I'd like to thank you people that read this. Particularly Leannamiko and Madd Girl. Both your reviews make me so happy. You answer all of my questions and give me feed back and it makes me feel as though I have two of the best reviews in the world. It makes me feel all happy I think you so much. Leannamiko you questions are all answered below and Madd Girl aw what a cute name for a dog. Princess Procrastination thank you very much for giving my story a shot and remember I'm only writing one fic not two. Blood wolfe 92... no worries and I've actually been toying with the idea of Hermione because she's stay with Harry for the entirety of the books. And I would love to write her character. Seems fun. Taylor1991 I hope you read more than just the first chapter. Magik Sause Of Death I have to admit I am kind of curious as to the injured umbrella, for example what color is he? Thanks you for reading
This whole redbo- what ever thing is screwing up my fic reading. They take down some of my faves and then some authors are freaking protesting, like the other day one of my fav fics that hasn't updated in forever is boycotting because of that freaking program and they updated for that I got soooo excited... I'm also losing readers too probably because cause of it. I want this to stop asap, but I don't think it's fair to the people waiting for an update to wait, so I'm also going to try and figure out deviant art... and remember my name and password
The orphanage, five days after the trip to the alley
Harry's POV:
Jesse reported Tom and Vera's conversation to me. I have to say I was a little worried with how suspicious. They are of me I wish I could find some way to divert their attention. You want a diversion? A voice said in my head, one I hadn't heard in a while. Ah, well hello death, I must admit I'm glad you don't appear as often as fate does. That would be all I need to wayward spirits that like to make my life hell and comment on it. In anyone else's life this would be weird, but mine? Completely normal. Yes, well she has a lot of time on her hands. I'm actually quite busy collecting souls most of the time. I'll provide you with quite a joyous because she is driving me to drink heavy amounts of alcohol, which let me tell is not a good thing, with her inane chatter. You'll appreciate it I'm sure. It may take a while though. Be patient. Uh well thank you death I guess I'll know what it is when it comes. He chuckled and made a noise that sounded like an affirmative.
I felt his presence leave my mind. He's a lot better than when fate comes for a visit, sure she can be helpful, but man can she be irritating. I HEARD THAT! Well then, why don't you stop listening?Because I find you love inner brooding monologues to be of high entertainment value. To be a spirit does one need to learn backwards speech to make things as confusing as possible? Yes. She said as she left with her laughter ringing in my ears- or rather my head, I believe the proper term would be? Would it kill a god or goddess out there to let me be normal. Forty voices suddenly resounded in my head as they said YES! In a highly affronted tone as if I just suggested a zombie apocalypse would be a good thing. Your life is like the spirit world's definition of soap opera. We particularly love that you can converse with us now. It makes it double the fun. Thanks fate love you guys too. Trilling laughter followed them as the spirits left.
I give up, my only to real friends are suspicious, Tom rightfully so, and Vera, well I'm not an immature idiot. Well Sean wasn't either, he only acted like that around her to lighten her up after her parents died. He was actually more like a cross between me and Hermione, with some of Ron's strategical ability. Ron. I feel immediately guilty. I should have stayed and beat down those death eaters. He was badly injured in the death eater attack. A spell hit him and caused him to have a minor stroke. I force the thoughts from my mind. I shouldn't think about it. It's in a future that will never come to pass. Or maybe it is the past who knows. I just want all the confusion to end.
I make a decision, one that may change everything. I finally find the resolve to make sure no one every suspects Sean Jim Harrison, is here only in memory and Harry James Potter is here in his place. With that conviction in mind, I'm going to have to try harder to make everyone, especially Vera, she is the one I have to totally convince, believe I am Sean. I can already feel the head ache coming on.
Tom's POV:
It's almost as though Harrison's personality has made a 180. He's still him, but it looks like he's moved out of his depression at seeing the people in the orphanage die. He still brood from time to time, but now when he's not playing with Vera and her friends, he reading, not wallowing like he was. He's actually the reason why were are being brought to the library today. He read everything in the orphanage and all the books from his vault. He's been on a roll. So he signed us up to chaperone the younger children's library trip.
Harrison took the other young children to the children's section, but Trevor said he wanted to go to the young adult section. I said I'd take him, so I could get away from the other loud children. They can be so annoying, at least Trevor is normally quite. He actually reminds me of me when I was younger. Well he doesn't scare the other kids, but he is very quite and studious. That's probably why I like him better than Vera's other friends I'm forced to play with. If it wasn't for books I wouldn't do it at all. Some times he is even more tolerable than the little blond brat.
I snap out of my musings when I see Trevor reaching for a book on a high shelf. I walk over to get it for him, but in comes off the shelf and floats down into his awaiting hand. I look at him for a moment before wandering over.
Trevor's POV:
When Harry said I could go with Tom to the young adult section I was very happy. The children's section is boring and doesn't have any interesting non fiction books that I like. Tom is kind of like my idol. Most people think he's scary, but a few years ago over the summer, he had to take us to the library like today. The other person wouldn't let me go over here, even though I wanted to, but Tom took me over here and threatened him about how if he ever hinder any one who wanted to learn like they did when he was little, bad things would happen. From then on, I got to go to this section.
I wanted this really cool book about amphibians and the librarian said it was over here. I couldn't reach it, but it came to me anyway. This has happened before, but I got yelled at one time by one of the older boys. I convinced him it didn't happen. Tom will be harder to trick.
Tom walks over to me "Do you know what you just did?" He asks.
"I stood on a stool and got the book." I say, praying he buys my story.
"Wrong." He says flatly. "You just did magic."
"What?" I ask confused.
"Magic is in fact real. I'm a wizard. You're a wizard, Harrison's a wizard and Vera's a witch." He says simply. "I know I should not be telling you this, but magic is real."
Tom's POV:
I decided to tell him about magic because I pictured if some one told me about it earlier, how happy I would've been. Well maybe not happy because I'm still not happy, but more content with life. I quickly do some wandless magic and have the book hover a few inches above his hands. "See." I tell him "That's magic."
"Wow. And you said Vera and Harry can do magic too?"
"That is correct. We are going to a school called Hogwarts. You will get to go there when your 11."
"But isn't Vera going with you guys? Why can't I go too?" That is a good question. This kid pays attention to detail.
"Vera and Harry qualify for siblings. They have been there for each other for over two year and Vera looks up to Harrison, like a real sibling. The major rule is that they child must be magical."
"So that means you could take me right? I mean I've been at the orphanage since I was 3 and I really look up to you. Your my role model. You can make people listen to you and you like to read and you seem powerful." Dam the kid is good. At least he picked the only role model worthy of his time.
"I'll see what I can do. In the mean time tell me about why I'm your role model."
Trevor's POV:
I told him about the time at the library and he seemed pleased. He went after Harry and I headed over to Vera.
"Hi, I know you're a witch." I say bluntly.
"What no I'm not I don't know what the heck you're talking about. You know it's really mean to call a girl a witch."
"Not if you a wizard." The look on her face was amazing like blatant shock and surprise mixed together.
"You a wizard?" She asks in disbelief.
"Yes, Tom just saw me levitate a book off a shelf and he told me all about magic and then he made a book hover inches above my hands. It was really cool."
"Will you get to go to Hogwarts with us?"
"I don't know. Tom's thinking about it.
She looks up at me (I'm two inches taller) with big blue eyes boring into mind. I can't help, but think she's very pretty. "I hope you can." She chirps excitedly.
Harry's POV:
Tom walks over to me with a content, yet some how scheming look in his eyes. "What is it?" I asked right off the bat.
"Trevor is a wizard." He says simply. "He wants me to take him to Hogwarts with me."
"Oh is he now?" I ask rhetorically "I had my suspicions. Well, take him. Vera will be happy for a familiar face. Tell Dumbledore that you've been making sure Trevor is okay and you had thought he was a wizard, but you personally never saw anything concrete and now that you have you think he'd be better off in a wizarding environment."
"How do you come up with this stuff automatically?" He asks.
"I'm good at debating." I say with a smile, well Sean is good at debating and it rub off. It's one of his more useful talents.
"Well I suppose I'll write Fumble them."
Vera's POV:
Trev and I crept up to the book case behind Harry and Tom. "You hear that Trev? You might be coming to Hogwarts with us. It should be so much fun!"
"But what if Dumbledore says no?"
"Don't worry you're going. I'll sneak you in my trunk if I have to."
"Thanks." I look at him closely the bridge of light freckles that he hate and auburn hair with amazingly bright honey eyes shining with hopefulness. I hope he can come.
Okay so from now on every Saturday or Sunday you will get chapters a little longer than this one. This has a lot of information and foreshadowing in will be a main character. There will one other. I had no idea where this was going until I had the vision of Trevor in the library.
