*~Chapter 4~*
Inside Number Four Privit Drive was dark, no lights were on, and occasionally you could hear a voice or two. Sirius and Remus were still inside the house, this time alone, because the Dursleys decided to leave, at the insistence of Petunia and Dudley, and were probably not going to be back for a few days. At the corner of this block, Albus Dumbledore stood, walking to number four.
'I wonder if everything is alright...everything must be alright, because Remus would contact me if anything went wrong...right?' Thought Dumbledore as he walked past Number 7 walking towards number 6.
*glass breaking sound*
Albus look towards Number 4 and he could see a light that was obviously from a wand, any muggle who saw it would probably think: 'That's one bright flash light' Albus started to run towards number 4, with speed unnatural for a old man.
"Alohamora" he whispered. And the door clicked open. What he saw was a total shock. Harry was at the foot of the stairs, completely passed out, with Remus tending to him and Sirius watching quietly.
*~*~*~*~Earlier that day~*~*~*~*
"REMUS, HURRY UP!" Halfway up the stairs when he heard that, he broke into a run, going and joining Sirius once again, to the gruesome sight, that was now, Harry Potter. Remus burst through the door of Harry's bedroom, and could see that Harry was having a fit about something. He was twitching and Remus could understand why this scared Sirius.
"Remus, he just starting doing, its freaking me out" As soon as Sirius was finished saying that, Harry stopped twitching.
"Well, I guess that solves that mystery" Remus stood up and started to pace around the room."Don't you wonder why Harry did all of this?"
"Yeah, I do a lot Moony. He never showed any signs, his weekly owls have stopped recently, but before that he said he was fine. Its like he's been lying to us all this time"
"I don't think he has been lying Padfoot, I think he thought we couldn't handle the truth." He stopped pacing and sat on the bed. "Padfoot, you can let go of his wrists now, I stopped the bleeding a long time ago..."
"Oh, sorry" And he let go. "You don't think he left a letter or anything?"
"Wanna check around?"
"Sure Moony. I'll check on his desk, you check his dresser"
"Okay"
They spent the next 10 to 15 minutes searching through Harry's things for a note.
*~*~*~*~*~Harry's P.O.V.~*~*~*~*~*
"My arms...."
To say Harry was in pain was easier than how he really felt. He felt like someone came with a hacksaw and tried to cut his hands off.
"Owwww"
"HARRY POTTER" A woman yelled out
"Who said that?!" Harry looked around. He was in what looked like a huge waiting room. It had bends around the corners, so from birds eye view, it would look like a U. It was dark, with old fashion chandeliers up high with 12 candles per chandelier. There were many chairs and sofas all around in the big room.
"Lily, maybe you shouldn't scare him so much" A man said
"James, he's got to be yelled at"
"Yelling will get us no where Lily"
"Your right James. We have to talk to him"
"Go get Cedric, I'll talk to him first."
"James...Lily...Cedric...that means...Dad?"
"Yes Harry, its me. I have seen what you did to yourself...Why?"
"Cedric's death was all MY fault!"
"No Harry, it wasn't. Cedric would have died either way. It was his time. If he didn't die there, he would have died at Hogwarts, on the train, somewhere, but within a week he would be dead"
"How can you say that?!"
"Death comes and goes Harry. When its your time, its your time. You can do nothing to avoid death, because in the end, you will welcome it with open arms."
"But...what if it wasn't his time..."
"He made sure it was really his time as soon as he got here. It wasn't your time yet Harry."
"First of all, where are we?"
"We are in the world between the living and the dead."
"How wasn't it my time?"
"You were suppose to die of natural causes when you were older than Albus."
"So what will happen now? Will I get to stay here with you and mom?"
"Harry, being so young, and ending your life so soon isn't good. You have been given a choice."
"What kind of choice?"
"You can either go back to the living would..."
"Right..."
"Or you could stay in the world of the dead, condemned to hell for the rest of eternity."
"What do you mean hell?! Why can't I stay here with you?!"
"Suicide is a deadly sin Harry. Death doesn't like it. She punishes severely for it."
"Well screw Death. I'm staying here with you for the rest of eternity"
Lily and Cedric came back.
"You can't do that Harry. You can't stay with us. Death would never allow it"
"Mom?!"
"Yes Harry, and look who I brought with me."
"Cedric..."
"Harry..."
"We'll leave you two to talk." Both Lily and James left.
"Well?"
"Well what Cedric? Look, I'm sorry..."
"For what huh? Killing me?!"
"I didn't mean to!"
"You never do, you stupid murderer!"
Anger rising, Harry pushed Cedric and said
"Don't you ever call me that, you stupid priss"
"You did not just go there!"
"Run to daddy, he'll heal the boo boo"
"At least I have a daddy!"
Harry ran towards Cedric, grabbed him by the waist, pulling him down to the floor. Harry and Cedric were rolling around on the floor, Cedric on top, the Harry, then Cedric, then Harry. The punched, kicked, and even bit every part of each others body they could get their hands on. Harry felt hands on his back, pulling him back, but he moved forward quickly, and the hands were momentarily off. Harry took this opportunity to hit Cedric upside the head, causing him to see stars. Cedric landed a punch in Harry's stomach, and Harry kicked him in the back. Hands were ripping Cedric and Harry apart, and Death her self came to see what was going on.
"WHAT IS GOING ON HERE!"
"Watch Cedric, I'm going to kill you!"
"Sorry Harry, YOU ALREADY DID!"
"Then I'll do it AGAIN!"
"SILENCE!" Never had death seen such behavior for someone she was giving a second chance to. Usually people would grateful, but this boy radiated so much hatred from him. "What did you think you were doing Mr. Potter?!"
"Ask the bitch over there"
"No respect. Mr. Potter, let me remind you, you are being given a second chance at life. Many people would spend thousands of years burning in hell just to even be considered for this opportunity. But you...what do you do? You come here and start fighting with one of the new arrivals!"
"Hey miss, he started this shit. Telling me that he has a dad. At least mine isn't a pussy (AN: wuss) like yours!"
Chaos broke out, and Cedric and Harry were at it again. Cedric managed a punch on Harry's nose and eye, while Harry managed to kick Cedric behind the knee, punch him in the stomach, and kick him on the ribs before they were pulled apart by Death herself.
"Mr. Potter! Mr. Diggory! Why shouldn't I stick you both in hell right now?!"
"Go ahead and stick me in, see if I care" Harry shrugged her hand off him, and stood in front of her. "You've taken many people that are dead because of me, so why not just keep me here? Huh? CAUSE THE WIZARDING WORLD NEEDS ME! You think I like being Harry Potter, the-boy-who-lived?! I HATE EVERY DAY AND EVERY MOMENT OF MY LIFE! I want to be left alone, but noooo. The world always needs another favor from Harry Potter!"
"Mr. Potter, I think you should leave this world at once before I condemn you to hell for the rest
of your life."
"You know what? I'm leaving. Get me back to earth at once. But I'll guarantee that you'll be sorry"
"LEAVE!"
"See you later Mom, Dad, Chicken shit"
Death had to hold Cedric back before another fight broke out.
Harry was transported back to his room in Privit drive. He had his senses back, so he was in a lot of pain. Opening his eyes, Harry saw that both Remus and Sirius were going through his things. 'I'm glad my cigarettes are in the secret compartment of my trunk'. Over the summer, Harry had seen a group of guys walking through the park, smoking. Harry asked them if he could get a cigarette, and they were surprised by this. He looked so young and innocent, and that type of person doesn't just walk up to someone and say 'Can I have a Cigarette?' They took an immediate liking to him, and he was now part of the Black Clan, one of the many groups who dressed in a certain color to show who they represent. He went out with them everyday, smoked, went and stole from stores, and sold drugs. Since summer was almost over, he was supplied with many different kinds of drugs, including Weed, Cocaine, Crack, LSD, Angel Dust, Extascy , Shrooms, and many different kinds of liquor. He was to sell it at his school and bring back the money. He would get half of all profit. All of this was hidden in the Secret compartment of his trunk. This compartment is invisible to everyone other than the owner of the trunk. Harry, trying not to make a sound, scooted over, towards the edge of bed before he heard Remus and Sirius talking.
"Hey Pad, I'm gonna go make myself a cup of tea. I'm just too stressed to do anything right now."
"I know what you mean, and I gotta go to the bathroom."
"Lets meet me in the kitchen when your done."
"What if Harry wakes up?"
"I don't think he'll wake up while I'm making tea"
"Okay..."
He heard the door open and close and luckily it didn't close all the way. He scooted to the edge and sat up, putting his hands on the bed to support his weight, but his wrist screamed out in protest. 'Thanks for not putting a pain numbing spell on me Remus' Harry thought as he stood up, swaying slightly and walked to the door. His leg, back, stomach, and face hurt from the hits he received from Cedric. 'I didn't know the injuries transferred to my body too.' He thought as he listened by the door. He could hear Sirius walking towards the bathroom which was down the hall, turning right, second door on the left. He walked towards the stairs, planing on escaping, when Sirius came around the corner.
"HARRY!"
Harry turned around too quickly, surprise evident in his eyes, lost his balance, fell down the rest of the stairs, and was still conscious when he hit the floor. Looking up he saw Remus standing in the kitchen door way, and with a *glass shattering sound* it was confirmed that he had dropped his mug in surprise. Harry looked up the stairs at Sirius who mearly looked back. Pain overwhelmed him, and he passed out.
