Harry did not know why he felt so much affection for Cho. He was too busy
worried about what mood she was in or if she was to turn into a human water
fountain. It was he who felt he was to blame for Sirius's death and if only
he had not been pre-occupied with Cho that he could have remembered the
present Sirius gave him. His possessions of what Sirius left him. Only one,
which would be able to be used again and still, keep the memory of Sirius.
Harry could never have predicted what was about to happen in the ministry.
He knew Sirius would never have stayed home if it was he who was in
trouble, like that night. It was he who had led Sirius to the Ministry. His
possessions and memories the only thing left of his godfather. His knife
had melted. His broom was confiscated by Umbridge and still stayed there in
the dungeon. Sirius had risked his life for Harry, and to Harry he was like
a father, one that Harry never had nor knew. Sirius was, as Harry thought,
like a knight. He leapt into the battle, to fight. Some veil in an archway
took his life and Harry knew it was he who would find out what this veil
did and meant. Life was too demanding to understand why his only living
family, even from the bottom of their hearts, would never understand what
Harry was going through. Aunt Petunia didn't show any remorse when his
mother, Lily, was announced dead from being killed by Voldemort.
Even after all this, he couldn't find an explanation to know why Voldemort
chose him. Yes he was half blood. But the Pureblood nation Voldemort
preached so much about, and how much he demanded it, whether the death of
innocent muggles or a cold blooded murder of the Order members, or what
other death he caused, didn't describe why Voldemort didn't just choose
Neville or that other boy born the same year and month as himself. Why not
the pureblood? Why did he choose the half blood like himself, apart from
the fact that Harry shared so much in common with Voldemort, He did not
understand this. Harry pressed his palms to his eyes, until his eyes
produced little white stars. It was then Harry came to a conclusion about
everything.
