One cannot live while the other survives. It was kill or be killed, that was my understanding to my destiny. The problem was I didn't know that then, at least not the true consequences. When Dumbledore finally told me the prophesy I realized that finally my life made sense to me now. The reason my parents died for me or why I face voldemort every year, it was why Sirius left me and why Cedric was murdered. The reason why I was abandoned like a dirty diaper on the Dursley's front step. It was the reason I danced as the Dursley's merlin be dammed house elf for ten years of my life just to be brought before the executioner's block when my purpose was done.
I made it seem like there was nothing that could hurt or fazed me even when I was thrown under the bus every single time shit hit the fan. When they made me competed in the tournament I didn't complain. When I had to attend the yule ball I faked a smile, danced and played the part. Though not very well I might add but it serves them right. When they all accused me of cheating, I didn't take out on them. When I became the heir of Slytherin I didn't seek vengeance nor as the master of death.
I played the role of the savior when it was convenient for the magical world so they could stick their heads in the sand. I could do it, I already did it all, and for the longest while it was the only thing that I knew. When it was all said and now I wasn't the Boy Who Lived anymore. I had become the Man Who Conquered.
But I'm only human and I bleed when I fall. There was nothing extraordinary about me in the least I was just harry. Yet everyone saw something in me which was meant to be their saving grace when they wouldn't even lift a finger to save themselves.
But magic saved me. Dumbledore saved me. It was why I adore him as my hero, my savoir. He saved me from the Dursley's and raise me like a lamb to the slaughter. Had us running for our lives without a clue in the world as to how to save it. His merlin damned secrets, I should have burned his portrait that day. He built me up so that I'd fall apart when it was convenient for him. His words in my head given me all that I needed to know and more yet he was never there when it mattered the most.
And now they're asking me to save them yet again after all that I've done. To sacrifice my peaceful happiness to provide them with the only thing I ever wanted.
" I've done more than enough to warrant this. I can only take so much, 'Til I've had enough!" I said. My bags were packed and ready to go from the moment that bill was signed.
I apparated away and left to the one place that I knew they wouldn't look because they never once thought that I would have left them on their own. Let them deal with the mess, it's their making anyway.
