The Truth About Love

Chapter 2

Harry awoke with a start as the walls to his room started to shake around him, Dudley must be awake thought the brunet as he rubbed the sleep out of his eyes and stumbled off the bed. His head crouched down as he crawled towards his glasses that had fallen in the wake of the Dudley tornado. The Dursley's had placed him back in the cupboard after his cheeky stunt at dinner, the pounding in his head grew as Aunt Petunia's screech beckoned him out of the cupboard and into the kitchen. Today was Wednesday meaning that Harry had the house to himself after he finished all his chores. The door opened with a bang and Uncle Vernon's voice boomed through the hall as he beckoned Harry over. " Boy get your worthless self in here, today I have some very important business to attend to so you must spend the day outside. Do not come near this house until Dudley beats you up and drags your boneless, limp body back here. You understand freak?"

"Yes Uncle Vernon. I'll spend the day away and let Dudley drag me back home for my daily beating." Harry flinched under his uncle's purple busted face, his mouth shouting out words that Harry could not comprehend. Soon he was shoved out of the house and the door slammed behind him, without a second glance back, Harry ran from the cruel street and towards the town park. The world fell away as he crashed into a head of platinum blond hair and immediately recognized the mask to be Javier, as he was known to be. Harry's breath came out in pants as he tried to gather himself together enough to greet his only friend, his blotchy face gave away his obvious discomfort at falling. Harry uneasily jumped up only to come face to face with his friend's judging and calculating gaze burning into his eyes.

" When will you tell me what those horrible muggle- I mean horrible uncle's house of yours" Javier wittily commented.

" Well the answer is very simple, the day you tell me who you really are"

"But it is not like I know who you are Mr.Dursley"

"Please don't, being associated with him is torturous enough, let alone being related to him"

"Well you wouldn't believe me, we don't even attend the same boarding school"

" Oh I heard your slip up, you must be a wizard or a witch considering polyjuice potions are quite common nowadays"

" So you are familiar with the Wizarding World, might I guess you are a wizard or witch"

" Of course I am, why else would I note your obvious mistake?"

" Mmm so what school should I attack to figure out your secret identity?"

" Well my dear Javier that would be Hogwarts, but I highly doubt your attack would be successful."

" Oh Hadrian I must thank you, for I go to your school and now I can owl you AND FIGURE OUT WHO YOU ARE"

" Oh well I guess I must block my owl post, but okay fine track me down if you must"
