NOVEL WEB Chapter 8: Diagon alley
The next day, Henry woke up. He again began walking towards the direction that Mr vole told him. The direction the house from which a servant will send him to diagon alley where he can work or pick garabge like he did all this time. His eyes are devoid of any feelings. He just walked like a robot through the path.
He arrived at a wooden house and a servant greeted him. He has a cold look on his face and said," These are 20 galleons that master vole asked me to give you. It's more than enough for you to live in diagon alley. In addition, hogwarts has a student welfare act, you'll receive pay every year for your books and school stuff. Now you can leave better brat ".
He said and handed the bag to Henry who didn't take it and instead said," I don't need it. I'll feed myself somehow ", the servant clicked his tongue and said," Huh, ungrateful bastard. Still has some stupid pride in you huh. Okay I'll give this back to my Lord. Now off you go, stray dog ".
He said and handed Henry a key like thing. He then kicked Henry before exiting the house. Henry looked at the key and after a few minutes it activated and he appeared in diagon alley. His eyes focussed with renewed determination for power and money.
The reason he kept silent even though he has ways to explain is that, he don't want anyone to know his system. He received many things in blind box draw. He didn't say a word until because of Cassandra's words. She called him a stray dog like the servants did and said she should've put him in his place instead of wanting to be friends with him.
She also cursed him many times. Henry is silent because she is the first friend of his in this world and the first girl to get close to him. She comforted him like a mother on their first encounter. For Henry who didn't experience it in two lives it's a touching experience.
But not anymore, her insults and the schemes of house vole shattered his opinion on them. He always believed there are good people in this world and he will meet them. But now he knows there aren't good people. There are oniy people and their choices. The wealthy trample on the poor and the rich disdains the weak and nobodies.
His determination to grow strong intensified. He go to the nearby shops and asked for a job but all of them refused to give him any and even looked at him with disgust. He frowned until a shop owner said," Huh, a thief like you who spit on the kindness of house vole and robbed money from them. You have the gall to ask for a job. Kid, no one will give you anything. Go away ", they kicked him out and every shop owner almost spit on his face. They even scolded him harshly.
As the rain started pouring Henry stood there as he is soaked wet and laughed hysterically. Why did he have to suffer like this? Why does he need to bear the title of theif? Why does he need to be punished for something he didn't do?
His eyes turned cold and the golden sharingan appeared once again. Tears and blood appeared while the tomoe connected and rotated rapidly changing into a nine pointed star pattern, he laughed hysterically and his heart shattered completely.
Just because he is a kid without any background they wanted to do something to him. They made him suffer for no reason, if they said this early he wouldn't even stay in the manor. He would've left early, no he should've left early.
Henry sat on the edge of road and gazed at the city of London. A small girl appeared at this time and asked," What are you doing in rain? If you soak you'll catch cold ", Henry who heard this looked up and saw a little girl his age. Cassandra's picture appeared in his mind as he looked at the girl.
His gaze turned cold and walked away ignoring the girl. He is walking back to his broken shed like house and lay on the torn mattress.
