"Good morning" Sirius said as Harry sat down at the breakfast table.
Harry gave a small, sleepy smile.
"Hey Sirius" Draco said as he sat by Harry
"Where's Lupin"He asked as Sirius grinned
"He's currently living with Tonks"Sirius said
"So he's not living here" Draco said disappointed "Who's gonna break up our arguments"He asked
"I sopose Harry has inherited the job" Sirius said happily
"What job" Harry asked not listening to their conversation
"The job of breaking up our arguements"Draco sanapped as Sirius put a plate of food in front of each of them
"Did you cook this" Draco asked wrinkling his nose in fake disgust
"Yes" Sirius snapped "Eat it" Draco shook his head
"I'm too young to die" He whispered with a smile as Sirius glared at him
"Something wrong Harry" Sirius asked as he noticed the boy's silence
"No just tired" Harry mumbled as Draco gave in and started shoving food into his mouth
"Ha" Sirius said "I win" Draco nodded as he continued to eat
"I'm not hungry" Harry whispered as he pushed his food away
"You sick" Sirius asked as he got up and felt Harry's forehead
"I'm fine" Harry said pushing Sirius's hand away "Just don't have much of an appetite" He said as he leaned back in his chair
"It's good" Draco said with a full mouth
"Ok then" Sirius said "Hopefully you'll be hungry by dinner cuz the Weasley's are coming over"
Harry nodded "I'm going back to bed" he said as he got up from his chair and made his way upsatirs leaving Sirius and Draco both worried about him.
Harry quietly shut his bedroom door and locked it. He couldn't explain where his feelings of sadness were coming from but he knew what he needed.
He quickly ran to his trunk and once again took out the knife Sirius had given him.
He stared at the stained blade as he lowered onto his left forearm digging it into the skin.
He hissed at the pain the cut had brough but smiled as he saw the blood run down his arm.
He knew that this little habit made him demented but he didn't care. He needed this.
He waited until the bleeding had stopped and then he put the knife back in it's place feeling a lot better.
He took out his notebook and started to write his poetry, another habit he had got addicted to.
He stayed in his room the whole day until Sirius came to get him for dinner.
"Harry" Sirius said knocking softly on the door "Time to eat" he said quietly as Harry quickly changed his clothes and opened the door.
"Good" Harry said cheerfully " I'm starving"
Sirius raised his eyebrows "Have you slept all day" Sirius asked
"No" Harry said "Just starting my summer homework"
Sirius grinned "How much have you got done" He asked
"None" Harry said with a shrug "I got confused" he said defensively as Sirius laughed
"Let's eat" Sirius said as he led Harry down the stairs and into the kitchen where the Weasley's were already grouped around the table.
"Harry" Ginny yelled as she jumped up from the table and hugged Harry tightly as Hermione followed
"Thank god you're ok" Hermione whispered as ahe and Ginny let him go
"Ok mate" Ron asked as Harry nodded
"Harry dear" Molly said through her tears as she pushed Ginny, Ron, and Hermione out of the way and pulled Harry into a huge bear hug
"Mrs.Weasley" Harry said trying to get loose " Air becoming issue... can't breath" he said as Molly let him go
"oh dear the family's missed you so much" she said wiping her tears away.
Harry nodded" Thanks Mrs.Weasley uh... I've missed you too" he said as he sat down by Draco who tries to withhold a giggle
"It's hot in here Sirius" Mr.Wesley growled "Mind if I open a window" he asked as Sirius nodded and continued to fill the plates up with food.
"Oh let me help you"Molly said as she rushed to Sirius's side
"Aren't you hot in long sleeves" Arthur asked as he sat back down
"No" Harry said quickly "I'm actually kind of cold" he said not meeting the other's eyes
"You sure" Sirius asked as he sat a plate in front of Harry.
Harry nodded as he picked up his fork.
"Want some help mum" George asked
"No" Molly yelled "Just stay where you are" she growled as Arthur laughed
"This morning the boys snuck a canary creme into Molly's eggs" he said laughing "she's still a little mad"
Fred and George grinned mischeivesly
"A little mad" Molly yelled putting a plate in front of her husband "I'm a lot mad" she snapped as she sat down
"We said we were sorry" Fred and George said as they grinned behind their hands.
Dinner was great although Harry didn't eat much but no one took notice which he was thankful for. The Weasley's stayed until nightfall just talking and joking while the kids and Sirius pllayed Quidditch in the backyard.
Soon everyone had went home and Sirius, Draco and Harry were the only ones that remained in Grimmauld Place.
Harry sat in the chair by the fire writting in his notebook.
"Hey" Sirius said flooping down on the floor next to Harry's chair "Whatcha writing" he asked
"Just stuff" Harry said shrugging
"what kind of stuff" Sirius asked
Harry sighed "words" Harry said
Sirius rolled his eyes"What do the words say "he asked annoyed
"It's mostly just poems" Harry replied
"I didn't know you wrote poetry" Sirius said suprised "Your dad used to write poems for Lily all the time"
"Really" Harry asked suddnely not so ashamed of his poetry anymore.
"Yea"Sirius said with a grin "why don't you read me something" he said
Harry hesitated but nodded as he began to search through his notebook
"This one's good" Harry whispered "He's dying but they refuse to tell him the truth..." but Harry was interupted when the door opened
"Sirius I'm here to see Draco" a woman said
"oh hi Lindsay and Amanda" Sirius said getting to his feet "Dray's upstairs" she nodded staring at Harry
"This is my godson" Sirius said standing next to Harry
"Oh hi" she said shaking Harry's hand "I'm Draco's godmother"
Harry nodded" I'm Harry" he said
"Nice to meet you" she said "Come on Lindsay let's go see Dray,Dray"she said
"Dray,Dray" the little girl yelled
"Calm down Amanda" Lindsay said grabbing her daughter's hand and leading her upstairs.
Sirius turned back to Harry "you may continue" he said
"No it's ok" Harry said
"Come on" Sirius said playfully "I really want to hear your poem" he said "Start over please" Sirius begged as he once again set down in the floor by Harry's chair.
"He's dying but they refuse to tell him the truth He knows something's wrong They said it's to protect him That's their excuse The pain becomes overwhelming and he finally lets out a cry He stops breathing Still denying to himself that his loved ones would lie" He finished as he looked up at Sirius.
"Wow that's really heavy" Sirius whispered "It scares me a little bit... but it was beautiful" he said quickly as Harry shut his notebook and Lindsay and Amanda came down the stairs followed by Draco
"Sirius we should go" Lindsay said "We have a meeting at Dumbledore's"
Sirius jumped to his feet "oh yes that we do"he said
"Draco, Harry you guys wouldn't mind watching Amanda would you" Lindsay asked
"No"Draco said
"YAY!" Amanda yelled "I get to stay with Dray,Dray"she said as she jumped into Draco's arms
"I've gotta go" Sirius said as he grabbed his coat
"uh..Bye " Harry said as Amanda pulled on his shirt sleeve
"Come play with me and Dray,Dray"She said as Harry nodded
"Love ya boys" Sirius said as he rushed out the door
"Come on Amanda" Draco said as he grabbed her hand
"I'm going out"Harry said pulling on his coat
"where" Draco asked
"The park" Harry replied as he slammed the door.
Harry quickly walked to the park having a hard time seeing where he was going due to the darkness. The streetposts were his only source of light..
He was so upset and had all these different emotions yet he felt numb at the same time. He was so lost in thought he didn't see the girl in front of him as he ran into her.
"Sorry" he said as he helped her to her feet
"It's fine" she replied as Harry took in her appearance.
She was tall and skinny with long dark hazel colored hair and beautiful chocalate brown eyes. She was wearing a pair of tight bluejeans with a studded belt and a lace-up tanktop that showed her belly button ring.
"I'm Evie" she said as she held out her hand
"I'm Harry" he replied as he shook her outstretched hand
"I don't think I've ever seen you around here before but I do recognize you" Evie said
"Yeah I just moved in with my godfather" Harry said
"You're Harry Potter right" Evie asked
"Yeah how did you..."
Evie smiled" I'm a witch" she said "In fact I'm gonna be attending hogwarts this year along with some of my friends" she said
"why haven't you always went to Hogwarts" Harry asked
"I've attended Caplitan in America but it was recently destroyed so Hogwarts is now my school" She said smiling
"Well I've gotta go" she said quickly "but we should talk again sometime.I'll give you my number and we can go shopping on Melrose before school starts"
she quickly got out a pen and wrote her number on the inside of his hand. She smiled as she turned and left.
Harry forgot where he was going so he just went back to Grimmauld Place.
He had gotten yelled at when he had returned.
Sirius had claimed he had been so worried about him.Harry had pretended to listen.
He now lay in his bed staring at the ceiling thinking about his hot newfound friend.
