Hero: Chapter Two: Home and Town

A/N: Sorry for the hiatus. Life, it happens. For my dark wanderer, numbered 86.

"Feel it coming in the air" – Rihanna, Run This Town

Ginny's heart pounded in her chest. It wasn't possible. It simply wasn't. She was in a far, remote town, not even in Britain. Not even in the United Kingdom. It wasn't possible that-

"RONALD BILIUS WEASLEY!" Hermione roared.

Oh dear. It was possible.

David grinned. This was the most fun he had ever had. He had had friends who were boys (and girls) but they always seemed to not like him anymore for some reason at some point in time. These guys though…this seemed real.

"Will!" shrieked Lizzie. She had a very fun shriek. David didn't know the word, but she was very… her laugh made him smile.

Will was still destroying her wall. "Take that, red blocks! Shablam!"

The red block levitated in the air.

David gasped. This had happened before with him and another boy. The boy ran away and David had lost another friend.

Will laughed. "Is that you, Lizzie? Or me?"

Lizzie frowned. "Mum says we're not supposed to…" she started.

David got up quickly. "I'm, er…sorry?" he stammered.

Will laughed again. It was a great sound. "Oh see, its okay, he's not a Muggle."

Lizzie's face didn't change. "You don't know that for sure. And Mum said…"

Will got up as well and grinned at David. "You're not a Muggle, are you?"

David had no idea what a Muggle was. But he had certainly heard Mum say it under her breath sometimes, so it must be a bad thing. He was definitely not a bad thing. "Nope," he said confidently.

Lizzie relaxed. "Oh, okay then." She smiled prettily at him and handed him the blocks. "Will you be on my team then?" she asked in a sweet voice.

David was overcome with emotion. He felt like the situation had just popped like a balloon and now his worries were gone. He still had friends.

"Are you my friends?" he asked.

"Yes," said Will strongly and he grabbed David's hands and shook them heartily. "Yes."
