Hii! I tried to try something else and ended up here. I hope you like it!
A song for the chapter- When you're gone by Avril Lavigne.
A thousand pretty eyes can catch my attention
…..but why does yours….
Catch my breath?
With another day to the end, a brunette of 17 got up. Aiding her side, a redhead, walked with her out of their high school and onto the street. They made their way towards a building with the words- 'Hospital' highlighted.
It wasn't the air or the atmosphere that gave them chills. It was the memories.
The door to a room full of the smell of disinfectants and other chemicals opened to reveal a boy, their age, with dark hair, lying on the bed. Void of Liveliness.
They take a seat beside his bed.
The girl gently pushes his hair back and watches his expression-less face. The boy beside her lays a hand on her shoulder for comfort.
"When is he going to wake up?" She chokes on her words.
"Soon, I hope." He says.
"It's been months, Ronald!" She says.
"Don't worry…I'm sure he wi-" Is all he can say before he watches the boy's finger twitch.
They gasp as they stand up, hunching over him.
"Harry!" The girl calls.
The said boy opens his eyes to reveal emerald. He smiles at them as they embrace him.
"He doesn't tell you about anything?" The brunette, Hermione, asks the therapist.
"No… Especially about him." She says, worry lacing her voice.
"God… It must be difficult… but…" She trails off.
"I would really appreciate him telling me about what caused all this. But he seems to be uncomfortable with that."
"I understand. I'll try to talk to him."
And Hermione heads out the door. Into the room her best friend lay in. She slowly opens the door and heads in , quietly.
"Hi" He says from the bed.
"Hi. Are you okay?" She asks carefully.
"Yeah." He sits up.
"You didn't tell her about him…" She starts.
He looks down. And the meets her eye. "I don't want to talk about it…"
Thoughts were racing in Hermione's head. But she kept calm. Letting herself sink into the memories.
They had found him. Passed out in his apartment. And all the while that took them to get him here, there was a buzzing in their ears.
Uncomfortable. Shocking. And heart-breaking.
And the worst part?
They knew why he was like that.
Due to a certain human. And a hurtful Bet.
Just a bet was all it took. To break a heart. To strangle a soul. And to ruin a life.
Ron had to be kept in control. Ever since he found out.
But this person had made Harry's life a nightmare.
And they couldn't do anything due to a promise made by Harry.
How and Why were the only questions.
As she ran a hand through her hair he looked at her.
"I'll try…" He whispered.
She almost didn't catch it and when she did, she smiled and embraced him.
"Thank you, Harry."
He just nodded. Inside, he broke. There was no going back now. After all that happened.
He didn't want to feel so weak. So dependent on a person to live. But he was.
And that's how it all began.
Like a fairy-tale that ended in disaster.
A prince who turned out to be an enemy.
A friend turned Foe…
See you later! Bye! Thanks for reading and be sure to review! I love to hear your thoughts!
