A Rose-red Space of Stream I See
Neither can live while the other survives.
He didn't want to be a murderer! He didn't want to kill. Ever! He was a mere human, he didn't have any right to end someone else's life! When they all said they want him to end Voldemort, that's what Harry thought, end Voldemort. End Riddle's persona. Banish him. Still his magic, if possible. Lock him inside an indestructible box until he atone or die naturally. He didn't want to kill! He didn't ever want to kill, he already—
The man standing to guard the place crumbled in pain. The adult just fell onto his knees and his mouth frothed saliva and his eyes glazed. From behind his leg there was a death adder snake slithering towards Harry, nuzzling its nose on the eleven year old boy's cheek.
"Thanks for freeing me, friend." It hissed and left with the hope of returning to its birthplace in New Guinea.
He couldn't even laugh at Dudley getting wet and stuck behind the zoo glass case. An honest-to-God man just doing his job, dead on the hands of a snake he had freed however accidentally.
If you enjoyed it, please tell me in the review box C: And what do you think about it? I've always thought the boa constrictor scene fondly, but half of my mind also believe that it could have gone very differently, though only 5 minutes ago did I finally put this little scene that's been floating in my mind to words.

Guest: by suggesting that a human has less right to kill than other animals who do it all the time... you place the human specie beneath every other animal out there. looks like being capable of reasoning did not turn out well for you, you shouldve just had instincts like most other animals
Td: I never thought that by having some right to kill means we're above a species... I was showing the contrast between how a human (a moralistic one in this case) view a murder compared to an animal. Do you mean if I kill someone by 'instincts' I am the superior one? I'm not quite sure what you mean.
