Destiny, Interrupted
Chapter Two
Listen to the Voices
Sirius looked up at the boy on top of him. He looked about the same age with short, spiky, fiery red hair with blonde highlights, emerald green eyes, slightly pale, and wearing Hogwarts robes with a Gryffindor crest. Sirius raised a dark eyebrow and the boy he didn't know, but apparently knew him, blushed and sat back off of him. He sat up and kept looking at the boy who appeared out of no where. He suddenly took his eyes off him and looked around to see that that Nicolas Fate boy had really disappeared. "Sirius?" a voice questioned and he slowly turned back to look at the boy.
"Where'd you come from carrot top?" he asked and the other boys' eyes went wide and looked around him. "I'm talking to you."
"Me?" he asked in a shocked voice.
Sirius nodded and tried not to smirk. He sat up more and pulled out one of the other boys' hair.
"Ouch!" he said. He glared at him and rubbed his head.
Sirius smiled now and showed him the hair that he had pulled out. "See, it's red. Well, there's some blonde too, but not as much." The boy took it and stared at it in shock. Sirius snorted and he looked at him. "Just who are you?" he asked as he thought, 'What kind of person doesn't even know his own hair color?'
He opened his mouth but all that came out was a choking noise. He tried again and then shut his mouth and looked at first very surprised then very angry. He looked like he was having an inner debate and then sighed. "I'm Harry Granger…"
-------------------------------------------
Harry stared down at the man who was his Godfather…his dead Godfather…though he didn't look so dead…nor did he look so old. He stared at the man until he raised his eyebrow and he realized that he was on top of him. He quickly sat back off and the young Sirius sat up too. They just stared at each other till the sixteen years old Sirius slowly turned his head, seeming like he was expecting someone to be there. Harry couldn't believe he was sitting in front of Sirius. He smiled and whispered, "Sirius?" He didn't mean to say his name but apparently he heard and turned to him.
He smiled slightly. "Where'd you come from carrot top?" he asked. Harry was shocked. Who was he talking too? It couldn't possibly be him. He had black hair. He turned and looked behind him but Sirius said, "I'm talking to you."
"Me?" Harry asked, just to shock to say anything else. He could see that Sirius was having a hard time not laughing. Harry probably would feel the same way if someone didn't know what they looked liked. Suddenly Sirius leaned forward towards Harry and lifted his hand to his head. Quickly he plucked a piece of hair from his head. "Ouch!" Harry said and rubbed his head while glaring at Sirius.
The older boy smiled and presented him with the plucked hair. "See, it's red. Well, there's some blonde too, but not as much." Harry took it from out of his hands and stared at it. How the hell did Sirius manage to pull out a red hair when it was all black? He heard of people's hair turning grey…but never red. He heard Sirius snort and looked at him. "Just who are you?" Sirius asked and Harry could picture the other boy thinking, 'What kind of crazy person did I bump into?'
Without really thinking he opened his mouth to say, "Harry Potter.", but what really came out was a choking noise. He closed his mouth and decided he was nervous. He opened his mouth again to say his name and the exact same thing happened. Suddenly he heard a laugh. It was a girly laugh and Sirius definitely hadn't laugh so he must have been hearing things.
'You're not hearing anything Mr. Potter.' A faint voice said inside his head. He immediately recognized it. He went to say the name out loud but the voice spoke again. 'I wouldn't do that…he already thinks you're crazy…and I can hear you just fine without you speaking out loud.'
Harry's shock quickly turned to anger. 'Who the hell are you really?'
'You haven't figured that out yet?' the third year Ravenclaw from early asked.
Harry mentally sighed. 'Yeah, I have. You're fate.'
'Good boy.'
Harry bristled but let it slide. 'Anyways…why can't I say my name? And why the hell is my hair red?'
Destiny sighed inside his head. 'You can't go and ruin things by saying you're Harry Potter. It won't be pretty. And I changed you appearance…you now look like Ms. Lily Evans seeing as this is what you would've looked like if not like James. Thought you might enjoy that…I changed almost everything about you except your eyes. I like them green. Also, I think you might want your first look at yourself in private…I mean, if you look shocked while looking at yourself in a mirror in front of others, they might think you even crazier. And I advise you to pick a last name you know you will recognize…but please, not Riddle or something…that could have worse consequences then saying Potter. Lastly, if you start to say anything that could ruin you're future, like before, you will make a choking sound, because I making sure your voice box doesn't listen…'
Harry sighed and thought about it. 'They're going to think I have a mental disability if I always choke.'
'Then don't say anything stupid.' She said. Harry had a feeling she was smirking while saying that. Harry once again started to think and decided on a name. 'Ah, good choice lovely. I'll be in touch…' Suddenly Harry's head felt a lot lighter. Harry sighed and looked up at Sirius. "I'm Harry Granger…"
Sirius smiled at him. "Harry Granger…nice name." There was a pause and they looked at each other. "How do you know my name?"
Harry went to open his mouth to reply when he felt his voice box closing. 'Damn.' He thought. Now he had to think up a lie…a believable lie…and he didn't have that bloody voice in his head to help. As Harry thought up a believable lie, Sirius was thinking of something totally different.
'What did that boy Fate mean by saying all that? I mean, he said he knew my soul mate, which makes me pretty dumb to begin with for believing him…though Harry did come out of no where and I'm smart enough now to know that that boy wasn't really just a student…he must've really been fate…'
'Good boy!' a very familiar voice said. Sirius looked up to see that Harry was still thinking, so he couldn't have possibly said that. At the moment he's forgiving Harry for being slow…he suspects something's not right in his head. 'No, he's mainly alright in the head…' the voice said again and Sirius recognized it.
'How the hell did you get in my head!' Sirius mentally yelled.
He felt the other boy smirk. 'At least you're smart enough not to shout at be out loud.'
'You didn't answer my question!'
He heard a sigh. 'Yes, well, I'm fate, so I can go and do as I please…and at the moment I'm having fun in you're head…besides, it seems like you have some questions about the choice I gave you for a soul mate. Now, hurry up and tell me…you're not the only one with a fate you know.'
Sirius sighed and just got to the points. 'I have three things that I have problems with.'
'Which are…?' Fate questioned.
'Firstly, he's a boy.'
'So?'
'I don't swing that way.' Sirius felt the other boy smirk.
'Uh huh…' Fate said in a sarcastic voice and Sirius would've slapped him if it weren't for the fact that the guy was in his head. 'The next one?'
'Secondly, the boy is obviously mental!'
He felt fate roll his eyes. 'Oh, and you're not? Who's the one talking to themselves?'
'I'm not talking to myself!' Sirius shouted in his head.
'Uh huh…okay, the last one?'
'He's a red head.'
Sirius could've sworn fate blink. 'Excuse me?'
Sirius sighed. 'He's a red head…I like dark haired…girls.'
Fate took his time answering. 'Well, stop being so picky…I bet it will surprise you. Now, if you're done being an idiot, I'm going to go…I'll be in touch.' And with that said, Sirius felt his head get lighter.
Sirius sighed in the manner of, 'Thank God that's over', and looked up at Harry. The boy was muttering to himself. Sirius cocked his head at him and studied him. The other boy looked kind of young, but he suspected his was his age. He looked like if he stood up, he'd be a few good inches shorter then himself. He noticed he had two faint dimples when he smiled at one of his thoughts. He also noticed he looked slightly underweight. Also, he chewed his thumb and lower lip when he was thinking and tapped out a beat with his other hand. 'He's also kind of cute…' part of his brain said. Sirius tensed up at that thought and growled back, in his mind, 'He is not cute! He's a man for crying out loud!'
'It's not like you haven't had those thoughts before.' The voice replied slyly.
Sirius accidentally growled out loud and Harry looked up, but the taller boy took no notice. 'Those we're flukes…go back to your damn corner of the brain and leave me be! Oh Merlin…I really am crazy!'
"I don't think you're crazy…" someone said and Sirius looked up to see Harry looking at him in an innocent manner.
Sirius groaned and closed his eyes. 'Fuck…I said that out loud…' Sirius sighed and looked up at him and ignored the laughter in his head. "Only a crazy person would say that…So, anyways, how do you know me?"
"Who wouldn't know you? You're one of the greatest pranksters at school." Harry replied with a huge grin.
Sirius narrowed his eyes at him. 'How come it took him that long to think of that?' he thought but then remembered this boy was crazier then him. "Never mind…who are you? I certainly don't remember you and you are a Gryffindor." 'And I think I would've remembered someone like you…' he thought then quickly squished it.
Harry bit his lip and Sirius ignored the voice in his head. "I already told you…I'm Harry Granger…"
'Damn!' Harry thought to himself. He had no idea what to tell him.
'Need help?' a girl voiced asked and Harry sighed happily.
'Yes! I don't know what to tell him! You never told me what to say about being here!'
'Oh, I didn't, did I?' Destiny said and Harry wrinkled his noise in unhappiness. Destiny thought then smiled. 'Just tell him Dumbledore let you transfer from home schooling and that you will be announced at a Gryffindor tonight at dinner…you were just exploring right now.'
Harry sighed happily. 'Thanks.'
'No problem…behave lovely. And have fun. ' And with that, Destiny disappeared again.
Harry looked up at Sirius and grinned. "I'm a transfer student from being home schooled and I will be announced as a Gryffindor tonight at dinner…I was just exploring before I become a full fledge Hogwarts student."
Sirius smiled. "Alright." He pushed himself off the ground and stuck his hand out to help Harry up. When Harry grabbed it, Sirius felt an electric shock and let go of Harry when he was half way up.
"Hey!" Harry shouted as he plopped down hard on his arse. "That was rude!"
"I'm sorry!" Sirius stuttered and stuck his hand out again. This time he braced himself for the shock and managed to pull Harry up all the way.
"Thanks." Harry said and smiled.
Sirius nodded and looked down the hall. "Well, let's go to the common room…I want you to meet some of my friends…"
Harry blinked a couple of times as Sirius hurried down the hall. When he was about twenty paces in front of him, he turned around and looked at him. "Are you coming or not Harry?"
Harry blinked again and then slowly smiled. "Of course Siri!" he shouted and rushed after him. Sirius blinked at him as he ran past Sirius a few paces in front of him.
'Why the hell did he call me Siri?' he thought as Harry turned around and smiled.
"Are you coming or not?"
Sirius shook his head slowly and caught up with Harry. He turned and smiled at Harry as they walked down the hall. 'Maybe I'll give those voices some thought…at least, about something's…' he thought as he led Harry up towards Gryffindor Tower…
