Chapter 1: That's One Way
Chapter 1: That's One Way!
Disclaimer: I wish I owned Harry Potter. But I don't. Please don't sue me for something that I wish but don't own. Thank you! :)
Harry Potter lived at Number Four Privet Drive. All the houses looked the same and all the cars looked the same: dull and boring. As were the eyes of Harry Potter. His once emerald green eyes that shone with mirth were now dulled and empty. Whenever he smiled it never reached his eyes. It was as if he were trying to prove to everyone that he was okay, but both he and they knew that he was not okay. It was the summer after fifth year and Harry was mourning the loss of the only person he had actually had as a father figure in his life, Padfoot. Sirius was always important to Harry. When anything was wrong he would go talk to Sirius. Sirius was like a Diary of sorts, you tell him all your secrets and he can only let others know if you give him permission. That night the Dursleys had given him a hard time.
AAAA-FLASHBACK-AAAA
Vernon Dursley was seated on the couch watching the evening news.
"Boy," his uncle shouted angrily.
"Yes," answered Harry wearily, his uncle was using him as his personal slave.
"Make me a cup of tea boy," his uncle hissed unpleasantly.
"Yes Uncle Vernon," and Harry went to make the tea. He place some soap in it and stirred then gave it to his Uncle.
His uncle sputtered up the tea. Harry knew he was in trouble. He grabbed a plastic bag with a white powdered substance and grabbed his trunk and owl and ran out of the house with his stuff with his uncle ranting and raving behind him.
AAAA-FLASHBACK-AAAA
Right now he was sitting on a street corner with all his stuff when a girl came out of the shadows and patted him on the shoulder.
"You a runaway," she whispered in a horse voice.
"Yah," Harry answered back.
"Follow me," she said and then walked back into the alley. Harry, being the curious and now homeless person that he was, followed. She led him into a sidebar room thing at the back of the alley.
"Welcome to the Hide-And-Seek," she said.
"The what," Harry said swallowing a laugh at the people who were offering him a place to stay when he didn't have one.
"Oh Thunder was on crack that day when she gave it that name, and it just stuck," said the girl. Then she started to point to people.
"This is Thunder," she pointed to a girl about sixteen that had navy blue eyes and bright blonde hair.
"This is Antler," she said pointing to a boy about seventeen with brown hair and brown eyes.
"This is Loner," she said pointing to a boy about fifteen with red hair and blue eyes. He looked up at the sound of his name but looked back down to what he was doing when he saw it was nothing important.
"This is Jaybird," she said pointing to a girl with black hair, and forest green eyes.
"And finally, I am M.A.D," she said, she had blonde hair and brown eyes.
"You will be Bolt," she said.
"Why Bolt," Harry asked, even though he knew the answer.
"That thing on your forehead dude," M.A.D said lifting his fringe. He flinched and her hand quickly moved away.
"Abuse huh," M.A.D said, he nodded forcefully.
"Anyway, take the flat in the corner and we'll talk in the morning," she said. Harry went over and put his stuff down and lay down on the pile of what seemed like old cloth. He lay like that until everyone was asleep.
'Why are they being nice to me? How am I going to survive? What if Voldemort finds me? What if I die? Who is going to save the Wizarding World?' and he finally sensed that he would not fall asleep. He went over to his trunk and pulled out his muggle walkman that was also charmed to work at Hogwarts and it started to play 'Stand My Ground By Within Temptation.'
I can see
When you stay low nothing happens
Does it feel right?
No it doesn't. I should be saving the world now but nooo, not because of DUMBledore.
Late at night
Things I thought I put behind me
Haunt my mind
Sirius and the Department of Mysteries, Cedric and the rising of Voldemort, his parent's death.
I just know there's no escape now
Once it's set its eyes on you
But I won't run have to stare it in the eyes
If I had to do that with the Basilisk I would be dead by now.
Stand my ground I won't give in
No more denying I've got to face it
Won't close my eyes and hide the truth inside
If I don't make it someone else will
Stand my ground
Sadly if I die I will leave Voldemort to conquer the world. No one else can stop him.
Its all around
Getting stronger, coming closer
Into my world
It's always been in mine though.
I can feel
That its time for me to face it
Can I take it?
I know I can when the time is right. Or can I?
Though this might just be the ending
Of the life I held so dear
But I won't run there's no turning back from here
I never really had the chance to turn back, but I don't really love my life anyway so…
Stand my ground I won't give in
No more denying I've got to face it
Won't close my eyes and hide the truth inside
No matter how much I want to.
If I don't make it someone else will
Stand my ground
Sadly that is still not true
All I know for sure is I'm trying
I will always stand my ground
Damn strait I'm trying and of course I'll stand my ground, for myself and the rest of the world.
Stand my ground I won't give in
I won't give up
No more denying I have to face it
Won't close my eyes and hide the truth inside
If I don't make it someone else will
No matter how much I want that to be true
Stand my ground I won't give in
No more denying I got to face it
Won't close my eyes and hide the truth inside
If I don't make it someone else will
Stand my ground
And with that Harry fell asleep.
