I just posted this story yestrday and I was amazed by all the reviews and Authr Alerts I got. So I decided to finish thte second chapter. ENJOY!!
Chapter: 2
Harry clutched at his body in pain. He had to make it stop. If the person who jumped off of the train saw him they would be suspicious. He gritted his teeth and stood up. He pulled his trunk to the pile with the rest of the trunks. He saw the person run over with his trunk and was surprised to find that it was Draco Malfoy.
"What are you doing Potter? Shouldn't you be in the carriages?"
"I should ask the same, Malfoy."
"I had to run back and grab something I forgot. Well we might as well head up to the school." He said as he set his trunks beside Harry's. he opened his trunk and rummaged through it.
"What are you doing Malfoy?" Asked Harry with a confused look.
"I'm getting, ah, this." He said as he pulled out his Nimbus 2001."It's easier to fly to the school. Well aren't g you going to get your broom?"
Harry Would if he had it but he didn't. His Uncle had broken it in one of his drunken rages. He went on about how Harry would use it to escape.
"Um well I don't…"
"Are you serious? You really don't have a broom? Gees." Draco gave out a big sigh and scooted forward on his broom. 'Fine you can ride mine. But you tell anybody and your dead Potter. Got it?"
"Yeah. Thanks." Said Harry as he climbed onto the Nimbus 2001. Harry wrapped his hands around the small section of wood that sat between him and Draco.
"Gees Potter." Draco grabbed Harry's hands and rapped them around his waist." Have you never ridden a broom with someone? Here Keep your arms around my waist or you'll fall off. And for Merlin's sake scoot up a bit." Harry did as told and scooted up.
"Okay here we go." Said Draco.
And they were off. As soon as they were in the air Harry had his eyes closed. He loved the feeling of flying. The air in his face, the freedom, the feeling of raising above everything. It was what he needed. But sadly it ended to soon. Harry opened his eyes to see that they had landed beside Hagrids hut. Harry was the first to get down. But as he was getting down he fell and hit the ground. He sat up and crouched over in pain. Forgetting for a moment that there was actually someone there.
"Whats with you Potter?" Harry slowly stood up.
"Nothing I just hit a bruise I got in fit."
"You, Potter, in a fist fight? I would have loved to see that. So did you when?'
"Almost?" Said Harry, the lie coming naturally to him. After all it had been drilled into his head.
"Come on Potter. They're shutting the doors." said Draco as he got off his broom and began to run to the school. Harry quickly followed Draco, who was much further than Harry. Luckily Draco got there first and got them to hold the doors for him Harry.
By time Harry got up there he was exhausted and out of breathe.
"Thank you." he said as he walked up to Draco.
Harry sat huffing and puffing, trying to get more air into his lungs.
"For Merlin's sake Potter, get out more often."
"I'll… make sure to… do that Malfoy." Said Harry as he started to regain his regular breathing pattern.
After words they both started for the Great Hall. Once they walked through doors all eyes were on them. Draco turned to go to the Slytherin table while Harry went to the Gryffindor table. But he didn't sit beside Hermione and Ron. Instead he went down towards the end. Where Neville and a few more of his Gryffindor friends sat.
"Hey Harry? How was your vacation?" asked an excited Neville.
"Fine I guess. Pretty uneventful How about yours?" Harry's vacation of course was not uneventful at all. I mean with the beatings and the rape. That kind a thing changes your life pretty drastically.
"It was boring except for the fact that I got a girlfriend!"
"Really? Good for you Neville. Whats her-" They were cute off by Dumbledore who announced the entering of the new students. It took a while for all the kids to be sorted. There were 16 new Gryffindors, 9 new Ravenclaws, 20 new Hufflepuffs and only 2 new Slytherins. Who both happened to be twins.
Afterwards he gave his speech and introduced the new DADA teacher.
"Hello students My names Professor Skirrder. I'm like so happy to be working here with all of you fabulous students. And I hope we have a wonderful year together. If you nee anything you can come to me. Even if it's to talk. I am also the new school counselor. Thank you." He said with a big smile.
"Everyone started clapping but nobody was talking. They were all thinking along the lines of 'Professor Dumbledore hired a gay teacher?'
"Thank you Professor Skirrder for that wonderful speech. And now students you may it." All the tables began to fill with food. Harry dug into the food. Seeing as how he had emptied his stomach after the incident with Ron and Hermione.
"So Harry why aren't you sitting with Ron and Hermione?" Asked Seamus as he reached for another roll.
'Um I guess you could say we got into a bit of a row with each other."
"Oh over what?" Asked the very nosy Seamus. Who happened to get a whack from his boyfriend Dean.
"Stop being nosy. It's their business. Sorry Harry. I hope you guys sort it out soon."
"Thanks.' It was then that the prefects announced they were heading up to the dorms. Harry said By the Neville, Seamus and Dean who were still eating. He quickly walked by Ron and Hermione and walked towards the front of the line. Of course the whisper of, "Look there's Harry potter," was heard from all the first years. Harry of course ignored them all, as usual. Finally they got to the portrait of the fat lady and were given the new password. Harry quickly went inside and went up to his Dorm room. He went straight to his trunk and toke out his pajamas. He went straight for the bathroom and locked the doors. He removed all his clothes except his underwear and stood in the mirror. He had to make sure that all his cuts and bruises were covered. He didn't want to risk the chance of someone finding them and getting suspicious. He found a spot on his side that was showing. He had probably gotten it when he jumped off of the train. He used a glamour to cover it. He put on some cream to help ease the pain of the bruises. He rubbed it in good and got dressed. When he walked out Ron was putting his clothes on. Harry looked at him for a second with a face of disgust and then headed for his bed.
"Harry, me and herm-" But he was cut off by Harry.
"I don't want to here it Ron. Just… leave me alone and don't talk to me." Harry said as he climbed into bed and pulled the drapes closed. He put up a silence spell and laid down. He put it up for two reasons. One he nearly always had nightmares of various things. From the Death of Cedric and Sirius to the rape and abuse. The second was because he didn't want everybody to hear him crying. He felt so alone. With Sirius gone and him angry at Ron and Hermione he had no one to talk to. He felt so alone. Especially seeing Ron and Hermione together. Seeing them made him want someone of his own to love. And someone to love him. He wanted to know what it felt like to be loved. And to love someone else. He always heard the stories and saw the couples. He wanted that for himself. He thought back to dinner and remembered what Professor Skirrder said. Maybe he would talk to him sometime soon. He knew that keeping it all bottled up inside wasn't good to do. Especially for a wizard. Harry wiped the last of his tears and finally fell asleep.
