Chapter 1
I'm on the train home, alone in the last carriage of the train trying to ignore the urge to lay my head down and fall asleep for the ride back to Surrey. The nightmares have been keeping me up at night and though I try not to bother Tavros he always seems to know when I'm awake and messages me in his weird typing style with only the first letter of a sentence uncapitalized.
But I guess that's one of the things that's cool about Tavros, he doesn't talk or act like a normal person and my weirdness just kind of mingles with his and I don't seem to mind how I'm always singles out or that I have a mad man chasing me constantly. Tavros is just distracting, but it's a good distracting.
I can't wait to see him in person, though I have to survive my first night back with Uncle Vernon first. Fun right? But either way I'm sure that I'll get to see Tavros sometime soon hopefully before the beatings start or there may be some awkward questions…
My head leans back against the back of the seat and I look out the window watching the countryside pass by. What will he be like? Will he like me in person? What will his friends be like? Will they like me?
[[[[Time Skip to after the train ride]]]]
I sigh and shrink my trunk before I can't use magic anymore placing it in my pocket, I had already let Hedwig out so that she wasn't immediately locked away in her cage in my room. I had told her to take her time and to try to enjoy her freedom, she had hooted at me sadly but nipped my fingers in reassurance.
As I step out of the train I immediately see my relatives and make my way over completely ignoring the calls of Mrs. Weasley and the twins, if they wanted to talk to me they should have looked for me on the train. Though I am glad that I slipped the prize money into the twin's trunk before they left or they may have never gotten it. When they do they will contact me, I think that they're jokes are cool and that they deserve the chance to try a hand at running a business.
I flinch as Uncle Vernon grabs my shoulder and shoves me to the car and slams the door behind me nearly catching my ankle in it as I flinch and hold Hedwig's cage to my chest as I try to keep as small as possible in the corner of the seat as far away from Dudley as possible. He's gotten bigger and probably gained 20-30 pounds over the year and I really don't want to be around him for very long just in case he starts Harry Hunting up again, but Dudley doesn't seem too interested in me cause he's staring at his new gaming device.
When we get to the house Vernon has me make dinner then go up to my room with only a piece of toast and an open can of clam chowder. He must have sold a bunch of drills or got a promotion to be feeling this generous. When I get to my room I pull out my laptop and get on Pesterchum
Tavros is on and sends me a message:

With a sigh Harry closed his laptop and hid it under the loose floorboard under his bed with all the rest of his important stuff. He went downstairs to make the Dursley's dinner and thought: Soon I'll get to meet Tavros in person. Hopefully without bruises…
Hey guys it's B.E.T. here umm I know you guys were all hoping for Harry and Tavros to meet in this chapter but since Harry is in England and Tavros isn't… I decided to make it so Tavros lived in the U.S. and he's traveling to live in England so… Yeah… Also I had originally had the convo typed in color you know brown for Tavros and I had emerald green for Harry (the name and color were the idea of "crazy dragon ninja" who was my first reviewer and my first subscriber). So I hope you guys enjoyed and if you have questions either leave a review or PM me and I'll get back to you on those. And this will be a Harry/Tavros/Gamzee thing so if you don't like that well don't read my story, I don't care, just don't flame me they will be ignored. Later!
