Woah.

I wasn't expecting that many reviews! Especially that many saying "this wasn't crap". THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just checked the reviews there. 29!!! Argh! For the entire fic. 29 reviews. Amazing.

So here's the next chapter. This one won't have LP songs in it. Just mentions of them.

So here you go!!!!!!!!

Harry and Mike walked down the road. Mike had to pass Privet Drive on his way back to... well, wherever he came from. This reminded Harry to ask, "So I take it your parents aren't happy about you being a squib?"

Mike laughed, very sarcastically. "No duh. They hate it. They constantly remind me that I'm a burden to them. They're purebloods you see. Normally they would have put me up for adoption, but my aunt convinced my mum (who's her sister) to let me stay."

Staring at him, Harry asked "So... how do you survive with that?"

"Oh, Annie, my carer, helps. She's a muggle, but that's why my parents hired her. She has a husband who's a wizard. So it wasn't a shock to her. She taught me all I had to know about the muggle world. My world."

"But surely you know about the wizarding world as well?"

"No. Not really. My parents don't see the point. So I don't go near anything wizarding. It's just safer that way I guess."

Harry found this quite a blessing. Once Mike discovered he was a wizard, he was afraid he'd soon recognize him. But if he didn't know anything... then how could he?

"What about you?"

Shocked, he responded dumbly "What about me?"

"You know. Your past. Go on, you can tell me. We'd probably end up telling each other anyway. I think the writing process would end up dragging it out one way or another."

Sighing, Harry sat down on a wall at the corner of Privet Drive.

"It's a long story, Mike."

"Well, I doubt my parents will notice my absence. So speak."

"Fine. But I'm giving you the shortened version." Mike nodded his agreement and motioned Harry to continue.

"Well, for one thing, my names not Chester. It's Harry. Harry Potter. God that sounded so James Bondish." He shook his head to clear it of the random thoughts floating around it. "When I was one year old, a dark lord came to my house. Voldemort. You heard of him?"

Mike shook his head in a 'no'.

"Simply put, he's this bad ass guy who wanted to kill all muggles, muggleborns and half-bloods. Despite the fact he himself was half-blood. Oh, yeah, he was also the heir of Slytherin." At Mikes slightly puzzled expression he added "One of the founders of Hogwarts. And he, for some reason, wanted to kill my family."

Harry decided it was better not to tell Mike of the prophecy.

"So on Halloween, not long after I turned one year old, Voldemort came to my house. He killed my dad, who was trying to give my mum time to get away with me. He killed my mum, who died trying to protect me. Then he turned to me."

He paused and took a breath.

"He shot the killing curse at me. But, it didn't work."

"It didn't work!? I've heard my dad mentioning that. It can kill anyone and everyone."

"Except for that one time it hit me. It rebounded and turned him into a sort of shadow, and left me with this scar." He pulled up his bangs and gave Mike a look at the infamous scar.

"Since then I started Hogwarts, and every year I end up fighting Voldemort. One way or another, at least. And ever since I was one, I've been famous in the wizarding world."

"Woah."

"You can say that again."

"Erm... what do you say after hearing something like that?"

"Don't know. But I'll see you tomorrow at Rob's. Nine right?"

"Right."

******************************************************************************************************

The next day Harry had woke up at seven in the morning with the intention to sneak out the house and just walk around until it was time to go to Robs.

What he hadn't expected was to have Tonks randomly appear right in front of him.

"Where the hell do you think you're going at this time in the morning? We had an alarm go off saying you'd left the house."

"Erm... hi."

"Hi. Now answer the question."

"I'm going to a friends house."

"At seven in the morning?"

"Well, how else would I be able to escape the Dursleys? And I'm not due round to my friends house 'till nine."

"Oh well. But now I've got to stay here till eight. That's when the first shift starts."

"Well, I could do with some company..."

Harry walked around with Tonks until it was time for her to swap. Five minutes later she'd came back blushing muttering about how it was actually her turn. He just chuckled and continued walking with her again.

Soon, it was time for Tonks to disappear (invisible, mind you. Not gone) and for Harry to go to Robs.

Ok, I'm soooooooooooo sorry. a) for this taking so long and b) for me cutting this chapter in half.

But I've got exams from Monday there until next Wednesday. (Why damn it!? WHY!!!!!?????)

So I thought, I'll post the half of the chapter I've already written, and post the rest when I've got it.

So, it'll now be two separate chapters.

BUT PLEASE REVIEW ANYWAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Even flames! I'm freezing at the moment!!!
