A/N: So, here's a new fic...YAY! I've had this idea since I read Harry Potter and the Setting Sun(which is REALLY REALLY good so go read it). This chapter will be kinda angsty, cause you gotta find out how Harry was forced to leave England and all that. But it'll get sarcastic real fast. And random. Blame my friends. But it will be OOC! You have been warned! Oh, and Sirius is ALIVE, I love him and can't have him die. It's just wrong.
Disclaimer:I own only the plot. Not the characters, I get no profit. Just the knowldge that I can bend the characters to my will in this story MWHAHAHAHAHHA-cough- sorry. Gotta stop bursting into evil laughter. Scares the ickle-firsties.
Thank you to Cindy Snowflake for being my Beta!
He arrived in the small town around 5pm. He already knew were to go, even though he had never been there. He had an address, 715 West Lot Street. He'd looked at the house with the use of internet, and bought it. It had been empty for a while – something about problem neighbors – but he didn't care if they played loud music and had parties, as long as they didn't poke into his business.
Not that they'd find anything. He'd made sure his past was hidden… gone nonexistent. They wouldn't find anything on Sirius Lupin. He didn't have a past. Harry Potter still did but no one this side of the pond knew his name was Harry. His realtor thought he was an orphaned 18 year old named Sirius who'd lost his parents very young. Which he was… now.
He didn't have to worry about the problems Harry used to have. He didn't have a megalomaniac after him, a whole society hounding him, lying 'best friends', or manipulating old coots.
Now he was just an orphan (he'd had to keep that part of his story since saying he was got him out of having to provide parents for authority figures who asked) who became emancipated when he was 16 after his Aunt developed cancer and died. He'd had no relatives, nowhere to go, and a butt load of money. What good would it do to put "Sirius" in an orphanage when he could take care of himself? So he'd moved out and bought a house where it didn't remind him of his "dead Aunt".
It'd been easy to forge the documents for his new life. With the help of Sirius and Remus it was done before anyone else had even the slightest idea what was happening. After he'd killed the Dark Lord 2 months ago (1 of which was spent in coma), his life had been a living hell. He never had a moment of privacy; he had letters from practically every magical person and creature (that had hands) in Britain; and he'd found out that his friends weren't his friends.
Well, not all his friends. Just Ron and Hermione. And Dumbledore, if he was ever considered a friend. But they had betrayed him. Planned to kill him. He'd been lucky enough to overhear their plans before they were set in motion.
He'd been lying in his hospital bed, and they thought it funny to mock him to his "unconscious" face. But he'd been awake and could hear every word of their plan – how they were disappointed they hadn't been there when he killed Voldemort, so they could have finished him off. How they would have gotten all his fame and money and still will if he would just die.
Harry wasn't sure how they figured they'd get his money, but this was Dumbledore.
But now that word had gotten out that he'd survived the Final Battle, how could they do off with him? Maybe say his body couldn't take all the magical strain and shut down? Well, it didn't matter. Pomfrey said he could be out for 3-4 more days; they were in no rush.
So as soon as they left the hospital wing, he apparated to what should have been #12 Grimmauld Place, then proceeded to collapse. He had just enough energy to crawl to the door that had appeared (along with the rest of the house, but Harry wasn't exactly seeing straight) and knock. He hoped Sirius would hear, and he had.
Not more than 1 minute later Sirius and Remus both opened the door, letting a slumped Harry Potter inside. Harry almost didn't notice the disarrayed mess that was their clothes. He asked about that later, when he was conscious and the two older men just blushed. Remus quickly left the room, muttering something about how he was craving tea and if anyone would want some.
It didn't take a genius to figure out what he'd interrupted. Not that they had anything to be ashamed of. Harry himself was bi, but he'd told this to no one, not even Ron and Hermione, for fear it'd get leaked to the Daily Prophet. Which he was now very happy about.
Harry had just laughed at them after they said they were afraid of his reaction, wondering if when living with those muggles he had learned that homosexuals were evil and unnatural.
He'd told them he was bi and thus quite comfortable with them, eager to see their reactions. It was pretty damn funny. Sirius had just taken a sip of tea, which ended up all over Remus.
But along with this information, he told them of what he'd heard in the hospital wing, and they'd both decided that it was best to leave England as it was all under Dumbledore's control. He wrote letters to his true friends – Ginny, Luna, Neville, and the other Weasley boys – to explain why he was going to leave, but not where to. Sirius and Remus promised to get the letters to them.
He had boarded the plane with little fuss. Sirius and Remus had accompanied him to the airport, and let him leave with a simple hug from both.
The plane ride had also been quiet. No one screamed or pointed at his scar, which was a rather nice change. Instead, he had been able to sit and watch a few movies on his laptop, and forget for a while. He didn't think much about his destination. All he knew was that it was a tiny, tiny little town, less than 2000 residents.
So where was the one place Dumbledore wouldn't look for Harry Potter, now Sirius Lupin?
Morganville, Texas, USA, North America.
There's a poll on my profile for pairings. As you can see, I like slash, so I have no problem pairing Harry with Shane , Micheal, or Myrnin. I'm leaning toward Harry/Myrnin or Harry/Oliver. And I need the pairings soon! He'll be meeting the other characters in the next chapter! R&R please. You will get cyber cookies!
