So there's a full story on this one. I was ridiculously tired on Friday, and I wanted to listen to some music and go sleep. My mother needed me to do something, so I did and reported back to her. I then read a book until my mother went to bed and I was so absorbed in the book I stopped paying attention to things such as the time. I went to sit on a couch and started playing some music and this song came on. The story had been a fan fiction so HP was on the front of my mind.
Now all of this adds up to one thing. An idea in progress and a hint of an idea. I decided to work on it and now here we are. Oh and the song is Hypocrite by Alex Benjamin.
Disclaimer: I own no Harry Potter, nor do I really want to. I'm pretty weird and having people like me loving something I made? Too many and I start feeling weird. Though you guys are fun. I also have no claim to and of the music I use in my little books.
Premise: This is a Muggle!AU, where Harry's father was a politician who offended a terrorist, and the terrorist made and example out of them. He tried to kill the baby, and despite the news coverage, nobody knows much about what happened that night. All they know is the terrorist was the one dead at the end of the night.
So an orphan with fame gets picked up by his Godfather, Sirius Black, who also worked in politics though he was much more of a 'I'm good but I don't like it' politician. So Harry is taught politics because he wanted to be like his parents, and because of his fame he is mostly home schooled. Harry's good at school, and he gets into a medium-high entry level job at a corrupt ministry.
This is his first time going into his workplace and he gets shown around.
"And that's the break room. Over that way there's some higher-ups offices, and then that's about it!" Harry's guide says at the end of the tour.
"Hey do you have any advice to start here?" Harry says. Despite being trained by his Godfather, he's nervous about the new environment.
"Oh. Well the work here's a little weird but, it's hip to be a hypocrite, at least that's how it seems. Saying and protesting things they don't really mean. It's all talk, no walk." The guide says.
'Wait what?' Harry thinks, deciding to ask a question. "Can you a winner with no skin in the game?"
The guide ends up responding as if its the easiest thing in the world, "You can be a sinner as long as you say you've changed after all."
'Well if that's the game we're playing then I pray we're not playing for long. Yeah if that's the game we're playing then I praying we won't play it for long.
Sirius asks Harry when he gets home, "How was your first day?" seeing as Harry had been in a bad mood all day after work.
"All those pompous fools, with their broken rules! With their noses in the air, they pretend they care! All these stubborn mules, with their fancy schools! But all they learned to do was talk, talk and talk and talk! Now that that's the game we're playing I'm praying we don't play it for long." Harry says with anger.
"Oh wow. That sounds like the wrong place to start up." Sirius says.
"Do you know what the advice was? Its hip to be a hypocrite well that's how it goes. Saying and portraying it just for shows." Harry says when asked for further detail on the people.
"Give it another day?" Sirius says, thinking they might have had a bad day.
However the next day was worse, and Harry knew it. He saw them looking for excuses to fight and they were all trying to show off skills they should have had long ago.
When it came to talking with his Godfather again, he was annoyed.
"All of it was throwing rocks! They all seem to live in these glass mansion, and they throw tantrums while getting a pass! if that's the game we're playing then I'm praying we don't play it for long. All those pompous fools, with their broken rules! With their noses in the air, they pretend they care! All these stubborn mules, with their fancy schools! But all they learned to do was talk, talk and talk and talk!" Harry says.
A/N: Hello all. This was a quick one, and I just felt like it. My brain has kinda died and I have so much work to do. I need to get a batch of Blueberry lollipops out tomorrow, a batch of Black Cherry lollipops after that and Raspberry the day after that. I should get some good money, however. Sorry if I don't get much out these days. I also habe some unfortunate news. I will be disappearing for around 4 weeks in summer. I forget the exact dates, but after that I shall come back. I hope you enjoyed today's story and that's all I habe to spray for now, so
-Clockwork Witch out!
