Chapter 4 ~ Arriving at the orphanage
Summery: This is an AU where Harry had been sent to an abusive orphanage that fateful night. This is also beginning at the end of Harry's fifth year at Hogwarts.

When Harry arrived in the muggle part of kings cross station he started to look for David. David was one of the people who worked in the muggle orphanage. Although unlike the other people who worked there David was one of the most kind and generous people Harry had ever met in his entire life. David had bright brown hair, dark blue eyes and was around six feet tall.
Harry looked around hoping to see his friend. While he was looking around he did not notice that someone was standing right behind him.
'You know that if you stare at something for too long you might just miss what you're looking for,' Harry knew whose voice that was immediately. He quickly turned around and gave that person a brotherly hug.
'David! I missed you so much,' Harry said excitedly.
'Me too kiddo me too,' he replied while coming out of the hug.
David had been the only person in the entire orphanage that knew that Harry was a wizard. This was because he was one of the two only person in the muggle world that Harry trusted to keep such a big secret.
David also wanted to adopt Harry but knew he couldn't because one: he didn't have enough money and another reason as to why he couldn't adopt Harry was because he knew he would defiantly get fired if he even tried to adopt him.
'Come on Harry let's go,' David told Harry while taking Harry's trunk. The smile disappeared from Harry's face only to be replaced by an uncertain look. 'Don't worry Harry. The traffic looks bad. I bet that by the time we arrive back at the orphanage, even Kyle and William will be a sleep.' Harry managed to give David a small smile followed him to the car park.
When Harry got into the back of the David's car he looked out the window only to be entertained by rain and thunder. David noticed Harry's glum face and said 'not exactly the best day is it?' but Harry didn't hear this he staring out the car dreading what was going to happen to him when he and David arrived back at the orphanage.
After a few minutes of silence (well silence if you don't count the time when David keeps on changing the cars gear) Harry asked if they could stop off at 'Burger King' before they went to the orphanage.
'Sure thing we'll go to get something to eat then we'll go home. Okay so its 6:30. Better get your skinny stomach full while we still can,' replied David while looking at his watch.
Harry thanked him and then got out his potions work. Out of all the homework he was given the potions work was the largest. He had done the rest of his homework the day that he had got them. This is because he wanted to have finished all homework before he got back to the orphanage. He sighed and stared writing the polyjuce potion.
When they arrived at a burger King Harry had nearly finished half of his essay. He was about to put it away when David told him that he could finish the essay in burger King. They got out of the car and went into the fast- food restaurant.
Harry and David sat down at a table that was next to a window. Harry was already lost in the world of homework when a waiter came and asked them what they wanted. They both ordered fries, a drink and a burger. When the waiter disappeared David asked Harry how his year went.
'It was great. Nothing happened this year,' replied Harry happily. 'Well unless you count getting tons of points taken off the house from Snape.'
'Good for you,' David said just as happily. He was just about to ask Harry what sort of homework he had when the food arrived at their table. When they finished their meal Harry had still not finished his homework so they ordered ice cream so that they wouldn't be kicked out for just sitting there not ordering anything. So while Harry was just finishing off his homework David was having a vanilla ice cream cone.
Harry had finished his homework by 7:45. When David had paid for the food they went back to the car to realize that the traffic had gone. David and Harry's smiles were wiped away by the sight of this. The same thought travelled through both their minds. They were going to arrive back at the orphanage sooner then they expected.
When they both got in the car, they got ready to go back 'home'. It was not going to be pretty if they arrived home when Kyle and William were still awake. It would defiantly not be a pretty picture.
It took only half an hour for them to arrive back at the orphanage even when the car was only driving at forty miles an hour. When they snuck into the orphanage they were really relived to see that everyone had already decided to go to bed early that night.
Harry went to his dormitory, which he shared with fifteen other kids. The room was very small. There were only six small beds. The kids would normally fight to get one of the beds for the night or they would have to sleep on the floor. Harry looked around the room and sighed. He opened his trunk and changed into his pj's thankful that he would finally be able to go to sleep after a good long drive. He lied down next to Danny; a boy who had been Harry's friend since he could remember. He lied there for a few minutes with his eyes closes until he remembered no more and let the black dark take over him.
(A.N: Ah ha you thought that I was going to end it there? Well think again!!! This chapter is only half way…… well a bit further then half way but any way back to the story)
When Harry awoke the first thing he saw was a very happy looking boy named Danny. Danny was also the only other person too know that Harry was a wizard. He had jet black hair like Harry's except that his wasn't messy, hazel brown eyes that were as warm and welcoming as David's and he was 5'2 feet.
'Morning Danny, how was your year?' Harry asked while having a nice long stretch.
'Boring and very painful,' Danny replied wincing at the memory. 'Oh well you're back it's going to be the best two month this year.'
Harry nodded but then frowned 'Be the best two months of the year? What do you mean?'
'You're back. You know that Preston and Kyle taken a liking to beating you up. It will distract them from me,' replied Danny who got a playful punch on his arm in return. Danny then turned serious and said 'Oh well, come one if you don't hurry up we might just be stuck in here all day.'
Harry didn't need to be told twice about this. Every morning at nine thirty Kyle or Preston would lock the door then come back in an hour to check if anyone was still in there and if there was then those people or person would spend the day being beaten up. So Harry quickly got dressed into some jeans and a tee-shirt that were both way too small for him as he had had them for around six years. After that Danny and Harry got up and went to open the door only too find that it was already locked.
(A.N: Okay this is seriously the end of chapter four now. So any way R/R)
