[A - Action - Park]
[It's been a few weeks since Harry arrived in town and he's enjoying the idea of having an older brother as well as a family that doesn't keep in him in a cupboard. He has his own bedroom and everything! So today he's out in the park, just realising what it means to be happy.]

[B - Action - 754 Partridge Drive]
Um...Akira? [He was still getting used to having people he can ask for help.] Do you think you could help me with my homework?

[Henry's just finally glad to have someone with a personality as a sibling. The drone sister was getting way to freaky. They just needed a mom and they'd be set.

Henry also has a kite for them to play with! He even has two, and he's handing one of them off to Harry.]

Have you ever used one of these before?

Park!

[scarredglasses]

[Harry shakes his head as he's handed the kite, but he grins. He's seen Dudley with one before but he was never allowed a try.]

No but I've wanted to.

Re: Park!

[theboywiththebook]

[Well Dudley smells. He shouldn't be allowed kites. All of them for Harry.]

All right. It's really easy, you just kind of run with it and let the breeze catch it and it should start flying.

[scarredglasses]

[Harry nodded.] Want to race? [And he started to run.]

[theboywiththebook]

Sure! [Oh, hey! You cheater! Henry will run after him, pulling his kite behind as it begins to pick up off the ground.]

[scarredglasses]

[Harry laughed and pulled the kite, willing it to fly. It would be great to beat Henry's into the sky!]

[theboywiththebook]

[And it's looking like Harry's kite is beating Henry's, because MAN is that a lot of wind Harry's getting for his kite. He must be pretty lucky, and not magical.]

[Well hello there small person who looks just like him. James is biking through on his way to Remus and Lily's, as usual, but rolls to a stop when he spots Harry] Going anywhere in particular? I suggest the swings, they're quite fantastic.

[scarredglasses]

[Harry just nodded. He's still not used to having his parents, his real parents, around. But he's grateful for it.]

Thanks.

[nonmetus]

You're welcome. Lily taught me how to use them. Confusing things, those swings.

[scarredglasses]

But you just sit on them? [It was strange. How come someone not know how to use a swing?]

[nonmetus]

Well, yes, I got that part. It was the whole moving part that I had a spot of trouble with. Kept going round in circles!

[scarredglasses]

Circles?

[infourbooks]

[Neville was just passing through but has to stop when he catches sight of a familiar sight. And then blink. And look again.]

Harry?

[This barely even confuses him any more.]

Park!

[scarredglasses]

Hi. [Having been called out when shopping with Aunt Petunia many times, this doesn't bother him. And she's not even here to tell him off now.]

It's nice to meet you.

Re: Park!

[infourbooks]

You...

[He'd noticed Harry looked young, but he hadn't realized just how young]

We haven't met yet, for you, have we?

[scarredglasses]

No. Sorry, mister.

[He always hated this bit. Everyone knew him but he didn't know them. It was really annoying to be quite honest.]

[infourbooks]

[Running into all these people who should be his parents' age has gotten him rather accustomed to all of this]

It's okay,it happens here sometimes. I'm Neville Longbottom. We'll be going to the same school when you're a bit older.

[scarredglasses]

It's nice to meet you, Neville. Are we good friends?

[bespell]

[Lily's normally pleasant to the drone children, even if it's mostly out of pity than concern. The boy doesn't stand out in the park, but he looks alarmingly familiar.]

You're here on your own?

[scarredglasses]

[Harry turned and look at the woman. The first thing he noticed was her eyes. Then he nodded.]

Well, my "brother" is around somewhere. I'm just exploring.

[bespell]

[It's not a "Yes, ma'am! Oh gee, I shouldn't be talking to strangers!", so she frowns slightly, leaning back on her swing.] That's good, then. You're too young to be on your own, and this town can be dangerous.

[scarredglasses]

So I've heard but I haven't been here long so I guess I wouldn't know.

[bespell]

Well, now you know, I guess. Just be careful when there's no one you know around.

[scarredglasses]

I don't know most people here. But I'd like to. Better than home.
