Things Change: Chapter 2
Hey Guys if you managed to get through the first horrible chapter CONGRATS! This chapter is where the story actually get good (well at least in my opinion) Let me know what u think, I might take your advice! In other words review! Thanx to all the ppl who reviewed the last chap.
Maddy- First and foremost, thanx for reviewing and secondly, I AM NOT AMERICAN I am CANADIAN. I hate when ppl just group us together, not that I dislike Americans, Im just patriotic. Not your fault tho, the thing about the beach house is inconsequential to the story so Im just gonna leave it like that (maybe the ministry gave them the place to stay in for a couple weeks?) Oh and I have to keep the pool cuz there's a funny part later that involves it. Further suggestions are welcome. Jen
Oh I've been leaving this out so I guess I should start putting it in now.
DISCLAIMER-I own none of these characters cept the ones I made up, all others are copyright JK Rowling.
Today was Harry's birthday and he'd already received presents from his wizard friends. A bewitched seashell from the twins, which when held to you ear told dirty jokes, a book called 'Keep Yourself Entertained: 1001 Charms and Spells that Take Hours to Learn' from Hermione, a little walking Harry figurine from Ron with a note:
Harry, they were selling these at the Tri-wizard Tournament. Happy Birthday, Ron.
a real black cobra from Hagrid, also with a note:
Harry, I hear you're spending the whole summer with those dang muggles and this critter reminded me of you because he has a mark on his hood that looks like a lightning bolt. At least now you'll have summat to talk to. Hagrid
and for some reason Sirius had sent him a chest although he already had one.
After Harry had written them all thanking them profusely for the gifts he sat down to look at the chest from Sirius. Maybe the chest was just the wrapper and the real present was inside. He opened it and found yet another note.
Harry, I found this chest in a magical village in Ireland. If you open it with this key (there was a key in the chest next to the letter) you will find a large empty room and an instruction book. Just read the instructions and you can create anything you want. The best part of the chest is that it keeps the magic contained inside so you can use it in the muggle world. Enjoy. Sirius.
"Wow." Harry picked up the book and noticed it was pretty thick, so he put on his AFI CD and laid down on his bed to read it.
*
Harry was finally done. He looked at the clock, "Oh my God, it's eight o'clock!" He'd spent over five hours in the chest and now had to get ready to go to the party his friends were throwing for his birthday. After showering, dressing, and eating, Harry made it to Holly's house at 9:05pm. Harry knocked and waited, finally none other than Draco Malfoy opened the door. "Tut, tut, Potter. Late for you own party." "What are you doing here Malfoy?" "It's not like I wanted to come to your little muggle party, Blaise brought me." "Oh I didn't realize you were dating." They just stood and glared at each other until Holly came to the door. "Who's here Draco? Oh it's you Harry, come on in." Harry pushed past Draco and walked in. Everyone was sitting around on the couches and talking. Harry sat next to Blaise and hissed in his ear. "Why did you bring him?" "Who Draco? I didn't think you'd mind." "You didn't think I'd mind? Other than Voldemort, he's my worst enemy!" Blaise laughed, "Yeah right, everyone at school knows that you just fight because you like each other." "WHAT?!" said Harry and Malfoy simultaneously. "You don't need to deny it anymore." "Oh my God, I'm going to kill you!" threatened Malfoy. "If we weren't in a room full of muggles, so help me." said Harry. By now the rest of Harry's friends had noticed and were looking over. "Okay, okay it was only me that thought that, but you have to admit, you'd make a good couple." Said Blaise. Malfoy looked like he was going to explode, "From now on keep your thoughts to yourself." "I need a drink," said Harry and he walked off towards the kitchen.
*
It was a few hours later and Harry and Draco were sitting across from each other at a table filled with shot glasses. Everyone else was either gathered around them taking and placing bets or playing pool. (The party was being held in Holly's rec-room.)
So far everyone but Blaise had bet on Harry winning, Blaise knew how much Draco could drink. But both were looking a little dishevelled. "Hang on, I gotta go to the can," slurred Draco as he got up and staggered off to the bathroom. "No, no Draco, that's a linen closet!" said Holly. "And that's a potted plant!" By the time Draco got back from the bathroom, Harry had fallen asleep at the table. Draco laughed drunkenly, took another drink, downed it, and said, "I win." As everyone but Blaise sighed.
Luke, the only guy who could still see straight, picked Harry up and put him on the couch. Harry woke up as he was being moved. "Wha cha doin?" "I'm moving you so you don't wake up on the floor and cuz we wanna play cards," said Luke. "Oh." Just then Draco slumped down on the couch next to Harry. "Good you can keep Harry company," said Luke and walked off to join the card game. Draco looked at Harry, "So do you have any tattoos Potter?".
AUTHOR NOTES: MUAHAHA.This is where I leave you at a treacherous cliff hanger my children. (Laughs evilly for a couple minutes) or at least I was gonna leave you but my chapters are too short so this is really just an interlude. Oh well have fun with the next chapter. Jen (aka evil_turd)
Blaise rolled off the bed and landed on the floor with a thump. He opened his eyes and the room was spinning. He moaned and ran for the bathroom. Harry woke to the sounds of retching coming from the bathroom, he yawned and opened his eyes. He was looking right into silver-grey ones with the same expression. Confusion. "Potter?" "Yes, Malfoy?" "Why are you lying on top of me?" "Um, I don't know." "Are we both fully dressed?" Harry looked down. "Yes." "Good, one more thing." "Uh huh?" "GET OFF OF ME!" Harry and Draco quickly rolled off the bed and stood looking at each other. "Do you remember what we did last night?" asked Harry. "Are you kidding? I don't even remember what happened after you got to the party." Just then Blaise emerged from the bathroom looking more or less like shit. "God guys I feel like shit." "Well now that you're done in the bathroom, I'm having a shower, then we can find out where we are." With that Harry started to take his shirt off. As he pulled it over his head it caught on his ear. "Oww! What the hell?" Harry went into the bathroom and looked in the mirror. There hanging from his ear was a silver ring with designs engraved all around it. "Wicked tattoo, Potter," said Draco. "Tattoo? What tattoo? I don't have any tattoos." "Well you do now. I guess we figured out what we did last night," said Draco. "What does it look like?" asked Harry praying it wasn't something stupid. "Uh it's a black and silver dragon wound around some kind of rune." "Well I guess that's pretty cool, maybe you got one too," said Harry. Draco pulled off his shirt and turned around so Harry could see his back. "Yeah, on your right shoulder blade there's a python wrapped around a dagger." "Wow, even when I'm hammered I make good decisions." "Oh my god, my parents will kill me if I got a tattoo," whined Blaise. He undid his shirt and Harry and Draco looked. "Oh my god Blaise!" said Draco. "Wow your parents are gonna freak!" said Harry. "What?" "You better go look in the mirror, Blaise." Blaise ran to the bathroom and slammed the door. Soon they heard the shower turn on. "Haha, stupid git. I can't believe he actually fell for that," snickered Draco. Harry tried to hold back his laughter, "He's probably trying to wash it off in the shower." "AAAAAAAAHHHHHH! I have a naked chick on my ass.!" "What?" The other boys ran into the bathroom. Draco took one look and started to roll on the floor laughing. "Oh my god, its Hermione!" yelled Harry. Malfoy stopped laughing, looked again and started laughing harder than ever.
*
After they had all calmed down and cleaned up they had gone down and realized they were at the Leaky Cauldron. They had gathered so far that they had somehow gotten to Diagon Alley, had tattoos done, and a piercing in Harry's case and afterward booked a room in the Leaky Cauldron. After that they had been so tired they'd collapsed on the bed and passed out. Apparently they had behaved like idiots because whenever Tom, the bartender caught their eyes he'd shake with silent laughter. Harry, Draco, and Blaise decided that since they were already here they might as well buy all their things for school. So it was as the boys were enjoying their breakfast (well actually it was more like lunch because it was already noon) that two owls flew in and landed at their table. One was Hedwig and the other was a large Horned owl Blaise welcomed as Athena. Hedwig dropped a note in Harry's lap and took a bite of his bacon before flying off again.
Boy, we are going to Marge's. When we get back the house better be the same as when we left it and you better not be there. Find your own way to that freak school of yours. The Dursleys
Harry just sat at the table motionless. A whole summer without the Dursleys, he couldn't believe it. He looked over, Blaise and Malfoy were doing the same thing as him. "My parents had to go into hiding." "What?" said Harry. "Why?" "It's because of me," said Draco. I had a fight with my father and I was hiding out at Blaise's house." "You had a fight?" asked Harry. Blaise looked hesitant to say anything. "It's okay Blaise. "Yes Potter we had a fight because I didn't want to become a death-eater." "You didn't?" "No, and now Lucius has forced Blaise's parents into hiding all because of me." "It's okay Draco, but the thing is, my parents couldn't tell me where they were going so we're gonna have to find some place to live for the rest of the summer." There was silence for a moment while the boys all thought about different things. "You can stay with me," said Harry tentatively. Blaise and Draco gave him disbelieving looks. Blaise finally spoke up, "Thanks a lot Harry, but I don't think those muggles you live with would appreciate having two more wizards in the house." "They're gone." "What?" "They're gone for the rest of the summer." "Wow Harry, are you sure you don't mind?" asked Blaise. Harry glanced up at Draco, "No, its okay." He was wondering what Ron and Hermione would say if they knew Harry would be living with Malfoy for the rest of the summer. "Isn't this great Draco?" said Blaise. "Yeah," said Draco. He was thinking about what Lucious and Narcissa would say if they knew he's be living with Harry Potter for the rest of the summer.
*
After they finished their breakfasts, Harry, Draco, and Blaise set off into Diagon Alley to do their shopping. People who had any idea who they were. Stared. Harry thought about what they must look like, their beloved 'Boy Who Lived', walking side by side with two rumoured death-eaters. But Harry had learned to stop caring about what others thought.
