Reviewers: Thank you so much!


Kemenran- well, here you go.


Child-of-the-Dawn: Wouldnt Harry make a perfect punk rock kid?? Lol. it's perfect for him!


Xirleb70- you do that!


Briesmile- sry, that was the only time I am doing that. Ali was 15 at that time, but she is older in this chapter. The twin girls were just extras, and wont be in the story anymore.


Disclaimer: Me: Aww, Mommy, can I keep them? Mommy: No, hunny, you have to give them back to JR so that she can finish her series. Me: But, but, I love you. Mommy: alright, hunny,we'll buy a cage tommorow. Me: Thank you! There you go, I own them now! Ha!



This chapter is dedicated to babekellystar, who imed me, and kept hassiling me to write more. So thanks so much, girl, and here you are....



Wow, I never thought this would happen to me. Here I am, sitting in a rather comfortable leather seat, talking to a freaking Princess for gosh sakes. And now, im chatting it up with dukes, and kings, and queens, and princes and princesses. It seems like I just finished Hogwarts University, and now im dressed like some punk, and stuck listening to old people complain about politics. And trust me, it's worse than it sounds.


"Harry, what do you think about the black with the white snake?" Ali bugged me for the millionth time. "It's fine, okay?" I said, annoyed, as I threw aside a pair of Adidas. At the wall, nearly missing a poor house elf. Ali sighed, and left the room, slamming the door after her. I smirked, and pulled on a pair of headphones thrown to the side, and began bobbing my head to

Ozzy Osbourne. Life sucks, I know.


*~*

I started duke school. Well, it's not really school. More like normal studies, like math, English and World History, and an afterschool class of 'behaving properly' What a bunch of crap. Oh wow, we get to learn to cross our legs, and use silverware. I'm a GUY! I don't need to know this stuff. But they still teach it, which I DON'T understand. I met someone like me, named Ephram, and apparently, he and Ali had a little thing going on last year, until she broke it off with him. I don't know why, but he's 15, and really cool. Neither of us like the whole 'behaving like young men' thing. Normally, we sleep in that class, but the teacher gets mad easily. Oh well. Her name is Mrs. Flowers, what kind of fruity name is that? She's rather ugly, so I don't care what she thinks. She's not me.


*~*


Entering my final year of 'duke school' was a hassle. The teacher, yup, the same nasty teacher was still teaching it, although I have no clue why. She's a pain. Ugh.


I spent the summer in France with Ephram. It was fun. His family owns a mansion there, so we stayed there, having parties and tons of fun. However, his stupid sister Elizabeth invited Ali, and so Ephram and Ali found most of the time. I think there's still something there, but they don't listen to me. Oh well.


Liz, as she forced me to call her, was a beautiful girl with blonde hair past her shoulders, and big blue eyes. She resembled Ephram, but Liz still had braces. I thought they were twins when I first saw her, but she's two years younger, which makes her my age!!! While Ephram and Ali found, Liz and I ran around France, having the time of our lives. She was pretty cool, but not really someone I would date. More like a best friend.


The morning we left, Liz and I smiled at eachother, and secretly passed prank items to each other. It was fun, as I stepped into the awaiting limo, as Ephram and I drove off to school again. Ugh. Die school, die. As unhappy as I was with school, what happened next would change my life forever. At 15, something happened that destroyed me.


*~*


I was in the limo with Ephram, Ali and Liz, and we were driving to see some musical. All of a sudden, the brakes squealed, and I was thrown forward. The last thing I saw before my eyes shut was Liz, blood running down her face. The next thing I knew, I was at the hospital, waking up. I saw Remus' face, and Grandfather, and Great Uncle Aberforth, but no one else. I looked at their solemn faces, and realized that something had happened.


"What happened, Grandfather? Where's Ali? Liz? Ephram?" I cried out, wanting my friends. Remus looked ready to cry, and I knew. "Harry, Ephram and Ali died on impact. Liz was rushed to the hospital, and died a day later."


"A d..d..day? What's the date?" I sobbed, trying to take it all in.


"May 22nd, 1995." That cant be right. The accident was February 12, 1995. "You've been in a coma for a few months." I cried out, wanting my friends. They could never see me again. "What happened?" I demanded. "How did the limo driver lose control?" I wanted to cry, but Duke's don't cry. Do they?


"Harry, I don't think that I should tell you." Remus said softly. However, I managed not to cry, as I got him to tell me. "Your limo driver, he had gotten into drugs a few hours before driving you guys. The police think that he was high, and also drunk. He's in their custody, until a trial can be set. We didnt want to tell you this yet. I'm so sorry." Water filled up in my eyes, and Grandfather motioned for them to leave. He left along with them, after whispering a few words in my ear. I sobbed into the pillow, not caring about myself, but more for my friends, who are now 6 feet under. I am alone, I realized as I cried.


*~*


Two days had passed since I had woken up, and I was paid a visit by Remus, Grandfather and Great Uncle Aberforth once again. This time, it was business.


"Harry, we talked to the judge, and they have chosen the court date. They want you to testify. " I frowned, not wanting to. But then I thought, it would put their killer away. So, I agreed, under one condition. "Name it." "I want to leave this hospital today." And it was done. I was released from the hospital.


"Thank you." I told them with a sneer, as I tried to dial on a pay phone. Grandfather grabbed my arm, and pulled me to an awaiting car, as I spotted Arthur Weasley at the wheel. Annoyed, I tried to pull away, but was put in the car before I could do anything. The door shut behind Remus, and the car pulled away, as I slammed my head against the seat. Remus shook his head, and buckled me in, against my will. The car could fly, big surprise, so we flew to Hogwarts. Wonderful, isnt it? Yeah, right.


"Harry, lets go." A soft voice told me, and I looked up. There was Madame Hooch, looking at me with her deep eyes. I smiled, if only a slight one. "Maddy." I felt her wrap her arms around me, as I cried in them.


A few hours later, my tears were all gone. Maddy still held me, as my tear-stained eyes looked around the room. "Maddy, can you take me to the graves." Maddy smiled, and agreed. We left the castle, and rode in the same car to the grave site, called Castle Gardens. All three had been buried in this place. I entered, with flowers in hand. II turned to Maddy, and she nodded. She walked back to the car, and I walked to where I found a grave, marked Alexandra Smith, as well as two other graves, marked Ephram Tyler and Liz Tyler. I ran my fingers over each letter, tears forming in my eyes, as I sat down next to the graves.


"Hey guys." I said softly. "Wow, this feels awkward. I..I miss you. I need you guys. Who am I going to turn to for new advice on my hair, Al? Who is going to give me my love advice, lizzie? And who's going to play football with me, Ephram. I need all of you. It's hard, going on without you. I need my advice, and my sports. Ali, baby girl, what will I do without your hugs when I needed them? You remember when I went to my first party, and I started singing, and you told me I couldnt sing? Well, I miss that. Ephram, bro, who's going to go to all of the games with me, and act like an idiot? Liz, who's going to laugh at me, and tease me? I need you guys." Tears fell freely down my face, as I placed a flower on each grave.


"I know, Ephram, flowers don't suit you." I said softly to Ephram's grave, as I placed the flower on top of it. "I'll be back, guys. See ya." With that, I stood up, and walked back to the car, and got in. "Lets go." I told her. I looked back at the gravesite, wondering how I'd live without my best friends.


We went back to Hogwarts, and were immediantly ushered into a meeting. There sat Snape, Remus, Aberforth, and Grandfather, all looking at me. I blinked, and took a seat, waiting for them to speak.


"We have a proposition for you." I waited, as they told me all about it. Remus had quit being Defense teacher, and they needed a replacement for the next year. "We want you." Grandfather told me, as I shrugged. "Will you think about it?" I nodded, and left the room.


"Harry!" I heard, and turned around. "What is it?" I asked softly. "The trial, it's set for tommorow at noon." I nodded, and walked off, leaving Remus alone.


Well, that went good. I thought to myself, as I entered my new room. My stuff was already put up, all I needed was a nap, and some food. I decided to do the first, and slept for a good couple of hours or so, until about 5, and then I changed for dinner. Placing my black robes over my black t-shirt, and black jeans, I made it clear that I was in mourning. I entered the Great Hall, and immediantly walked to the teacher's table, as everyone watched me, excitedly. I took a seat next to Snape, and waited unpatiently for food. Grandfather smiled proudly, and served the food, as I rolled my eyes, and took a roll.


"Not bad." I told Snape, as I put some of the food on my plate, and began to eat. He smirked, but thankfully didnt say anything. I ate my meal in silence after that, and soon stood to go back to my room, causing everyone to look at me. I ignored them, and took the longest way possible to my room, seeing as I had lived here before.


As I slept that night, I tossed and turned, moaning. "Ali, Liz, Ephram, NO!" My eyes opened, and I sighed. I could hear rain pouring down on the roof, rain for my tears.


I buried my head in my pillow, and just let the tears flow. That's all I could do, for now.








Thats it, folks!!!!!!


Harry: why did you make me so sad?


Duh! You just lost your bestfriends


Harry: Wahhhhh! I miss Ali, and Ephram and Liz!


*Rolls eyes* Make Harry feel better, and leave a review. He's annoying....


Harry: are not!


Buh-bye.
