Chapter 21
Last Time:
"You don't know anything." Harry's voice was barely above a whisper. "You think you know me so well. You don't know the first thing about me. So don't pretend to know what I went through. You abandoned me, not the other way around. You remember that always. You. Abandoned. Me." Harry jerked out of his robe and pushed past Sirius, leaving the two behind, his father still holding his robe.
The day of Matt's birthday quickly approached. Lily had been depressed and put on a mask for when her children were around. She kept it hidden well, but Harry could see the pain in her eyes every time she looked at him. He only spoke to his father when he had to and he avoided him as much as possible. The bond had been repaired, for the most part, between Harry, Simeon, and Miccy. Miccy had agreed to let Harry, Simeon, and the rest of the Potters go through her fireplace.
"All right, let's go round 'em up." Harry said to Simeon in a southern accent.
"Right on partner." Simeon replied. He made an imaginary salute with a hat and both boys walked out in search of Matt and the rest of the people going to America. Harry had already gotten permission from Dumbledore, though the old man only agreed because he thought it would bring Lily out of her depression. Harry found Matt and transfigured a pencil he had brought with him into a rope before using magic to lasso him in. To say the young Gryffindor was surprised would be an understatement. The boy was so shocked that he remained silent until Harry had lassoed his mother and brought them to the room that he was meeting Simeon in.
"What's going on?" Matt asked.
"You'll find out in a bit." Harry said as he watched the door.
"Why am I tied up?" The boy asked his brother.
"Because I felt like it." Harry muttered.
"You tied them up!" Simeon laughed as he entered the door.
"I told you we would round them up." Harry grinned innocently, though the mischievous sparkle in his eyes ruined the look.
"Let's go then. Here's some floo powder, say 'the Barn'." Simeon gave floo powder to all of them. He went first and was followed by Kimber. Lily went next, then Matt and James. Harry left last.
"Kari dropped the van off and here are the keys." Miccy gave Harry the keys. "She filled it up and left a twenty in the glove compartment for gas. She also said that this pays her up. I got you four rooms at the Holiday Inn with the note you owled me. They weren't happy, but it's done." Miccy explained.
"Thanks Miccy, but why four?" Harry asked.
"I'm coming too! I figured that I could share a room with Kimber, your parents get a room, you and Simeon get a room, and the birthday boy gets a room all to himself." Miccy explained.
"What about you stay in a room with me and Simeon and Kimber share a room." Harry asked, his voice husky, and his eyes sparkling.
"I don't know what the bloody hell is going on, but Kimber is not going to share a room with your kind." James growled to Harry and Simeon. Harry felt as though he had been punched in the gut, but he didn't show it. Lily showed her displeasure with her husband and slapped him hard across the face.
"How dare you say something like that." She hissed. "I never want to hear something like that come out of your mouth again." She then turned to Harry. "And don't you provoke him."
"All right, first we have to go to the bank. Simeon has to do something there. Then we go to the mall." Miccy said, trying to lighten the situation. "Right, Harry?"
"Yeah, come on." The teen left the house and got into the dark blue van in the driveway. "Who's going to sit in the front? If anyone?" He asked. "Better yet, how many of you have been in a car before?"
"I've been on the night bus." Matt said.
"That doesn't count. James, Kimber, and Matt have never been in an automobile." Lily said.
"All right, then. Matt, you're up front because you're the birthday boy. The rest of you get in the back and buckle up." Harry said.
"You aren't old enough to have a license." Lily said.
"I know how to drive, been doing it for years." Harry said offhandedly as he adjusted the mirrors, radio station, and seat. The group of people got in and Harry backed out of the driveway. It only took ten minutes to get to the bank and Simeon jumped out. "All of you stay in the van. You can open the windows if you want but this is Simeon's business."
"What are you doing? This is against school rules and could be considered kidnapping." James spat.
"I have permission from Dumbledore and this is a trip to the States for Matt's birthday. But you should keep yourself busy, legal business can take a long time." Harry said.
"Legal business? Is it about his dad? It was all over the news about how he killed himself so close to his release date." Miccy said. Harry gave her a sharp nod.
"He inherits everything. But his guardian couldn't come with today and instead referred us to one of the few people in town that can move his stuff to a vault in Gringe Hotts or something like that." Harry explained.
"Gringotts." Kimber said helpfully. Harry shrugged. By the time Simeon got out, the group was ready to leave.
"Now, the mall!" Miccy cheered. Harry rolled his eyes at the girl's eagerness, but set off to the mall.
"What's a mall?" Matt asked.
"It's a huge shopping market. This one has three levels; the bottom is a gaming place. But we won't go there because we don't have a whole lot of money." Harry said. "Now here is a huge tip. You never willingly go with a girl. They can spend hours looking for clothes in one store."
"Shut up you chauvinistic pig!" Miccy yelled, throwing a stray cup at Harry's head. Harry just laughed.
"Watch the road!" Lily yelled. Harry's head snapped to the front and he instinctively began to break. He pressed the gas again when he realized that there wasn't a problem.
"Don't. Do. That." Harry panted, a hand on his chest. "Scared me half to fucking death." He kept going until something hit his window. He glared at the car and then glared harder when he recognized the ones in the car.
"Learn to drive ass! You almost wreaked my goddamn car, you fucking bitch!" The driver yelled.
"Hey, Time, That's Sirius fucking Johnson!" The passenger yelled. The driver looked up quickly before looking back at the road.
"Haven't seen you around school, Johnson! Moved in with your girlfriend to fuck her? Or did she adopt you?"
"You won't have to worry about seeing me at school, but you might see me at home, even though your momma's a lousy fuck, your sister isn't!" Harry snapped. The other boy's face turned red.
"At least I know my momma! Your daddy probably killed the whore because she's such a lousy lay!"
"Your daddy walked out after he saw your ugly face!" Harry's tongue was spitting poison. "If I remember right, and I do, your dad married a fucking slut, then adopted me short term!"
"I bet your parents killed themselves to get rid of you. What was your question? What's a mommy and a daddy?" A kid in the back asked. Harry smirked.
"Well? What is it? I bet your druggie bitch of a whatever the hell she is doesn't even know she had a son."
"Roll that window up." Lily said in a deadly voice.
"Well, it's been nice chattin' so I'll see you in hell. And remember to take that stick out of your ass before sticking anything else up there!" Harry yelled before turning into the mall's parking lot.
AN: That little conversation between Harry and the teens in the other car, I've actually heard 'conversations' a lot like that at school and stuff. So it isn't all made up, most of the stuff I hear is actually worse though and has much more cursing in it.

Angel of Light3- i don't want to torture anyone! But i had started working on this story about a year ago at school and i spent a lot of last summer thinking about Simeon's dad and the trip to america, among other parts of the story. so i spent a whole summer in suspense! The sad part about this is that im supposed to be the one that actually knows what's going on. I'm planning on getting the whole story posted by the end of summer.
