OWLS and Diagon Alley
Harry sat on his bed. He took a long puff of his cigarette and sighed. He's night were haunted by painful memories and visions. He was now able to distinguish between the true and false vision. They were getting more gruesome and inhuman each time.
Last Vision:
Harry was in a little house were everything was pitch black. The whole room turned cold and a snake-like face could be seen in the darkness Voldemort Harry thought before fallowing him and his Death Eater through a door. A man was sleeping soundly. Voldemort whispered "Crusio" and the man started screaming and convulsing in the bed. After a few minutes Voldemort lifted the spell and smiled madly. He whispered another spell that Harry didn't hear. The man began bleeding from every inch of his body. The spell had made his skin vanish, the man was screaming in agony. Voldemort cast the crutasious curse again and the man died 3 seconds after the curse had touched him. The whole room was covered in blood the Dark Mark was hanging above the dead man. Voldemort turned around and left fallowed by his Death Eaters.
End of Vision
Harry was sweating madly from the memory. All the evil I have caused by living. Sirius... If I had the decency to die in my second year none of them would be dead. He took the silver bladed and snake handled dagger. He stroke his write, the cut was long and shallow. It burned but the sensation was not enough for Harry. He cut in deeper and a little shorter. The pain overwhelmed him, and made him feel alive, free. He had so many cuts on his arms some deep and short or long and shallow. It was his mark to make him remember how worthless he was.
Two weeks ago he had receive many gifts that he send back without a second thought. He bluntly refuses to write to his friends even less accept gifts. Ron never was a friend he was always jealous and stayed by his side in hope of getting a little fame. Hermione stayed by his side so she would be close to Ron and so many people looked at him that it drawn the attention on her and how intelligent she was. He didn't have friends that saw him as Harry, no one really new him.
He was sitting on his bed again after a good fight with his conjured opponent. An owl started tapping irritably on the window. Harry sat up and opened the window. A school owl flew in dropped her letter and flew out. It was his school list and Owls. He opened it carefully and looked at his owl. He had 12 OWLS; he jumped when he saw his grade in potions... He had gotten outstanding he was smiling for the first time on so long. He got ready to go to Diagon Alley when he noticed a small note with his letters. It said that Remus would pick him up in an hour. So he stopped rushing and got ready slowly.
He was wearing baggy black jeans with chains hanging from them. His shirt was black with a skull on it, it let see his now muscular form and tattoo. He had his tones of bracelets in place and his blue hair spiked up.
He placed his cigarette, lighter, wand, pull-over and invisibility cloak in his back-pack. He unlocked his door and went on the door-step to wait for Remus. Fortunately, the Dursley's were out, even Dudley. Harry lit a cigarette and waited impatiently. Remus apparated a few seconds later and stared at Harry shocked. Harry only raised an eyebrow "Hey Remus..."
Remus shook his head and smile "Hi Harry, hmmm, nice style..."
Harry laughed "You don't have to approve Remus but it's my body. So are we going?"
Remus nodded and took Harry's hand. The two apparated into the Leaky Cauldron... No one looked at them for nobody even recognized Harry with his new look. Harry was relieved when he realized that, Remus gave him a small smile before heading for Diagon Alley.
Harry had almost finished his purchases. Remus hadn't pestered Harry into having a conversation and they hadn't bumped into people they knew. Harry had had a relatively good day. He was in a pet shop looking at snakes when a guy bumped into him. Harry glared at him and realized who it was "Malfoy!" Harry spat
Draco looked at Harry confused, "You would be?"
"Hmmm let's see I have a stupid scar everyone keeps staring at, I'm in a stupid house I shouldn't be in, oh and I used to have two assholes hanging at my arm." Harry said in a cold emotionless tone.
Draco was shocked to say the least. That could not be Potter. He leaned forward and the scar was hidden by some blue hair. "So you really are Potter, what's that bullshit about being in the wrong house"
Harry laughed coldly "I should be a Slytherin, but I was an innocent 11 year old that thought Slytherin evil, I threatened the hat to burn it if he put me their, big mistake" He whispered into Draco's ear. He had never told a soul except Dumbledore and now Malfoy new.
He had taken the sword out of the hat in his second year but it all made sense now. He was a Slytherin at heart but if that house wouldn't exist he is secondly a Gryffindor, that is why he took out the Gryffindor sword, the Slytherin wasn't in the hat.
Draco's mouth fell open. He was gaping like a gold fish. Harry turned his attention to the snakes. He chose one that was exactly like the one on the Slytherin symbol.
Hello you Harry hissed. The snakes head tilted up and he opened his eyes.
Hello, I have never heard of a human that can speak our language the snake replied
Well very few can, My name is Harry and I would like the permission to adopt you. Harry said smiling at the snake.
Of course you can I would be honoured Harry. My name is Sauih, I am venomous but do not fear I will not bite you
I have trust in you Sauih. Now come I need to get t the counter Harry told her.
The salesman looked at Harry suspiciously, but didn't say anything but the prise. I'm paying 80 galleons for a friend, it's funny and oh so ironic, paying for a friendship Harry thought like that until he reached Remus in front of the shop waiting for him.
Remus jumped as he saw the venomous animal but was relieved when Harry talked to it. They headed for the Leaky Cauldron to eat. A clan of redhead were heading towards them. Hermione yelled "Remus" And ran up to them. She didn't even him and he was glad for it. They started talking animatedly with Remus when Ron looked at Harry like he was Voldemort in person. "Who the hell is he!!?"
"None of your business" Harry answered before Remus could open his mouth. Ron was glairing at him and the twins were looking at him with an interested air. Harry just shrugged it off and turned to face Remus. "Remus could you bring me back, I wanna get a start I'm my school books before I go back at Hogwarts"
Remus looked at him questionably but nodded. He bid the Weasleys and Hermione goodbye. From a side alley Draco had seen the exchanged confused Why is Harry avoiding his so called friends? Draco shrugged it off. He concentrated on how he was going to explain his situation to Dumbledore. He left for Malfoy Manor lost in thought, he blanked his thoughts when he step the Malfoy gates.
Harry was in his bed like he so often was. Cigarette in mouth dagger in hand, arm in blood. The only difference this time was the alarmed hiss of his new friend.
It feels good Sauih, don't understand just stay by my side and I'll be grateful Harry hissed in what would be a reassuring tone
I do not like to see you suffer Harry but I will always be by your side, no matter what happens. I am your friend till death and beyond. The snake replied quietly
Harry smiled weakly you can be so poetic
Sauih wrapped herself around the bleeding wrist to stop the blood. Harry's smile fainted but he muttered his thanks to Sauih and fell asleep with her protective grip around his wrist.
You deserve love and happiness, not all this pain she hissed at the sleeping young man.
My forth chapter yuppie! And they are getting longer. This one is three pages long the next will be much longer for it will include the train ride, the opening feast and the first day of class. Oh and Snape's first appearance ;)
