Chapter 2- Home
Harry stood on a hilltop overlooking the vast expanse of nothing his broom grasped tightly in his hand, up here he was a no one up here nothing could touch him. He found he quite liked being unknown he never imagined that being somebody else could be so liberating so free, he could do what he wanted when he wanted and nobody questioned him, in fact nobody bothered him at all there was no knocks on his door of people wanting to greet him and even when he passed someone in the hallway neither was there a look thrown his way. After years of wanting a life away from the fame of Harry Potter he had finally found it. Looking at his watch he sighed it was Friday and any moment now he would return to being Harry Potter the prophesied one, but until then he would remain anonymous. Straddling his broom he made the long descent back to the inn soon he would be going home. The word sounded funny on his lips he had once thought of the burrow as home somewhere to return to when he had enough of everyday life, but despite the welcome of the Weasley's he had still never felt that overwhelming presence of belonging and now the feeling of wanting burned his very essence and pressed at his insides, he was so close to that feeling that he could almost taste. But if there was one thing that Harry had learnt over the years it was that expectations were better left alone because they were guaranteed to be a disappointment. Slowly he's feet touched the ground and he entered the inn.
Kalina was talking to Gotoda the man he had met on his first night here there rare meetings were strained and unpleasant, he was a large burly man with unkind eyes his presence was held constantly at distain and Harry had no idea why such a man would ever consider running such a place. He walked in further they were in the kitchen and Harry could make out the signs of arguing.
"I don't trust that boy, there's something shady about him"
"You say that about every one"
"Yeah but this boy there's something strange, the noises he makes when he sleeps it's not natural"
"Maybe it's nightmares"
Gotoda scoffed "a boy his age"
"Leave it alone" insisted Kalina "I've got my eye on him, and I'm not so sure you should be going of alone with him" Harry paused they were talking about him he didn't have night mares did he, he inched closer
"That almost sounded like worry"
He scoffed again" I just can't afford for you to get into trouble where else will I get help from"
"I'll be back, beside Emilin helping while I'm away"
"That girl's far too nosy for her own good and don't go changing the subject"
"Oh I wasn't, look I'm old enough to go anywhere I want to and don't you go bullying anyone while I'm away"
Gotoda sniffed "they pretty much keep themselves to themselves"
"Good now that settled I must get going" Harry heard some shuffling and ran to the door closing it he pretended he had just entered, looking up he saw Mr Gotoda with red cheeks. Acting as if he hadn't noticed him Harry swept past him into the kitchen.
"Oh you're here early" said Kalina cheerfully as she empted the dishes from the draining board into the cupboards.
"Yeah" he was getting good as evasive responses and one word answers
"Well we should be going" she turned and smiled to him glancing at his broom she asked "you can use magic can't you" Harry nodded "Can you apparate?" he nodded again "Good, but I think you've got the right idea with the brooms, to risky to use floo" she walked over to the doorway "accio broom" she waved her wand and then a broom came zooming into the room "I'm not terribly great on these things, are you a good flier"
"Not bad" she nodded "maybe we should just take the one then, less likely to be spotted" she nodded to his broom "you don't mind do you" Harry frowned he did mind but he gave her his broom anyway "just a simple quickening spell to make us go faster" she performed a quickening spell on the broom and then handed it back and then banished back her own broom. "lets go" they walked in silence outside when Harry stopped them performing a disillusionment charm on both of them he felt the cold and wet trickling sensation down his back and knew the spell was effective "just so we're not spotted" they climbed on his broom and he climbed higher once he reached a sufficient distance he stopped and she pointed in the direction they should do. He learnt forward and was surprised how fast he was flying the clouds scaled past him at an alarming rate and if Kalina wasn't on the back he would have attempted to do some fancy dives. They flew for what seemed like hours but after another effective charm from Kalina he no longer felt the cold. There were no longer houses but just Rocky Mountains down below "Down Harry" she mumbled in his ear as they pulled downwards. She climbed off his broom and Harry smiled as she thought to keep her legs from shaking "that was fast" she breathed
"Yeah" said Harry wispfully as he undone he's spell "where now"
She smiled "here" she gestured to a big rock, walking forward she felt along the rock "aah here it is" she grabbed Harry's arm and yanked him forward "keep your eyes closed and your wand out" she then pulled him again and Harry felt the floor give way beneath him then stop. She stood up "now that's what I call flying" she pulled him out of the long slide "welcome to the Hollow".
Harry stood and took in the area, there were rows of houses a picturesque image as he walked slowly behind her, the grass was green the house all white picket fences and stone walls. This was home he thought. "Come on Harry" she called and he realised he was a mile behind "so many people live here now" he asked once he caught up with her
"A few" she nodded "but as we get closer it's hardly inhabitable" side by side they walked in silence until Harry stopped. There in front of him was a little boy on a bike his father beckoning him to pedal towards him, the mother standing by a table serving food but a faint smile playing on her lips. This could have been Harry. "Hey Mr Damascat" waved Kalina
The man stood up and Harry froze "Kalina" she laughed and went up to hug him "that's my friend" she paused "Tom" Mr Damascat looked over her head and beckoned Harry over "nice to meet you young man" he took Harry's hand in his own and gripped it "Vera, come meet this nice young man Kalina brought over" Vera walked over and shook his hand "would you two like to stay for lunch"
"We can't we've got to be going maybe later"
"That's a shame" she looked over at her son "Tommy would have liked to have some people to play with him"
"We'll come back" replied Kalina as she waved and pulled Harry along "sorry about that" she said and they continued to walk. The air seemed to get colder and the sky darker the closer they walked dead grass crunched beneath their feet as they walked side by side, Harry gripped his wand he's life line. "Look are you sure you want to do this" she asked. Harry ignored her and kept walking a mantra playing in his head not to far now must keep going, not to far now must keep going. "Fine" she whispered as they continued an uphill journey Harry stopped at the peak of the hill and looked at his home.
If Harry had wished for a home he wasn't sure whether this was how he imagined it, parts of it fitted his ideal such as the little plague which read 'POTTERS' but the cold feeling surrounding the house was almost worst than the Dudsley's place. He inched closer and wondered whether his house would have been like the Demascat's house if his parents survived, he pulled out the key and opened the door almost in a dream like state but as soon as his foot entered the threshold his mind was thrown back in time.
"Lily Lily look" called out James as he walked the hallway Harry held at arms length "he's smiling" he gently shook him and lowered him so his wife could see
"Oh James" she gushed as she took Harry into her arms and hugged him "oh our precious baby boy, I see great things for you"
"Yeah" nodded James "this ones going to be a wild one" he trailed after his wife into the living room
"No way is he following in your footsteps James Potter"
"But he will 'cause he's a Potter" Harry let out a giggle and James smiled "Will you look at that he agreed"
"Oh no" cried out Lily "two Potters"
James laughed and encompassed his family into he's arms "no that's three Potters" she laughed again "only time will tell if there's more"
"Are you hinting at something Lily I knew hanging out with the school rebel would do something to you?" she laughed and hugged Harry "Oh James he's such a precious little boy"
"Great things I expected from him great things"
"Harry, Harry" Harry found himself being shaken awake by Kalina "oh thank goodness I thought you were dying" Harry struggled to sit up and found himself on the couch she smiled sheepish "I used a levitation charm"
"What's happened?"
She sat beside him "I'm not sure, you fainted I suppose, you were out for a while" he nodded as his dream returned, looking around he spied the mantle piece that appeared in his dream frames littered the top and he walked over to it. He picked up the first and there was a picture of his parent in Hogwarts, the others consisted of James and his school friends, Lilly and her friends or the two of them together but the last was a family shot. "It wasn't a dream" whispered Harry as he set the picture back down
Kalina sat unmoving unsure of what she should be doing but watched Harry like an eagle, she had her mission. "Do you want some time alone" Harry turned to her only just remembering that she was here he shrugged as he walked out the room and up the stairs, they creaked underneath his weight as he progressed. Stopping at the top of the stairs he examined the doors, his scar burning as he looked at the door on the left he cautiously inched closer his wand out for attack as he opened it. There in the middle of the room was Harry's crib and above that was a picture of baby Harry with the key around his neck, painted on the key was an insignia with a 'G' and written beneath was the words The pride of Gordric Gryffindor. Suddenly the weight of the key burned a hole in his pocket and he threw it out the third Horcruxes he thought. Turning to Kalina who was standing in the doorway he asked "what else are you hiding?"
