Harry jerked awake as he heard loud banging. Fire escape, his mind supplied. It resided right beside his bedroom, even squirrels woke him up. But he had also just take a sleeping draught, so it must have been louder and bigger than a squirrel. He blearily rubbed his eyes, wondering why Severus, in all his paranoia hadn't woken up as well. Normally an odd sound like that would have sent him running.

He sat up in bed, shivering as the cool night air hit his bare chest. One peek at the clock told him it was well past midnight. And another loud clunk on the roof, told him whatever was on the fire escape was now on the roof.

Harry padded across the hardwood floor and pushed open the window and peered out into the night sky. Carefully, he hoisted himself out onto the legde and shimmied over to the fire escape. The metal was cold beneath his bare feet. He climbed the ladder slowly, hoping to sneak up behind the person or thing on the apartment roof.

"Hello?" he called hesitantly, as he reached the roof.

Kyle, busy in his daze, barely heard Harry's voice coming through in his conciousness. Turning to see him, he looked startled though didn't move, and gave a tiny smile. He did well with strangers, for Kyle hadn't developed what most humans called "fear". However, he had come to understand a fear and embarrassment for getting hard in public, but that was for another time.

"Hi." He said, eye turning back to the sky. Kyle just wanted to look at the stars with longing and enjoy the silence, but if this was another chance to meet a new person who might be able to help him get home, he'd deal with it.

Harry scratched the back of his head uncertainly. He was not awake enough for this.

"Erm..." he began, crossing the roof in a few steps. He stopped right beside the other boy. "Why are you on our roof?"

Way to play it cool, Potter, a voice that sounded suspiciously like Draco's resounded in his head.

Kyle looked at Harry in a confused way. "Our?" He asked, not understanding at all. You see, unlike Harry who had been born roughtly twenty years ago and grew up from a baby to his young adult form, Kyle had been discovered naked in the middle of a city with not history attached to himself what so ever and had only bee "alive" for a few months. This made it particularly difficult for him to understand things that people said and did, for he hadn't grown accustomed to it nor had he learned about it. Kyle was still adjusting to having found himself in another new place, first it was New Jersey and now it was Canada.

"I live in this apartment with my...friend," he answered, sitting down slowly. It didn't look like the boy was some sort of psyco killer person and he really hadn't done much more than seem a little dim. But who was Harry to judge in that department. Plus the other boy seemed perfectly friendly.
