06: Absynthe Death

by: Scythe24

Albus Dumbledore, Headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, gazed out over the young faces of his newly returned students. Summer hols had once again come to an end and the students had all piled onto the train. However when he looked over the sixth year Gryffindors he was reminded of one student that would not be returning, as of yet that is.

Yes, Harry James Potter, the Boy-Who-Lived, was unaccounted for. He had flown of the train soon after it had pulled away from the station the year before. There had been no word from him all summer either. Albus Dumbledore was worried, very worried. Perhaps I should have kept his godfather safe…

--….—

"Oh Ron I'm so worried! Where could he be!"

"For the thousandth bloody time Hermione, I don't know! Bloody Hell you've been askin' me all summer."

The bushy haired girl, although it wasn't quite as bushy pulled back as it was, puffed out her cheeks in frustration. "But Ron! This is Hogwarts. As in Harry's only home!"

"I don't know Hermione!" The red head couldn't take it. Yes he loved the girl, but all this summer had been the same thing. It hurt how obsessed she was with Harry Potter's well being and presence. But that isn't to say Ron didn't worry about his friend as well, but with Mione's attention being focused on the Golden Boy it was safe to say he was more than a little jealous.

Both sat silently through the Sorting, and were planning on keeping to that during Dumbledore's speech, both before and after. The before was quiet, the after had mentioned Harry.

"As some of you may have noticed, we are short one Harry Potter. As it is, I'm afraid I have – well what's this?" A mechanical bird flew in from the mail windows and began to fly around the aged headmaster. HE reached out and lifted the letter of the bird, which then flew to Hermione to sit on her shoulder with a mechanical 'chirp'. Dumbledore unfolded the letter, but did not have time to read it out, as the letter did it for him.

"Yo! Dumbles what's up! Hermione like the bird? Its name is Torii, 'cause that means 'chirp' in Japanese. Not really creative but hey! Sorry Ron nothin for you. Any ways, yeah it's Harry Potter, AWOL Gryffindor Golden Boy. Don't worry I'll be back before the first Quidditch practice, that is if all of the rules set in place by Umbrigde have been sent to Hell. See YA!"

The Great Hall was immediately filled with chatter and Dumbledore smiled, content that he hadn't completely lost his number one pawn.

At the Gryffindor table, the girls were all cooing over the mechanical bird Torii. "So Hermione, you never said you were dating the Boy-Who-Lived?" Lavender asked coyly.

"I'm not. Harry is like my brother, I could never."

"Keep it in the family!" Ginny joked. The girls laughed.

-New York City, New York-

Harry grunted as he was pushed back into another building. Growling slightly he pushed forward again with all his strength, moving from the building while pushing his opponent back. When he was clear of the building he moved his arm to the others chest and released a round of gunfire into the low stomach of his opponent.

"Congratulations. You just killed us all." Came a cold voice from his left. With a grin Harry turned to the screen.

"Well you know, I'm good with killing people I like." There was laughter from the same spot on his left, but the visual of this speaker was to his right. "My right speaker is busted." He mumbled.

"I'm good at killing the people I like too Green Eyes."

"You still haven't told me that story Duo."

"Patience Midori-kun. You might not want to hear it." Yet another new voice, and another visual.

"Hn. Quatre's right. Duo's story is painful."

"OI! It's my story Heero, shouldn't it be my pain too!" Prussian eyes gave a 'look' to the screen display showing Duo.

"Baka."

Harry, Duo and Quatre laughed.

Scythe24: Review if you think I should continue this, if it's good I'll post more, hopefully more often. If not I'll probably write 3 chapters and just leave it for a few years.

Demon: You almost gave Harry my nickname. I'm HellCat!

Scythe24: I know and that's one of the reasons I changed it to Absynthe Death. Absynthe is a very very very strong alcohol by the way, it's bright Avada Kedavra green, like Harry's eyes. And Death, well like I wrote, Harry loses a lot of people. He also dreams of death cause of that bastard of a Dark Lord. And because in this he's Gundam Pilot 06. -
