Stop bothering, I'll do it alone.

Prologue : Leaving is the only thing to do.


oOo

"Take off the locket, Ron," Hermione said, her voice unusually high. "Please take it off. You wouldn't be talking like this if you hadn't been wearing it all day."

"Yeah, he would," said Harry, who did not want excuses made for Ron. "D'you think I haven't noticed the two of you whispering behind my back? D'you think I didn't guess you were thinking this stuff?

"Harry, we weren't—"

"Don't lie!" Ron hurled at her. "You said it too, you said you were disappointed, you said you'd thought he had a bit more to go on than—"

"I didn't say it like that—Harry, I didn't!" she cried.

The rain was pounding the tent, tears were pouring down Hermione's face, and the excitement of a few minutes before had vanished as if it had never been, a short-lived firework that had flared and died, leaving everything dark, wet, and cold. The sword of Gryffindor was hidden they knew not where, and there were three teenagers in a tent whose only achievement was not, yet, to be dead.

"Don't bother, Hermione, I never should have accepted your help." Harry said coldly. "I'm the one the prophecy was talking about; you didn't have to suffer through this, the two of you." Hermione looked at him with a horrified expression while Ron paled.

Harry knew he was at breaking point. Ron complaining since the beginning of their journey, Hermione shutting down all his ideas about the places where the horcruxes could be, even berating him because Voldemort was too busy to shut down their connexion. He had enough

It was already a shitty chase around the country with next to no information thanks to the Master of Secrets, Dumbledore. He really didn't have time and the energy to cope with his friends' flaws at this point.

"Harry, I-I-you can't possibly mean ...", began Hermione, lower lip quivering and eyes watering. Once upon a time, he would have been swayed by her pretty face looking like he was hurting her the most ... not any more, he realised.

"Oh yes! He means that! I told you! He thinks, he's so important that he doesn't need us". Raged Ron, his anger coming back as the shock faded.

"I mean exactly what I said, Granger, Weasley." The use of their surnames and the ice in Harry's voice making the two other teenagers shudder. "I brought you along and I made a mistake I never should have. Now, I'm correcting that mistake." Harry ended before taking the horcrux from a frozen Ron and grabbing his cloak and spare clothing.

Hermione rushed after Harry as he left the tent, but she just heard him conjure a trunk and saw him disappear just as she was out. She turned toward Ron but he was still frozen on the spot.

"He's gone", the git mumbled. Hermione fell down on her knees and began to weep.


AN : Hello All ! Reading all those fanfics, I had an idea for one and I decided to try it ^^.

However, I must start by informing you that English is not my native language so I hope the mistakes I will make will not drive you away ^^.

I'm open to all suggestions to do better and I am eager to read your comments.
