A/N: sorry for this taking so. long. I had a mild case of writer's block.
But then I read all your reviews and I HAD to continue! Thank-you so.
much. I'll name you all later at the end! R+R! I tried to make it slightly
longer than normal.
* I hope this works.*
-Before apparating over to Diagon Alley.
Or so he hoped. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
With a 'pop' he appeared in a dark alley.
* Damn, where am I? Well what did I really expect? I haven't done that in a year. Now to find a way out of this mess.*
He started to investigate the surrounding area. It was defiantly a shopping alley of some sort with black cobbled pavements and what looked like shops around the edges. On closer inspection he realised that al the shops were closed or run-down or destroyed. Then it dawned on him.
* This is Knockturn (spelling) Alley! Of course! It looks the exact way it did after we raided it. damn. we're not allowed here anymore. that's why it looks the same. no ones been allowed in.damn I have to get out of here quickly*
He muttered a curse under his breath and quickly walked (as fast as he could without running) in the direction of Diagon Alley. Once he was safely ion the right alley he did a quick search of the surrounding area and quite a few things caught his eye. The main shock was what was located right infront of him, at first he had no idea what the crowded store was but on closer inspection his saw a 'WWW' sign above it the one and only sign for the Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes!
* Wow, they finally did it. * Harry smiled. * At least some peoples' dreams came through. *
The next thing that caught his eye was a new a new pub in place of what used to be a gift shop.
* Well I can always try there for breakfast.*
The last change that he noticed was a statue standing in the middle of the alley. Curious Harry walked to take a closer look.
(Am I too predictable?)
Then he stopped dead in his tracks and his tracks and his jaw hit the ground. It was of him! (No duh!) He just stood there and stared. The statue was of his holding his wand and his hair flying up revealing his scar, which shone in the light. After a few moments of complete shock he looked closer to see an inscription engraved at the bottom of it.
IN LOVING MEMORY OF:
HARRY JAMES POTTER (THE BOY-WHO-LIVED) 1986-2004
THE YOUNG MAN WHO SAVED THE WORLD FROM VOLDEMORTE
HE SAVED THE WORLD FROM DARKNESS AND FOUGHT AND BEAT THE BEST HE DIED AFTER HE SAVED US MAY HIS SPRIT BE LAYED TO REST.
He stood there and felt tears form in his eyes. He blinked hard to get rid of them but they fell freely.
*I can't think about this now * he thought angrily to himself. * Move it Potter, don't just stand there, people will start to stare. I need to get new robes anyway. * He thought pulling himself out of a trace.
He made his way towards 'Madam Malkins's Robes for all Occasions'. Ten minutes later he emerged from the store wearing brand new dark green robes. He had also bought a cloak the same colour with a hood so nobody would stare at his face; (He wasn't sure how good his disguise was).
With his new found outfit Harry looked at his watch. It was nearly 7.
* I might as well have breakfast now, then I can find victory field and the pitch. The match starts at 12 so I have a lot of time to kill. Maybe I'll just by a few newspapers and catch up on some news on what's happened. *
He made his way to the new pub and trying to keep his voice low he ordered some food and sat himself down near the back of the pub.
"Here you go Mr. Hayes. I hope you enjoy your breakfast." Said the young waitress as she smiled at him.
He smiled back quickly and thanked her. After his meal he decided that it was still too early to find 'victory field' so he made his way towards the Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes. When he entered he smiled noticing some of the twins old products like Canary Creams were still selling well while they had come up with a new line of items. He felt as though hr could have spent all day in the store. He made his way through the store placing a few things in his basket until he came infront of a plaque (spelling) on the wall next to the liquorice (spelling) leg locker sticks.
IN MEMORY OF HARRY POTTER.
Below this sign there were 'lighting lollies', which by the explanation on the back made a lighting scar, appear on your forehead for 1 hour.
* Brilliant! Now if anyone sees the scar by accident I can just say I ate one of those! *
He made his way to the queue and paid for his items, then he decided that since it was already 9 o'clock he might as well try to find out where the match was to be held. He walked along the street looking for any signs of where the field could be and when he found none he decided that he would ask at the next shop he pasted.
"Excuse me," started Harry to an old man behind a counter.
"How may I help you sir?" he asked.
"I was wondering, would you by any chance know where 'Victory Field' is?"
The old man gave Harry a strange look. He frowned.
"You mean to tell me you don't know where the final battle took place?" he asked.
It took a few moments for that to process in Harry's head:
* The final battle? What does he. does he mean where I defeated Voldemorte. that's why it's called victory field! I get I now! Where light conquered dark. *
"H. o. I'm sorry I just realized, I." he laughed trying to fake forgetfulness.
The old man smiled, "I know what you mean, going to see the world cup a?
Harry smiled and nodded.
" Well I understand how you forgot I mean no one really calls it that anymore. Took me a sec to figure out what you were on 'bout. With everyone calling it Harry Potter field an' all. "
The old man continued talking but Harry couldn't here him.
* Harry Potter field! What the. what in the world. I don't believe this first a statue now a bloody field? *
