Ch. 2
"Bye Harry! Take care of yourself!" Ron and Hermione waved before she added," And remember to do your homework!"
The boys rolled their eyes at her typical behaviour. Harry said dryly,"Yes Mum. I will." Ron snickered while Hermione narrowed her eyes dangerously, but her lips were twitching, holding back a laugh. Harry seemed to be cheerier now, though they didn't know why. They had an inkling as to who it was that made him so cheery and were determined to find out whether they were safe. Perhaps they would thank them as well for getting Harry out of his gloom.
The Hogwarts Express was leaving soon, so the two leaving had to get on. Just as they landed safely on the train, it started to move, and quickly. The couple stuck their heads out, sending Harry a last farewell. "Bye Harry! See you at the Weasleys'! And please, stay out of trouble, concentrate on Mr Valentine!"
They were gone. He was going to miss them. Harry turned to his left and stared at a raven-haired person who was looking at the leaving train wistfully. He looks so lonely, still so… enchanting. Blushing when he realised he had been staring, he opened his mouth.
" C'mon An-Mr Valentine. We should have a tour around Hogwarts first, since we'll be spending quite some time there." he suggested.
Tilting his head to Harry's direction, Valentine said softly," Please Mister Potter, call me Angelus. At least for the summer. After all, we'll be spending quite some time together. "
He smiled sweetly at Harry, oblivious to the inner turmoil Harry was experiencing. Merlin, he looks so adorable! Wait, what? He narrowed his brows, inwardly frowning at his unusual behaviour.
" Mister Potter?"
Snapping his head to Angelus, he realised he was already heading back to the Floo. Chasing him, he replied," Well, call me Harry then. Wouldn't be fair see."
Blinking, he grinned at Harry happily before turning around to rush to the Floo. "Hurry up then Harry, time's slipping! "
They raced each other back to the Leaky Cauldron then to Hogwarts, leaving behind an empty train station, laughing all the way.
I found a friend.

Then he looked up from his last meal at Hogwarts as a fifth year, and looked into silver eyes.
-A few minutes later-
Harry was in the Headmaster's office along with the stranger. Stealing glances at the mysterious person, he wondered why he felt so familiar. Just like with them…
When he saw Dumbledore enter, he quickly stood up from his seat, and exclaimed frantically," Whatever it was, it wasn't me!" Eyes twinkling, Dumbledore chuckled.
" No need to be so defensive, my dear boy. I only bring good news today. You shall be staying at Hogwarts for this Summer Break-" he was cut off by whoops from Harry.
"Yes! Yes, yes yes!" he would have continued if he was not interrupted by the sound of a throat clearing.
Scratching his head, Harry smiled sheepishly," Sorry Headmaster. I was too excited… Heh…"
" It's quite alright Harry. However you'll have to help Mister Angelus Valentine here get used to Hogwarts," he gestured to the young man next to him. " He is to be Professor Snape's assistant for the next school semester until further notice. "
An assistant for ole Snape? Harry stared curiously at the squirming male, who peeked at him from under his lashes. " Pleased to meet you, Mister Potter. Thank you for helping me in advance. I have the feeling I'll be lost for a lot of times in here," Angelus smiled shyly at him, a soft blush tinting his cheeks.
His eyes widened and he darkened into a bright shade of red. (A/N: Kinda contradictory hmm. That's Harry!) He stammered," H-Hi, same for me. Don't worry, I'll make sure that you'll know every nook and cranny in this old castle!"
"Now that the introductions are done, I have to go and finish some business. Try to take care of yourselves hmm?" Dumbledore gave a few last words before leaving.
Looking at each other, Harry took note of Valentine's appearance. At the Great Hall and just before then, he didn't actually look at him properly. Wow, he looks good. Drools. Valentine was wearing a simple grey dress shirt and a pair of black slacks, which brought out his silver eyes and black hair.
He stood at a height just tall enough for Harry to put his chin on. Perfect. What am I thinking, am I going crazy? (A/N: Harry. You were always crazy. )
Harry blushed when he realised that Angelus was fidgeting, as though waiting for him to finish his examination while he did the same to Harry. Suddenly he felt grateful that he wore some of his better clothes.
Harry was wearing a v-necked emerald green shirt, with a pair of dark blue jeans. They were new, bought from a Muggle style store at Hogsmeade. Hermione kept pestering him to buy it, and he did, if only to appease her. I should buy her that book she always wanted.
When their eyes met, they quickly looked away embarrassedly.
"So, shall we go to King's Cross station to see your friends off first then?" Angelus suggested coyly, eyes glancing at Harry.
Stuttering, he answered,"Erm, y-yeah. We'll d-do it. "
They left the office, shy with the unfamiliar yet so familiar person beside them.
Xx-End-xX
Soon they reached Hogwarts without Harry noticing, kept in his memories of before.
They made their way to the Great Hall for their dinner, and ate with Professors Snape and Dumbledore. Finishing their meal they explored the castle while Harry explained the unusual happenings in Hogwarts to an awed Angelus. It was all in all a normal day. Yet both couldn't help but feel-
Complete.
Well, that's it for today. Can anyone recommend a beta for me? If so, how am I supposed to get around with it? Thanks! Please, MORE reviews. :)
