A new year!

A/N::I hope this story makes sense. As you can tell it's a crossover between Harry Potter and The OC. This is a slash story. This story is going to be mostly a progressing relationship between Harry and Ryan. There are mentions of parts from HBP but doesn't involve DH. Please no Hating. If you don't like slash than don't read it, I'm not forcing you too.


We've been on the run
Driving in the sun
Looking out for #1
California here we come
Right back where we started from

Hustlers grab your guns
Your shadow weighs a ton
Driving down the 101
California here we come
Right back where we started from

California!
Here we come!

It was Harry's first day at Harbor High. Harry had to finish his last year of school. Since he couldn't at Hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry cause the school had been shut down because of the war and killing Voldermort. It had been destroyed and Harry just had to get out of the wizarding world. So, Harry decided to check out Harbor High School in Newport, California. He had talked to the Dean, Dr.Kim, she understood his situation. And the fact that he had no parents, she let it slip. She accepted him as she read his transcript that Professor McGonagall gave him his transcript after she had talked to Dr.Kim about Harry having no imediate family around. Dr.Kim saw Harry's grades in the classes he had taken. And she accepted him right away. Dr.Kim looked over at Harry with a smile "Welcome to Harbor High, Mr.Potter. I hope everything works out." Harry smiled and got up. He shook her hand and walked out of the room heading to his first class.

Harry walked into History 12 and noticed how different the classrooms were from the ones at Hogwarts. He walked in and walked up the teacher who was standing up at the front of the room. Harry smiled "I'm the new student, I'm taking this class." Harry said nervously "Uh, yes, Mr.Potter, you are the transfer student from Seven Kings High School in London, England?" Harry nodded "Okay, here's a textbook and there's an empty seat right over there." Mr.Edwards pointed across the room. Harry nodded and walked over with his bag that was slung over his shoulder. He stopped at the table that a guy with dirty blond hair and blue eyes was sitting at, all by himself. Harry exahled a breath "Uh, hi, is...this seat taken?" Harry asked the blue eyed boy. The blue eyed boy apperently didn't say anything as he looked Harry up and down. Harry was wearing slitly baggy jeans that slipped to his hips and you could see the waist band of his boxers, he was also wearing a black, v-neck t-shirt that was covered by a smoky blue zip up hoodie. The blue eyed boy looked at his face and noticed that Harry was wearing thick-black round glasses that covered his emerald-green eyes. "So, can I? Sit here?" Harry asked again, the blue eyed boy snapped out of his revivery "Uh, yeah sure." the blue-eyed boy said softly as he turned back to his books.'What is wrong with me?' he asked himself as he went back to reading his text. Harry sat down and opened his text book and then looked over at the blue eyed boy that was sitting beside him. He thought of introducing himself to the gorgeous, blue-eyed, boy, Harry's eyes widened 'wait did I just think this guy is gorgeous? I don't even know his name. He does have a hot voice, even though it was so soft, even for a guy.' Harry didn't care. He didn't have a single friend in California, he was hoping to make the blue eyed boy a friend. But the bell went and snapping Harry out of his thoughts, he noticed the gorgeous boy had packed up his books and left the room. Harry sighed and did the same thing and walked to his next class and told this Calculas teacher the same thing as he told his History teacher. The Calculas teacher told him to go sit down by the boy with the dark brown curly hair.

Harry walked over to the chair beside the boy "Hi, is it alright if I sit here?" Harry asked neverously, the curly-brown haired boy looked up at him and smiled "Yes, of course." Harry's eyes widened as he sat down. "So, are you from London?" he asked Harry "Yes, I am." the boy smiled "I'm Seth Cohen." Harry smiled "Harry Potter." Seth stuck out his hand, Harry looked at it and shook it. "It's finally nice to have someone talking to me." Seth smiled again "People can be like that around here. You either get gossiped about or beatened up. Personally, both are never good." Harry chuckeled. I know, back at home in London, I was very popular with the tabloids and I always had people talking about me. Once you get to know me, you'll know why." Harry told him. Both Harry and Seth talked about Harry's life in London and Seth's Newport life and Harry's classes that he had after Calculas. "So Harry, lunch is in about 10 minutes, would you like to hang out with me and my friends?" Seth asked, Harry smiled "Sure, it would be nice to have someone to hangout with. Remembering the guy he had History class with.

Luch had arrived. Harry followed Seth to where he was taking him. Seth sat down on a couch beside, who Harry noticed was the guy from his History class "Hey, Ryan, this is Harry Potter, he's new here." Ryan looked up at Harry "Uh, Ryan, is something wrong?" He looked at the shocked look on Ryan's face then looked at Harry "Do you two know eachother, which I would find it kind of hard to believe cause Harry isn't from here." Ryan closed his eyes and looked at Seth "Sorry, um, I'm Ryan Atwood." Ryan stood up and shook Harry's hand. Harry looked right directly at Ryan, not taking his eyes off of him. Seth looked Ryan to Harry 'Okay, this is weird. They are still shaking hands and the haven't taken their eyes off of each other since I introduced them. I wander if Harry's gay. He sure doesn't act or sound like it.' Seth thought to himself. Seth looked around, nobody was looking at them, which made him feel so much better. No one was gossiping about Ryan and Harry, still holding eachothers hand. "So......Harry?" Harry's head snapped and turned his head to look over at Seth and dropped Ryan's hand "It's nice to meet you." Ryan nodded as he sat back down on the couch as did Seth with Harry in the middle. Seth decided to speak up "So, uh, Harry. What do you like to do? What are your hobbies? I only know that you used to be popular at your old school and that you take Calculas with me and History with Ryan. So, tell us something about yourself. Anything at all." Harry nodded he looked at Ryan who just looked back at him and Harry looked back at Seth then his lap "Well, I am from London as you both can tell. My parents died when I was a year old. The man who killed them had been trying to kill me for the past 16 years, he's now dead. My bestfriends are Ron and Hermione, they both live back in London. I am an only child. Yes, I was popular back in London, the reasons to that, well, you two will find out sooner or later. My favorite sport is cricket. I play the guitar and I sing while playing the guitar. Which I can show you guys sometime. I've only had one girlfriend, Ginny, she's my best mate's little sister. But we broke up because I wasn't in love with her and I just didn't feel that way with her anymore, I relized that we were better off as friends. And, yeah, I think that's it. If you two arn't busy after school I could come by your place and play and sing you a song or two on my guitar." Harry suggested as he looked back down at his hands on his lap "You sing and play guitar? Cool." Seth said as Harry nodded "So, Harry....um, what songs do you play guitar too?" Ryan asked as he rubbed the back of his neck, both Seth and Harry turned their heads to look at him "Anything I guess. I love Three days Grace and Saliva, they are easy to practice to." Harry told him as he stared into Ryan's ocean blue eyes "Really? I thought it would be hard." Ryan told him. "Well, it can be, but you just have to know which strings to use. I mean it's not as simple as it looks, it takes practice but it's not extreamly hard. I don't know if that makes any sence." Harry trailed off as he saw a tall girl with long brown hair walk over to them. "There you are Cohen, Hi Chino." Harry looked at Seth and Ryan and raised a brow "Um, Cohen and Chino? Okay, Cohen I get but Chino? I thought your last name was Atwood." Harry asked Ryan, Ryan sighed "It is, Chino is where I'm from, not a very nice place to grow up in, Summer just tends to call me that and her boyfriend by his last name." Summer looked from Ryan to Seth to Harry "Cohen, aren't you going to introduce us." Summer smiled sweetly at Harry "Well, Summer, this is Harry Potter, he is from London as you can tell from the accent and he is a transfer student." Seth told her as they all got up from the couch to get to their next classes "Nice to meet you Summer. I'll see you, later Seth, since Ryan and I have English next." Harry turned to Ryan as Ryan stood right in front of him "Would you like to walk with me to class." Harry shut his eyes and slapped his hand on to his forehead, sorry I just realized how gay that sound." Ryan smiled "Sure lets go. See you guys later." Ryan told him as Harry waved to Summer and Seth.

School was out and so was Summer and Seth "So, Cohen, who was that?"Summer asked him, Seth walked with Summer outside of the school "That as I introduced you is Harry Potter. Transfer student from London, England." Seth told her as he walked over to his mother's jeep with Summer, waiting for Ryan and maybe even Harry. "Well, I think he's cute." Seth gave her a look "Oh, come on Seth, he is hot, he probably even has a girlfriend." Seth smiled "He doesn't, as to what he told me." Summer looked around for both Ryan and Harry. "Do you think, that Chino and London like eachother?" Summer asked as she inspected her finger nails "Well, I guess, they do get along and Ryan hasn't stated otherwise. Summer rolled her eyes, Seth obviously not getting what she meant "I meant Seth, do you think they like eachother the way you and me like eachother?" Summer whispered, Seth gave her a weird look "What? Why would you think that? They are both guys? Plus they have both dated girls Summer." Seth admitted to her "Ugh, no Seth, you don't get it. Didn't you see the looks they gave eachother. Chino couldn't take his eyes off of him, London couldn't either. They are both obviously attracted to eachother. And I can't see why they wouldn't be they are both extreamly hot." Summer told him as she saw both Ryan and Harry walking towards the jeep "Plus Seth, Chino walked London to class." Seth gave her a weird look "They were headed to the same class." Summer elbowed him as Harry and Ryan stopped beside them. They all got into the jeep. Summer sat in the front with Seth and Ryan and Harry sat beside each other in the back.

Summer pulled the sun visor down to checker lip gloss and looked at Ryan and Harry, who she noticed kept looking at each other. She smiled to herself 'Well, Seth Cohen, it seems like I was right. Ryan Atwood and Harry Potter are, what do the British call it? Oh, right, they fancy each other. Well, it looks like they are going to need a bit of my help. God, they are so into each other, they just keep on googeling each other. They so need my help.' Summer thought to herself as she saw that Ryan was smiling at Harry and licking his lips. Summer smiled and looked over at Seth who turned his head to the side to look at Summer and raised an eye brow. He saw the big smile on Summer's face and looked in the review mirror, his eyes widened, seeing what Summer had seen.

Seth stopped the jeep in front of Summer's house "Wow, this is your house Summer?" Harry asked in amazement "Yeah, I live here and Seth and Ryan have one that's just like this." Summer told him as she got out. "Well, it was nice meeting you London. Welcome to The O.C. Bye Cohen, Chino and London." Summer said as she blew Seth a kiss and winked at both Harry and Ryan and walked to her front door and waved as she walked in "Okay guys, what was that all about? She winked at Ryan and me and she called me London, it's like when she calls Ryan Chino." Harry gave Ryan and Seth a confused lookas Ryan moved to the front seat. "That's just Summer for you. She calls all of her friends either by their last name or where their from. She calls my ex-girlfriend, Marissa, Coop. Marissa's last name is Cooper." Ryan explained to Harry "Okay, that's different. That's kind of how it was back at my old school. There was this guy, Draco Malfoy. He was my rival, we never got along. I think he still hated me for rejecting his hand in friendship, when we met 7 years ago. I just thought he was a stuck up snob, like my Cousin Dudley. Anyways, ever since I turned him down, we have both called each other by our last names. So, yeah." Harry told them as Seth drove out of The Robert's drive way.

They arrived at The Cohen house and got out of the jeep. "Oh, I almost forgot to tell you Harry, Ryan lives here. Well, not in the house with us, he lives in my parents pool house." Seth told Harry, Harry looked at Ryan "Huh, so, Ryan if you don't mind me asking, where are your parents? Do they live here too?" Harry asked as he got out of the jeep. Seth and Ryan looked at each other "No, they don't. About 2 years ago, I got arrested along with my brother for stealing a car. Seth's dad was my attorney, so he was able to get me out. I was let out, I went home. My mom kicked me out. Seth's mom and dad took me in, but they wouldn't keep me cause I had a mother and she was my guardian. Anyways, Mr.Cohen took me home, as I opened the front door and went inside, alls there was, was a note. My mom had abandoned me. She was found, but she didn't think she was a fit enough mother, so she left me with Seth and his family." Ryan admitted to Harry. Harry gave him a sad smile. "What about your father?" He asked as they made it to the front door. "As far as I know, he is still in jail." Ryan told him as they walked inside "I'm sorry." Ryan looked down at Harry, considering Harry was shorter than him. "It's not your fault. Besides, I like where I live." Ryan told him as the three of them went into the kitchen where they met up with Seth's parents. "Hi, mom and dad. This is Harry Potter. He is from The U.K, a transfer student." Seth told them, Seth's mom and dad both shook Harry's hand. "Hi, Harry, I'm Kirsten and this is my husband Sandy. Welcome." Kirsten introduced themselves. "It's nice to meet you both." Harry said to them."Well, we love meeting Seth and Ryan's new friends. So, Harry how do you like Harbor High?" Sandy asked as he sipped his coffee "It's nice, it's big." Harry admitted "That is true. Just be careful of what you say around Newport. This place is a gossip town. I'm sure Seth has told you." Sandy said as he looked over at Seth who nodded "Yes, I told Harry what people are like down here." Seth told him, they were silent until Kirsten decided to speak up. "So, Harry, where did you live?" Harry looked down "Well, at the moment I live in a motel." Harry answered as he looked down at The Cohen's clean floor "Maybe we could find somewhere for you and your parents to live. A house to live in, it would be nicer than a motel room." Kirsten suggested noticing Harry still looking down at the floor, then looked at Ryan, who was standing on Harry's other side, spoke up "Um, Harry doesn't have any parents, they were both killed when Harry was a baby." Ryan whispered as he looked over at Harry who looked up at him "Oh, I'm so sorry, Harry, we had no idea." Kirsten panicked, "It's okay. Really, I've grown up without them, it's hard but I deal." Harry told them, Sandy looked at Harry "Harry, if you don't mind me asking, how did your parents die." Sandy asked as Kirsten led Harry over to the table to sit down "They were....in a car crash. They died right away." Harry told them, trying to not reveal that he's a wizard "A car crash? But Harry, you told Ryan and me that they a man killed them?" Seth asked confusingly "Yeah, that's right. Look, I know I just met all of you and you are probably dying...to know more. But for now can we please talk about something else?" Harry pleaded "Of coarse, honey." Kirsten smiled at Harry, who smiled at Harry in return.

Seth and Ryan both led Harry to the pool house. "Seth, I love your house. I've never seen anything like it." Harry said excitedly "Why thank you, Harry. I'll be sure to tell my parents." Seth told Harry as the walked into the pool house and they all sat on Ryan's bed. "This is a nice room, Ryan." Harry commented as he laid back on his elbows. Ryan smiled "So, Harry, you play guitar?" Harry nodded as he looked at Ryan "Play us something." Seth said as sat in a chair across from them. "Okay." Harry got out his guitar and thought of a song to play and sing. He put his finger on his chin and "I know what to play. It's called So Far away. It's originally done by Staind. So, here I go."

this is my life
its not what it was before
all these feelings i've shared
and these are my dreams
that i'd never lived before
somebody shake me
cuz i
i must be sleeping

Harry moved to stand up as it was getting hard on his neck cause of the position that he was in.

now that we're here,
it's so far away
all the struggle we thought was in vain
all in the mistakes,
one life contained
they all finally start to go away
now that we're here its so far away
and i feel like i can face the day i can forgive
and i'm not ashambed to be the person that i am today

Harry looked over at Seth who was bouncing his head, then looked at Ryan who just looked at him with this look on his face that Harry just couldn't put a mark on to why Ryan just gave him that what looked like a lustful look.

these are my words
that i've never said before
i think i'm doing okay
and this is the smile
that i've never shown before

somebody shake me cuz i
i must be sleeping

Harry shut his eyes and kept on singing and playing.

i'm so afraid of waking
please don't shake me
afraid of waking
please don't shake me

Harry stopped playing and looked over at Ryan and Seth. Seth clapped first, noticed that Ryan hadn't yet and elbowed Ryan in his side. Ryan looked at Seth and realized that Harry had finished and clapped. Harry bowed jokingly and went to sit between Seth and Ryan and put his guitar away in it's zip up case. "So...What do you guys think?" Harry asked as he looked back and forth at Ryan and Seth "Well, I thought you were good. Ryan what did you think?" Seth asked as Harry turned his head to look at Ryan "You were good. Did you teach yourself?" Ryan asked as he fideled with the hem of his shirt "No, I went had lessons, someone else taught me." Harry told him as he looked around the room. "So, Harry, did you see any girls at school that you are interested in?"Seth asked hoping Harry wouldn't choose Summer "Hmm, not really. I mean they all seemed kind of stuck up. But they all were in there own little world. Summer's nice, but I don't think I would ever date her, since she is your girlfriend. But I didn't really find any girl that I was attracted to. I know that they kept looking at me like I was a fresh piece of meat that they wanted to shag. But no. Which is weird." Harry admitted as he just went over what he said "Now that I think of what I just said, I find it highly disturbing. I can't believe I just said a piece of meat to shag, I should of said ravidge, it would have sounded better." Harry blushed he looked at Seth who started going through a comic book. Then turned his head towards Ryan "Hi." Harry smiled "Hi." Ryan answered back "How are you?" Harry asked as he looked into those deep-blue eyes "I'm fine and yourself." Ryan asked as he laid down on his bed "I'm great." Seth closed the comic book "Hey guys, I'm just going to go back to the house to get a few more comic books. I'll be back." Harry and Ryan nodded, Harry looked at Ryan who had shut his eyes closed "So...do you have any brothers or sister?" Harry asked as he moved a bit more up the bed, slipping off his shoes and sat closer to Ryan's legs "I have one brother, Trey. You?" Ryan asked as he put his hands behind his head. "No, wait I said back at school that I was an only child. My parents died before they could have anymore children." Harry reminded him, Ryan opened one blue eye "Right, sorry." Harry looked down at him "Are you alright?" Harry asked in a low voice, Ryan looked up "I'm fine, really, I am." Ryan answered, Harry looked around the room "Do you want me to leave?" Harry asked as he looked back at the blue-eyed boy. "No, you can stay if you'd like" Harry nodded as Ryan shut his eyes again "So, Ryan, is it true, what people say about you?" Ryan opened his eyes and looked at Harry "What have people been saying about me?" He asked ask he sat up "That your a, oh what did I call Draco Malfoy back at home, oh that's right, a bad boy. So, is it true?" Harry asked as he put his hands on the bed, Ryan looked at Harry's hands "I guess in a way you could call me that." Harry gave him a confused look "My background, history. Where I'm from, that is probably why they called me that. I used to pick fights with a lot of people and get in trouble for it. That's one of the reason why I've been to jail. Plus I used to smoke and party a lot as well. And I lost my virginity when I was really young. Try 12 years old." Harry stared at him with wide eyes "Wow, that's young. Your past doesn't bother me, Ryan. Where you come from. It's who you are. I mean I don't have the perfect life either. My parents are dead, I lived with my Aunt, Uncle and Cousin, who all hate me. I have this scar on my forehead, I hate it. I also lost my Godfather. Everyone I love seems to die around me. That is also one of the reason's why I decided to come out here. As time goes by I'll tell you more about me, who I really am. I just can't right now." Harry told him as Seth came through the door. "Hey guys, did you both have fun without me here?" Seth raised a brow "Oh, yeah, Seth, we had a blast. Didn't we Ryan?" Ryan smiled "Sure. Harry, was just telling me a bit about himself is all." Ryan told him as he stood up to stretch his legs, then sat back down as Seth sat in a chair across from them nearly sitting on Harry's lap. Seth noticed this and swore he saw them both blushing 'Oh, my God, was Summer right?' Seth thought to himself as Ryan sat right beside Harry, thighs touching each others. "Sorry." Harry bit his lip "Don't worry about it." Seth looked from Harry to Ryan, smiled "So, Harry, we are all guys in this room, you probably know, Ryan, here is not a virgin. I have been with three different girls, but had sex with one, Summer that is, so I'm not a virgin of course. So, that leaves you. You said you had a girlfriend, but you two broke up. So, are you a virgin." Seth grinned, Harry looked from Seth to Ryan and blushed "Unfortunately, I am." Harry said in a soft whisper, looking down. "I have never done anything other than kissing with a girl." Harry said as Seth started laughing. Harry shut his eyes and laid on his back with his arm over his eyes. He kept hearing Seth laugh, he rolled his eyes and reached for a pillow and chucked it at Seth "Hey" Seth nearly shouted "Well, that is what you get for laughing at me. I mean sure I haven't had sex with a girl yet, but it doesn't mean it will never happen. I'm just waiting for the right person." Harry said as he poked Ryan in the back. Ryan turned around and raised a brown "Sorry." Harry blushed, they didn't even realize the door had opened "And I know just who you can loose your virginity to." said Summer as all three of them looked at her.

A/N: Well I think that is it for now. I hope that makes sense. I'll do another chapter tonight. And I am sorry if this chapter is a little to short. I was trying to think of what to type and it's not as easy as I thought it would be.

The song at the beginning is 'California' The O.C theme. And the song that Harry sang is 'So far away' by Staind.
