Locathah: I understand what your talking about, the chapters I've written, (and that's up to chap 28) they vary. Some are much bigger than others. And they might be short, but I review like twice a day, once when I get up in the morning, and later at night. So they might be short, but their constant. (shrugs shoulders) not much is going to change in that department

Uten: nope all are pre written, I've got up to chap 28 done plus future chaps that I couldn't wait to get out

Toras: No, the discussion wont be written. I've been trying to keep my writing style similar to that of J.K. Rowlings. Where everything is done pretty much from Harry's point of view, we never see the discussions that Hermione and Ron have together, only if Harry is there too. So unless harry is there to witness it, I wont be writing it.

COOLWEIRDO: LOL!!! Oh man I never thought you were serious! LFF threatened to hunt me down!

Please! I know. No worries!

Modern-Day Zarcon: Logan is having fun in Dumbledore's office trying to make them let Harry stay. And The professor is a Grimmauld Place along with storm and Beast, could you imagine the prof trying to get around Hogwarts in a wheelchair?

Chapter 23

Nothing to gain, Everything to loose.

Harry lay on his bed, not waiting for sleep, but for Jamie's breathing to deepen. After making sure that he wouldn't be heard, he slipped his shoes on and slipped out of the room.

An Hour later would find him on the couch that sat in front of the fireplace. He had drawn his legs up to his chest, and wrapped his arms around them, his eyes peeking out from under his messy hair, gazing unseeing at the fire.

He didn't want to be here. He knew that right away. Here was where he was a name, a symbol. There wasn't a person here that had ever truly known him, not that it was completely their fault. He had never let himself be known. But he had thought that his friends had known him enough, at least to know that he would never kill. Merlin, what had he done to make them ever consider it?

The look they had given him before he was lead away had put an end to any hope he may have had that they believed in him anyhow, and that their silence was something that couldn't be helped. But now. No he knew for sure now. Not only did they think him guilty, they feared him. Ron's words had cut him like a knife and Harry was slowly falling apart. How could he stay here? Everyone needed the protection that Hogwarts offered, but the wizarding world would never sit idle whilst they knew exactly where he was! And he couldn't let the others leave because of him, not with Voldemort out there lying in wait.

He closed his eyes trying to will back the prickling feeling behind his eyes, but it was for nothing, as he felt the wetness trail down his cheek. He hated this. He didn't want to leave them. For the first time in his life he had belonged! He was real, he was Happy! He wept for Jamie. The boy who Harry saw as everything he had lost. He wanted so much to protect the boy, so that it would never be taken from him as well. He Wept for Rahne, who he had found companionship in. Her attitude always reminding him of better things. He wept for Moyra, who he could never take this chance from. To be at a real school, to learn like a normal witch. To take that dream away would have been cruel. And so he wept for the bright smiles and the laughter that had given him hope. He wept for Kurt, who had always made him feel normal, who had been a kindred spirit. Who was now in Voldemort's clutches, along with Lance, Wanda and the morlocks.

And He wept for Ana, who had risked her own life to save his, to rescue him from Azkaban. She had been the one that had helped ease him into a muggle life, and taught him to see the wonder in magic again. She was the one who talked to him, listened to him when he needed to rant. Who understood if he was in a bad mood and just wanted to snap and anything that moved. He wept for her kindness and understanding, even when he couldn't understand himself. And he wept for the best friend he was going to have to leave behind.

He cried until his body shook with sobs, and his world dissolved into his own misery. He didn't even notice he was not alone until those arms wrapped around him, tucking his head under their chin. His hands unwound themselves from his legs and clutched at the body beside him. He fisted the purple silk of their robe in his hand and he sobbed at the unfairness of it all. He cried for Ron's hate, for Hermione's distrust. He cried for the home he lost, for the world that had turned their back on him. And he cried for the family he was about to loose.

He cried until he had no more tears left, and he still continued to sob, hiccupping every now and then. He cried himself into exhaustion, and he fell asleep with a tear still on his cheek, as Ana stroked his hair and held him in her arms.

(I was going to stop here but I think I'll add this part on instead)

Half an hour later Harry was still in her arms. It was then that Logan walked in, obviously in a bad mood, but Ana took the fact that he was not followed by an Army of Aurors who wanted to take Harry back as a good sign. He looked down at the pair, merely giving her a questioning look. She shrugged and went back to stroking his hair.

"Their gonna let us stay." His gruff voice sounding louder in the silence on the room.

"But?" Ana questioned knowing that it was too easy.

"But," he continued, "Their gonna have an eye on us. Everyone's gotta rein in on their use of their powers here. We're not restricted but no playin around, at least not outside of this room."

"And Harry?"

A deep sigh, "He cant go anywhere alone. And he's restricted to the Castle. The less time he spends around the students here the better, and he's not allowed in their dinning hall. Apparently that would cause mass panic or somethin."

"So how is he going to eat?"

"We'll have to bring him food back from the hall I guess. We'll work something out. It was the best I could do."

"Thank you Logan, I can't sa-"

"I can stay?" came the raspy voice from under Ana's chin.

Logan looked at the state of the boy. "Yeah kid, you get to stay."

They heard him sigh and Ana went back to stroking his hair as he fell into a peaceful slumber a small smile on his lips.

AN: Just to warn you all the chapters might be slowing down a bit, I have exams right now and I'm still not sleeping right. Sorry!
