Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter because if I did I Sirius would not have been killed by drapery (I wouldn't have killed him at all). I also do not own anything that you happen to recognize. In fact the only things I own are Ada Marcoli and the basic plot. How sad life is.

Repeat: I have warned you so don't get pissy with me if you're too stupid to find something else to read.

Promise Keeper

Chapter One

'Dear Ada Marcoli,

Hello. My name is Harry Potter, I'm in third grade, and I'm from Britain. Our teacher told us that we should have a pen pal and she told me to write this to you. I really hope we can be friends! I don't have any of my own. My cousin bullies them all to keep away from me. He's very mean and hurts me but no one believes me. I hope you do. Please write back to me. I really need a friend. I promise I'll do anything you want and I'll listen to anything you say! Please!

Hopefully Your Friend,

Harry Potter'

'Dear Harry,

Hey! I'm in third grade too and I'm from America. Your cousin doesn't sound very nice! Then again I'm not all that nice either. Of course I'll be your friend. We can be best friends and I promise I'll listen to anything you wish to tell me and be there for you in spirit and maybe someday in person. I hope we meet someday. I think we'll be great friends if you share my love of anything horror. Let's promise to never lie to each other and tell each other everything we feel about anything. I could use someone to talk to. Everyone is too scared or weirded out to talk to me. I'm not sure why. A few weird things happen around me from time to time but that's no reason to be scared. Bunch of idiots! They're why I started being mean in the first place! I bet you wouldn't be scared! I would protect you. Even if I'm a girl I'm strong and I would keep you safe. I'll turn you into a horror fanatic like me too. Mail again soon okay?

Your Dear Friend,

Ada Marcoli'

'Dear Ada,

I'm so glad you'll be my best friend! I hope we get to meet someday too! I guess I could try and enjoy horror things; I've never seen a horror movie or read a horror book. I promise I'll always be honest and share my feelings with you. I wouldn't be scared of you. You seem nice to me! I'm a boy but I'm not strong and the other kids are much bigger than me, it's scary sometimes especially when they chase me and beat me up. I bet if you were here you would beat them up for hurting me! I wish you were. They're mean! Weird stuff happens around me a lot too. I wonder why. Uncle says its cause I'm a freak. It makes me feel bad and want to cry when he does. My aunt and uncle are always mean to me but they never hit me. I think they're afraid to touch me cause when they do they pull away really fast and act like I'm diseased. It hurts. I wish somebody loved me. I feel so alone. I don't feel as lonely when you write to me though so that's good! Please mail again soon okay Ara?

Your Best Friend,

Harry'

'Dear Harry,

I hope that they never hit you. What happened to your parents? My parents are…I don't know how to describe them cause they're never here. I don't see them a lot. I hope you eat everyday and that you drink a lot of water everyday because if you don't you get sick and puke. I know. It hurts too so drink lots. Make sure you take care of yourself okay? Mail to me again soon okay? I love zombies the best, sometimes their called infected. I'm sending a horror novel to you. I'll come up with a nickname for you after you tell me how you feel about the book and what your favorite part is! You know I'll love you if you want! Hide it so your relatives don't take it away.

Your Best Friend,

Ada'

'Ada,

Happy Tenth Birthday! It's so cool that our birthdays are only a month apart! Sorry I couldn't buy you a gift again, but I know you love my drawings so I'm sending one with this letter. I hope you like it! It's a drawing of a weeping willow because I know you love those! Next month I'll be ten too! I can't wait! Ten's my favorite number! I just know it'll be a good year! Especially since I have you to talk to. I've felt much happier after talking to you for the past two years. When we grow up we should work together and make some comic books together! You can write the stories for them and I'll draw the pictures! We can write books together too because books have pictures too. I'm glad we're best friends. I came up with a name for you! You can be Virus since the zombies in 'The Umbrella Conspiracy' were infected with the T-virus! Write again soon and send more horror please!

Love,

Panic'

'Panic,

Thanks for the picture! I love it! I found this new manga called 'Descendants of Darkness: Yami no Matsuei' and I just know you'll love it! I think you can relate to poor Hisoka, even though a few of the things that happened to him never happened to you. It's so romantic too! I hope Tsuzuki and Hisoka get together soon! There's lots of blood too! Mwahahahaha! You'll love it. I'm also sending 'Silent Hill'. You'll have to wait for your birthday for the next chapter of my book though. Don't pout cause I know you are Panic! I love you so take care of yourself and be careful. Mail soon Panic!

Love,

Virus'

'Virus!

I'm a wizard! Can you believe it? There was this man called Rubius Hagrid and he came and took me from the Dursley's! You remember the crazy letters I told you they were freaking out about? Hagrid was the one sending them! It's amazing! Diagon Alley was amazing! I can't wait to see Hogwarts! I hope I can make friends there! Of course you'll always be my most precious friend and I'll always love you more than any of my other friends. I wish you could come with me! I bet you're magic too! I hope you are! The snowy owl I sent with my letter is called Hedwig. Isn't she beautiful? I'm so excited I can't even sleep! Hagrid gave Dudley a pigtail! How awesome is that? As soon as I was out of earshot I laughed so hard I'm surprised I didn't burst an organ! Of course there is a down side to all of this…there had to be right? I mean it's one of those too good to be true deals. I'm famous in the wizarding world. It's horrible! You know how nervous I get in crowds! They just swarm! Their like flies on crap! Now I'll never know who's my friend because they want to be famous or who's my friend because they really like who I am! What should I do? This is going to be heartbreaking and horrible I just know it. Great! Now I've gone and depressed myself. Anyway, I drew a picture of you from the photo you sent me! I think it turned out great. I hope you liked the school picture at least because the Dursley's as usual were mean, called me ugly, and threw it out. I really don't like them. At least I have you though. Please mail soon Weepy!

Love,

Sunshine'

'Panic,

I told you to stop calling me Weepy Harry! I'm not weepy in any way and don't play that 'It's short for Weeping Willow' card with me cause I'm not stupid. I love you anyway though. I have to tell you before I forget and have to send two letters again! I'm a witch! I'm going to Salem Academy soon! You're famous? Wow, that sucks for you! Hedwig is very beautiful. I'd never seen an owl before! Well, except for the one that delivered my letter but I didn't get a good look at the stupid barn owl before it took off with my bacon. Next time that horrid bird comes I'm killing it! Take MY bacon will it?! I think not! Maybe the other birds will think twice before taking what's not theirs! I hate animals. I can't believe I HAVE to have a pet. I think I'll get a frog cause it'll gross everyone out and I can just forget about it after feeding it every now and then, all the other ones you have to pay attention to. Honestly I don't understand why having a pet is important. Mirror View Alley was cool too. I know a way you can disguise yourself! What you need to do is dye your hair a cinnamon, brown wear blue contacts, and put make-up over your scar add a little blush and no one will know it's you! You'd be surprised how different you'll look with just a few changes. I love your green eyes though. They are gorgeous you know that? You could be a model! I need to go but mail to me soon! I'm sending the last issue of Descendents and another horror novel. When we finally meet I have something secret and very cool I need to show you. I love you my friend!

Love,

Virus'

'Virus!

I feel used! I'll bet that old man knew what was going on the whole time! You remember my letters about the mystery going on here and the Sorcerer's Stone? Well, we just went down into the pit and nearly got killed rescuing the stone! Those tasks to get to the stone were far too easy to be real protection! There's no way that Dumbledore didn't know what was going on! I'll bet he set up the whole thing! He's not a good person! No matter how much he pretends to be! I feel used and stupid. It's not fair! I wish you were here to hold me and protect me from all of them. I don't think coming here was a good idea at all. This is bad. How much worse do you think it'll get? Please mail to me Virus. I need you to talk to me.

Love,

Panic'

'Panic,

Listen my sweet angel, there is no law that says you have to stay there. You can go to any magical school you want! There is no reason you need to stay there! I'll support you no matter what you decide so think very carefully about what it is you truly want. You have a better chance of finding more information about your parents there but you have a better chance of learning more or just living longer in a different school too. If you feel like he's using you, manipulate him right back! If you chose to stay make him think that you're playing into his hands, glean information and fight back! Fight the power! I'll find a way to come to you. I've been working hard on a way to transfer to Hogwarts and be with you. I'm getting closer everyday. My parents are too wrapped up in work so I could move over there and they'd never notice. I'll be with you soon Love! Mail me!

Love,

Virus'

'Virus,

I can't believe I decided to stay! What the hell was going through my mind? I swear I have bouts of insanity! It happened again! Granted I'm the only one that can speak parseltongue like I said before but Dumbledore could have done something before it got so bad! That smug son of a bitch knew what was going on! I just know it! Wow, I'm becoming as bitter and angry as you. I feel guilty now! That horrible old man is at fault! He's evil I just know it! He thinks I'm stupid just wait until I expose his dumb ass! This whole "Chamber of Secrets" thing was stupid and horrid and he nearly killed Hermione and Ginny! I was kind of hoping Lockheart would have a deadly accident but having his entire memory wiped works too. Maybe I should do that to Voldemort, I mean he can't be much trouble if he's a drooling monkey that doesn't know who he is. I'll just do that next time I come across him, I'm bound to with the way Bumble More is doing things. I wish your infected would eat him! Or the fiend would tear him apart! Mwahahahaha! I'll just stay and wait for you to come. I love you so mail me!

Love,

Panic'

'Panic,

Just be glad vacations started again. Sure it may be horrible with them and they may not feed you properly but at least there no one is trying to kill you right? Just relax at the park and sketch for a bit. I know how much you love that. Draw pictures of what you'd look like goth! I bet you'd be adorable! You look like such an innocent cherub! It would be so awesome! I bet you'd look great with long hair! Not that the 'just got out of bed' look doesn't work for you. I think it looks very good on you but you would look fantastic with long hair. And I bet it would annoy Mrs. Weasley! She seems like the type that would flip. If things continue as planned I should be there for fourth year. I'll meet up with you and we'll buy you a whole new wardrobe that you could keep at my place and change into. Get a hat to hide your growing hair too if you choose to grow it. I actually cut my hair pretty short. It's chin length and uneven and looks messy with fluorescent orange tips. You know how much I love orange. Yes I know it's a strange color to love but it actually looks good with my black hair. You'd probably look good with an emerald green to match your eyes! You look so adorable in my mind! I can't wait to dress you up when I get there! Write soon Love!

Love,

Virus

P.S. I would send Infected after his dumb ass if I could.'

'Virus,

You really think I should grow my hair out? I wonder if there's a spell or potion for that. I'll look for hair spells and work on that. It actually sounds cool! I'm defiantly getting a hat, maybe a beanie. That would work. Or maybe a top hat! (laugh) I love the Fullmetal Alchemist books you sent me by the way! Poor Ed and Al! I think I love Ed. (sigh) He's so smart, brave, and strong. I think you may have turned me gay you know. It's all you and Descendents of Darkness's fault. You knew I was a sucker for romance and you sent that to me. It was worth it though. I just hope no one else finds out. Even more I hope they don't find out I'm leaving the wizarding world after school to become a comic book artist. Can you imagine the mess that would cause? It's a horrible picture, hahaha. I'll just slip away with you into the night… That sounds melodramatic even on my end! Let us hope those idiots never figure it out. Even if they did they couldn't do anything about it other than hound me everyday until I disappear with you. Aunt Marge is coming soon so I'll really need you to mail me to keep me sane. Love you!

Love,

Panic'

'Panic,

Don't be ridiculous you were born gay. Haven't you heard? It's genetic. You were doomed to be gay from the moment of conception. That top hat better have been a joke too you flamboyant imp. You would not look that great in a top hat. Try and find a cure for your eyesight too, or at least transfigure your glasses. Your eyes are too beautiful to hide behind those nerdy coke-bottles. You would look cute with Ed you know. You'd look better with Roy though. I think he'd be more your type, tall, dark, and handsome. Besides he's totally flaming. (laugh) Yes that was a joke and you can laugh at that. I know you already did. I've already got tons of ideas for our first comic series. We could even get the book I've been sending you chapter by chapter published and turn it into a comic later. We'll be the best horror team ever. It'll be so cool! I can't wait to see you next summer. Love you Angel Face!

Love,

Virus'

'Virus,

Shit! I am so fucking screwed! I just found out that there's this murderer, Sirius Black, on the loose that escaped from fucking Azkaban! He was Voldemort's right hand man apparently and he wants revenge against me for bringing down his master. I am so fucked! I wish you were here. At least if you were with me I'd know I was safe. I really wish you were here, I don't feel even remotely safe and this acting is killing me! As soon as you come I'm dropping all masks and clinging to you just so you're warned. I will not leave your side for anything other than bathroom breaks and sleeping in the dorms. I just hope I live that long. Please mail me; it'll calm me down a bit. It's slightly thrilling to be this scared though. Remember that I love you!

Love,

Walking Dead Man'

'Walking-Dead-Man (That's pretty funny Harry),

At least you're modest. You know I love you and I wouldn't mind you clinging. Only you though, anyone else does it and they'll lose a limb. Sweetie, don't worry. Neither the ministry nor Bumble More will let their 'savior' die. You just watch they'll do something stupid and over the top that's totally uncalled for. You just need to relax so I'm sending you 'Only the Ring Finger Knows' and 'City of Bones', its not exactly horror but it's cool. Ring Finger is really romantic so I know you'll love it. Send more art. I'm making a portfolio for you. Your pen name is going to be world famous Babe! No one will even know it was really you. You'll be okay, just like you are every year. Just relax and don't get yourself involved. I love you!

Love,

Virus'

'Virus,

I know this is like the third letter I've complained about Sirius still being on the run because Pettigrew escaped but my relatives are really pissing me off! I just want to shove them in that stupid cupboard and not feed them and see how they like it! They are horrible and stupid and when are you coming? I'm going to cry! I don't like them at all! Please come save me! I want to stay with you! I feel horribly unloved and alone. I haven't had human contact of any kind since the beginning of summer. I am affection starved. I mean I'm not about to go sleeping around or anything but I could use a hug at least! I'm lonely…save me! I love you!

Love,

Sad Man'

'Sad-Man (Little dramatic Harry),

I'll be there on June fifteenth. Relax Love. I'll give you all the hugs you want as soon as I get there. Then we'll go shopping and have fun and nobody will recognize you! You'll have guys lining up for you! Did you know that the wizarding world is very accepting of gays? And men can get pregnant! I know how much you want a family! Now you can get preggers and have one of your very own and shower it with love and life lessons and whatever else it is parents do. So be careful about spreading your legs! Always use a condom. Remember not to have one-night stands and to wait a year into the relationship before having sex. I'll see you in a week! Love you!

Love,

Virus'

Harry read over Virus's last letter again waiting at the park for her eagerly while rolling his eyes at her comments.

"Honestly, was it really necessary to have the sex talk with me at fourteen? Who am I gonna sleep with for crying out loud?" Harry mused aloud.

"You're gorgeous Harry, you never know who would be willing to take advantage of you." A female voice said with a laugh. Harry's head snapped up so fast she was surprised he did not get whiplash. He took in the sight of her memorizing her short black and orange hair, creamy whitish-blue eyes that he was sure were zombie contact lenses and black bags were clear under her eyes, very pale skin, and slim developing body. He noticed that her nails were as crimson as blood and were sharpened into claws and her lips were stained the color of blood. She wore a black shirt that said 'Resident Evil' and had the umbrella corporation logo on it and black jeans.

"Ada?" Harry asked hopefully.

"Course its me Panic! Who else would know what you were talking about?" She told him laughing. He jumped up and hugged her tightly.

"Finally! This is the first time we've met in person! Let's go make it special and get lunch together!" He spoke excitedly a truly happy grin nearly splitting his face.

"Sure thing Babe! Then we go shopping and we transform you. This is gonna be great!" She responded just as happily.

"Love you." He said quietly hugging her tightly again fighting the need to cry in his happiness.

"I love you too." She said back just as gently hugging him tightly as well.

TBC…

YR: Wait till you see what I've got cooked up. This'll be great.
