AN The songs in this chapter are not mine and will not ever possibly be mine. Welcome To My Life by Simple Plan and You And Me by Lifehouse are the songs in this chapter. You And Me has a couple lyrics changed to he and that is all. and I do not own Harry Potter no matter how much I wished I did. I did not get this story looked over for mistakes so if you are willing to do so for me and message me the corrections that would be great. Also this is my first story so could you please keep it on the low for rude comments I already know It sucks. I will probably post the next chapter in the next couple weeks (I work a full time job and hardly have any free time but I will work on every spare second)
Chapter One
Harry was nervous, that's all he can describe his feelings with. He was up next and he could see everyone from Hogwarts in the audience, though they didn't know it was him. He wore a glamour to hide his raven hair and green eyes and to cover his scar. Harry Potter, The-Boy-Who-Lived, now sported blonde hair and green/blue eyes and was now known as Hadrian James, singer/songwriter. Harry completely changed his life in the past five years since he ran away at 15 from the wizarding world and Britain. He went straight to California in America and ran into a record label manager while playing his guitar and singing at a local café. Him and Sam Banks became fast friends and he was offered a contract. He took it instantly and quickly his songs hit top charts all around the world and was especially popular in the wizarding world. He is here in Britain for the first time since running away for a month on tour. Harry was playing in both the muggle and wizarding world. Right now he was playing at the quidditch pitch they had used for the quidditch world cup six years ago. He saw his former friends and crush on the audience, it was now or never. He got on the lift, a sonorous charm already cast. The audience screamed as soon as they saw him, making him smile. He soon started the concert with his favorite song.
Do you ever feel like breaking down?
Do you ever feel out of place
Like somehow you just don't belong
And no one understands you?
Do you ever wanna run away?
Do you lock yourself in your room
With the radio on turned up so loud
That no one hears you're screaming?
No, you don't know what it's like
When nothing feels alright
You don't know what it's like
To be like me
To be hurt, to feel lost
To be left out in the dark
To be kicked when you're down
To feel like you've been pushed around
To be on the edge of breaking down
And no one's there to save you
No, you don't know what it's like
Welcome to my life
He loved writing and singing that song, it made him think about all he went through with the wizarding world. He left soon after Sirius died, he had overheard a conversation between his so called friends.
Flashback
-Harry had just left the Headmaster's office when he passed what he thought was an abandoned classroom. He heard his friends voices, he was about to just walk past it when he heard his name being mentioned. Harry quickly cast a disillusionment charm on himself and a charm to silence his feet and crept into the room. Ron, Hermione, and Ginny were sitting in a circle facing each other and talking as if they were talking about the weather. "Potter will soon be back from the Headmaster so we should hurry", Harry was taken aback by the hate in Hermiones' voice when she said his last name.
Confused, Harry walked closer to hear more of the conversation. "I can't wait until the asshole dies when You-Know-Who kills him." 'Ron' Harry thought and to think, he was my best mate!
Ginny was next to talk, setting everything he thought about since second year into motion. "Just wait until I marry him first Ron. We need his money! Dumbledore has been paying us to get close to him for a reason you know."
Harry froze up for a moment then moved out the room, canceling his charm when he was a safe distance away. He wondered around the castle deep in thought unknowingly making his way to the dungeons. Harry turned left running headfirst into Professor Snape.
"My, my, my, what do we have here. Potter what are you doing down here at this hour?" Shape drawled. In his thoughts, Severus was thinking something completely different. 'Has Potter always been so beautiful' shaking his head internally the thought went away.
Harry opened his mouth and then closed it. He thought for a moment then responded. "Sir can we talk in private where no one can overhear?" "This isn't something I want overheard." He explained
Severus froze for a moment before walking to his office knowing without looking Ha-Potter was following him. He sat at his desk motioning Potter to take a seat which he did. Seversus had always liked Potter though he didn't show it even more now that he is close to being of-age. He thought he was the opposite of what the Headmaster had wanted him to think. Harry would never feel the same way though he sighed in his head before turning back to Potter.
Harry started explaining what had happened in the Headmasters' office and what he overheard quickly jumping into his thoughts of running since the end of second year. He finished and waited on Snapes' input. Harry sat in silence for a few minutes as it was all processed. He had always had a crush on the man since third year that's why he spilled all this to him of course Snape will never feel the same he thought.
Severus was shocked! He started planning with Harry before he realised it, giving him ideas and telling him what he should do before he put his plans in action. They planned for hours and Harry knew he would stay in contact with Severus and assure the man of it and his new name.
End flashback
Harry focused on Severus in the crowd, catching his eye, and finished the concert with his most famous song and recent song. He had written it for Severus not that the man knew, though he will when he hears it. They have grown close in the past five years through constant letters and Severus visited him a few times. They never spoke about his most recent visit thankfully.
Flashback
Harry and Severus sat in the backstage lounge room talking and having a good time. "I need to go soon. It's getting late and you need to get back to your hotel." Severus said getting up. Harry followed him to the door where they turned to each other to say goodbye. Harry caught himself getting lost in Severus' black eyes and couldn't look away. Leaning in, he kissed Seveus on the lips. He couldn't believe how soft they were! He got lost in the kiss, once he realised he was being kissed back!
Harry came to his senses a couple minutes later, pulling away he looked at Severus with wide eyes. "I'll see you in Britain" Severus says, turning away in leaving. Harry wasn't hurt, he knew Severus kissed him back so he watched him leave confused.
End of Flashback
Harry shook his head nervously, Severus was coming to see him during meet and greet and knew they would talk about the kiss, and started singing.
What day is it? And in what month?
This clock never seemed so alive
I can't keep up and I can't back down
I've been losing so much time
'Cause it's you and me and all of the people with nothing to do, nothing to lose
And it's you and me and all of the people
And I don't know why I can't keep my eyes off of you
All of the things that I want to say just aren't coming out right
I'm tripping on words
You got my head spinning
I don't know where to go from here
'Cause it's you and me and all of the people with nothing to do, nothing to prove
And it's you and me and all of the people
And I don't know why I can't keep my eyes off of you
Something about you now
I can't quite figure out
Everything he does is beautiful
Everything he does is right
'Cause it's you and me and all of the people with nothing to do, nothing to lose
And it's you and me and all of the people
And I don't know why I can't keep my eyes off of you
And me and all of the people with nothing to do and nothing to prove
And it's you and me and all of the people
And I don't know why I can't keep my eyes off of you
What day is it?
And in what month?
This clock never seemed so alive
Harry finished the song still looking at Severus gauging his reaction. Severus was smiling and looking at him in a way he hasn't noticed before. He smiled back and thanked the crowd before leaving the stage. Harry met with fans in the meet and greet room most of whom he recognized from Hogwarts. The Weasleys in line made him pause for a moment before continuing the pause going unnoticed.
Severus walked up behind Harry without him noticing. He knew he only had a moment before Harry noticed his magic. Severus grabbed Harry's hand and spun him around kissing him squaring on the lips before Harry reacted. Gasps and cries of outrage (in the case of the Weasleys) were heard from the line of fans hoping to get a chance to talk to 'Hadrian'.
Harry sighed in the kiss before pulling away and smiling at Severus muttering "Hello to you to." before turning and continued with all the meet and greets. The Weasleys were next, Ginny came bounding up to him "Are you dating that snake!? That's disgusting!" Harry swiftly replied seeing Sev nod, face furious "Yes we are dating though I don't see how it is any of your business. I do not know you or even your name Miss. Me and Severus have known each other for ten years now in fact he was my potion professor at Hogwarts! So I think I know him a lot better than you." Harry turned back to Severus smiling whispering "We will talk about this later."
Severus couldn't believe his ears, Harry, his Harry liked him back? He like doing the most idiotic grin ever. Severus wouldn't have thought it in a million years until Harry had kissed him that day. He didn't believe at first when Harry told him what happened in the conversation he had heard but he knew Dumbledore was an manipulative asshole so it didn't take long to help Harry plan. He knew Dumbledore had planned for Ginerva to marry Harry then to let him die in battle so he can then swoop in and take the credit of killing Voldemort. Severus did not agree at all with those plans and told Harry so as soon as he told him of Dumble's plans. Dumbledore claims he made Severus act like a bully to the student because of the Death Eater children he teaches but Severus knew it was so Harry would hate him, thankfully he did not succeed. Severus stepped away from 'Hadrian' so he could continue the meet and greet.
Harry was giddy, Severus had told him with that kiss that he definitely liked him back. Harry posed for the next picture, the fan smiling the whole time. The next group was the Weasleys, Harry groaned inwardly and looked at Severus who gave him a 'get it over with' look. He sighed and motioned to security to move the next group forward. Ginny came bounding over to him, sending the security and Severus on edge. Hugging him and talking nonstop about how much she loved him 'Hadrian' and his music. He shrugged and posed with the family and moved on to the next fan. Harry soon started getting dizzy for some reason suddenly collapsing freaking out the fan who was posing with him. Harry reassured her that it was an allergic reaction to an ingredient in a potion he was exposed to in the last fifteen minutes, freaking her out more. The fan was looking at him in concern, and he noticed a resemblance to someone he couldn't place at the moment. He was freaking out and angry on the inside, one of his fans tried to give him Amortentia, he knew because he was allergic to a certain ingredient in it that is only used in the love potion. Harry knew who it was and he was pressing charges. Ginny was just as Psychotic as he remembered and even more of a whore that's for sure.
Severus was worried and pissed, he knew Ginny was up to something, she was acting like more of a weasel then usual. Sam had closed down the meet and greet as soon as Harry started getting dizzy, he had to assure the fan that 'Hadrian' will be fine and she could come visit him personally to meet him before the rest of the fans who didn't get the chance to that night in three days time. Severus moved over to Harry, pulling out his shrunken potions pouch on the way. Harry was on the ground, a rash already covering his body, Severus pulled out a potion just for allergic reactions. He poured it down Harry's throat and pulled him into his arms, apparating to Harry's hotel room and set him on the bed before sitting down and waiting for the potion to take effect.
Harry slowly felt better, everything was coming into focus again, his rash was disappearing as well. He was happy Severus was there Merlin knew how long it would've been otherwise. Harry can't wait to send that letter with Hedwig pressing charges against Ginerva Weasley. He would be happy to give up his identity in the wizarding world if it meant bringing her and Molly, because Ginerva definitely did not make that potion, down. If he showed his memories for the conversation, he will also bring Ronald, and Hermione down for threatening the life of Lord Potter-Griffendor-Peverall-Emrys-Ravenclaw-Black-Slytherin. 'yes' he thought, 'it's time for the wizarding world to know that Hadrian James is Harry James Potter-Black .
