Chapter 9


A Life Not Worth Wanting


Status: Part 3, 1/?


Reviewers: I'm taking my time to say thanks to everyone personally, instead of writing, so y'all owe me!!


Briesmile~ im not sure why I didnt use Duke Harry. I think I just liked the other name better. I know, Duke Harry may have sounded better, but I think Duke Harold is more proper, and it works.


Xirleb70~ don't flame urself! I like how you write, you just need to update! Yes, im looking whenever I can, hoping you have! Lol.


Kemenran- it was a little odd? Umm, ok. I guess. :-) As to what will happen next, you shall wait and see.


Child-of-the-Dawn- well, thanks and here's the next part!!!


Alexandria- thanks! Here's the part you've been waiting for!


A/N: Well, school's almost out (May 23 for me!!! lol), then im off to Tennessee for a few days, and then back to Ga for a week, then Missouri for a week, then back to Ga for most of the rest of the summer, except for the occasional trip to FL, or SC. I'm not sure how long it will take to get the rest of this story done, so please don't get mad if I don't get it done over the summer. Thanks for your support, and be on the lookout for the next chapter, which I hope to have atleast started before leaving for Tennessee.


Here We Go....


"Wake up!" Ali yelled annoyed, pounding on his door the next morning. Harry finally opened his eyes, and did what he was told to do. Ali sent in a couple of guys, who immediantly began to drag him out of bed, and together, the guys managed to help him to dress.


"Sophia!" one called, and a girl in a light blue dress appeared. "Yes, Ephram?" She responded, as the one called Ephram stepped forward. "We have finished dressing Duke Harold, and we need for your approval." Stepping aside, the two men awaited for her to respond, and when they saw her bright smile, they knew he was complete.


All of a sudden, Ali walks in, and frowned upon seeing Ephram, who just simply looks at her longingly. Harry watched the two, and realization hit. He smiled at the couple, and took a seat, waiting for Ali to speak.


"Oh, Harry. It's dreadful." Ali told him, shaking her head at the whole outfit. Smiling, she revealed a slightly different one, causing Harry to grin widely. The outfit was all black, with an emerald snake drawn on it, and Harry slipped it on. Ali squealed, and motioned for Harry to look in the mirror. It was him, there was no doubt about that. Ali smiled innocently, and told him to sit in a chair, and proceeded to stick his hair up into spikes.


"There." She said once she finished, and led Harry out of the room, and down the stairs.


As they stepped into the limo that was awaiting as they left the mansion, the driver smiled. And so it was a new look for Harry, and a new person for him to be.


*~*


As they arrived at the first party for Harry, Harry turned to Ali. "So, who's party is this?" He asked softly, as the limo pulled up to the curb.


"Duke Anthony Wisenhower has twin daughters, both are graduating from school tonight, so he's throwing a party to honor them. " Ali whispered, as the limo door opened, and Ali stepped out, flashes everywhere. She reached in the limo, and gently took Harry's hand, allowing him to come as well. A bunch of reporters started asking questions excitedly, thinking that Harry was her date.


"Princess! Who is this young man?" A reporter asked. Ali smiled. "A friend." was her reply, as they walked the red carpet to the inside of the castle.


The doorman smiled at the two, as they took the steps, and turned right, reaching the ballroom. As they entered, everyone turned and watched them. Ali smiled, and immediantly started to talk to twin girls, who were trying to hide.


"Hello there, Heidi. Long time no see, Helga." The two girls smiled, braces showing. Harry felt like he would be sick, but he still stayed quiet. "Thank you for coming, Princess Ali." They said in unison, as Harry made a face, whispering something to her. She snickered, hoping that the twins didnt notice. They didnt. Music began to play, and the twins were ushered onto the dance floor by old guys, so Harry turned to Ali. "Come on." He said gently, and together, they began to slow dance to "Isn't She Lovely"by Stevie Wonder.


"Isnt she lovely? Isn't she wonderful." Harry sang in her ear, causing her to burst out into laughter. "Harry, hun, you cant sing." And sure enough, he couldn't. The song ended, and Boys 2 Men came on, with "On Bended Knee."


1. And I....

Darling' I, I can't explain

Where did we lose our way

Girl it's driving' me insane

And I know I just need one more chance

To prove my love to you

If you come back to me

I'll guarantee

That I'll never let you go...

CHORUS:

Can we go back to the days our love was strong

Can you tell me how a perfect love goes wrong

Can somebody tell me how to get things back

The way they used to be

Oh God give me the reason

I'm down on bended knee

I'll never walk again, until you come back to me

I'm down on bended knee

So many nights I dream of you

Holding my pillow tight

I know that I don't need to be alone

When I open up my eyes

To face reality

Every moment without you

It seems like eternity

I'm begging you, begging you come back to me

CHORUS:

Can we go back to the days our love was strong

Can you tell me how a perfect love goes wrong

Can somebody tell me how to get things back

The way they used to be

Oh God give me the reason

I'm down on bended knee

I'll never walk again, until you come back to me

I'm down on bended knee

(Baby, Im sorry. Please forgive me for all the wrong I'VE done.

Please come back home girl. I know you put all your trust

in me, I'm sorry I let you down. Please forgive me girl.)

I'm gonna swallow my pride

Say I'm sorry

Stop pointing fingers, the blame is on me

I want a new life

And I want it with you

If you feel the same

Don't ever let it go

You gotta believe, in the spirit of love

it can heal all things

We won't hurt any more

No I don't believe our love's terminal

I'm down on my knees, begging you please

Come home...

CHORUS:

Can we go back to the days our love was strong

Can you tell me how a perfect love goes wrong

Can somebody tell me how to get things back

The way they used to be

Oh God give me the reason

I'm down on bended knee

I'll never walk again, until you come back to me

I'm down on bended knee

Wanna build a new life

Just you and me

Gonna make you my wife

Raise a family

Harry slow danced with her for another song, "Crying'" by Aerosmith. 1. There was a time

When I was so brokenhearted

Love wasn't much of a friend of mine

The tables have turned, yeah

'Cause me and them ways have parted

That kind of love was the killin' kind

All I want is someone I can't resist

I know all I need to know by the way that I got kissed

I was Crying' when I met you

Now I'm tryin to forget you

your Love is sweet misery

I was Crying' just to get you

Now I'm dyin' 'cause I let you

Do what you do-down on me

Now there's not even breathin' room

Between pleasure and pain

Yeah you cry when we're makin love

Must be one and the same

It's down on me

Yeah, I got to tell you one thing

It's been on my mind

Girl I gotta say

We're partners in crime

You got that certain something

What you give to me

Takes my breath away

Now the word out on the street

Is the devil's in your kiss

If our love goes up in flames

It's a fire I can't resist

I was Crying' when I met you

Now I'm tryin to forget you

your Love is sweet misery

I was Crying' just to get you

Now I'm dyin' 'cause I let you

Do what you do to me

'Cause what you got inside

Ain't where your love should stay

Yeah, our love, sweet love, ain't love

'Till you give your heart away

I was Crying' when I met you

Now I'm tryin to forget you

Your Love is sweet misery

I was Crying' just to get you

Now I'm dyin' just to let you

Do what you do what you do down to me, baby, baby, baby

I was Crying' when I met you

Now I'm tryin to forget you

Your Love is sweet misery

I was Crying' when I met you

Now I'm tryin to forget you

Your Love is sweet misery

I was Crying' when I met you

Now I'm tryin to forget you

Your Love is sweet misery

I was Crying' when I met you

Now I'm tryin to forget you

Your Love is sweet misery

Do what you do down to, down to, down to, down to

I was Crying' when I met you

Now I'm tryin to forget you

Your Love is sweet misery

As the song finished, Harry was led off the dance floor, and to a table, where Duke Brown sat, smiling at him.


"I'm liking the look, Mr. Potter." Harry, at his young age, smiled. "Thank you, sir."


"Wow, he has manners, too." Another spoke. "Duke Thomas, nice to meet you.""And you as well." His swift reply came, as he took a seat, and began to have a conversation with Duke Brown. The dinner began moments later, and Harry stood, offering a toast. "In congratulations to Heidi and Helga, I offer a toast." Everyone raised their glasses. "Good luck, ladies." Harry, at his 13 years, sat down in his seat, as glasses clinked. A few others stood, offering toasts, before dinner was served. Harry smiled at his new group of people, wondering what would occur in his life next.
