Everybody's Changing <3
Stepping out of the darkness, Harry shook his head. He still prefered flying on his broomstick to the sensation of apparation.
Looking around, Harry took in his surrounding. He was in a normal street, with normal houses, nothing really unusual about it.....at all. Harry had expected something a little more, something to show how special the place was. There wasn't. But, Harry thought, thinking back, the only completely magical street in Britian is Hogsmeade. Everywhere else, witches and wizards must hide their true selves.
The only lights on came from the street lamps, everyone was asleep. Harry walked down the street with a set face. Nothing was going to stop him from where he was going. A few blocks up the street, the hairs on the back of Harry's neck stood up. Someone was watching him. He glanced around, but saw noone. But lately Harry had learned not to trust his eyes. Whatever was watching him had no wish to show its self, for now.
He kept walking looking for the remains of his once beloved home, his sanctuary. Then, suddenly, he found it. Nothing could have bepaired him for the shock of it all. There was no ruins. No nothing. Just a big, empty lot. There was a big patch of ground where the grass didn't grow. Harry figured that after the killing curse hit it, the grass no longer grew there.
Harry was slightly disappointed, he had hoped to find Dumbledore's other letter there. But there was nowherre to hide it. The lot didn't even contain any trees.
Sighing, Harry turned away from where his house should have been and slowly walked away. A slight breeze blew on his back and Harry turned his head. seeing nothing, he turned away from the only home he ever had, but would never remember.

Harry walked down the street, block after block, not really looking where he was going. Looking to the right, he saw a graveyard. Turning to it, he decided to look for the graves of his beloved parents.
He looked and looked, but couldn't seem to find them. Like the houses on the street, all the gravestones where the same shape, size, color. Only the names made the difference between one stone to the next. Then he saw it. He was stunned that he didn't see it earlier, It was such a beautiful white gravestone, unlike the other dark gray stones. It was under a massive oak tree, alone except for the dark gravestone next to it. Harry walked over to the stone, already knowing that it was his mother's. It seemed to glow a little brighter when he touched it. Harry then turned to his father's grave, and saddened a bit when he realized that there was nothing special about his father's grave, it was like all the others.
Sitting under the oak tree, he realazed with his parents for the first time.closing his eyes, he slowly drifted off to dreamland.
He never got there. Just before falling asleep, he senced someone watching him. There was no breeze, no russle of branches. Nothing. But he knew there was someone there.Slighly opening his eyes, Harry saw a shadow on the other side of the graveyard. He couldn't tell who it was, or even if it was human. But when Harry blinked, it was gone. He swong his head back and forth, but saw nothing.
Cursing himself for blinking, Harry fell into a light sleep.
