Chapter 2

Harry awoke and he wasn't entirely sure where he was. It was cold and he knew he had sand in places he didn't want to mention. Harry, groggy, tried to get up and a strong arm kept him in place. He knew who it was and was only thankful they managed to stay together.

There was a noise like people yelling in the background and seagulls screaming. He shook Gregory trying to get him up.

"Wake up!"

"Argh!" Greg growled sourly. "Why?"

Harry shivered and brought Greg's arm around him just a little tighter. The wind picked up and the voices got louder he whispered. "Greg we are on a beach and people are coming in our direction, I think. Now get up and move!"

Greg stood while still keeping hold on him they were worse for wear and shivering. They looked around and found an out cropping of rocks to hide in. The hole in the rocks wasn't very big and Harry looked up at Greg judging the size. "Will you fit in there?"

He peered over and then frowned at the size before looking at Harry "Don't know, let me go first so there's more room to maneuver." It took a bit but eventually he was in.

When Harry slipped through, Gregory clutched him around the waist. They both looked out the hole hoping they weren't seen. Some kids dressed in black with silver face paint came around a bend. Luckily they weren't looking at the footsteps in the sand and were only having some fun.

As the group got out of sight Harry maneuvered himself and got out. He turned around and helped his surrogate big brother out too, healing all the scrapes he managed to accumulate in the hole.

"Do you think anyone else survived?" Greg asked Harry as they looked out at the sea. Harry looked out across the beach and didn't see anyone just wreckage from the boat.

"I don't know, if they did they will be pretty hurt. Greg I'm so cold." He turned around and hugged his heater and was hugged back in return. Gregory Goyle knew he wasn't as smart as most but even he knew they couldn't stay at the beach for long before they started getting sick. His little healer could not heal any type of sickness. On the boat though Harry had developed a couple of cough remedies like the muggle house-wives used to use before pharmacies started to sell industrialized versions like cough medicine (grape flavor). He had gotten pretty good at keeping people from getting more than a common cold.

Now all of there supplies were gone with the boat because two little boys didn't know how to get along. Harry was severely ashamed that he was once friends with the Weasley boys. After what Ron had tried to do to him and Greg prevented. Harry had gone to the twins what he didn't expect was them having agreed with Ron, they with Malfoy and Pansy ruled the ship and thought everyone else should do as they say. Even if it meant submitting to being raped.

That conversation was the last straw, Harry and Greg moved into the same room, they were never apart and the only time they talked to the others was when the five 'leaders' were not around.

"Come on littler healer, we need to find somewhere to get cleaned up and a safe place to sleep." Greg suggested. He put his arm back around Harry to keep track of him and to keep him warm.

They went through some woods and then found themselves at the edge of a graveyard but it looked like the kids that they had seen earlier lived in that area. Greg stepped on a branch and it made a loud popping sound. One of the kids that looked like he was on watch or something turned around and saw them. He pushed the person beside him and they both looked over.

Harry knew what they saw as soon as they yelled 'STRAYS!', two people with matted hair and torn up clothing with no where to go. Greg decided for him that these were not nice people, he once again picked hm up like nothing and ran further into the city. They were chased for a about ten minutes before Greg lost them do to conveniently placed cardboard boxes they hid in.

They stayed hidden for a while then they heard a police siren in the distance. Harry was the first to notice the girl and boy rollerskating down the street heading right to them. The two teens didn't notice them until they were sitting directly next to them. The boy a darker kid looked at them almost panicked he glanced back out at the street but the girl, a blond with red and green paint on her face pulled all three of them down behind the boxes. The police car with skaters hanging all over kept on going.

"I guess they weren't after us after all." The boy turned to look at the girl and she replied with something about the Loko's and them liking to catch people off guard. Harry and Greg glanced at each other both thinking what the hell was going on. The boy turned to them but all of a sudden they heard the sirens getting closer again. Greg was the first to spot the little girl and the cat.

"What is she doing out there alone?" He asked the two new comers. All four of them looked out to the road again.

"She's a stray." The boy told them Harry and the girl snorted.

"Are you talking about the girl or the cat?"

"You know the rules Amber look out for number one."

"What!? Greg please go get her fast! Please!" Harry cried desperately to Greg. Greg grinned at them all and shot off like a rocket scoping the girl off the ground cat and all and ran back before the car was in sight. They all hunkered down when the car turned back on to the street. Harry held the girl close as the car passed them and she held the cat and Greg held them both.

When the threat was gone Harry stood up and glared at the two with skates on. "Number one! How could you say that? Greg, I don't get it, why does everyone act that way?" He quickly went from angry to sad.

Greg stood also and let go of the girl to hug his friend, "I don't know little healer."

"Look I'm sorry I didn't mean anything by it. My name is Dal what's yours?" Everyone turned to look at Dal. Except the little girl that was playing with the cat.

"My name is Amber, thanks for grabbing the girl I would have done it too. So would have Dal but we have had a very big day trying to leave the city." The blond now known as Amber contributed to the conversation.

"Ha, you had a big day! Have you taken a look at us! First our ship blows up, then we swim to shore and then we have to run away from the silver painted people. You think you've had it ruff?" Harry at this point was getting hysterical.

Greg had seen this before back on the ship when his friendship with the Weasley's ended. He picked up the panicked boy bridal style and just rocked him back and forth whispering reassurances. "I won't let anyone hurt you, baby, I will protect you for ever. Don't worry we'll get through this again."

Eventually Harry fell asleep on him and Greg looked up at the others. Amber looked close to tears and the little girl was hugging the cat harder and Dal was looking at them like he was studying them.

"My name is Greg and the little one here is Harry my little brother. Sorry but 'we've' had a very busy day." He said raising an eyebrow at the others. He looked at the little girl that never introduced herself and asked her what her name was.

"Cloe. Is your brother OK?" She asked looking at them shyly.

"He will be, we've had a ruff time lately and the people we were with weren't very nice and used him. Do you know who these gangs are?" He asked looking at Amber and Dal.

Amber and Dal nodded and explained to them about the Locos and the Demon-dogs and the many more tribes and what it meant to be a stray. Harry had woke at the beginning of the explanation but stayed quiet and just listened about the new city they were in. It sounded like you needed to be in a tribe to survive and they really didn't want to join the ones already made.

"Cloe, do you have somewhere to go or someone that takes care of you?" Amber asked Cloe. She just shrugged her shoulders. "Great were gonna have to take you all with us."

"But we are leaving the city and I for one really want to get out alive and I don't think we'll make it with five people." Dal said logically.

"I'm gonna go play with my friends now bye!" Cloe said getting up and leaving four confused people behind her. They looked at each other and decided to follow her and make sure she made it to where ever she was going.

They looked around at the playground they were at and saw two more kids, a dog and a girl about there age. Harry and Greg during there walk talked it through and decided to stay with them until they knew what was going on. They were in a new place and they didn't know the dangers and there was safety in numbers.

Look into the future

what do you see

I really need to know now

Is there a place for me

tell me where do we go from here

take me as you find me

For what I am

When I make mistakes please understand

For as long as I know your near

There is nothing for me to fear

Out of the darkness the light shines

burning through the coldest night

We can find our way

Together we'll make it

with every step we take

we're closer together

if were going to survive

the dream must stay alive...
