A/N: Here's another chapter. I hope you like it. I'll try to do a chapter as often as I can, but I also have another story that I need to finish. And it's hard, I have to think of so much to type down. As to this story, well, I am thinking of all of this as I type. So, yeah. Enjoy!

Seth thought for a moment as Summer came into the room "Hey, Summer, what's up?" Seth asked not even bothering to question her statement as she arrived. Summer shut the door and walked in "Oh, not much. Went to go see if Coop wanted to go shopping with me, but she was out on a date with some guy she met a party." Summer told them as she sat down beside Seth and looked at Harry "Oh, um, you have probably mentioned this before, but who's Coop?" Harry asked as he rubbed the back of his neck uncomfortably as Seth spoke up "Coop is also known as Marissa, Ryan's ex-girlfriend and Summer's best friend." Harry nodded, Summer smiled "So, London, what is it like in London? I've always wanted to go there." Harry looked up "It's alright I guess. It's a lot different from this, California. It is more expensive there than it is here." Harry told her as Kirsten knocked on the door, she opened it "Seth, Ryan? dinner is ready. Hi, Summer, would you like to stay?" Summer smiled "I can't I have to get back to my dad. I'll see you guys later." Summer told them as she got up and left "Okay, Harry? Would you like to stay?" Harry looked up "You really don't have too." Harry told her "It's fine, come on. We always like having Seth's friends over." Kirsten told them as she walked out.

Seth, Ryan and Harry walked into the kitchen. Seth sat down as Sandy and Kirsten sat at opposite ends of the table. Ryan sat down beside Seth and Harry sat down across from Ryan. They all started to eat in silence until Sandy spoke up "So, Harry, do you have family here?" Harry shook his head "No, sir." Kirsten looked at Harry as Harry's head down, looking at his plate of chinese food "Then are you staying with friends?" Harry shook his head again "No, ma'me." Sandy and Kirsten both looked at each other with worried glances "Harry, please call us, Sandy and Kirsten. You don't have to be formal with us." Harry nodded but didn't look up as Ryan and Seth looked at each other than back at Harry "Harry, if you don't me asking, but who are you staying with?" Sandy asked as he sipped his wine "No one." Harry answered as he stirred his rice around his plate "Okay, where are you staying?" Kirsten asked this time "At a motel. I don't know anyone here, so I had to stay there by myself." Harry spooned some chowmain up and put it in his mouth "Uh, Sandy, can I please talk to you for a second in privet?" Kirsten asked getting up as well as Sandy. "Excuse us for a few minutes guys." Harry looked up at Ryan and Seth and noticed the confused looks they were both giving him "What?" Ryan and Seth shrugged their shoulders "Nothing" as both Kirsten and Sandy walked back into the kitchen and sat down.

Harry looked up at Kirsten who smiled at him, Harry smiled back than looked at Sandy "Okay, Harry, both Sandy and myself both talked it over and if you would like, we both think it would be better this way, safer for you that is, we would like you to stay here at our house." Kirsten told him as Sandy nodded in agreement. Both Ryan and Seth looked at each other with wide eyes. "Really, you don't have too." Harry told them "Really, Harry, we would both love having you here. You would be getting food to eat, you wouldn't have to worry about paying rent. You can stay here as long as you like." Sandy told him, Harry's jaw dropped "But where would I sleep?"Harry asked, then Kirsten spoke up "Since there are relatives who do tend to show up here from time to time unannounced, so you couldn't really use are guest room, but I'm sure Ryan would be happy to share it with you. Think of it yourselves as roommates."Kirsten smiled then turned to Ryan who looked at Harry "Ryan, would you mind Sharing the pool house with Harry. You two seem to get along. So, is that okay, Ryan?" Ryan smiled at Harry who smiled back, then looked at Kirsten "It's fine. I don't mind. But there is only one bed in there." Ryan told them "I forgot about that. You don't mind sharing do you. I mean, I am sure it's big enough for the both of you, just until Sandy and I get another bed in there." Kirsten asked not noticing Harry's cheeks turn red. Sandy looked at Kirsten than Ryan and Harry "I think it will be fun, it would be like one of those slumber parties that Hayley used to have when she was a kid." Seth laughed as Ryan glared at Sandy "What? " Sandy asked as Seth kept laughing. "Well, Harry since you'll be staying with us, then we should goto your motel room and get your stuff. You're not going to stay there another night, you'll get to stay with us now." Kirsten told them as they all finished their dinner and got ready to go and pick Harry's stuff up. "Oh, Seth, you'll drive Harry to his motel room to get his stuff won't you?" Seth nodded and cleaned off the table.

The boys got into Kirsten's jeep and left for the motel. "I really appreciate this. Your parents don't have to do this." Harry said as he put on his seat belt in the front seat, since Ryan didn't come. "It's fine Harry. It's the same thing they did for Ryan to, when he had nowhere else to go. My parents just like helping other people out." Harry smiled "Well, I like your parents, their very nice. I wander if my parents were ever like that?" Seth looked at Harry "I'm sure they were." Seth said as he drove out of the driveway. Harry looked out the window "It's too bad Ryan decided on not to come with with us." Harry told him, Seth put a cd in the jeep stereo "My mom told him to clean up the pool house, since you'll be sleeping with him at night...I mean...you'll be sharing the room with him." Seth said as Harry whipped his head to look at Seth and raised a brow, Seth looked at Harry noticing Harry was back to looking out the window "You like him don't you?" Seth asked keeping his eyes on the road "Like who?" Harry asked softly "Ryan." Seth answered as he bit his lip "Yeah, I do, he's nice. He is quiet but he is a nice guy, I want to get to know him more, but he keeps everything so locked up inside of himself, that it's hard to talk to him. I really want to know who he is." Harry told Seth as the jeep stopped at the motel "Well, that's Ryan for you, bad boy-Ryan, gets in trouble for a alot. Here we are." Harry opened the vehicle door and got out. "I know about that. But fighting and partying doesn't make someone bad. Okay, he may be no angel but he isn't a bad person. He has a soul and well, I just want to get to know more about Ryan Atwood." Harry told him as they went into Harry's motel room and went to the front desk to pay for the nights Harry had stayed there and left.

Seth and Harry drove up into the drive way and got out of the jeep and walked into the house with Harry's bags. "Hey, mom, dad." Kirsten and Sandy both looked up and smiled "Hey, you two. You got everything?" Kirsten asked "Yep, we're just going to take it to The Pool house." Seth told them as they walked through the kitchen and into the back yard. "You know Seth, it's so nice here. I would have loved growing up here." Harry told Seth as he looked up at the pool and back at Seth who was beside him "Well, it was nice growing up here I guess." Seth said as they walked into the pool house. "Hey Ryan, where can I put my stuff?" Harry asked as Ryan looked up and pointed to the cabinet of drawers "There are some empty drawers over there." Ryan said as he sat down on the bed. Seth set Harry's suitcases by the cabinet "Well, I guess I'll leave you to your suitcases. See ya later." Harry nodded as Seth walked out the door. Harry put his clothes in the drawers along with his wand. He had figured he would wait a while till he would tell Ryan and Seth what he really was. He went into one of his suitcases and found the picture of his mom and dad dancing. 'It's probably not a good idea to leave this out.' Harry thought to himself. He put the picture face down in one of the drawers along with his photo album. Harry put the empty bags in a closet and walked over to the bed and sat down.

Harry looked over and saw that Ryan was doing his history homework that was due the next day and thought that he should do the same thing. He got his textbook and binder out of his knapsack and started to read his book and answer the questions that he had to answer out of the book. "Ryan, just so I know, which side of the bed do you usually sleep on?" Harry asked as he opened his binder "The right, I guess." Ryan said as he turned a page. Ryan looked up at Harry "I've been meaning to ask, how did you get that scar on your forehead?" Harry looked up and bit his lip "It's along story." Harry told him as he fidgited with his fingers "It is different. Not many people get scars in shapes of different designs on themselves." Harry shrugged, Ryan decided to let the topic go. "So, Ryan, what do people do around here for fun beside swim and lie in the sun?" Harry asked as he wrote down an answer to a question "Well, there are a lot of parties. Every weekend. Really fancy parities, that is." Ryan told him as he shut his book since he was finished with what he was supposed to do. "Cool, I've never really been to any type of party. I mean my school did have a ball, but that was it." Harry said to him as Ryan laid down on his back with his arms folded behind his head. Ryan nodded and shut his eyes "Do you remember anything about your parents?" Ryan asked quietly and looked up at Harry who looked down at him "Not much. I was just a baby when they died. I know that they loved me and that my mom had died for me." Ryan gave him him a sad smile "Sorry, you never got to meet them. What'd they look like?" Ryan asked quietly as he shut his eyes again "Well, my mom had red hair and green eyes and my dad had dark brown hair and gray eyes. He also wore glasses like me. Hey I was wandering, tomorrow after school I want to go to the eye clinic and get contacts, I think it would be something different if I did. Would you like to come with me?" Harry asked as he put his books away. "Sure." was all Ryan said "And maybe I could get to know more about the famous Ryan Atwood." Harry said jokingly, Ryan smiled and looked up at Harry "I'm hardly famous, but thanks for the complement." Ryan said as he looked at Harry who grinned "Anytime." Harry said as he laid down next to Ryan taking off his glasses, putting them on the nightstand beside the bed, shutting his eyes and let the darkness take him.

Harry was walking around a graveyard pinned to Tom Marvalo Riddle's tombstone looking at Cedric Diggory who was lying on his back with dead eyes open. Harry looked down at Cedric's lifeless body struggling against the tombstone trying to get free. Harry looked back at Cedric's dead eyes when they moved, Harry gasp when Cedric's mouth open "Murderer" he growelled, Harry scream "No" and felt someone shaking him.

Ryan was in the bathroom as Harry was sleeping until he heard "No, No, Noooooo." Harry yelling in his sleep. Ryan ran towards the bed and sat on the bed next to Harry, shaking his shoulder, trying to wake him up "Harry, wake up. It's just a dream." Ryan said as Harry's head was whipping back and forth "No, I didn't do it. No." Harry screamed, Ryan ran a hand through his hair and decided to sit on Harry's lap so he could get a better grasp and put both hands on Harry's shoulders "Harry, wake up. Please Harry wake up." Ryan cried out as Harry screamed "Aah" and sat up throwing himself in Ryan's arms. Ryan wrapped his arms around Harry's neck as Harry's were around his waist and shaking. "Shh, it's okay, Harry. It was only a dream." Ryan said softly as Harry let go of Ryan and flopped back down on the bed, Ryan got off of Harry "Okay, Harry, can you please just tell me what the hell that was?" Ryan nearly yelled as he looked at the shivering boy beside him "It was a memory from my past. Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you." Harry said in barely a whisper. Ryan looked down at Harry and put his hand on Harry's shoulder "It's alright. Do you want to talk about it?" Ryan asked, Harry didn't look up "I'd rather not. But what I can tell you is that I don't have a good past. You may think that yours isn't any better, but I can assure you Ryan, that this is far worse than yours." Harry said as he shut his eyes trying to stop the tears that were threatening to come, but came anyways. Ryan noticed this and laid down beside Harry moving closer to Harry and hesitantly putting his arms around Harry's waist. Harry put his arms around Ryan's neck. Harry lifted up his head to put it on Ryan's shoulder. He turned his head a bit to smell Ryan's scent, which was spicy. Harry smiled "It's been a while since I've let anyone hug me. It's nice, I feel safe. If only it wasn't for just now. It would take all my bad memories away." Harry said as his eyes shut once more "How is your past worse than mine?" Ryan wanted to know, Harry sighed "I'm sorry Ryan, but I can't tell you right now. Trust me, your better off not knowing." Harry said as he let Ryan hold him "Fine" Ryan sighed, he decided not to push any further. "So, you never told me what your parents names were, what were they?" Ryan asked as he rubbed a hand up and down Harry's back "Lily and James, yours?" Harry asked as fidgeted with the sleeve of Ryan's shirt "Dawn and Frank" Ryan said as he shut his eyes. Harry lifted his head off of Ryan's shoulder and laid it back down on the bed and looked right into Ryan's deep-blue eyes "Wow, I never noticed how blue your eyes were." Harry said softly as he stared into them "They're so blue, like the ocean. Your eyes really sparkle. And I just realized how gay that must of sound." Harry said as he shut his eyes to look at Ryan again to see Ryan smile "You've got really nice eyes too. They are really green. Emerald-green. Thanks by the way. No one has ever commented on my eyes before." Harry smiled as he grabbed Ryan's hand and started to draw circles on it with his index finger. "Your a nice guy Ryan. Your different from anyone that I have ever met." Harry told him 'Well, for one Harry, he is a muggle and not a wizard.' Harry thought to himself "I am?" Harry nodded "How am I different?" Harry shrugged "You just are. I mean you seem like a person, who doesn't care what people think of yourself, your pleasant to be with. You are comforting to be around. I like that. You also haven't started to bug me with the nightmare I had earlier." Harry said as he looked down at Ryan's hand "Well, I do want to know what is going on in that mind of yours but I can wait until your ready." Ryan said as he looked at the clock and noticed it was 11:30. "We should get to sleep since we have to be up early for school tomorrow. I'll go get dressed in my pyjamas in the bathroom, than you can, Okay?" Harry nodded as Ryan picked up his pyjamas and walked to the bathroom. Harry went to the cabinet to get his own pyjamas, he too out his stripped blue pants and his dark blue long sleeved top. Five minutes later Ryan came out of the bathroom in a white t-shirt and black boxers. Harry went into the bathroom as he looked at what Ryan was wearing. Then another five minutes later Harry opened the door and turned off the light in the bathroom. Harry went over to the bed and sat down as he lifted the blankets up to put on his lap, Harry took off his glasses placing them on the nightstand again and laid down. "Can I turn off the light now?" Ryan asked "Sure" was all Harry said "Night Harry. Hope you have a good sleep." Harry chuckled "Me too, night Ryan." Harry said as they both fell asleep.

Harry woke with a gasp and looked at the clock, it said 2:45am. Harry looked over at Ryan who was fast asleep. Harry was to scared to fall asleep again, so he nervously moved closer to Ryan. Harry pulled the blankets up to his chin, looked at the blue-eyed angel once more and fell back to sleep, keeping his body right beside Ryan's.

Morning came for Ryan fast as his alarm beeped. Ryan shut it off, he stretched noticing something breathing warm air on him. Remembering Harry staying in the pool house with him and looked over and noticed Harry had moved closer to him. 'He probably had another nightmare.' Ryan thought as he reached a hand over to Ryan and moved his bangs out of Harry's face, noticing the lightening bolt scar on the left side of his forehead and scrunched his eyebrows together 'How did he get that? I wander.' Ryan shrugged and rubbed a hand over his face than decided to shake Harry away "Harry, wake up." Harry swatted Ryan's hand away "G' way." Harry mumbled, Ryan smiled and shook Harry's shoulder again 'He's cute....' Ryan's eyes widened at that and shook his head. "Harry, Harry, wake up. If you don't wake up, I am going to get a tub of water and dump in on your head." Ryan threatened, nothing had happened. "Okay, then." Ryan got up and went into the bathroom and filled a tub full of water, Ryan grinned evilly. He walked back over noticing that Harry still hadn't woken up. He poured the water all over Harry's head and threw the tub on the floor. Harry gasped and sat up and wrapped his arms around his waist. "What the bloody hell di--d you d----d--o that for?" Harry yelled, Ryan shrugged his shoulders "Sorry, but you wouldn't wake up and left me with no other choice. Now go get dressed, we have school in an hour and a half." Ryan said as Harry glared and got up going into the cabinet to get some clothes and got dressed.
