A/N: Sorry for the lack of updates.. I'm glad the majority of you guys like this story. For those of you who are confused, questions about the plot and story in general should be answered in this chapter. If you're still confused, feel free to e-mail me and I'd be happy to explain to you (
Chapter 3: Whos that? WHAT! That's not my Godson!
As the hours turned into days, and the days into weeks Harry grew more and more comfortable at The Factory. While he dearly missed the wizarding world and all that came with it, including Ron and Hermione, he knew it was for the best that he stayed away from it. Even though Harry's life wasn't ideal anymore (Harry snorted here, and thought to himself 'as if it has EVER been ideal) he was happy.
The current boy in question, the famous Harry Potter was presently sitting on the floor of the small chipped and mildewing bathroom puking for all he was worth.
"That's right, babe. Just let it all come out" Kylie said softly with a hint of amusement in her voice as she rubbed his back soothingly. She had been sitting next to him for the past 20 minutes rubbing his back and talking encouragingly while he vomited the previous night's beer up.
Once he was finished Harry looked up at her and smiled, "Thanks, I appreciate it" he said sheepishly.
"Anytime!" She said with a grin and picked herself up off the floor. "Now! I'm gonna go see how Magda and Riley are doin' you gonna be okay sweet cheeks? "
"Yeah" Harry answered getting up gingerly, he was still quite sore from doing those acrobatics on the table. As he made his was to the room that he shared with 4 other girls he had to step over the random passed out bodies of his friends and strangers. 'Man' Harry thought to himself. 'That was some party last night. Heck! It's some party every night!' Harry had finally reached his room on the 2nd floor of the factory and burst in without knocking. He was awarded with the sight of his 'roommate' having sex with her boyfriend on his bed.
"Oh jeez, Spike! Do you have to do that on my bed? Your bed is like 4 feet away you could have at least made it that far at the very least!" Harry complained hotly while adverting his eyes.
"S-s-sorry Har' yours was closer to the door!" She said gasping for breath, "Use my bed for whatever you need right now, were almost finished anyways."
"Right." Harry said rolling his eyes. He flopped down on to Spike's rickety twin bed and put her headphones on effectively blocking out the sounds in the bedroom.
Harry thought back to the previous month, and mostly about Kylie. While she was beautiful in almost every way imaginable she still had her many personality flaws. She was heavy smoker for one, and would take everyone down with her who was a non smoker. Including Harry himself. She also had a way of never being wrong that irked Harry to no end and had caused numerous violent arguments between the two of them.
'And she's a witch' Harry thought. He smiled briefly but it slowly slipped away as if it had never been there. She goes to Durmstrang in Bulgaria which is why she has such an odd accent that I couldn't place at first. 'Her parents are deatheaters. SHE'S a deatheater' Harry thought. 'She's everything that I've been sworn to fight against since I was born. But she's different.' Said the little voice in the back of his head.
Slowly his thoughts drifted away from Kylie to the Wizarding world. 'I wonder what's been happening since I left' he thought bitterly. 'I bet they don't even notice I'm gone. Or actually, scratch that. They noticed that Harry Potter and all his fame and glory is gone, but me... not myself is missing.." Harry thought unhappily.
'Sirius.' Harry thought suddenly. 'He knew me for me.'
'No, he didn't' said a nasty voice in the back of his head. 'He only thought of you as James. He looks at you and sees his best friend staring back at him.' Harry gave an angry yell and punched the wall next to him. There was a yelp from the other bed and a loud thud.
"Jeez Harry, were done, were done!" Spike said irritably. She and her boyfriend left in a hurry knowing how Harry could be when he was in one of his moods. Harry sighed, and rolled over shutting the music off and closing his eyes praying for sleep to take him.
Meanwhile..
"Moony!" Sirius bellowed from the bottom of the stairs. "Moony! Get down here! You'll never believe this." Remus Lupin rolled over in his bed and looked at the clock. It was 9:30 a.m. with a groan he pulled himself out of bed and grabbed his bathrobe off the desk chair making his way sleepily towards the stairs.
"MOONY!" Sirius bellowed again.
Remus rolled his eyes, 'ever the patient one, Sirius.' He thought grumpily. He raised his voice and called hoarsely "Coming!"
As he descended the stairs he saw Sirius at the bottom bouncing on the balls of his feet like a little kid excited about Christmas day.
He smiled tiredly and made his was to the kitchen to make a pot of coffee "Whats up Sirius?"
"It's Harry, Moony!"
Remus instantly perked up. "What about him?" he asked sitting down in the hard chair.
"I've caught a whiff of him while I was out taking a walk in my animagus form!"
Remus frowned. "You know you shouldn't be going out. The landlord doesn't really want us to have pets and he'll throw us out if he catches you coming back and forth."
Sirius waved it aside impatiently. "But Moony! He's here! He's here in Muggle London. On some rundown street called 32nd street. We HAVE to go and get him!"
"Sirius, calm down. We'll get him, don't worry. That's the whole reason we rented this duplex out was so we could bring him back here and help him. We need to wait till night though. I won't have you getting us kicked out of another apartment. And a pretty nice one too" He added smugly.
"But—"
"NO Sirius, were waiting till nighttime"
Sirius glared at Remus, but grudgingly agreed. Remus gave a wide smile and said cheerily "Well now that that's settled shall we have some breakfast?"
As the hours went by Sirius became more and more anxious. He hoped that Harry was all right. What if he was scared? Or hurt? Or even dead? Sirius would never forgive himself. Not for letting down Lily and James again. He would make things right, even if it killed him. After what seemed like an eternity night finally fell and Remus' soft voice came to Sirius through the door of his bedroom.
"Padfoot? It's time to go."
Meanwhile...
"CHUG! CHUG! CHUG!" the crowd screamed. Harry was currently on his fourth beer and was trying to out chug the guy next to him for all he was worth. Finally, he set down an empty beer glass on the table with a 'chink' and the crowd went nuts.
Harry grinning stupidly said "YES! I am lord chugger munker uhh thinger!"
He laughed and felt arms encircle him, pulling him away from the crowd. Kylie pulled him over to a less crowded part of the room and kissed him soundly on the lips.
Harry looked down at her in surprise and said "What was that for?"
She grinned mysteriously and replied "Just for being so damn sexy. By the way I love that tattoo that you got"
Harry looked down at his tribal tattoo that was circling his left bicep and grinned.
"Me too. Did you see my eyebrow ring yet?"
She didn't respond however, as she was currently lighting up on her 8th cigarette today. Harry took the pack from her and took one out and held it to the light she was holding towards him. He smiled at her and breathed in deeply.
"It looks freakin hott" she purred. Harry raised an eyebrow. He knew that tone of voice quite well by now to know that she was feeling frisky. He gave her and impish grin and put an arm around her back to draw her closer.
"Shall we go to a more private room?" He asked in her ear. She giggled. But before she could answer a loud shout rang out through the party.
"POLICE! Everybody run!"
"Shit" Harry muttered, he grabbed Kylie's hand and pulled her toward the door. Racing through it as the police entered through the back way they just barely made it out in time. As they and many other's ran down the darkened street Harry tripped on a stone falling on the soft grass of a neighbor's yard. Kylie turned around made to help him up but he exclaimed "Don't stop for me, keep going!" She gave him a fleeting look before running off into the night. Harry flipped over onto his back and put the still lit cigarette up to his mouth taking a large puff. He continued to lay there for a few minutes until a familiar voice said
"HARRY!?"
(A/N: I was tempted to leave it there...)
Meanwhile..
Remus grinned broadly. As he and Sirius walked down their street to Harry's Remus gave a sharp tug on Sirius' leash.
"Now, Now Snuffles! Don't get to far ahead of me now."
Sirius promptly growled as if to say 'You'll pay for this later' Remus just laughed. They continued to walk for about 15 minutes longer before a group of teenagers came hurdling past them. One shouting frantically:
"Wait! WAIT! Harry tripped back there, we should wait for him at the corner!"
"Screw Harry! I'm not getting caught by the police again!" A boy with dark blue hair yelled back. As the continued on their way, Remus and Sirius exchanged worried glances and Sirius instantaneously changed back into a human.
"Sirius! Are you mad!? What if a muggle sees you?" Remus hissed.
"My only concern at this point is my godson" Sirius snapped, ripping the collar off his throat and sprinting down the street leaving Remus to huff and puff behind him.
"Damn it, Sirius!" Remus wheezed once he caught up with him, "Don't go so fast!"
But Sirius wasn't paying attention to Remus, he was looking at the dark haired youth laying on the grass calming puffing away on his cigarette.
"What're you just standing their for? Harry's street is that!" Remus exclaimed pointing down the way they had run from. Sirius, still ignoring Remus took a step closer and gasped.
"HARRY!?"
"What..?" Remus asked weakly then he took a good look at the startled youth that had sat up at the sound of his name. Only it wasn't Harry. This boy was to tall to be him, he was also slightly muscular with a mop of messy dark hair with streaks of bold green in them. His eyes traveled over the pierced eyebrow to the fierce tribal tattoo. No, definitely not their Harry. But then... He looked at his brilliant green eyes, and his eyes traveled up farther.... To reveal a lightening bolt shaped scar.
Remus gasped and sputtered "Harry?"
Harry, who was quite startled to see his former professor and godfather gawking at him in the dead of night while he puffed on his cigarette, grinned.
"Heeeey! Siri! Remmie ole boy how's it hangin'?!" Harry slurred. He got up off the grass, took a final puff of his cigarette and put it out on the palm of his hand to shock of the two men standing in front of him.
Sirius instantly became angry. "Your drunk" he accused.
"No shit Sherlock" was the bitter reply. "Now if you don't excuse me I need to go find my friends."
"Oh no you don't Harry, your coming with us" Sirius started forward, and grabbed Harry's upper arm in surprisingly strong grip. Harry began to struggle almost immediately.
"Gerroff me you overgrown mutt!" Harry yelped drunkenly.
"Moony! Help me!" Sirius cried exasperatedly. Remus who was still in quite a state of shock was shaken out of his stupor when Harry suddenly swung his fist around and clocked Sirius in the nose with it.
"OW!" exclaimed Sirius letting go of Harry and grabbing his nose. "Harry! What was that for?"
"I" Harry drew himself up and grinned cheerfully "am not 'Arry Potter. I am Lord Chuggs a lot"
Remus couldn't help it. He snorted. 'Lord Chugs a lot? Give me a break'. He reached down and grabbed a pebble and muttered.
"portus"
Then he looked up and said "OY, Lord Chugs a lot! Catch this!" and with that he threw the pebble at Harry.
Harry grinned stupidly and caught it. His look of happiness soon turned to one of anger as he was whisked off to Remus' and Sirius' place. "Are you all right Sirius?" Remus asked Sirius, who was still gaping at the spot where Harry had been only moments before.
"We need to get back to your place, and quickly Remus" Sirius said gravely.
And with that, the apparated.
A/N: Well.. its like 3 in the morning, so I'm certain that this was complete rubbish with the grammar and spelling. By the way.. Was it still confusing? Does ANYONE know how I can make the italics work? Annnnd.... Were getting to the whole bonding part soon, don't worry.
By the way.. Just a poll: Should I keep Kylie in? Or should she go away or something?
