Harry ducked around the corner and watched as Ron rushed past looking for the messy black hair he had been sure he'd just seen. Harry sighed and rubbed his face tiredly. He loved his friends, but it was exhausting him having to keep track of so many lies. He leaned on the wall, his throat tightening as he remembered the last night he had spent with Cadence.
"Why do I have to lie?" Harry asked, sitting on the bed, "why cant people just know that I am me,"
Cadence swallowed hard and kneeled in front of the skinny boy.
"Harry," he said, his voice thick with emotion, "I just want to protect you,"
"I know, but,"
"Harry," cadence cut off taking a hold of Harry's hands "I want you to have a normal life okay? I want you to be able to be a kid, it's not fair but a lot of people are going to be your friend only because of your fame. They will take advantage of you Harry. I don't want you to be taken advantage of. I don't want you hurt like that, so just need to do this for me okay?"
"Okay," Harry looked down at his lap and nodded his fate into existence.
"Tell me again, Harry," Cadence said, holding Harry's hand tightly and trying to think of a way to keep Harry at home.
"I've told you a hundred times," Harry complained.
"Harry," Cadence said softly "please,"
"My name is Caleb Scamander. My father's name is Theseus Jr. My mother's name is Laura. I was born on August twentieth in 1980. My brother is Cadence Scamander. He is nineteen years old. He works at," Harry trailed off and Cadence swallowed hard.
"Lumos Lineup" he said softly.
"Lumos Lineup as a charms assistant," Harry continued, "Our parents died when I was four when a muggle shooting occurred at the movie theater we were visiting. We moved in with a distant aunt. Cadence went to school a few months later. When he turned seventeen he moved in with our great uncle Newt as an apprentice to learn how to take care of animals. I moved in with them a few months ago when our aunt got very ill. I am eleven years old. I am starting Hogwarts this year."
Cadence nodded and patted Harry's shoulder. He stood up and began walking to the door.
"Cadence?" Harry asked "what if I get caught? I mean what if someone finds out. Will I get in trouble?"
Cadence stopped and looked back into the electric green eyes and swallowed hard.
"You won't get caught."
