Harry Potter: When Everyone Gets What They Wish For

Roy Owen, the youngest son of the Owens who had just moved in next door to the Dursleys, knocked his cousin flat with a single punch right in front of Harry Potter. The boy, sucking on a star-shaped lollipop, smiled and said in a baffled tone, "I really don't get why he was so stubborn about it. I mean, sidewalks are for walking on. If he says I can't pass, does he expect me to go around?" Roy Owen was always smiling, and seemed good-natured and refined. Outsiders would say he was "shy, quiet, and well-behaved," but Harry knew his smile didn't mean he was in a good mood, and that when it came to beating people up, he was ten times more vicious than Dudley. Roy Owen was always eager to help, sparing no effort. Outsiders would say he was "gentle and friendly, with a kind heart," but Harry knew he had no such thing as a conscience. When helping someone, he didn't even care whether his methods met society's standards of morality. Roy Owen always put his family first. He was happy to cook, clean, run errands, and iron their clothes. Outsiders would say he was "thoughtful and sensible," but Harry knew he was a hopeless family fanatic, practically a model House-elf. Roy Owen never lied. He had a reckless way of doing things, liked collecting mugs and glass bottles, kept a pet that looked like a cat but definitely wasn't one, and hid dangerous objects on his person and under his pillow. "You think I'm weird? The people around me are way weirder than I am, and that includes you. I bet not everyone is born having to deal with a Dark Lord, and having to fight one every year... Actually, calling you a freak isn't quite right. You're just unluckier than everyone else." The boy was still smiling as he said it. Roy Owen, Harry Potter's neighbor and childhood friend, always managed to hit the nail on the head while unknowingly kicking someone when they were down. + Notes + ◎ The first song on the recommended playlist is "FLOWING TIME" ◎ Some parts of this story are set in an alternate universe, but I've tried to stay close to the original ◎ Updates are irregular ◎ Thanks to everyone who stops by to read + More + ◎ Another Harry Potter fanfic, updated irregularly.
