CHAPTER TWO

Not home, Never home

Harry bolted awake. He sighed and mumbled, "Not again". Seeing as it was only three in the morning he rolled out of bed.

It had been like this for the whole summer. Every night he would wake up from the same dream, nightmare.

The dream always started out with him and Cedric in the graveyard. The bastard, Pettigrew's voice would say the killing curse and Cedric would be dead. Never to speak another word. Harry would then be portkeyed to the Ministry. He would see Sirius falling into the veil. The thought of his Godfather brought tears to his eyes. Even after almost two months of mourning, he still could not get over his only family's death. Sure Aunt Petunia was related but she wasn't family. She didn't comfort him when he needed it the most, such as now.

After Sirius, he would see his parents being murdered by Voldemort. Except before Voldemort got blown to bits and Harry's title came into play, Old Tommy would ask Harry to join him. Join him. The stupid bastard already knew his answer to that. Every single time, before he could even utter a single, "never" the green light would be flying at him. In the background showed what he feared most: his friends looking at him with dead, unseeing eyes. Just like Cedric's; just like his parents.

At least I didn't scream this time. He thought.During half of the first month, he had screamed every single time, but the Dursley's helped stop that. None too gently. Halleluiah for today, Fate had decided to go easy on him.

Some things in his life weren't perfect and he had lost his innocence a long time ago. There were points in his life when he would wish that someone else was the boy-who-lived or when he was immersed in self-pity, he would wish it was Neville. The moment after that thought always came anger. Anger at having the whole Wizarding World's fate on his shoulders. Anger at not having a loving family. Anger at Sirius for dying. Anger at how he was treated as a savior, when he couldn't even do Occlumeny! So many problems, so little time.

Brooding a little at his terrible and terrifying life, Harry got some of his homework to finish for school. Sometimes waking up early had its advantages. Besides in a week he would be gone from his dingy room he called his personal hell. Hogwarts, his true home, was an arm's reach away.

Harry was now disregarding what he said earlier about getting up early. He was nearly dead on his feet! At least the Dursleys weren't being as terrible as they had been a couple of years back. That's when he thanked the Order for being there but they could become a bit pesky at times.

At the moment, he was washing up the dishes as his 'family' watched the news. It looked as if nothing interesting was happening because Dudley wasn't paying rapt attention. Harry was glad nothing was happening. If anything occurred in the Muggle world then there would be turmoil in the Wizarding one. He finished his chore and looked at the list Petunia gave him. It was kind of like those bottomless bags except in list form. Next on his list was to weed the garden, then he was supposed to trim the hedges, then water and replant some things in Petunia's garden, then he was supposed to repaint the fence, then, then, then… NEVERENDING! He almost wished Voldemort would come and save him the privilege of hexing his relatives.

Harry sighed, he was brooding again. Maybe it's not just me who has to go through this every single year. Maybe there's someone out there just like me. He laughed bitterly. Sure, when I join Voldemort.

When he was done for the day, he went to his room to try and find a peaceful nights sleep. Only six days left and he would be able to make dreamless sleep potions and use silencing spells to stop his roommates from waking. Six days. He could live until then. But until then, he would endure his hell.

Please review!!! And sorry it's so short it will get longer, Never fear!! I really like these line things.. :)
