Hey guys I have poll going on for votes for who should be Harry's mate. It's on my profile. Please vote! :)
Harry sat at a muggle bar for a good hour, was it illegal for him to transfigure an old business card into a fake I.D.? He was only 19 here, he wasn't legal to drink most of what he wanted. Plus he mostly wanted to be left alone. Ginny probably already went to Ron's house to tell him about his wanderings. But what was he supposed to do? Just agree with Ginny? Start working on babies even though the most Ginny was doing right now was waiting on tables. She had wanted to do more, talked about going pro for Quidditch but then decided that it wasn't going to be. So then it's time for them to become parents?
Sighing, the teen took another drink of his liquor. It was well past 1am, the bar would be closing soon. Everyone else around him was either drunk or waiting on rides from whomever. He pulled out his wallet and paid the bartender, he would have ignored the concerned look he got, but he felt bad leaving the woman wondering. Giving her a smile, he tipped her as he left.
Walking around the outskirts of London, he knew he should just go home and apologize to his girlfriend, but really, was that the right thing to do? If he went back and apologized, he'd have to apologize without giving into her wishes. It was just too much, too soon. They had only been a functioning couple, living together since she graduated Hogwarts..which in retrospect was only a year ago. They have only been together without her in school for a single year and she was ready to have kids? Harry barely felt like his head was in order.
Looking around him, he didn't want to keep wandering through the main roads of town so late, people do start to wonder about strangers walking around so late. Muggle police like to ask questions too. Then there's the fact that he isn't all that sober to apperate home either. Looking around, he'd probably just check into a hotel for the night. If he tried to apperate now, he'd end up half home and half in Merlin knows where.
Or there was Knight Bus. Maybe he was more drunk than he thought.
Looking around, he pulled out his wand to summon the bus, if he was honest he didn't really want to get home, but he couldn't stay out all night with Ginny at home. Or Ron's. Or wherever she was...So that left the Leaky.

"Wait what? No rooms that doesn't even..That happens?" Harry didn't understand that he couldn't stay here. Since when was the leaky ever full?
"Mr. Potter, Tom would love to help but cannot. We have a lot families staying before Hogwarts. Then we have people who come from the Knight Bus like yourself." Harry sighed, hitting his head on wall for support. Damn it. Home it was.
"There's another place Mr. Potter. We can call them right now so you have a place if you'd like. It's even only a walking distance. We are sorry Mr. Potter."
Harry didn't even think twice on nodding the 'go ahead'.
The liquor was wearing off, Harry was just tired as hell now. Wanting to get into a bed and figure out what to do with Ginny in the morning. So when he got to the "Humens Moon" he looked up at the building before walking inside. It was just a place to sleep for the night, Harry walked inside looking around around, and really it should have stuck him as strange, but most things Harry thought were normal wizard things by now.
And he was used to being stared at. As soon as he walked in, he just went to the desk, "Hey, I just need a room for the night. Tom said he called over here for me?"
Raising an eyebrow at Harry, the man at the desk nodded with amusement. "He did. Mr. Potter we have a room available for you, room 32." He handed Harry the key to the room, but didn't take his eyes off of Harry. It which made Harry feel uncomfortable, but he took the key nonetheless. "13 gallons for the night Sir, check out is 2 in the afternoon. There's a breakfast in the morning at 8 and goes on until 10. You're welcome to it, but otherwise there's the restaurant that's open at 9."
Doubting he'd stay to eat, Harry just nodded his thanks. Heading off to his room, wanting to just get some sleep. Walking up the stairs to the third floor his room, Harry watched as the numbers increased, ignoring any of the people walking passed him even if they did seem to stare longer than Harry was used too...in a way Harry was most definitely not used to. It wasn't a the look of awe Harry got from being 'the-boy-who-lived' it was a looks of confusion or amusement. Was it because he smelled like alcohol? Or was he just overthinking it? Harry just assumed that was it, when he went to unlock the door to his room, someone grabbed him by the arm pulling him backwards before he could step into the room.
If he had even an inch less of self control Harry would have hexed this person. But he didn't, he just turned and looked at the man who had grabbed him. "Yes?"
The man was taken back, letting go of Harry instantly. "Sorry. I thought you were someone else. I - My apologies. Goodnight." The man took a step back, seemingly more confused than Harry was, before he walked off. Harry looked after the man, what the hell? Even though the man couldn't hear him anymore, Harry muttered 'no problem' to himself.
Only a second had passed once Harry spoke to the emptiness that he was pinned against the door to his room with a hard thud. He didn't even have a chance to think of his wand before he blacked out with the echo of the door being slammed behind him.
HPHPHPHPHPHPHPHP
"Fuck. Merlin's..fuck. Dad is going to have a field day."
"I'm sorry I slipped up. Mabe he won't-"
"Don't Aeron. Just don't. My dad is going to be pissed. There's no way around this."
Harry groaned, his head pounding. No more late night drinks. No matter what Ginny wants..or doesn't want. Opening his eyes, he realized it was really bright, before shutting them again. "Bloody hell.."
"He's waking up! See no harm done!" Smack. "Ouch. I already said I was sorry."
"Just..save it."
Harry turned to look at the voices, but he realized that he didn't have his glasses and everything was blurry. He started to feel around for them, trying to think of why the hell he had people in his room. Two people that he did not know the voices too.
"Here. Sorry, they fell off." He felt cold metal touch his fingers, he grabbed his glasses moving them to his eyes quickly. Looking to the two people in his room, Harry saw two teenagers. One of them with short blonde hair looking about 15 years old while his companion looked only a few years older than him with dark brown hair. Not looking anything alike, Harry assumed friends not family. Oh fucking great. He looked to the window, at least it was still dark out. Maybe he wasn't out that long then.
"Merlin, okay. What's going on? And I'm sure you're more than aware of the fact of breaking and entering." Harry told them both, looking around for his wand.
"You're not going to find your wand. Don't even bother looking for it." The older boy said to him.
Harry got on defense immediately, what the hell did they do with his wand? "Excuse me?" Was Harry's only response.
"Merlin Aeron! You're such an ass sometimes." The blonde boy looks at him, moving to the bed, "Look, we only hid the wand until my dad gets here. Just relax, I'm Joshua Humens, my dad owns the place. My mate," The boy who's name was apparently a Humens, pointed to the other boy, "didn't mean to attack you."
"Attack me?" Harry backed up, looking between the two of them, not sure of what he was supposed to say. "How do you accidentally attack someone?" Harry was not amused in the slightest, but more than that, he was trying figure out how a boy was able to pull one over him anyway.
Josh bit back his lips, turning to the other boy, clearly unsure of what to say. "I said it already, of all the people in the world..you chose him."
"For the hundredth time, Malko Garvan, I didn't choose him." Aeron said calmly without an air of care in voice.
Josh just stared at the older boy until Aeron turned his eyes to Harry once again, "I am sorry. I can't really tell you much, but The Alpha is on his way. He'll talk to you once he gets here."
"The Alpha?" Harry asked confused, what the hell kind of place did Tom send him too? This is what happens when you leave home and go out drinking...No this is what happens when your girlfriend keeps pushing for kids.
"What are you even doing here anyway? It's very rare a wizard comes in here without protection anyway." Aeron questioned Harry.
"It wasn't my first choice." Was the only answer Harry gave back.
Then the door opened, in walked in a man looking around his mid thirties. As soon as the man looked at Harry, he turned to the boys. "Next time I leave, you two are coming with me."
"Dad-"
"Alpha-"
"Don't." The older man glared at them both, it was clear to everyone in the room that the man was holding his temper. He looked at the older boy, "Sit. Josh, Casey is waiting for you both in my office. Go."
It was clear that Josh wanted to argue, but a look from his mate, Josh rolled his eyes slamming the door behind him as he left.
The older man looked to Harry, "How are you feeling?"
How was he feeling? His body hurt. His head hurt. Everyone was sore and the room was too bright, even though it was just lite up by candles and bedside lamps. "Pissed. And I'd like my wand back please."
Nodding, the older man let out a breath, looking over Harry. "Did you heal it?" The question wasn't to Harry, even though the man's eyes never left Harry's body.
Aeron licked his lips, "Yes, Alpha."
Nodding once again, "Okay, Mr. Potter. We have a lot to talk about."
