Disclaimer: see first chapter.
A/N: At last the final chapter of the Street Life. First off I would like to thank everyone who reviewed this. Your support helped me finish it.
There is a sequel; on my bio it is being called The Street Life: Goblet of Fire but that's only its working title. As I have many writing commitments and other things I cannot write the sequel straight away, it will (hopefully) pop up sometime around January next year. So keep an eye out!
Chapter 22
Bolt never knew if his second dream was real, he had kept an eye out for news of a wizarding murder but nothing came. Bolt disregarded the dream and was riding a high since he was allowed to go into fourth year with everyone else next year, he would need tutoring but the teachers (apart from Snape) thought he could manage.
It was the last week of school and Bolt was looking forward to the holidays. Ron was talking about the Quiddich World Cup and being able to get tickets. It would also mean since he had been fairy well behaved that he would get to see Blondie and Zazza again.
Currently sitting in the library was Bolt, receiving vital study materials from Hermione.
"This one would be good; you said that you had trouble with potions." Hermione waved a large thick book. "And this one would give you a start on next years charm work; you said you did fairly well with charms." She placed another book in Bolt's arms.
"I need something on practical defence against the dark arts, I passed the written but I suck at the magical part." Bolt explained over the pile of books.
She nodded and ran her finger along the book spines. "This one might work." She added to the pile. She looked at someone behind Bolt and called. "Hello Professor Lupin!"
"Hello Hermione. I see you're helping Harry for next year." Remus smiled. "I'm sure Harry has you to thank for passing his exams." Hermione blushed. She had given him a lot of help in studying for the exams. She seemed to know all the right books he needed plus she was fun to be around.
"Harry did plenty himself." She replied.
Bolt rolled his eyes and said: "Is there a reason you're here or do you just like flirting with Hermione?"
Remus turned to him and in his teacher voice told him: "I am not flirting with a student." His voice changed and he continued. "I was just seeing if you had seen Sirius I haven't seen him all day and I had a feeling he is up to no good."
"Nope haven't seen him. Maybe he is meeting that girl he met at the Hogs Head last week." Bolt supplied.
"Yes that would make sense." Nodded Remus.
"Sirius needs to get laid. He's been in prison for twelve years. If I were him I would have gotten a hooker the moment I got out." Bolt added.
"That's disgusting." Hermione gasped.
Remus sighed and shook his head. He left Hermione and Harry to bicker and continued looking for Sirius.
Turned out that Sirius had been planning the master prank for the end of year feast. He had been redecorating everyplace he could. The Slytherin common room, the Great Hall, Dungeons and many classrooms had been turned bubblegum pink.
He had also become Fred and George Weasley's new mentor. He explained about his days at Hogwarts, pranking and full of mischief whilst Fred and George explained their business that they were hoping to start.
"You shouldn't corrupt students like that." Remus had scolded. But Sirius became a legend once more and received much more respect than fear now.
On the night of the final feast, Bolt had been reading in the common room and had fallen asleep.
Barty Crouch walked slowly up the driveway. Cloaked in darkness. He couldn't believe the simplicity of his master's plan but did not voice his thoughts.
With a swift knock an old woman answered the door. "Avada Kedavra." She fell limp and he stepped over her body.
"Mrs. Figg who is it?" A female voice called. He smiled and headed down the small hallway. He stood in the doorway of the room where a white blonde headed girl sat on a bare bed.
"Hello." She greeted him lazily as if she was used to strange men in her room.
He looked down upon her. "You Harry Potter's girlfriend?"
She shook her head. "Nope. We have had sex many times though but I do not love him. I love Zazza and we often have threesomes." She laughed. "Write that in your newspaper."
She thought he was a reporter, he decided now was the opportune moment and lifted his wand.
She straightened up immediately. "Don't point that at me!" She snapped.
He was about to curse her when he felt someone tap him on the shoulder. He turned and saw a fist fly into his face.
He fell on the ground with a thump. He had forgotten about the boy. He stood there looking triumphant. He raised his wand once more but received a swift kick in the ribs from the girl.
"What the fuck are you doing?" She asked and stood on his hand, forcing the wand down. She picked it up and twirled it in her fingers. "Not so tough now are we?"
He smiled. "No more kiddy games." He took the boy out first. He pulled his hand quickly from under the girl's foot which overbalanced her. He launched forward and grabbed the boy by the neck with one hand. He saw a glass of water sitting on the side table and smashed it hard on the boys head. He fell limp, not dead just as his master had asked.
The girl had jumped back up and swung hard at him. He felt his jaw being dislocated. Nothing that a few spells couldn't fix. She no longer had the wand, it lay next to the bed, forgotten. He rolled out of her foots path snatched the wand. He lifted it and shot a spell at her. She let out a gasp and fell to the ground.
Phase one of the plan was now complete.
"NO!" Bolt screamed and sat up. Still in the common room though now the feast was well underway. He had to tell Remus and Sirius now. He didn't even remember leaving his chair or running at all. All he could remember was chanting to himself. It's just a dream. It's just a dream. Over and over.
Bursting into the Great Hall he startled many but ignored them as he sprinted to the teachers table.
"Blondie, Zazza, the man" He moaned as he got up there.
"Harry what's wrong, what's going on?" Sirius asked.
"Blondie and Zazza were attacked by the man." Bolt wheezed. "We need to get to the house in case he hasn't left yet."
Sirius wheeled Bolt by the shoulders and led him to the fireplace. "I'll go first." Sirius disappeared in a green flame and Bolt followed.
The first thing Bolt saw when he appeared in the house was Mrs. Figg's body laying at the door. He ran down to Blondie's room and there was nothing. It was a mess from the scuffle with Blondie, Zazza and the man. Where Zazza had been hit the carpet was stained with blood.
After seeing the massive amount of blood he didn't remember much. Everything seemed to bur together, Sirius taking him back to Hogwarts, being questioned by Dumbledore then answering the wizard version of police's questions.
He walked through his final day at Hogwarts in a daze and boarded the train with everyone else. As he sat in the compartment alone (he had told everyone who approached him to piss off) he decided what he was going to do.
He would find Blondie and Zazza. He would have another dream he was sure of it now. He would get Lucky and the others to help. They knew and respected Blondie and Zazza and would kill for them.
He wouldn't tell anyone of his plan. He knew that this man and his 'master' were after him and he would not endanger anyone else. He would show them what happened when you messed with street kids.
The train was almost at London and Bolt realized that almost a year had past since he had run into Sirius and changed his life. To think that one year ago he would have been still stealing to keep himself alive.
He would save the only family he had ever known, with or without the help of others.
Epilogue
So on that day when the train pulled to a holt, Harry "Bolt" Potter climbed off the train dressed in his old street clothes and walked off from Kings Cross station with nothing but a wand, the clothes on his back and a plan of revenge……..
