Hermione514- Yeah the dream is kinda freaky. I normally can't do Harry's dreams.
Chapter 2:
Harry woke up to his aunt Petunia pounding on his door. The first thought that hit Harry was * I didn't have a nightmare* his heart lifted at that thought. Harry got up and dressed and went down to the kitchen where Vernon and Dudley were already stuffing their faces, a disgusting site. Before Harry could sit down Vernon managed to say "Get the mail" with his mouth full.
Harry went to the front door and picked up the mail off the floor but before he could turn around he heard sniffling coming from the other side of the door. Harry opened the door slowly not making any noise and saw a little boy sitting on the front steps, crying and sniffling.
"Um Excuse me?" Harry said for a lack of anything better.
The little boy turned around and Harry almost gasped. The boy looked just like him minus the scar and glasses, the boy had jet black hair, it was a little neater then Harry's, and he also had big green eyes, that were wide in all their innocence.
The boy gave a tiny sniffle that pulled Harry to reality. Harry didn't know what to do so he asked "What's your name and what are you doing out here?"
"I'm Tom and I don't know why I'm here" the little boy answered.
"Where is your home, Tom?" Harry asked looking around for anybody who might be looking for the young boy.
"I don't have one" Tom answered sadly. Harry's heart dropped at that comment.
"BOY WHAT'S TAKING YOU SO LONG?" Vernon yelled from the kitchen.
"Coming!" Harry replied. He bit his lip and looked at Tom then made a decision.
"Come with me Tom" he told the little boy. Tom obeyed eagerly and followed Harry to the kitchen.
When Vernon saw Harry he was about to start a yelling spree until he saw Tom "Who is that?"
"This is Tom, I found him on the steps, he doesn't have a home" Harry replied and Tom clutched to Harry's leg.
"We'll take him to the orphanage then" Vernon was surprisingly calm.
"No" Harry said. All the Dursely's looked at him in shock.
"What did you say boy?" Vernon hissed.
Harry took a deep breath * go on Sherlock* he told himself "No, please don't send him to the orphanage"
Vernon laughed "Why not?"
"He can stay with me in my bedroom, I-I'll find a job, a summer job to pay for anything he might need, just please don't send him to the orphanage" Harry absently put his hand on Tom's head.
Vernon looked angry but the look faded and Vernon said "Alright but only if you get a job and pay for his things may he stay"
"Thank you I'll start looking for a job today" Harry murmured and went to his bedroom with Tom in tow.
When they got to the bedroom Harry closed the door and Tom sat on the bed. Harry turned to Tom "Looks like you'll be staying with me then"
Tom nodded. Harry then asked "How old are you Tom?"
Tom held up four fingers "Five" he said.
Harry chuckled and pried Tom's thumb so Tom was holding up five.
"That's five" Harry told him and Tom looked at his hand in wonder.
"oh" was all Tom said as he looked at his hand.
Harry looked at Tom and felt for the boy * I'll be his father, nothing can make me stop loving him * he thought.
/nothing?/ that nasty other voice asked.
* nothing * ~
