Disclaimer- I do not own these characters, and I'm sure J.K. would be appalled at how I'm treating them.
He walked down the hallways, thinking. There had been a fight between him and his girlfriend recently, and he had no idea what to do. They had, in fact, broken up. Being the boy that he was, this should not have bothered him. Except for what they had said.
"You don't care about anything, you selfish prick!" She was crying, and it only made him angrier.
"Of course I care about things! I just don't care about what you care about! You barely know me! All I am in your eyes is the hero!" He was shouting, things he never thought he would say.
She was screaming now. "Because all you are is the hero! The moment there's a crisis, you have to stick yourself into it, ignoring how it affects everyone else! Just so you can be the hero! Sometimes I wonder if you actually love me!"
He was angry, words spilling over, thoughts he had kept to himself. "Well maybe I don't! Did you think of that? That maybe the only reason we're together is your ridiculous family? Have you ever thought of that?" She's crying harder now. But he's not sorry. He refuses to be sorry, as everything he said was true. He refuses to be sorry for how he feels, even if it hurts her.
"Well then go away! Get away from me! Go be the hero!"
Go be the hero. That was a phrase he had heard all too often. Go save the world, you're our only hope. Go stick yourself in danger, get yourself killed. For the good of the world.
Well. They could all go to hell, because he was done being everyone's hero. They could all rot, and he couldn't care less. He knew he would be asked to save the world, to do something that no one else wanted to do. Simply because he was just unlucky enough to survive.
As he walked the hallways, he knew one thing for certain. He was done being the hero.
