Drabble Contest #2 – Dumbledore's thoughts after Harry leaves…

Target Practice – By RowCole - Rating PG

'…Harry - Young Harry - sooo much, too much to impart in one sitting - too much for him to comprehend.

Sadness and tragedy. Voldemort. Dursley's, Sirius all raging inside his head – anger, misery, and all alone. "Home" again at the Dursley's with all the detrius churning like a whirlpool round and round.

 No wonder you snapped, so much anger all aimed at the person who deserved it ….use me as your target, Aim it all at me, blame me for your lot and move towards what your destiny requires.

Can he channel it… mend himself even if he can't forgive me? Will Harry heal and be the means to the end that we all need?

Will he emerge intact or will my miserly efforts to help be his demise?!!!?

Dig deep Harry. Do not surrender, the pain will ease...'
