Chapter Five: Meet the band
Harry stepped into the room, everyone glanced up waiting for the address seeing as they had no clue where band practice was. Harry inwardly sighed, they were looking at him expectantly, Harry drawled reluctantly in a slight southern accent.
"The address is 64 Bromwell Avenue"
At that moment Ashley scrambled into the room clutching the tattered remains of what he called shoes. Lily disdainfully glanced down at the navy shoes they were too many sizes small,second-hand and they had seen better days, Ashley heaved himself onto the high recliner and struggled to wrestle his feet into them. Sirius took pity on the small child and helped him wear the shoes, he laced them up using what was left of the shoe lace. By what ever deity was up there The Potters better pray to actually survive when Harry got his hands on them then they might have a semblence of a chance to redeem themselves in Harry's eyes or he might leave and take Ashley with him, Ashley deserved a life where he grew up loved.
Seeing as Ashley was getting help and she wasn't, Jessie whined to James.
"Daddy, Put my shoes on! Now!"
Harry's sensative hearing twinged at the high pitched noise, he shook his head trying to disspell the ringing pounding in his head. Lifting Ashley up into his arms, Harry dropped a handful of Floo powder into the fire place and strolled out of the green fire at Skylar's house. Harry and Ashley were crushed into a hug by Jeane, Lightning and Skylar's had come home from work and heared the fire crackling. When she entered the room she saw her adoptive son dawdle out of the fireplace with an utterly adorable little boy in his arms.
"Who's this then?"
"This is Ashley, my little brother"
Harry put Ashley onto the floor so he didn't get squished by the other members of the Poisen Black Poisen. They were the leaders of the gray side to the war, they all knew Harry was the real Boy-Who-Lived, but he hated the title and didn't want to fight on either side of the war. Harry was the leader to the side, he had influence and power, he owned businesses and companies and financed many other gripped onto Harry's trouser leg and hid behind him.
Three pairs of feet pounded down the stairs rushing to meet Harry and his mysterious door was slammed open and three lads fell into the room. Skylar, Lightning and Davie rushed towards Harry engulfing him in a tight choking hug, they took a step back and noticed Ashley clutching Harry's left leg. Harry bent down and lifted up Ashley, the little boy wrapped his arms around Harry's neck. The others watched silently, this was the first time Harry showed emotion to some one other than them and Macey Malkin, Jeane cleared her throat behind them, she had to tell the lads that band practise was cancelled because the Minester Fudge was holding a Halloween Ball.
"Unfortunately the minestry of magic has decided to hold a halloween ball so band practice is cancelled; you are all going.I know James is head auror so Harry will be going too."
Davie turned to Harry eyes holding the hopefull expression that Harry just couldn't say no to. Davie strongly reminded Harry of Sasha, Harry's
"You will meet us there wont you?"
"Of I may have something else to do first, don't worry I will be attending the monstrosity"
Happiness filled Davie's eyes and Harry was glad he had said the right answer.
James arrived through the fireplace, he glanced around, his eye's settling on Harry.
"We are to attend a ministry ball, they want the girl-who-lived there so we of course are attending"
He looked behind Harry's shoulder scowling at the woman who was the only mother Harry was the only person close to a mother Harry remembered, she hated it when Harry killed himself little by little each day, living a life that will kill him and Harry honestly welcomed death, he wasn't scared, he didn't fear was okay for the first three years of his life, they went uder the fidilus charm when he was born, he wasn't allowed to go outside in fear that the darklord Voldemort would take him. James was stressed then, he became even more stressed when Jessica was born, they had no time for Harry.
James pulled Harry back through the fireplace and out at Madame Malkins robes for all occasions.
The whole bunch was there, the Potters, the Weasley family and most of Jessica's friends. They were all looking through the clothes racks for ball gowns and tuxes. Madame Malkin bustled up to Harry. They were good friends, her neighbour had adopted Harry when he was six, the neighbour couldn't look after him so he stayed for a couple months at Madame Malkin's house whilst he was found a new home.
"Harry! How nice to see you again!"
"Hey Macey. Are you okay?"
"I'm fine, can I help you?"
"I want new clothes for this Halloween ball, will you be going?"
"I trust you do not wish to go in robes. Green will bring out your eyes and black would go with your hair"
"I think a green t-shirt, leather biker jacket, black combats and green with black converses will be alright"
"It'll cost thirteen galleons to get it down here. I'll have to order from one of your muggle shops, the Vampire Freaks one. If I ask Jason he'll bring it round then I'll send it to you tonight"
Harry nodded and pulled out a moneybag, he counted out the thirteen galleons and handed them to Madame cleared his throat behind them, it seemed like the rest had finished and had found ball gowns. Of course Jessica wasn't satisfied with the ball gown she had found and demanded hers was custom made, so whilst they were ordering Madame Malkin to make it Harry walked out the he passed Jessica and her friends one of them whispered to Hermione.
"You know, you're brother's kinda hott"
Jessica's outraged shriek was heard down Diagon whispered and wondered what had made the Golden Girl so angry. Harry inwardly sighed, he would never date one of them especially Jessica's friends who were air-headed and gossip mongers just like would never grow a back bone and stop listening to the lies and commands of Jessica.
Harry carried on walking to Gringotts, when he reached there he walked up to an unoccupied teller, the goblin sneered at him.
"I need to speak to the accountant of the Bemrose family"
The Goblin led him to Ragnak's office, he was the head of the Bemrose account.
"Hello Ragnak, I wish for all Gringotts mail to be sent to Hogwarts were I am staying for the next couple days"
"It will be done"
Harry strolled down into the main foyer of gringotts were the rest of the group were waiting whilst James argued with Griphook. He ignored the curious glances Lily gave him and walked straight out the door,Jessica and her friends trailing behind, giggling. Harry walked into florticues Ice cream parlour and ordered a mint choclate chip ice-cream, he sat at the table nearest the door. Jessica and her friends laughed and shrieked behind him, Lily joined them after James finished talking to Griphook,the Wealseys gathered on the table infront of Harry, the swarm of redheads jostled and joked with each other. Dumbledor arrived after they had soon finished their Ice creams.
"I've come to take you to Hogwarts"
They left Florticues, as they walked to The Leaky Cauldron people crowded them, wanting an autograph or picture of the Girl-Who-Lived and waited in the line for the floo. Jessica whined to James, she was the golden girl, she was not meant to wait in line!
"Daddy! I don't want to wait in line"
They pushed their way to the front and shoved everyone else out of the line,people grumbled and groaned at watched as they all flooed to Albus Dumbledor's office one-by-one until Ashley and Harry were the only ones left with the angry mob. Harry sweeped Ashley up into his arms and dropped the floo powder into the green stepped into the flames and called out over the roaring fire.
"Hogwarts, Albus Dumbledor's Office"
