Chapter 12
Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter. They are the property of JK Rowling.
A snow-white owl flew into the night sky as regular owls do; most owls at this time have just awakened and are out to hunt. This owl however is returning home to live a solitary life. "Why did I ever come back?" Said Harry to himself. "I left that life behind a long time ago. She must still be angry at me for what I've done." He did not want to become involved again because it was already difficult leaving once, he could never do something like that again. When they danced it was as if a bit of happiness had crept its way back into his life. It was so wonderful that he didn't want to let go. When he looked into her eyes all he wanted to do was kiss her lips and pick up where they had left off. No, she would have none of that. She only danced with him to be courteous. Still, it felt so right.
The wedding had been wonderful and beautifully decorated. He never did get a chance to try the food before he slipped out. No one except Cho knew that he had even left. Now he began to feel guilty for abandoning his best friends wedding. "Why does he still call me his best friend? I don't deserve that." He showed up for Ron's sake, not his. Getting the chance to see everyone again was just a bonus. He really did want to see everyone again but did not want to risk being pulled back into that life. He had had a discussion with Sirius about what he was doing. He told Sirius not to worry and that he would be ok. Sirius wanted to be able to owl his godson but Harry thought it was too risky.
As he approached his apartment back at Edwards Air Force base he saw that the screen door to his balcony was still open, just as he had left it. He quickly scanned the area with his sharp vision to see if anyone was watching before he landed on the balcony and changed back to his human form. His nocturnal vision quickly changed to his human eyes as he struggled to see in the dark. He walked into the apartment and quickly closed the screen door. The journey had taken a lot of energy, which caused him to become very tired. Finding the couch in the middle of his apartment, he allowed himself to collapse onto it. He did not however notice that someone was already laying on the couch in the dark.
A scream was heard when Harry landed on someone as he quickly pulled himself up to see who it was. After turning on the lights he saw that it was Laura on his couch. She had fallen asleep waiting for him to come home.
"What are you doing here?" Asked Harry whose eyes were adjusting to the bright lights. "And how did you get in?" Laura who had been disturbed from her slumber sat up blinking and trying to adjust her eyes as she tried to look at Harry.
"I have a master key to all the apartments; for security reasons," replied Laura. "I was waiting for you to come home so I could return your things to you and ask you a few questions." She then began to eye him up and down and give him an odd look. It was then that Harry realized he was still wearing his dress robes.
"I can explain the clothes," stuttered Harry. "You see I went to this carnival and um we were acting out scenes from medieval times."
"Really." replied Laura giving him a suspicious look. "Does this belong to you?" She held his wand in her hand.
"Well I."
"I was also looking at your watch and it had an engraving in the back. It said, 'Harry And Cho Forever Together.' Now I heard you saying that name in your sleep, but who is Harry and why do you have his watch?"
"Well you see."
"And what is this?" Laura pointed towards an open picture album with moving pictures lying on the table. "What's going on here James? Tell me the truth." At this point he knew he was caught. He knew he could never make up a story to cover all this up. On one hand he could risk it and tell her the truth. She was a good friend and might just accept him for who he was, but who was he? He was James Potter now as he had told Dumbledore and Cho before. He had nothing to tell her, but how was he to explain everything with out telling her the truth? If she didn't believe him the worst that could happen is she thinks he's crazy. If worst comes to worst a memory charm should work fine.
"Maybe we better sit down," said Harry. He had to figure out a way to do this with out making her think that he was crazy. He didn't want to alarm her but feared all that information might be too much for her to take. Then again your everyday average woman doesn't make head of the base's security forces. She was something a lot more. Someone he felt he could trust with his secret. He never even told Carlos, one of his best friends, that he was a wizard. He thought of several ways to approach this situation as Laura waited patiently for his explanation. None of the ideas really seemed like a sure thing so he decided to wing it. "Ok Laura, well, first I want to apologize for not being fully honest with you. Don't get me wrong; I have never lied to you. I just never told you the whole truth." Laura raised an eyebrow and gave him a strange look.
"Well you can start by giving me the whole truth this time," said Laura.
"Ok first off my name is not James Potter. Well actually it is but my full name is Harry James Potter. I didn't want anyone using my first name so everyone knows me by my middle name. It was also my father's name."
"What's wrong with your first name?"
"Nothing is wrong with my first name."
"Well why don't you use it then?"
"I'll get to that in a bit. Anyways I used to live in England," said Harry suddenly changing his accent. Laura could not help but laugh lightly at his accent. Harry smiled at her understandingly but then resumed his serious tone. "I need to show you something, but I don't know how you will handle it."
"Come on James, I think I've seen enough action, in the security forces. Nothing you could possibly show me would make me freak out."
"Ok, um pick any object in this room." Laura gave him a questioning look. "Please just pick any object in this room."
"Ok, how about that shoe on the floor," said Laura pointing to a black shoe that Harry left by the door. Harry took out his wand and turned in the direction of the shoe.
"Wingardium Leviosa," said Harry as he did the wand and wrist movements. Suddenly the shoe started to float in mid air. Laura's reaction was not what he had expected.
"Ok James, don't try to avoid the subject by showing me magic tricks. I've seen them on TV plenty of times."
"Um Laura, that isn't a trick."
"James, it's probably being held up by strings."
"Go ahead and check it for strings then."
"I'm not here to play games!"
"And I'm not playing games!" Yelled Harry. Laura looked deep into his eyes. She could see the look of hurt and anger inside of them as well as confusion and desperation. Slowly she got up and walked over to the floating shoe and tried to figure out how he had done it. She waved her hands all around trying to find the tiny little strings that were supposed to be holding it up but none were to be found.
"That's a pretty neat trick but what does this have to do with anything?"
"Well I know you are wondering about why the pictures can move too." Laura nodded in agreement. "I'll understand if you don't believe me or think that I'm a freak." Harry turned his head so he was looking straight into her eyes. "I'm a wizard."
For several minutes neither of them said anything. She was digesting what he had just told her and trying to decide what he was getting at. She knew that wizards did not exist so was he trying to play her for a fool or something. Then again something in his eyes told her that he wasn't trying to lie or make a fool of her. Finally she broke the silence, "What do you mean, 'you're a wizard'?"
"Well, I can do magic. I made that shoe float and I can do a lot of other things."
"How do I know you didn't rig that?"
"Well first off I wasn't expecting on you coming over and second I let you pick any object in the room."
"You do have a point, but if you can do magic then do something else." Harry once again took out his wand.
"Lumos," said Harry as the end of his wand lit up.
"Ok that could just be a really weird flashlight."
"You're a tough crowd to please," joked Harry trying to lighten up the mood. "Accio Broom!" Harry's Firebolt came flying out of his bedroom and into his hands. Laura had an amazed look on her face. "Come," said Harry as he made his way out to the balcony. When they were both on the balcony he mounted his broom and flew into the night sky hoping that no one on base was awake. As long as he stood away from the airfield he would be ok. When he landed Laura immediately bombarded him with questions.
"That was amazing! How did you do that? Can you teach me to do that?"
"I told you I'm a wizard and no I cant teach you because you need magic to do it. So do you believe me now?"
"I'm not really sure about this whole magic thing but it is hard to say no after all this. Still I can't help but think these are really neat magic tricks."
"Ok I'm going to show you one more thing and if you don't believe me then I have no idea what would convince you." Harry put his broom down and quickly changed into his animagius form. Laura looked frightened at the sudden change that Harry made. She almost turned around and ran but her curiosity got the better of her. Harry turned around and flew into the night sky. After making a few rounds he landed back on his balcony and changed back into his human form. "I hope you don't think of me as a freak or anything." Harry was looked down trying to avoid eye contact with her. Once again there was a moment of silence as they both collected their thoughts. Slowly Laura made her way towards Harry.
"James," said Laura as she placed her hand on his shoulder. He looked up to meet her gaze. "I don't think you are a freak. I just have a really neat friend now." She then smiled at him. For an instance he almost felt like kissing her. He almost thought he was looking at Cho for a moment then suddenly realized he was standing with Laura. It suddenly hit him. He was really good friends with Laura because she reminded him of Cho. The brown eyes and the raven black hair, as well as her athletic abilities and love for surfing. He could never tell her that though as he broke her gaze. She looked a bit disappointed as she knew they had almost kissed but thought nothing of it as he made his way back inside. "So tell me, why are you here? How many other people out there are like you?"
"Well there's an entire population out there like me. We have our own communities and governments. We even have our own minister of magic and everything. We live our lives like everyone else except we have magic."
"So there are female wizards too?"
"Yes we call them witches and we call none magic people like you, muggles. We have to keep everything a secret so we usually live together."
"Why aren't you with them then?" There was a moment of silence and Laura knew she had made a mistake asking this question. "I'm sorry you don't have to answer that if you don't want to."
"No don't apologize," said Harry. "I haven't told this to anyone in a long time. I think it's time I let it out." He paused for a moment to collect his thoughts and continued. "You see this scar I have on my forehead." Laura noticed it for the first time since she had known him. She had never seen it before but it didn't look like it was a fresh wound. He did not get a chance to put on the spell to hide his scar since he left Ron's wedding. Laura immediately had a look of concern on her face as she reach towards his scar to see if he was ok.
"How did you get that horrible scar?"
"I'm getting to that," replied Harry. "When I was a baby my parents were killed by an evil wizard named Voldemort. He tried to kill me too but when my mother died, her love placed a magical shield on me that protected me from him. So when he tried to kill me it backfired and almost killed him. He wasn't quite dead but was too weak to continue and fled. I was the only one to live and he left me with this scar." Harry was looking towards the floor as he told the story of his parent's death.
"Oh James, I'm so sorry. No wonder you never talked about your parents before." She embraced him in a friendly comforting hug.
"It's ok but let me continue. It took him years before he could regain power. Everyone thought he had died but he was merely hiding as he tried to gain power. At the time when he came back his number one goal was to make me suffer and die. I was at the time attending a magic school called Hogwarts."
"You have magic schools?" Interrupted Laura with curiosity.
"Yeah of course. I had to learn all the spells and things I know from somewhere. Anyways he had been trying to kill me ever since my first year at the school all the way up till I graduated. I can't even count the number of times I visited the hospital wing. Eventually I managed to rid of the world of him though. I did something to him worst than death, I trapped his soul. After I graduated, I made a choice. I had to leave that life behind because for seven years of my life I endangered everyone I loved. You have no idea how many times they were attacked or the people that were killed just because they were my friends or a loved one. I did not want to be responsible for that anymore and disappeared from the wizarding world. Harry Potter was no more and James Potter, a US Air Force Academy cadet was born. I left England and came to the US to start a new life. That was one of the hardest things I ever had to do. When I was at the Academy and there was a tough challenge I would always remember that leaving that life behind was the most difficult thing I had to do." Laura could only hug her friend understandingly.
"You are still Harry Potter. You can never change that. Never deny who you are. Although you moved to the United States you are still the same person you have always been. I doubt you could have changed that much. You are kind, caring, and considerate of others before you. I'm sure everyone from your world misses you greatly. It seems to me like you are just hiding. Besides if you already destroyed your enemy then there aren't any threats left to your friends."
"He has powerful supporters that will want revenge. I can't risk it."
"Well if you can defeat their leader, then I'm sure they shouldn't be a problem. Besides you can't deny who you are."
"There's more to it than that. I left behind the girl I loved. I could never face her like that again."
"James, I mean Harry, that was several years ago. People change sometimes and people are forgiving." There was once again a moment of silence.
"I went back today to my best friend's wedding. I felt as if I owed him that much to attend his wedding. She was there, but I left before anything could happen. It was difficult leaving the first time, but I know that if I ever become attached again I could never leave. Besides she hates me now I'm sure. The first thing I got upon arriving back was a punch in the face by my best friend."
"So that's why you left so early and came home so late."
"Yeah," admitted Harry.
"Don't worry James, I mean Harry, I'll be here for you if you need to talk. It's been a long day and I'm sure you could use the sleep. Maybe you can show me some more magic sometime."
"Maybe tomorrow," replied Harry.
"I guess I'll be going," said Laura. "I'll leave this on your table." Laura put Harry's watch on the table with out asking any more questions and let herself out of his apartment. Harry fell asleep on the couch, too tired to make his way to bed.
A/N: So Laura knows his secret now. What will happen next? Also I am considering writing an AU for Harry/Laura so let me know what you think. This however is a Harry/Cho fic and will continue to be one so don't worry about it although it gets more complicated. I am also considering writing a Harry/Fleur fic since I don't see very many of those out there. I also went back to previous chapters and corrected some names that I mixed up while writing. It's nothing that would require you to read the whole story though so don't worry about it. Thanks to all of those who reviewed my story and many thanks to my Beta's.
