The Real Me- Chapter 2

Harry had woken up early this morning. He lay in bed trying to go back to sleep, but he could only think of the horrible task that lie ahead of him. He got up, showered, put on his make-up, dressed and made some scrambled eggs for breakfast. Then he brushed his teeth and sat on the couch trying to decide what he wanted to do today. He could hear Josh and his female prostitute giggling upstairs. (Harry had decided not to go out last night.) Harry decided he'd go for a walk. He grabbed his wallet with his muggle I.D. and money and chained it to his pants and stuck it in his back pocket. He walked down stairs to the lobby and out the double doors onto the street. He walked around the block occasionally going in to check out his favorite stores. He was people watching and trying to distract himself from the thoughts of Voldemort. He went into his very favorite store, Dashal's Dangerous Clothing. (I'm sure by now you can see where this is going). They had a new display up. The display was covered with Emily The Strange clothing and boxers with skeletons tiled all over them. Harry walked around inside looking at all the displays he had memorized. Then Dashal saw him and walked over to talk to him.

"Hey Harry. Have you seen the news yet today?"

"Hey Dash! Uh, no, why?" Harry normally checked the news everyday, to see what Voldemort was up to, but there hadn't been much happening lately.

"A big business building blew up mysteriously. They say it lit up in green flames. GREEN!"

"No way, you're kidding right?"

"Naw. But I can't, for the life of me, remember what the business was called."

"Huh." Harry said lost in thought. Voldemort was back. No doubt the building was a wizarding building and Dashal couldn't remember the name because of a spell.

"Anyway, I better be getting back to work. See ya Harry!" Dashal said cheerfully. Harry walked out of the store even more glum than when he went in. He walked toward the park that was in the middle of the square. It was surrounded by run down apartment buildings and other stores like Dashal's Dangerous Clothing.
