Title: Worse Than Selling Your Soul, Chapter 1
Hands trailed over the wooden shelves lovingly and longingly. Harry sighed as he tuned out the voice of the realtor, he wanted this house. He wanted the long stair case and the marble floors. Eyes glinting in determination, he turned towards the lady who was motioning towards the fireplace, and decided to interrupt her. "How much?"
"I- Excuse me?" She looked at him in confusion.
"I asked how much the price of the house was." Green eyes watched in amusement as she tried to find the price in her papers.
"Well, its $200,000 for the basics, but if you add in everything in here... It would be $275,000. I know it's a rather large price, but the house is just so beautifully made. The sellers wouldn't go for anything less." The woman twirled her brown hair around her finger and nervously bit her lip.
Harry thought about it for a moment. "I'll take it. Where do I sign?"
The realtor gaped at him.

Harry hummed lightly as he rocked Teddy to sleep. The seven month baby was finally sleeping through the night, and Harry couldn't have been more happy. The first few months after he had taken over being Teddy's parent had been a nightmare. Screaming and crying had kept him up at all hours of the night, and he had not had any idea of how to be a parent.
"Carry on my wayward son, there will be peace when you are done.." Harry sang softly, calming the infant down. "Lay your weary head to rest... Don't you cry no more..." Wincing, Harry knew he had butchered the lyrics. 'Oh well,' he thought, it was expected when you hadn't heard the song in a couple of weeks.
Harry watched as Teddy finally succumbed to sleep and with a small smile, he gently placed him in his crib. Teddy Lupin had been orphaned at the age of two months, and Harry had adopted him just days after. When Remus and Tonks had died, it had been a shock to Harry. Both had survived the wars with Voldemort, and to be killed by a drunk driver was heart breaking.
Walking out of the baby room, he headed down the hallway to his room. Softly opening the door, he strode inside before collapsing on his bed. His second day at McKinley High School had been tiring. Glee Club audition, and acquainting himself with the school children, and just trying to blend in.. His eye twitch, he completely failed. Besides the fact that he had apparently joined "Homo Explosion" and the Football Team at the same time kind of fucked him over in the "stay anonymous" department.
It probably wasn't a good idea to mention that he was gay. Not a good idea at all...
Rubbing a hand over his face, Harry sighed. The clock showed that it was only nine at night, but he was already exhausted. And he had another day of school tomorrow. Another day of torture... Well, damn, he was already getting into the teenager mindset. Chuckling quietly to himself Harry jumped as his cell phone buzzed.
"Hello?" Harry frowned as he saw the unknown number displayed on screen. He didn't tell a lot of people his number..
"Hey, Harry." It was a man, that was for sure. He had a deep, husky voice.
"Who is this?" Harry bit his lip.
"Aw, Harry baby, I'm hurt that you don't remember me. It's Marcus, your best friend..." The man, now dubbed Marcus, had a teasing quality to his tone.
Harry smiled as he heard the name. "Hey Mark. How are you doin'?" 'It's been a while,' Harry thought with a small frown. 'He wouldn't be calling if he wasn't in trouble.'
"I'm good, surprisingly. I was just sitting here and was thinking about how much I missed your humor. It's been boring here since you up and let a few weeks ago."
"Uh huh," Harry replied. "What's really going on?"
"Nothing!" Marcus sounded hurt. "You don't believe me?"
"Nope." And it was the truth. Even if Marcus was Harry's best friend, it didn't mean he wasn't a Slytherin. "Seriously, what do you want."
"Want is such a petty word... Need is a much better word." He was stalling, Harry realized. Something was up, and it was something big.
Sighing, Harry rubbed the bridge of his nose. He officially could feel a head ache coming on. "What do you need, Marcus?" Merlin damn him if he was going to let the man get away without actually coming out and saying what he needed.
"I need a place where Theo can crash for a while. I know you two aren't the best of friends, but his father is in a lot of trouble, and man, I love him. He just needs to get away and I figured another country was far enough. Please? I'm beginning you, Harry. I'll pay for his rent and anything he breaks or eats. I swear!"
Harry turned onto his stomach, placing the phone away from his body for the moment. Groaning loudly, harry used the pillow to muffle the sound of despair. He had barely sort of settled in, and now Marcus wanted to send Theodore Nott to live with him? "Why?" Harry whined.
"...Didn't I just go through the reasons?" Sarcasm, wonderful.
A sigh from Harry, "I'm not even settled yet... Couldn't you send him to Blaise in Australia?"
"Nope, Blaise has a sweet little thing living with him. No room for Theo, no matter how much I begged. You were my last chance. Please...?" Marcus trailed off and Harry could just imagine big blue eyes widening and his lower lip jutting out.
"Ugh... Fine. But I am not happy about it."
All Harry could hear after that was Marcus's delighted shouts and he felt his life spiraling out of control. "Great, just fucking great." He snapped his phone closed and proceeded to try to suffocate himself with the pillow. Death was obviously the only option now.

When he woke up next it was to Teddy wailing and the sound of crashing. He jumped from his bed and ran out of the door and into the living room. He watched in horror as bag after bag was coming through the fireplace. After a good amount of bags, a young man around his age gracefully stepped out. "Hello, Harry. Thank you for letting me crash here on such short notice. Where will I be staying?"
A moan caught in his throat as he thought about the mess he would have to clean in the morning. Lifting a shaky hand, he pointed to the stairs. "Third door on the right. Try not to break anything else."
As Teddy's cries increased in volume, Harry felt like crying. Glancing at the clock he saw it was four am. He had school in three hours.
Things just got worse and worse, didn't they?
A/N: Thank you so very much to the few people who reviewed. They honestly made my day. Thank you to the people who favoured/alerted... However, I like reviews just as much :D My goal is to get to the overall number of 15-20 reviews with this chapter. Haha
So, introduced two new characters. Yeah, lets welcome Teddy and Theo. I couldn't leave them behind, so they got packed into this story.
