AN: I don't own Harry Potter.

Harry was alone. He ran away from Dudley and his gang and ended up in a forest. He had no clue how to get back or how he would survive. He looked around before--

Whoosh.

The air fled from his lungs as he was tackled from behind. He was felt faint. He looked to his left to see two bodies sprawled over each other in a heap. Looking the other way, he saw bikes. Their bikes must have collided.

One of the bodies moved and pushed the other off. "Damn! We need to check if that boy is okay! I told you we shouldn't go riding off the hill but noooooo! You just had to!" The brown haired boy looked around before his eyes landed on Harry.

He was suddenly in strong arms. He looked up at the boy utterly confused. How'd he get here so fast?

"Are you okay? We're sorry we hit you!" By this time the girl was up and over by them. "We are truly sorry but still...That was awesome! We went flying straight down!"

The boy sighed. "I'm Eddie by the way. We could take you to get healed. We don't live too far." Harry nodded dazed as the girl and boy helped him up.

Their house was beautiful. Three floors and an amazing garden with flowers of many variations. The walls of the room he was in, were a light blue. The floor was white and quite soft.

The girl- Cassy, he reminded himself was feeding him soup. He couldn't remember when he had tasted something so good.

"So where do you live? We could get you home or have them pick you up?" He frowned. He didn't really want to go back and away from the two nice children. They were both his age, nine years old.

(AN: I'm not too sure how old he is when he teleports to the roof so I'm going with nine.)

Funnily enough there weren't any adults. Or any that he had seen.

He was withdrawn from his thoughts from a light poke to his cheek. Cassy was holding out a lollipop.

"You seemed troubled. Is there something wrong at home?" She had eyes that bore into his soul. They were kind but he felt he couldn't lie to those eyes. Her eyes were light gray with hints of purple around the edges.

"My family and I...we don't get along too well." She nodded, a look of understanding in her eyes. "I see. Stay here with us then."

He looked at her shocked. "What?" He stuttered out the word. "Stay with us." She repeated with a soft smile.

"We don't get along with our parents either." He simply nodded. "Let's get you into a room." And thus Harry Potter no longer thought if the Dursley's residence as his home.

"THIS IS WAR!"

"DAMN STRAIGHT!"

"AAAAHHHHHH!"

Harry had decided Monopoly was a vicious game. He had went bankrupt and watched in amusement as Cassy bankrupted Jamie.

He had met Jamie the day after he had moved in. She had been out swimming instead of hiking with Eddie and Cassy. She now had her hands in her brown hair screaming at the unfairness of it all.

Cassy laughed. "Maybe if you hadn't been too busy in jail you would have won!" Eddie joined Cassy laughing. "I've never seen someone spend almost all game in jail!"

Jamie huffed and started to clean up the game.

Yes, Harry liked his new life.

Letters. They had letters. To a school named Hogwarts of all things.

Jamie and Eddie had laughed so hard they fell off the sofa. Cassy simply continued to eat her lollipop.

"We should go!" Harry was excited. Magic was real! He now knew the weird things weren't simply them. It explained why he had jump appeared in the forest.

Cassy had once tied them all to chairs when they were in a heated debate.

"PEPSI!" Eddie screamed out.

"COLA!" Jamie shouted back.

"DR. PEPPER!" Harry couldn't resist not yelling out another soda.

Another time Eddie couldn't get past the chairs used to barricade the library from him. All the chairs then moved to another location. Bewildered but happy, Eddie skip-- sorry, walked with enthusiasm - to the books.

Jamie had accidentally set her room on fire out of anger. As she was panicking the fire was suddenly out.

Coming back to himself from his thoughts, he realized Eddie and Jamie were tied up and Cassy with her lollipop in her mouth as usual, smiled and said they'd write a reply to the school saying the accepted.

4 Knocks.

"Harry can I come in?" Cassy's soft

voice. He gave his acceptance. She walked over and hugged him. Harry broke down.

"My parents weren't drunks...they were murdered. And I'm famous for it." His voice wobbled with emotion.

She held him as he cried until he was done. She wiped his tears away and smiled at him.

"Your parents would be proud of you, Harry. And you'll make them prouder. You'll do great at Hogwarts and we will show the wizarding world that you are much more than just the Boy-Who-Lived. I'll make sure of it."

Harry gave a watery smile and nodded. The gold in his vault was nothing compared to his friends he had.

Surprisingly, Cassy had a vault too. She didn't quite understand why she did and had planned to open one but her father who had died after her fifth birthday had been rich and head of the Ancient and Noble House of Sinclair and made her his heir.

Harry smiled at his friend. He was closer to her than the others. She listened and knew when to not bother and when to interfere. To others she seem shy, reserved, and quiet. While this was true they didn't see past that. They didn't see her. The kind, selfless, and oblivious Cassy.

"Yeah. Let's do it together."

AN: I may make this into a series up until they are grown. Maybe even add more chapters to this. I wrote this at 1 o'clock in the morning out of sheer boredom from insomnia. Thank you for reading! A little edit: My friend told me to look at the reviews and said they got on my phone one day and reviewed and wondered how long it'd take me to notice what they did with my account. Took me 2 months. XD
