My Destiny

Fate,

It is a funny thing,

It likes to play with you,

Like a puppet on a string,

For example,

It could make you live,

In turmoil and suffering for years,

Then suddenly decide to thrust the world on your shoulders.

That's what happened to me,

That's my destiny,

All laid out for me on a silver platter,

All of them just expecting me to accept it willing and without argument.

Because of course no one cares about Harry,

They're all to busy caring about the Boy-Who-Lived.

The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord approaches…

I try not to think about it

I don't want to think about it

Born to those who have thrice defied him, born as the seventh month dies…

About the people who died for me, because of me, for knowing me.

Dumbledore

Sirius

Cedric

Mum

Dad

And the Dark Lord will mark him as his equal, but he must have a power the Dark Lord knows not…

The people who have been hurt or harmed because of me, for knowingme

Ron

Hermione

Ginny

Neville

Luna

Mr Weasley

Bill

Justin

Nick

Penelope

The list keeps going, growing,

I don't want to think about it, so I block it out, block them out, shun them aside…

Just like I do to my friends

And either will die at the hand of the other for neither can live while the other survives…

But they're never far away, my dark side of the mind,

Hovering just on the edge of my consciousness,

A swirling, gloomy cloud, pushing to take yet another grab at my sanity,

But at night they shatter through, haunting me and blaming me with their dead, hollow voices,

And the worst part is,

Is that I know its all true

And that I'm all alone

With my destiny

The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord will be born as the seventh-

But then a light shines through

Shattering through all thought of the prophecy, Sirius, the Horcruxes

Telling me

It's not my fault

It's his.

He ruined the lives of so many souls.

He killed all those innocent victims.

And he's going to pay for it.

For the light reminds me

I'm not alone

Ron

Hermione

Mr and Mrs Weasley

Neville

Luna

Ginny, my dear Ginny

All choose to stay

All choose to fight

All choose not to walk away.

All do care about Harry.

Which is how I know,

This is our fight.

Our Destiny.
