The next day Harry emerged from the Gryffindor common room with an air of arrogance. Harry had changed over the summer. A change that no one could have expected. How could the 'Golden Boy' turn out dark?

-flashback-

"Hello, I would like to apply for a job here." Harry said rather awkwardly. He had never even been in a tattoo parlour, let alone gotten a job at one. But he was good with his hands and favoured art over Quidditch, a fact that he liked to keep to himself.

"Hold on. Let me get my boss." The boy at the makeshift counter looked no more than 17. He disappeared through a door and a tattooed man came out. At least sixty Harry thought to himself.

"Do you have a portfolio?" The man asked. Harry handed him a folder full of drawings and sketches. The man flipped through them and looked impressed.

"You're in. But first…" He grabbed a rather large looking needle and a barbell.

-end flashback-

A hush fell over the Great Hall as Harry walked in for breakfast.

Harry flicked his raven black hair out of his face and walked over to the Gryffindor table. He wore rather large boots that made 'thud' noises as he walked. His 'God Save The Queen' wife-beater clung to his scrawny body and his tight dark pants clung to him. He sat down and started to fill his plate with food.

Once again he felt eyes on him. He looked up and locked eyes with Malfoy, but this time Malfoy didn't look away. He smirked as if to say. I like what you've done but Harry glared and continued to eat his breakfast.

A small owl landed in front of him.

What the…?

He slowly untied the note from the leg of the bird.

-Potter

I see you had a good summer.

I always knew you would see that the bad guys are much more fun.

-Draco

He flipped the parchment over and quickly scribbled

Shove it

He tied the note to the leg of the owl and sent it to Malfoy.

"What was that about?" Hermione asked politely.

"Malfoy's just being a prat." He quickly changed the subject. "What class do we have?"

"Double potions with Slytherin." Ron spat.

Harry grinned.

A/N- Sorry the chapters are so short! Tell me what you think.
