A/N; I already have two more chapters done but I am going to be updating slowly. I have much editing to be done on them. Please review this and tell me what you think so far.
Chapter Two
Two years later…
Off the coast of Inverness there is a small cottage. That to all who look at it from the outside, think it should be condemned. The shingles are falling of the roof, the gutter is in shambles. It looks like with one good gust of wind the whole structure would come crumbling down. On the inside it was another story. There was a homey feel to it. The kitchen smelled of freshly baked cookies. The house was full of greens, and yellows. Nothing spoke of the pain that the occupants had been through. A boy about ten years of age walks into the kitchen "Dani what are we doing today?" Dani replies "Harry we are going to London, I have to get some things from Diagon Alley" she says while taking some cookies out of the oven. "Why, we have all the newts eyes, and nightshade we could ever need," Harry snarks. "Harry we are not going to get more potion supplies, we are going to get an owl since the last owl we got died on us last week" she replies, very annoyed. "We need them, it's the only way we have to communicate with Xana without being found by anyone we don't want finding us, if we have enough time we can stop by Glasglow, to see your friend Eddie." She cleans the kitchen up, and moves to go upstairs. "Dani, thanks for making my favorite cookies. You know I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for you" Harry says "I think of you as my family, because you are the only one that has been kind to me" Harry turns around and begins to go to his room to change for the trip.
An hour later they are on the road, passing thru Edinburgh and Leed along the way. As they enter the Leaky Cauldron, Harry pulls some of his hair forward to cover the lightening shaped scar on his forehead. They pass thru and head into Diagon Alley. They are immediately assaulted by the numerous smells, and freakish sights. "Bloody hell, why do we have to be here, it is way too crowded. I mean can't we get an owl back in Inverness." Harry complains after being shoved to the side by an old witch trying to get to the potion store. "The best owls are kept in here; I have told you that before. Besides which you're going to have to get used to it, when you turn eleven you are going to have to go to Hogwarts. Believe me you are going to be crowded there." Dani says as they enter the Owlery. They see hundreds of toads, cats, rats, and birds of every shape and size. As Dani passes by a Siberian White goshawk it starts to rattle its cage trying to get to her. Dani jumps back out of fright, when suddenly it manages to break out. Instead of attacking Dani it lands on her shoulder, rubbing it's beak against her face in a sign of affection. "Well I guess we found our new bird, now what shall we name you?" Harry looks at it and how it seems to be so brave, and stubborn, he says "Why don't we name him Talon?" wouldn't that be a fitting name for him. The hawk lets out squawk at that, Dani and Harry laugh at that. "Talon it is then, let's get you and head to Glasglow"
As they head out the door with Talon, they run into an old man, with a beard they almost touches the ground. Harry trips over the old man's shoes falling to the ground. As the old man reaches to help Harry he notices the scar on Harry's forehead and smiles. The long lost boy is safe, and healthy. "Sorry sir we didn't see you there, thanks for the help up" Harry says nervously. "No need to be sorry young man, I wasn't watching where I was going." The old man replies. Dani watches the man carefully to see if by any chance if he recognized the boy. When she doesn't see any sign that he does she steps in and says, "Well we aught to be going, we have to be somewhere before 5" as she begins to drag Harry away from the stranger. They leave Diagon Alley quietly, and head onto the road. The old man stares after them until he turns to leave, muttering to himself "Well I will see you next year Harry Potter, be safe until then."
