFERENCE!) with his girlfriend of four years now. I auditioned for Fiyero in wicked and got that. I traveled with them for a year, then started this. I'm only going to be here two weeks with the American troop. And that's what I did over summer break. You?" There was silence for a few minutes before Ron started laughing. "May I ask what's so funny?"
"Mate, you like someone who let their younger sister have a go at their Halloween costume." I looked down. I was still in my costume. The glittery light-up one. We all started laughing, but was soon interrupted by Anna walking in, still in her Rumpleteazer costume. She came up and kissed me. When we pulled apart Ron and Hermione were still staring at us, shell-shocked. Hermione coughed.
"H-Evan, care to introduce us to your friend?" Anna bounced over to Hermione and stuck out her hand.
"Hiya! I'm Anna Totin, Evan's fiancée! You must be those friends that Evan always talks about that went to school in Scotland with him, I can tell because you look just like older versions of what he described. Except, Evan, her hair is frizzy!" I blushed and looked down. "Oh well! Any way's, Daniel wants us to practice Alpha Delta again. He said it was kinda sloppy today. Afterwards all four of us could go out to Starbucks or something I want to get to know your friends. Daniel says out in fifteen, warmed up. Love ya!" she pecked me on the lips and skipped out. I smiled that goofy smile I always get around Anna.
"Love you too!" I called after her. I heard her giggle from down the hall. I turned to Ron and Hermione. "She sure is something, a'int she?"
"She sure is a talker isn't she?" Hermione asked. I nodded, the smile still on my face. Ron looked at me.
"Dude, you're whipped. Bad." I nodded.
"I gotta go change into my other costume, this one is itchy as crap. I really don't want to do this, but where do you guys want to meet up later? Anywhere but Hogwarts." Ron nodded. Hermione piped up.
"How about the Leaky Cauldron? Since Tom passed away Ginny has started running it. Maybe she would like to see you again?" I nodded, it sounded good.
"sounds perfect. Can I bring Anna along? Her sister is a muggle-born. She knows all about magic." I said.
"Sevenish?"
"Perfect."
