"Your friend is definitely strange Sam."
"That he is Jess that he is."
It had been only two weeks since I became Sams' only existing childhood friend, the only problem with that sentence is I don't really exist and I didn't know Sam until two weeks ago but I am his friend! I think? But can you really become friends with the reaper sent to kill you? I don't know, but whatever this week was exciting Sam actually did the ritual, risking his life to bring me back, but we saved him soul from escaping with magical bonds around us so it couldn't escape. Anyway it's Halloween tonight and Jess is trying to persuade us to do something ridiculous, I may have pushed her towards pressuring Sam but definitely not me!
"But Sam!"
"No Jess you know how much I hate Halloween." There was a finality tone in his voice but unluckily Jess has become immune to them so the pressuring continued.
"Harry!"
"Sorry but no Jess I can't, Halloween's always been a bad time for me." Sam looked at me questioning my words while I gave him a small forced smile remembering why Halloween's always been bad for me; my parents deaths, Nearly-Headless Nicks party and dieing obviously, that's what ball we were going to on the night of the final battle. Ironic really how he set off to kill me on Halloween and finished the job on the same date quite a few years later, he thought it was fate until I killed him also.
"Fine but Sam!"
"Oh go on Sammy!" Jess had been shocked Sam had actually let me call him Sammy since he said he hated it but since we were 'childhood' friends she let it slip. "I'm just gonna be bored here anyway."
"Ah ah mister you're going too, both of you are now put on these costumes we're already fifteen minutes late!" We got two pieces of material shoved into our hands before Jess stalked from the room.
"Come on Sam we'll put up with it for one night?"
"Just to make her happy."
"Yep just to make her happy!" He agreed before we went to get changed.
"Ironic just fucking ironic!" Sam heard my ranting and came out to investigate in a vampire costume that seemed a size too big.
"What?"
"Just look at what I'm wearing!" He did and promptly burst out laughing. I was wearing a grim reaper costume, how close to the truth could the girl get?
"Well at least it suits you!"
"Shut up bloodsucker and let's go before she comes back to her boyfriend decapitated like his creature, shall we?"
"Come on then." And that's how we set out looking as ridiculous as we felt.
"Hey Harry you never did tell me how you died." I knew this would be coming but not tonight.
"Did you hear of all the strange happenings over in England a few years ago?"
"Yeah the news said it was just a few problems that needed sorting and extreme weather."
"Well it was a bit more than that."
"I thought it had to be supernatural, because it wasn't just weather twisting bridges, no matter how strong a storm is it can't do that."
"No, it's a bit more complicated than that, hey you got a computer?"
"Yeah back at the apartment."
"Think we can sneak back for a bit?"
"All clear I think we better hurry back though cause Jess'll notice."
"Uh huh!" And like creatures we were pretending to be we creapt from the bright atmosphere into the night and back to the apartment.
"Here we go!" Hermione had produced a web-block for muggle-born Hogwarts students, I had been watching out for my friends during the first year until it got too painful and found this, she had somehow created it so it had the history (obviously because it's Hermione here) and updates on the wizarding world so the muggle-borns could keep up with the wizarding world while they were at home. She has some great ideas.
"So this is what happened?" We were currently looking at the headlines, not the actual articles thank Merlin.
"Uh huh."
"So who's this Boy-Who-Lived?" Oh shit I thought we could of avoided that subject.
"Erm.. just someone who helped a lot in the war. NO! Don't look... at it." Too late he had already clicked onto a article with a huge and I mean huge picture of me looking ok, I guess but seriously could they have got a picture? To make it worse the title had to exclaim 'Boy-Who-Lived-To-Save-Us Dead!'
"This is you?"
"Yeah but please don't say anything."
"You died saving them and all they can do is degrade you?"
"yeah.. WAIT! What?" I leant over his shoulder to see what he said is true. '"Potter was going insane"'came from the minister, "me? He was the one saying Voldemort wasn't back when these things were happening around him!" '"Harry was slightly unstable before the battle"' "GINNY?"
"I guess she was close to you?"
"Yeah she was my best friends little sister but she was slightly stalkerish and when I turned her down.. trust me you're glad you weren't there!"
"I bet, come on we better go but can I keep the password?"
"Oh yeah sure, you not mad I didn't tell you about it?"
"No if I were in your shoes I'd have done exactly the same thing."
"Thanks Sammy!" I looked towards the bright lights streaming through the building doors and grinned. "Come on let's get back!" I grabbed Sam and dragged him towards the doors. "And cheer up I'm gonna make sure you have a good time, so look like it!" And both with laughs and smiles we entered the party atmosphere once more.
"I'm exhausted!" I literally fell through the door to the apartment with Sam and Jess in tow.
"Me too but I didn't do as much as you did!"
"Hey I said I wanted a good time and I had a good time, now come on off to bed!" I shoved them both in the direction of their bedroom and just collapsed onto the sofa in my outfit, falling asleep within seconds.
I woke up to footsteps in the kitchen and silently, alright so I had to cast a silencing charm on my own feet, I crept towards the noise and saw a shadow near the fridge and coming towards me. As the shadow walking past my place from behind the door I leapt onto the trespassers back, pushing them to the ground and looming over them so I could see any movement they made.
A light came on and a "Holy shit!" came from below me, before a laugh came from the bedroom door.
"What?"
"Harry I think you scared him!" He looked round me before his laughter came to a halt. "Dean?"
"Sammy!"
"Why did I scare him I wasn't even trying to?" I looked back at Sam where he came from his shocked state and looked at me.
"Harry you're still wearing your costume."
"Oh! Do you think everyone will be that scared if I always wear this?"
"Yeah and I think Chay wouldn't thank you for killing your victims from horror repeatedly do you?"
"No I suppose not. Huh I'll think about it!"
"Hey do you mind getting the hell off of me?" I looked back down and laughed.
"Ok!" I bounced back and over to the couch where I squirmed to find my comfy spot again, earning a strange look from the guy.
"Dean what are you doing here?"
"I was looking for a beer!"
"No seriously what are you doing here?"
"We need to talk."
"Ever heard of a phone?"
"If I'd of called would you have picked up?"
"Sam? Harry?"
"Jessie it's ok we got it!" I jumped up to keep her out of view from this Dean guy, I knew his type and her being taken wouldn't stop him going after her.
"You sure?"
"Yeah Jess it's just my brother Dean."
"Well shouldn't I get up then."
"No come on we had a late night I'll get you a drink or something, you just get back to bed." She looked over my shoulder and waved at Dean.
"Ok then nice to meet you I guess Dean!"
"Yeah you too." Jess went to bed with a little shove from me and as I walked to the kitchen I saw Dean eyeing her.
"You keep your hands to yourself or you won't have none left you hear me?"
"Hey no touching but maybe some looking." He peeked past where I'd placed myself infront of him and I snapped his gaze back to me with a hand on his shoulder.
"You don't listen to me and go anywhere near her, look at her in the wrong way or even think about her like that again and you'll be lucky if you only lose a few body parts. Got it?" He gave a sharp nod and a chuckle but when my eyes narrowed he stopped it. "Good!" And I left to get Jess her drink
"Where you pick up the weirdo Sam and where did he get a girlfriend like that?" I heard him give a short whistle before cutting it off obviously when Sam glared at him or did something of the sort.
"She's not my girlfriend thankyou, she's Sammys'" I walked past them and saw the confused look from Dean when I used Sams' not so used nickname. "Here Jess, night."
"Thanks Harry." I kissed her forehead and pulled the covers up with a short "Your welcome," before going back to the couch.
"Well what's so important you had to drag yourself up here to see me?"
"Er.. well.. Sammy!" He obviously wanted to say something but held himself back.
"Just say it Dean, Harry knows most of this stuff anyway."
"How?"
"Let's just say how you see me now is closer to the truth than Jess realises."
"Huh?"
"Harrys' a reaper Dean."
"WHAT?"
"A reaper dumb nuts, uhh! Sammy hurry up I'm tired!"
"Right well anyway Harry is Death or Chays' right hand man or his grim reaper really and since he has no quota and someone near here, more than likely me is going to die he decided he didn't want to listen to the big man any more and become one of us."
"How?"
"Sam did the ritual thingy-ma-bob!"
"But that doesn't usually work does it? How did you make it work?"
"MAGIC OK?" I was so tired I had to end this conversation but ended up laughing and my words didn't come out right. "Oh for Merlins sake, please just tell us why you're here and let me sleep!"
"Ok, Sam Dad's missing and I need your help to find him."
"What? Why? He'll just stumble in, in a few days time somewhere."
"No he's really missing and I need your help to find him."
"You can't just break in, in the middle of the night and expect me to come travelling with you."
"I n.."
"Yes I heard Dean needs Sams' help, Sam doesn't want to let me just sort this a minute!" I stood between the two brothers and put my hand over Deans mouth when he was about to speak. "Shh! Sammy go get some stuff I know you left this behind but please, I wasn't allowed to even know if the people I knew were missing or not so please, Sammy go find your Dad. I don't care how disfuctional your family is, I never got one or when I did it was torn apart again, just do it please." He looked at me considering before looking at the bedroom.
"But Jessica..."
"I'll put some wards up and as soon as she's even slightly in trouble or injured, even a paper cut I'll bring you back I promise."
"You sure?"
"Hey saving peoples' asses was my day job then it was killing them I admit but now I'm in hero mode again!" This got a laugh and a smile before Sam was going to pack a bag.
"Ow ergh oo goo gat?"
"Huh! Oh sorry!" I took my hand from Deans mouth and let him ask again.
"How did you do that?"
"Oh um just persuasion I guess?"
"Or you really know Sammy."
"Nope met him just two weeks ago!"
"And your sleeping on his couch, especially being a reaper!"
"Hey! And yeah I'm just good at persuading people and acting very good at acting, especially innocent had to practice that a lot in a magic boarding school."
"You keep saying that, magic, wards and bringing him back quickly how did that work?"
"Oh I was a wizard?"
"Like those a few years ago?"
"Yeah!"
"Which side where you on, hang on what's your full name?"
"Nope not telling you that cause then you'll probably know how I am and Hermione will kill me if I came back to life without telling her."
"Hermione she was one of the main people on the light side right?"
"Right!"
"So are you Harry Potter because he was the only Harry I think they mentioned?"
"Yes ok I saved the fucking wizarding world now I'm coming with you so shut it and act like I'm another human please!"
"Fine, fine, you ready Sammy?"
"Yeah just coming."
"Don't worry Jess I'll look after him!" I shouted to the bedroom knowing she would be worrying about Sam, "you just keep yourself in check and no exciting adventures while we're gone ok?"
"Sure Harry and you better!"
"Of course now come on Sammy I'm tired!"
"Here!" I caught Sams' bag and my other change of clothes, "do you need to change?"
"Nope got my others on under here!"
"Can't believe you still have only two sets of clothes."
"Hey just keep in what's comfortable!"
"Sure." With that we walked to the car and I fell asleep on the back seat after taking off my costume.
SO yeah this is part 1 of Pilot. I will try and keep to the plot but I have to change some of it to fit this so...
Review! Review! Review! PLEASE!
