Saved by the Black Parade Frontman

"Freak! Where are you, you albino shit?" Harley shivered in fear as she slipped up the stairs to the Astronomy Tower, she'd finally had enough and wondered what would happen to Harry's false reputation as a caring brother if she committed suicide. She pushed her white hair out of her face as she stepped onto the parapet edging of the Tower and leaned over with her hands on the railing. She began to fall forwards off the Tower when she was pulled back onto the Tower's floor.

Harley looked at the black gloved hand around her wrist, then looked up to see a pair of concerned hazel eyes framed by short white hair "you okay?" He said, a flawless New Jersey accent was heard in his concerned tones "why? I wanted to die" Harley began to sob "it's not your time. You're too young to march with us" he cryptically said, Harley was confused "who are you?" She asked, shivering in her thin school cardigan. Her saviour pulled his jacket off and wrapped it around her to keep her warm "Gerard, it's alright. I'm not gonna hurt you, you've been through enough hurt to last a lifetime because of that bastard who's your brother" he reassured her, taking her hands in his leather clad ones and rubbing them together to get some warmth back into the fifteen year old's ice cold hands.





Harley recalled Professor Binns talking about a group of students who had died during the first war that had gone on to become a strange Parade that appeared to those who were damaged, beaten, broken and damned "you're part of them, aren't you?" Gerard's black lined hazel eyes met Harley's beautiful emerald greens "part of The Black Parade?" He nodded "I lead them, Harley. Yet, I used to be a normal former Gryffindor before I died in the first war protecting my now widowed wife and daughter" he explained.

"How?" Gerard looked saddened "the last thing I remember was my cousin casting the Killing curse at Lindsey and Bandit. Matt had sided with Snakeface and turned on myself and my younger brother, Mikey. Mikey was only seventeen when he died, three of our friends also died that day as well" he shook his head in grief "they're with you, though. I read about what happened to Matt Pleisser in History, he was sentenced to life imprisonment in Azkaban for nine murders" Gerard nodded "five of those was myself, my brother, my best friend Ray, Mikey's best friend Frank and another friend of ours, Bob. Frank was only sixteen, he was still a kid" Gerard said softly, looking at the younger Potter twin.

"ALBINO FREAK!" Harley clung to Gerard in fear "c'mon, I'll take you to The Parade" he said, helping Harley to her feet and putting his jacket on her properly as he pulled her through a wall as if it was just mist before her brother found her to abuse her even more...
