"Hello there!" said a voice that the young boy didnt know.
"Hello." came the only reply.
"My name is Lucius." said the man, "What is your name son?"
"Harry, sir." said the little boy.
"Why are you all alone?" asked the man, smiling.
"No one wants a freak." said Harry, sobbing.
:You are not a freak." said Lucius coldly.
The little boy stood up suddenly and looked for a place to run to. He knew he was in trouble whenever anyone used that tone. Before he could take off the man grabbed his arm gently.
"Im sorry son." said Lucius, "Im not mad at you. You are not a freak. Your parents would be turning in their graves to hear you call yourself that."
"You know my mommy and daddy?" asked Harry, wiping his eyes.
"Yes they were friends of mine." said Lucius, wondering why he told the little boy something he had not told many people.
"I want mommy and daddy." said Harry sobbing. "Aunt and Uncle dont like me."
"Do they hurt you?" asked Lucius already seeing the bruises on the boy and knowing that he needed to do something.
"I cant tell." said Harry, "I promised to not tell anyone,"
"Okay." said Lucius, "Its all right. How would you like a new mommy and daddy?"
"Can you be my daddy?" asked Harry wondering if this man wanted him.
"Yes." said Lucius, "I would like to be your daddy, and you will have a brother to play with."
Harry jumped into his new daddy's arms and held on tight as the man walked away from the small park. He knew he was safe for now and he felt something that no one should be without...love. Harry soon fell asleep against the shoulder of the man.
How this for a new story?
