To Err is Human, To Forgive Divine, but Trust Honored Above All
Written by Chibikan
Summary: Many say that when someone wrongs you, you're supposed to forgive them. Well that's all well and good, but is it prudent. Or so Harry ponders when he's abandoned by his friends, blamed for a crime he did not commit and sent to Azkaban. Some wrongs cannot be forgiven so easily. And when trust is broken by those you care about most, you might begin to trust someone that you've always hated before. Especially when you discover that the two of you have more to share.
Prologue:
To my Friends:
Trust is something that once broken is almost impossible to piece back together again. It's not merely some puzzle you pull out of box and put together, following the picture provided. You can't take a tube of super glue and put the pieces back where they belong. It doesn't work that way.
Trust is rarely earned from the beginning. Trust is given you by the people you encounter. But when you break that trust, it is rare that you can acquire it again.
I have received your many letters asking me for forgiveness. Well, that you have, if only because well, only because I don't need that chip on my shoulders. But you will never have my trust again.
How can I trust any of you again, when you never really trusted me.
Signed
Harry Potter
AN: Yes, a new story, and a confusing prologue to set it up. Hope you enjoy.
