Seamus Finnigan saw as a man was being beat up by the police. He quickly grabbed his video camara. He had decided that from then on he would document have real life was, no script or planned out events. He wanted to see real life, not phony people. He quickly caught the whole thing on film and sighed.
How do you document real life when real life's getting more like fiction each day?
Headlines - bread-lines blow my mind
He got on his bicycle. Since he graduated from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, he moved out here to New York City, in hopes of a better life. That was about six years ago. He was now 24 years old. He lived with Ronald Weasley for a long time now. He had magic but he wanted to know how life would be without magic to help him. He was without it for five years. So was Ron. He too felt too depended on magic and wanted to experience life without it. Life was pretty good for them both. There was little money but they managed.
The air was cold. It was Christmas. Seamus made it to his apartment. He brought the bike upstairs with him. Then he noticed a sign on the door. Something everyone dreaded. An Eviction notice.
And now this deadline "Eviction - or pay"
Rent!
Ron sat with his guitar on his lap. He struggled and struggled with the pen in his hand. Writing a song was easier before so why can't he write one now? Why? Because life was not so hard before. It wasn't so tragic before.
He remember how his life was before the tragedy struck him. Ron had started a band before: No Vacancy. They were the ultimate garage band. Anyone who was anyone listened to them at least once. They were famous, everyone loved their music. They could really relate to everything they sung about.
One night they did a show in New York, a couple of blocks from Ron's future apartment. It was a full house as usual. Ron got up to the stage and began his song. After it ended he saw someone. Not just someone. "Who was she?", Ron kept asking about. She looked so familiar. He didn't have time to figure out who she was. He needed to introduce the next song. He picked a slow jam, one of their greatest hits. As he sang, he looked directly at her. She smiled as he smiled. There may have over a hundred people there but Ron only saw her.
The song ended and they left the stage. His band started to pack up. The girl from the audience made her way past security. She tapped Ron's shoulder.
"That was a beautiful song" she commented.
"Thank you", Ron replied. He noticed something different about this girl. She had an Irish accent. It was very rare for him to hear that in New York. And also there was something else about her voice. It had this dreamlike quality to it. Then he remembered who she was.
"Luna? Luna Lovegood?", he asked, feeling stupid.
The girl smiled. "Hey Ronnie"
Ron's eyes lit up. They embraced as they started a mess of words like "I haven't seen you in forever!""I missed you!""How have you been?"and other such phrases. Ron was very happy to see her. She looked exactly same as she was when she was at Hogwarts, the long blonde hair, dreamy eyes, but a little older.
They started seeing each other more and more frequently. No Vacancy had broken up but Ron didn't care. He was back with Luna, one of the only girls he ever loved.
One day after they spent about eight months together, he went with her to the park. She stopped next to this man who looked like he was living on the streets. She gave him something and he gave her something back. Ron didn't see what it was but he knew it was drugs. Apparently she started taking it a few years after her mother had died. When she was sixteen. She explained that it soothed her pain. Ron did nothing but watch her. A couple of months later, she claimed she had stopped using cocaine but was still not feeling good. They went to the doctor immediately, where they learned the horrible truth, She was HIV positive for a few years. Ron had gotten it from her but it was recently. He remembered her funeral...
"RON!" someone yelled from outside of the door. Ron jumped back from his flashback and answered the door. It was Seamus. "Look at this!" He shoved a piece of paper in his face.
How we gonna pay? How we gonna pay?
How we gonna pay? Last year's rent?
"Hey!" someone yelled again. Seamus looked outside.
"Hey Harry! Haven't seen you in ages!"
"That's great. Hey throw me down the keys!" Harry yelled back. Seamus found the keys on the table and threw them down to Harry. He had been their roommate for three years until Harry was offered a teaching job at NYU.
"I can't believe it. He said he would let it slip" Ron said. The 'he' they were referring to was Draco Malfoy. Yeah it was hard to believe he was good. Heran away from hispureblood father andhe turned out to like muggles, when he started going out with Hermione. He became nicer to Seamus and Ron. After Hermione and him broke it off, he got married and became their landlord. His father-in-law wants to take down their apartments and build a multimedia studio.
Seamus walked back over to the window. "Hey where is he?" Ron shrugged. "Argh, guess who's here." Ron looked at the window. It was Malfoy. The two friends sighed and made their way downstairs.
"What are you doing here?", Ron snapped.
"I'm offering you two one last chance. I can promise you guys a place to stay at this studio" Malfoy replied.
"Go on" Seamus said.
"Well, I need you stop Lavendar's protests. It's caused a ruckus around here. My boss--"
"You mean your father in law?" Ron cut him off.
"Yes, wishes that I handle this quietly" Draco finished.
"You can't wipe out an entire 4-block neighborhood quietly"
"Well it wouldn't be hard to stop her. You're still tight with her, right Seamus?" Draco asked. Seamus froze. He didn't like talking about her anymore.
"Uh, me and Lavendar sorta broke it off." Seamus sighed.
"Really? Who's the guy?" Draco asked.
"A lawyer named Cho Chang", Ron replied, biting his lip. New York was starting to be a net to catch ex-Hogwarts students.
"No way! You mean Cho and Lavendar.."Draco laughed.
"I'm glad you think it's so funny", Seamus muttered.
Draco caught his breath. "But seriously, you have three days."
Harry was laying onthe ground. His nose was bleeding and he felt sick.
How do you stay on your feet when on every street
It's "trick or treat" and tonight it's "trick"
"Welcome back to town" I should lie down
Everything's brown, and uh-oh
I feel sick
Across the street, a man drummed on a plastic pickle tub. He was getting good tips but he wasn't playing for money. He just wanted to play. He stopped playing when he heard a sound coming from a dark alley. He walked over. He saw a man bleeding.
"Are you okay?", he asked him.
"I think so." He helped him up to his feet.
"I'm Jordan"
"Harry. Potter", He replied back.
"You must of known my brother", Jordan said. Harry looked up at him. "Cedric Diggory"
"Your Ced's little brother?", Harry gasped. Jordan nodded. "Wow."
"Well I'm on my way to life support. You wanna come?" Jordan offered.
"You mean, People with AIDS?" Harry asked.
"Yeah. People like me"
"And me" Harry whispered. The two walked up and around the corner.
