Hey Guys! BookManiaGirl520 here with you this evening.
I'm starting a new drabble challenge called: well….erm…it hasn't got a name. But It's magnificent! Basically I chose a word for each Harry Potter character and then write a drabble with the word, using the definition of the word. And I must complete it in one year.
So yeah….
Here goes the first one!
Hero: (He-ro) (Noun) 1. A remarkably brave person. 2. Somebody admired. 3. Main character in a fictional plot. 4. Man with superhuman powers.
Harry angrily glanced at the offending Daily Prophet proudly proclaiming the title: WIZARDING HERO GIVEN ORDER OF MERLIN FIRST CLASS. Or the sub title beneath it, of which said: HARRY POTTER—HERO WITH SUPERHUMAN POWERS?
"LIES!" Harry yelled, throwing the paper, across the room, pacing back and forth. Sentences from the article whirled around in his head, and although most of his friends told him not to let his fame bother him, it did. He didn't want to be famous for killing Voldemort. He wasn't a bloody hero for killing him. He—Harry James Potter—just wanted payback for what that man had did to him. The thing that killed him in the end, was the same thing that Harry had: love.
So to put it quite simply Harry James Potter of Number 12 Grimmauld Place did not think of himself as a hero. True the sorting hat had put him in Gryffindor, and you had to be brave to be a hero…but he was not worthy of the title hero.
His parents…Sirius…Remus…Tonks…Fred…Dobby…Dumbledore…Mad-Eye…Neville...Ron...Hermione...the Weasley's... they were all heroes. Harry? Harry simply wasn't a hero at all.
Fin.
A/N: Hey again. Well one done...and a billion more to go. But my promise is that by 7-15-12 I will be done will all of the characters. Anyways please review and the next one will be up tommorrow! :D
