Hollow

Chapter 01: The Worse Journey

Harry stood on the platform that held the Hogwarts Express. It was hard to believe just four years ago he step onto this train as a happy eleven year old.

To Harry, it felt almost like a lifetime ago since he first step on the train. To him it was the only proof he had that he was different, he was someone, he was important. It was the only proof that reminded him that he was a wizard and there was a better place.

That better place he dreamed of for so long was now gone. He began to see the dark side of his paradise. It was in his second year that wizarding world was divided. There was hardly any unity. Death Eaters who were those who believed in what they called a 'pureblood' society.

It made Harry sick to his stomach when he realized they believed in hunting those who did not come from a magical family like they were rapid animals.

Another group was the Pro-Bloods. Purebloods who distrusted and look down upon anyone with muggle background. While many were supporters of the Death Eaters, they cared more about their own political power and gain.

It got worse, in June during the Third Task of the Triwizard Tournament. Harry felt so stupid because he walked straight into a trap. A trap that allowed the Dark Lord Voldemort, one of the worse Dark Lords to have ever exist return to power. It was worse as he was Harry's greatest nemesis.

Harry has never before been so scared for his life. Not even when the Dementors tried to feed on him.

Harry knew the only thing he could do was die with his head held high. Luck however, was once again on his side. A strange spell took effect the moment Harry's wand and Voldemort's wand connected. It caused Voldemort's former victims and those who he had killed to appear. Voldemort, it seemed was terrified. His mother and father both appeared and gave him their few words of encouragement before they told Harry to break the connection and return to Hogwarts.

Harry did so and immediately told Dumbledore. Unfortunately everyone in the arena could heard Harry's announcement. Panic was quick, but the Minister of Magic Cornelius Fudge was quick to restore order and assured everyone the Dark Lord was not back and was dead.

Dumbledore however announce Cedric Diggory was killed by Lord Voldemort.

Harry and the rest of the student body was sent home to the summer and that's where it went from bad to worse. He received no word about the magical world and his friends hadn't written to him. His aunt and uncle knew there was something bothering him, however that didn't stop them from making Harry do all the chores around the house.

They were wise to keep out of Harry's way as they realized he was close to breaking it. It soon got worse when Harry started making food for himself. Dudley complain loudly that Harry had better servings that he did, but a cold look from Harry that sent shivers down Petunai's back caused her for the first time to snap and criticize Dudley in hopes that Harry didn't use his 'freakishness' on them. Vernon wisely didn't say as he realized the dangers water they were walking on. Tension, was mounting high.

It got worse when two Dementors attack Harry in the park tunnel. If the tension was bad enough, it soon reach it's breaking point the Ministry sent a letter to Harry expelling him from Hogwarts. Vernon thought it would be a good idea to push Harry's button's but apparently it wasn't a good idea as Harry told him, if he's been expelled, then he wouldn't mind causing them pain until they couldn't live with themselves any longer. Vernon turn paled knowing that Harry wasn't serious.

In the end, members of the Order arrived and cool the situation by taking Harry away.

They took Harry deep in London, to a hidden house in the middle of a muggle town. Once inside Mrs. Weasley ushers Harry upstairs and simply told him not to come downstairs.

She disappears before locking the door behind her.

Apparently Ron and Hermione came in from the side door and as usual, Hermione began speaking in one breath. When she finally calmed down, Harry asks what was going on, but Hermione wasn't able to look him in the eye while Ron said Dumbledore told them not to say anything to Harry. They soon got into a argument about what was best. Hermione claimed Dumbledore was only doing it because it was best. Ron claimed Harry was being selfish and thought too much of himself.

Before anyone could stop it, spells were flying around. Harry, being better experience and talented, had Ron and Hermione on the ground moaning in pain.

The Order apparently heard the commotions and came upstairs to prevent Harry from doing any permitted damage to Ron and Hermione.

However, it was clear the friendship that they had since their first year, was over. Sirus pulled Harry aside as Ron was being taken care of their mother, and Hermione was getting check out by Tonks.

Harry opens his eyes and looks out at the train window and despite the sun shining out on the country side, he could dark clouds gathering and preparing for a storm., Harry couldn't be caught in it unprepared.

Harry cast a locking charm and a notice-me-not charm on the door before drifting to sleep. He knew the school year hasn't officially started, but things were already going to be bad.

Author Notes: I didn't want to write everything, but I never did get the friendship between Ron Hermione and Harry. Also, Ron is very childish and immature, Hermione is too selfish and self-righteous. For the time being Harry will alone and untrusting of others.
