A.N First off if you are currently reader my other stories they will be on hold while I update this one, sorry the inconvenience. Secondly this will either be a Harry/Daphne fanfiction or a Harry/Tracey fanfiction, you guys just vote in the comments. Also for the first time this story has had each chapter planned out in full so hopefully no long waits between chapters. Thirdly I am trying to get each chapter to 2k words but if it ruins what I have written I will only write 1.5 K per chapter. Lastly please like and review in the comments (only like if you really like the story I'm not forcing you to.).

Chapter 1 – The Prologue

Hate-filled eyes of my fellow students follow me as I walk through the corridors of Hogwarts. An eerie feeling seemed to pour out of the very being of the castle as if even Hogwarts doesn't want me around anymore. "It's almost surprising." I think to myself "That where last week the people ignored me or just looked at me with distain, but now it's as if they think that by staring hard enough they can get me to drop dead." Exiting through the huge wooden doors, which are big enough for twenty people the size of Uncle Vernon to walkthrough abreast, I leave the castle behind me on my way to the lake, just to find an angry mob waiting outside just for me.

They obviously knew that I've been leaving the castle lately so they waited outside for me because this mob was way to prepared to be made on the spot. "Lucky me" I mutter under my breath. Looking more closely at the mob I can tell that most, if not all them were wearing "Potter Stinks' Badges, and when they noticed that I've arrived the shouting and swearing began.

This is when Draco, the leader of the group, walked a few steps closer to me and says "Potter, speaking on behalf of the student body of Hogwarts we blame you for all the shit that has been going down these past few years at our school."

"What the bloody hell do you mean Malfoy I've been saving this school year after year not causing problems." I retort, feeling particularly proud of that remark.

"Before you came to our school nothing bad happened since the Chamber of secrets was opened the first time but now it's opened again and you just killed Cedric. What do you think we are stupid?" Malfoy argues as if it was common sense to think that way, which maybe it is for the wizarding world to blame small children for all their lives problems.

"First off Malfoy yes I think you personally are stupid but I didn't open the cham…'I try to get out before being interrupted by another voice, Ron's.

You're the only parseltongue here Harry, and don't try to blame Ginny we had her tested after the incident!"

"Why do I have to deal with this crap every year at this school?" I think while trying to think of a proper comeback, not able to make one up I decide to just go with "I don't have to deal with this!" and walking away.

As I am walking away I hear both Ron and Malfoy's voice call out" Don't run away from this Potter/Harry!"

Speeding up my stride I keep going shouting over my shoulder "Bugger off, or I'll draw my wand." Making more distance I am sad that my first friendship has died but managing to keep on moving because I still have Hermione.

As I finally approach my secret spot, I take one good look at it. "Lily's Cove" as it is called on the Marauders map is where my mom came to relax while she was at Hogwarts. There is only one lone oak tree nestled by the beach that serves as the home of a local group of pixies, these pixies unlike Cornish pixies are not blue but instead an eye pleasing magenta. They are also very nice and don't mind if I sit under their tree as long as I'm not too loud, which works for me as it is easily the best spot for naps in the cove. The beach itself is full of small seashells all the colours of the rainbow with some extra pretty ones thrown in for good measure that sometimes makes my think that I am sitting on a rainbow. The sand on the beach is so white and so fine that you would almost think someone went through it with a strainer or used a magic spell to get out any pebbles or rocks. Overall it is hands down the most beautiful place you could ever be.

I lie back against the oak tree, close my eyes and slowly fall asleep to the pitter-patter of pixie wings and tiny feet above me in the tree

I feel like I have only just begun to sleep when a feminine handshakes me out of the land of dreams. Groggily sitting up I look around to find out that it is probably almost midnight and that the person to find my spot and wake me was none other than Hermione. Looking at her more closely I realise that see not only has took the Marauders map and my father's cloak from my room she also seems nervous.

'Harry" Hermione started tears forming in her eyes" You must remember that I care for you and that you have been the best friend I've had since I've got here right?'

When I nod she continues" That is why it really pains me to say that we can't be friends anymore." "It's nothing personal but I can't stand having my chances off a good wizarding job ruined in the future because I'm friends with you."

These painful words hit me like a pile of bricks, my heart hearts so bad from the pain that it feels as if my entire life is worthless. That is before the raw anger comes out of me and I scream "Well I wouldn't want to ruin your chances for a good job by being your friend would I? 'That's what's friends are for, or wait there not!"

I'm tired of these bad memories at this death trap of a school. The place that has felt like home for the longest time is now starting to feel like my own personal hell. Ripping both the map and my cloak from her hands not caring if she is caught outside after hours anymore I head to the front gates that lead to Hogmead. I decide now that I'm leaving Hogwarts for now until Dumbledore gets off his ass and at least tries to prove that I'm innocent or killing Cedrick.

"Harry wait, where are you going?" Hermione calls after me.

"I'm going to buy a house with my money and live there until; Dumbledore helps me prove that I did not kill Cedric!" I yell speeding up my walk to the gates.

Barely able to think straight form rage its amazing that I remember to accio my trunk just now before I had left the grounds.

"Accio trunk, Accio Hedwig's Cage!" I call out into the night.

Hermione tries one last time to stop me from leaving Hogwarts by saying "But Harry you are enrolled at school you can't leave without permission!'

Laughing I Say" Well guess what I Quit Hogwarts!' The resulting boom that echoed from the magical contract being nullified started me but I carry on anyway.

Having finally reached the Gates to Hogsmead I turn around one last time and give Hogwarts one last look. The winding towers and the Quidditch field both brought a tear to my eye that this will be my last time seeing them for a while.

"Good-bye Hogwarts." I whisper, barely able to keep it together. Before I turn away the thought that no matter what Hogwarts will be my home, I wipe the tears from my eyes. With that I once again turn towards the gates, open them and with a deep breath leave the grounds of Hogwarts.

A.N- Thanks for reading this chapter was a bit short with only 1,109 words of story but I'll try to do better next time. Finally I've proofread this myself for glaring mistakes but because I don't have a Beta don't expect to not see any. Speaking of which if anyone of you wants to beta this story just pop me a Pm and we'll talk. Next Chapter takes place a few months after this right before something major happens so be on the lookout for that.

Edit- I have added some details and fixed some capitalization issues, if you see any more please let me know.
