Harry woke up the next morning in the best mood he had ever been in.He had a gut feeling that Evie was special.
Wenever he was around her his head felt like it was on fire and his heart beat fast in his chest.
"Beautiful morning"Harry said smiling as he walked past Sirius and Draco
"Hey we need to talk about last night" Sirius said in a grave tone
"what about last night" Harry asked pouring himself some coffee
"Everything" Sirius said "your poem, the fact that you were out after dark"
Harry rolled his eyes "the poem is a bunch of words that mean nothing and you left, I was bored so I took a walk"Harry said defensively
"Anything could have happened to you"Sirius said as he put a hand on Harry's shoulder and spun him around
"But nothing did" Harry said staring into Sirius's eyes "no big deal" he said with a grin as he sat down at the table
"And what about his constant mood swings" Draco asked
"When did this become any of his business" Harry snapped
"we're just worried" Sirius whispered
"Well stop" Harry said "It's annoying"
Sirius let out a sigh "see one minute you're happy and the next you're mad, It's confusing"Sirius said
"well living with you of course my mood's gonna change" Harry yelled "you just don't get it" he said as he got up from the table and made his way upstairs.
Draco and Sirius sat in silence both worried about who Harry had become.
Harry lay on his bed staring at his hand.He carefully went to his trunk and took out the cell phone he had took from Dudley when Dudley had gotten a new one.He quickly dialed Evie's number and waited for her to answer.But no one ever answered as the phone continued to ring and ring.He finally gave up and threw the phone in the corner as he paced back and forth.He was tired of everything. He wanted out.
He quickly took some muggle money out of his trunk and flung open his bedroom window. He quietly crawled down the side of the house. He was gone to go find Evie.
He walked to the muggle bus station and payed the bus driver to take him to Melrose Avenue.Melrose was a huge place with many different muggle stores and people.
Harry looked around,searching for any sign of Evie.He finally spoted her in a store called "Hell's Closet". He grinned as he made his way into the door.
"Hey" Harry said walking up to Evie and her two friends "I tried calling you but I was coming here anyways so..."
Evie nodded "Cool" she said as her 2 friends giggled "this is Ashley and Tracy" she said pointing to the 2 girls beside her "And this is Harry" she said to the 2 girls as Harry nodded.
Evie, Tracy, and Ashley walked away as Harry followed.
"shit" Harry said as he looked at the expensive stuff on the shelves "I don't have very much money" the girls giggled and rolled their eyes.
"what" he asked as Evie picked up a pair of underwear and stuffed it into her purse
"we get a five finger discount "she said as she walked on like nothing had happened
He followed but hesitated "um guys I'm gonna go get a drink of water" he said as he quickly turned and walked out of the store
"Loser "Ashley muttered under her breathe as Evie smirked
Harry sat outside on a bench across from the store. He desperatly wanted to hang out with Evie but he had basically been a good kid all of his life.This was driving him crazy.
He saw Evie and the girls looking at clothes outside the store as a woman sat down beside him, yelling into her cell phone.She sat down her purse beside her as she continued to yell into her cell phone.
"you should have the number, this is unacceptable" she screamed as she searched through her pockets.
Harry noticed that her billfold was hanging out of her purse as he reached over and carefully pulled it from her purse and stuffed it into his pocket.He quickly got up and ran across the street to Evie.
"Hey guys" He said excited as the girls played with their stolen goods
"Look at this lighter" Evie said as she flicked the top and the flames changed colors
"Oh this is so soft" Ashley said rubbing the fuzzy ring against Harry's face
"This braclet is so shiny" Tracy said as she slipped it onto her wrist and admired it
"guys" Harry yelled "I just stole this"he said as he held up the billfold
"No fucking way" Ashley said "What's in it"she asked as Harry opened it
"I don't know I haven't looked" Harry grinned as he pulled out a wad of bills
"oh my god" Evie said "I don't think I've ever seen this much money in my life"she said suprised
"holy shit you guys" Harry said "Let's go spend it"he said
"HELL YEAH!"the 3 girls yelled as they went back into "Hell's Closet" and brought everything in sight.
"Hey Sirius" Harry said cheerfully as he walked into Grimmauld place
"Hey" Sirius replied as he stood at the stove cooking
Harry had to laugh at the apron Sirius was wearing that said "Kiss The Hott Chef". Sirius smirked as Harry laughed at his atire.
"Shutup or I won't feed you" Sirius snapped as Harry grabbed an olive off the plate that was in the middle of the table.
"Sirius" Harry said "Why are their four places tonight" he asked noticing the extra plate
"He just got back from a mission for Dumbledore" Sirius whispered "He's only coming for dinner"he said
Harry rolled his eyes "Right well I'm suddenly not hungry" Harry grumbled as he turned away from Sirius
"Harry" Sirius said as the doorbell rang and he rushed to answer it
"Hey" Lupin said smiling "Have you been cooking" he asked in disgust
"Yes" Sirius said pulling off his apron "come in" he said as he stepped aside and allowed Remus to walk into the room.
Harry quickly ran upstairs, not wanting to talk to either of his father's old friends right now.He sat in his room writing his poetry until Sirius came to get him for dinner. He sat at the table trying to ignore Remus,Sirius and Draco as they talked happily.He was glad when dinner was over and Remus had left.He quickly went back to his room and took out his knife.
He needed relief right now.
"Harry" Sirius said knocking on his door "there's someone downstairs that I want you to meet"he said as Harry opened the door
"It's late" Harry snapped "I'm tired"he said as he turned to go back into his room
Sirius grabbed his shoulder and spun him back around "What is wrong with you "Sirius asked "Moony left feeling depressed because of you"
Harry rolled his eyes as he pulled from Sirius's grip "If this is about him you can forget it "Harry yelled as a little girl ran up the stairs and jumped on Harry.
"Are you Harry" she asked as her mother ran up behind her
"Kayla I told you to stay downstairs with me" The woman scolded the little girl before lifting her into her arms
"Harry" Sirius said "this is your godmother Shandra and her daughter Kayla"
Harry's eyes widened "Godmother" he asked "what" he said shaking his head
"she was your mother's best friend"Sirius whispered as tears threatened to spill from Harry's eyes
"where in the hell has she been" Harry asked angerily
"I've been in London" Shandra said as she put the little girl down and stepped forward to give Harry a hug.He pulled away from her as if her touch would burn him.
"I haven't known you my entire life" Harry yelled "you can't just expect a relationship" he said as he quickly turned and made to go in his room again
"Harry "Sirius said as he once again grabbed Harry's arm
"Get the hell off of me" Harry yelled "I was left in a place where I was hated for 16 years of my life and all that time I had a godmother that could have taken me"Harry shouted as he ran into his room,slammed the door and locked it.He then lay down on his bed and cried himslef to sleep.
The next day Harry awoke wanting desperatly to see Evie.He couldn't explain it but Evie made everything go away.She didn't need a wand to be magical.
He quickly got out of bed and pulled on some clothes as he ran downstairs and headed to the front door.
"Harry" Sirius said from the armchair as Harry spun around "we need to talk" he whispered as he stood up.His eyes were bloodshot and his breathe smelled like firewhiskey
"what's there to talk about" Harry asked "why was she even here"
"she wanted to see you" Sirius whispered "everybody's worried about you" he said as he pulled Harry into a hug
"the way you've been acting scares us" Sirius said as Harry struggled to get out of the hug
"so now I scare you" Harry yelled as he pushed Sirius away
"No" Sirius said "but you are not acting ok and you have a lot of people who love you"
Harry shook his head "If you love me so much then you'll except the fact that I've changed"Harry whispered as Sirius hugged him again
"please give Shandra and Remus a second chance" Sirius said as tears ran down his face "they miss you"
Harry pulled back from the hug and decided he would have to go along with Sirius if he wanted to get out of the house.He talked to Sirius for awhile then quickly left after calling Evie and telling Sirius to pick him up from Tracy's.At the moment he hated everyone but those girls.
