Summery: What if the abuse from his Cousin, Aunt, and Uncle changed Harry in a way no one had thought it would. What if Harry all but left the Dursleys and found himself a new family with a gang? What if his new life forced him to learn to control his outbursts of magic? And what would happen when that letter from Hogwarts came?

Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter, and the idea of Harry in a gang came from the song on youtube 'Harry Potter In The Hood'.

Author's Note: Just a short note, but the title for this fic may or may not change as I'm still not sure if I like it. Also more info forthcoming about Harry's past in future chapters.

Today really was just one of those days when he didn't want to do anymore then he had to. Really none of them wanted to do more then they had to today truth be told it probably had something to do with the fast approaching school year, but none of them were going to bring it up. Ever since he had joined his new family Harry had quickly figured out that they were like him and that like him school just wasn't the place for them. Still they all had to go for one reason or another, though he could honestly say that none of them really paid any more attention to the shit that the teachers spouted then it took to pass none of them cared. They all had their own reasons, but they all shared one big reason, no one cared about them so why should they care about anyone else. Those people hadn't cared about Harry or any of his 'Family' before now so why did they care now just because they were in their class? They didn't that was how.

Right now though the group was spending one of their last peaceful nights sitting around and drinking trying to forget the coming year and the unpleasantness that school always brought with it. Harry himself grinned as he twisted the glass bottle in his small hands grinning at the way the light played off both the bottle and the pink liquid within it. It was a wine cooler of some sort, he didn't know or really care what kind it was. Truth be told he was just glad to be with his family and glad for the slight lessening of that pang in his chest. Sure they still had their time during school after all they all lived here, but they didn't get to see each other as much and none of them really liked that.

Their 'party' was broken up by the sound of foot steeps coming down the pipe that led to their home which was in reality just a part of the sewers that had been forgotten some years ago when they had all been redone. Harry was the closest so after a look from Twitch the eleven year old was on his feet and making his way towards the noise. He knew this place like no one outside his family could so it was easy enough to keep to the shadows as he made his way towards the rather large form that he could see making its way down the entrance towards him. Once he was close enough to make out the form as being a rather large male who dressed worse then he did he steeped from the shadows directly into the giant of a man's path calmly meeting his gaze as he offered him a "What are you doing here?" his normal hyperness gone in the face of protecting his family and home from this man who ever he was if it came to that.

Rubeus came to a sudden stop at the small form that was suddenly in front of him. He glanced the form over quickly deciding it was a young boy and was about to ask what the boy was doing here when he caught sight of the boy's eyes and that scar. " 'Arry?" he couldn't help the surprise and happiness in his tone not that he would have tried or even thought too, but the look that suddenly came over the boy made him wonder what he had done wrong.

Harry's eyes widened this man knew him? This hulking giant of a man knew /him/. No that wasn't possible he would remember meeting a person like this he knew he would. If he didn't know him though how had he taken just one look at him and known him? He couldn't help but to back away from the other male as a realization hit him: the Duserlys must have sent him. At that the panic really and truly set in, why would they send anyone after him? They didn't want him and didn't need him. He had a few more days before he had to make an appearance because of school so why would they send someone after him?

Once the panic set in it was time for Harry to go. The boy slumped again the wall seemingly having fainted, but before the giant's hand could touch him Harry was once more standing tall. His gaze was harsh as he met the giant's and his hair had grown the mess that had before been to his chin was now as long as his shoulder blades. "I don't know who you are or why you are here, but you will leave now. I don't know who told you about Harry, but you will forget about him and never come back here or I will make you sorry." The boy's voice was suddenly beyond cold.

The sound of steeps behind the eleven year old cause him to turn his head just enough to catch sight of Cheetah coming into view behind him. The older boy paused a little bit away from him turning his blue gaze from the giant of a man to him raising an eyebrow and offering him a "Magic?" in a questioning tone.

'Magic' nodded towards the large man "He knew Harry's name and Harry started to panic." The green eyed boy replied earning him a nod from the blue eyed one even as he returned his attention to Rubeus.

For his part Rubeus Hagrid was well beyond confused at the least. He knew this was Harry it had to be, but the second he said the boy's name he had fainted. He had only been out a couple seconds, but when he came to again he was suddenly so cold and his hair was longer. Now there was another boy and what did he mean by 'Magic'? The grounds keeper didn't know what was going on here, but he could get Harry to explain later right now he needed to help Harry get his books like Dumbledore asked him too. "I don' know wha your talking about, but I need ta take Harry now…" the half giant's eyes widened as he suddenly had two guns pointed at him one by the blue eyed boy who had come up and one by Harry.

'Harry' gave the man a hard look as he aimed the gun that had gone from the small of his back under his shirt to aimed in the time it took to blink. After a long moment of studying the large man the green eyed boy finally spoke "I don't know who you are or how you know Harry, but I won't let you anywhere near him." He informed the man coldly.

"But you're 'Arry.." Rubeus tried to protest only to be cut off by hammer being cocked on both the guns pointed at him.

"My name is Magic and Harry isn't here right now."
