Sorry for the Very VERY late chapter update. I had a lot of things going on which kept me VERY busy. But, hey better late than never. ONE OF THE REASON I HAVE BEEN BUSY IS BECAUSE I HAVE ANOTHER FANFICTION THAT I AM WRITING.

IMPORTANT:

I'M GONNA POST THE OTHER CHAPPIES AS QUICKLY AS I CAN. CAUSE IM GOING ON VACATION IN SUMMER CAUSE RIGHT NOW I AM AS WHITE AS WHITEOUT AND I AM IN THE NEED OF A TAN.

Dear Harry,

Where have you been mate? Seems as if the world has swallowed you up. It has been 2 weeks since you had owled me or Hermione. Who is here at the Burrow to stay until school begins and has been hell. Hermione keeps annoying me with school work and I should try my very best this year since its my last. She keeps talking about the same crap as usual, how education is important and blah, blah, blah. She has gotten my mother on her bloody side. I wish you were here mate. I know you would defend me against these hags. Hope you have been having a smashing summer mate. Everyone here says HI!

Your friend Ron Weasley

Harry placed the letter at his desk. He took out a quill and a parchment.

Dear Ron,

Sorry I having been owling you, mate. I have been quite busy this summer. The Dursleys have not been as usual as nice. A lot of...dreadful things has happened to me. I believe I will be traumatized for life, in fact. The things that happened to me are almost as horrible as Voldemort trying to kill me. Anyways, which I was at the Burrow to defend you from Hermione and your mother. Till next time.

Harry stopped writing and paused. He grinned evilly.

Your darling lover, Harry Potter.

P.S. Ronkins, I miss your kisses.

Harry laughed his heart out as he tied the letter to the owl.

The day had been somewhat good. The Dursleys had not been harassing him, thus been able to enjoy the warm weather. Harry checked what time it was;It was about to be seven pm. The Dursleys were getting dressed. They were going to the city to eat at a new fansy restaurant.

"Boy, we will be back around ten. Do not do anything magical nor stupid got that!" Vernon said to him as he fixed his tie.

"Don't worry. By the time you get back here the house is going to be burned to crisp." Harry said smoothly.

"Boy!"

"I'm only joking with you uncle Vernon."

The Dursleys got inside the car and drove off.

Harry was glad that they were gone, but sad aswell. He didn't like to be alone. Deep within his heart he knew if the Dursleys had asked him if he would have liked to join him he would have gone within a heart beat. The only sound you could hear was the clock. Hedwig was upstairs in his room probably popping. Harry went upstairs to check if it was true.

Hedwig lay in his bed sleeping. His hug me shirt was in the floor pooped all over.

"Knew it. Well at least I don't need to worry about wearing that shirt ever again." Harry said.

"Faith your gonna burn the hotdogs!" Harry heard someone saying outside.

He walked towards his window which was half open. He saw the new neighbors were having somekind of picnic in the front lawn.

He saw the woman named Faith trying to cook some hotdogs in a portable grill.

The woman that introduced herself as Buffy was sitting in a picnic table while brushing a girl's hair who he believed was her sister. The red headed woman was sitting in the other side of the picnic table reading. She reminded him of Hermione whom he missed very much. He missed everyone. Harry didn't want to be alone. The boy named Andrew walked up to Faith and began telling her what to do. She grabbed a hotdog which was not cooked and smashed it in his face. Everyone began to laugh.

That feeling of sorrow which he had became deeper. He missed having his parents; A family for he could call his own. Harry's eyes began to get teary.

"Buffy look, it's the boy which the fag shirt." Dawn said.

Buffy looked at the direction Dawn was looking at. The boy immeaditely reminded her of someone; Her. That expression in his face she knew too well; loneliness.

"Hey you at the window." Buffy yelled.

Harry stood there shocked. He couldn't move. Harry stood there like a deer caught in headlights.

"Yes, you."Buffy yelled at him.

Harry pointed at himself.

Buffy rolled her eyes, 'what is he mentally challenged or something.'

"No the other guy in the room. Of course you! Come down here and join us."

Harry took the invitation and went downstairs. He hadn't eaten since that morning and he sure was hungry.

Harry walked across the streets and joined Buffy.

"So, uhm...Harry whacha wanna eat? Hamburgers, Hotdogs, cheeseburgers, steak, or all of the above?"

"Two cheeseburgers, two hotdogs, and a steak sounds good." Harry said as he glanced at Willow who was still reading.

"Hey, Harry. You sure are hungry tonight. Aren't you?" Willow teased as she looked up from her book to stare at him.

Harry blushed, "well...I uhm...I" Harry said nervously.

" I am only teasing you Harry." Willow said as she laughed.

"So, Harry how old are you?" Xander asked as he took a seat at the picnic table.

"I'm seventeen."

"Too bad. Dawn here is eighteen."

"Xander!" Dawn said.

Harry's blush began to get deeper.

"I'm only joking!" Xander said as he lifted his hands up, "I'm gonna help Faith."

The whole gang gathered in the picnic table, "Dig in people!" Xander said as he grabbed two steaks.

"Harry where are your parents?" Andrew asked.

Harry swallowed the piece of meat, "They died when I was a baby in a car crash."

"I'm sorry." Willow said sympathetically.

"My mom died a few years ago, too." Dawn said sadly.

"I live with my aunt and uncle." Harry said.

"Oh, they suck." Faith said.

Harry stared at her as if she was a god.

"Why do you say that?" Harry asked.

"I'm sorry, Harry. But, their attitudes stink. You can tell your aunt wants to be somekind of perfectionist and your uncle looks like he does not tolerate anything semi abnormal. Buffy don't you remember the way they look at the piercing at my lip. They looked as if they were gonna vomit or some shit like that." Faith said.

"Your right Faith." harry said happily. Finally muggles who were normal.

"If you ask me. They are the one's who are abnormal. With their very cleaned spotless house and their 50's clothing. Hold on.. Wait abnormal is not even the word for them. Lunatics! Yeah, that's right, they are all lunatics." Faith said right before she shoved a mouth full of corn into her mouth.

Harry couldn't disagree with her. When she's right she's right.

"Harry what school do you go to?" Willow asked.

Harry's eyes went wide and he froze, "I..ah..go to this lame as school. Why are you guys in Great Britain anyways?"

"Because of our jobs. We have been relocated." Buffy said as if she was a machine.

"Which one of you work?"

"Willow, Xander, Faith, and me work." Buffy said.

"What kind of jobs do you guys have?"

Faith glanced at Buffy nervously.

"We work in a multi-media technological business. I work in the tech department. Buffy and Faith work in the consult department. Xander is the persuader in the group. He sells the stuff to other corps that are willing to help us launch the product." Willow said easily. But within her she was nervous as hell. She couldn't believe she had lied so easily to this boy without breaking a sweat. Willow glanced at the gang who looked at her in amazement. 'Guess they too couldn't believe it.' thought Willow.

"Wow. Sounds very interesting and difficult." Harry said.

"Nah, there is nothing to it." Xander said.

As the night progressed they were all telling one another jokes and laughing. Xander had eaten more than his share and began to loose conciousness.

"I think I'm gonna drop dead." Xander said right before his head hit the table.

The whole gang began to laugh even louder.

Harry was having a fantastic time with them. He had never felt this happy and joyish since... ever. He did have a fair share of joy in the Burrow and at Hogwarts, but it was not like this one. He didn't need to worry about these people telling him what to do or telling him about Voldemort or anything of that matter. With these people he didn't need to try to be...normal. He felt like he belonged here, with them. Harry felt like he was part of this strange family. Sure the Weasleys were great, but in the end he knew very well they were not his family. With the Weasleys he felt as if he did not belonged their. Probably because they all had red hair and he did not. Who knows why, but he just didn't feel the connection with them like he did with these strange muggles.

It was odd and ironic actually. Ever since he was introduced to the wizarding world he had forgotten he too was a muggle. He had created this barrier between him and them. Believing he belonged in the wizarding world with 'his' kind. Harry thought he was going to be treated normally. He believed they would understand them. How wrong he was. People in the world he believed he belonged in treated him differently. Some fancied him and some hated him. Not once was he ever treated normally in that world. He needed to be in this world in order for him to be treated normally.

"So, Harry. Wanna try and lift Xander up?" Faith asked him.

And so was the beginning of a beautiful friendship.

TO BE CONTINUED...

HOPE U LIKED IT!

PLEASE TELL ME WHAT YOU THOUGHT OF THIS CHAPPY.
