Harry Potter: A Different Tale

It was day time in an abandoned warehouse, Ryan was sat, passing the time by bouncing a toy ball off a wall repeatedly. Violet was counting all the money they had, whilst Red was swinging around using all the dangling chains. He would swing as high as he could using one chain, then let go mid-air and grab another one then repeat. Harry had just finished doing Rose's shoelaces on the pretty new shoes he had brought her.

"Thank you Harry!" She smiled as she began running around in her new shoes, she knew they'd get dirty again, they did live in the streets after all, but she still loved them.

"You're welcome flower" Harry smiled at the cheery girl

"Harry" Violet walked up to Harry whilst holding a small piece of paper "this is how much we got at the moment"

"How much is it?" Red dropped down next to them, Harry showed him the number on the paper and Red whistled in appreciation

"You know, I expected better security from a bank" Harry commented "you sure this is the right amount Violet?"

"I triple checked it, why do you think I took so long?" Violet replied

"Alright, alright" Harry said "I'd better take it all to Gringotts" Harry said as he shrunk the bags of money they had stolen, and put it in his pocket "I'll be back in five minutes" Harry said before popping away to the American Gringotts division

"Why don't we just buy a house with all that money?" Red sighed

"You mean other than the fact that we're not even old enough to drink" Ryan said as he stood up, the bouncing ball no longer held his interest, he walked over to the group

"Plus there's a lot of paperwork" Violet added "and frankly, I'd rather be poor and live here than be one of those mindless drones we see, passing paperwork and dealing with money then going sleep"

"I'd never give up this life" Red said "we're poor yeah, but we're free, free to do whatever we want. No parents, no rules, just do whatever we want"

"We have rules" Rose frowned

"She's right" Violet agreed "Harry set those rules"

"And seeing as he's the sole reason we're all alive, we'd better follow them" Ryan said.

Harry arrived a few minutes later, holding two extra large pizza boxes and a bag full of fizzy drink cans.

"Sorry I'm late" Harry apologised "just went out to get food"

"Oh, pizza, again" Violet smiled as she took the boxes from Harry's hand and Ryan took the bag of drinks

"Found some clean cardboard" Rose said as she brought some flattened boxes over and placed them all on the floor for them to sit on, everyone sat down and began digging into their food

"Harry" Rose spoke while they were eating "you know those goblins at the bank?"

"Yeah?" Harry asked after taking a bite of pizza

"Do you think they eat pizza as well?" Rose asked curiously

"They're carnivores" Harry said "that means they only eat meat, chicken fish, basically anything that could be counted as an animal"

"Do you think we could have a goblin as a pet?" Rose asked

"Not without starting another goblin war" Harry replied "pass the ketchup" He said

"Here" Red tossed him a ketchup packet

"Thanks"

"You're welcome" Red replied "so...are we doing anything today?"

"Yes, we are" Harry replied

"Well?" Red said excitably

"Calm down Red, you're going to wet yourself" Ryan said, ignoring the glare that Red was sending him

"It turns out" Harry continued speaking before the a fight could start "that Jason Adams has escaped police custody"

"Isn't he that drug lord?" Rose asked

"Drug lord number ten if I remember correctly" Ryan said

"There are ten drug lords?" Violet asked

"Well, there are if we count the dead ones" Ryan replied "good job on that by the way" He added to Red and Harry

"Anyway" Harry spoke "we've warned him to stay out of our territory and..."

"He hasn't listened" Red finished "so, what's the plan?"

"We're going to find one of his men and make him talk" Harry replied "who's in?"

"Me!" Red said immediately

"Anyone else?" An amused Harry rolled his eyes

"Me too" Violet said

"Ryan?" Harry asked

"I'll pass this time, potions run out" Ryan replied "besides, I'll keep Rose company"

"Okay" Harry nodded.
