Attempting to bring myself back to writing.
I own nothing, not the quotes or the characters.
"What is the measure of a true hero?" - Hercules
Harry Potter, at the age of nineteen, can say he has had enough adventure for the rest of his life.
At age one he destroyed the Dark Lord Voldemort, who killed both his parents.
From ages one to ten he slaved away, not believing to be worthy of anything, with the Dursleys.
At eleven he stopped Voldemort from stealing the sorcerer's stone.
At twelve he killed a basilisk and once again thwarted Tom Marvolo Riddle.
His third year he freed Sirius Black, Mass Murderer *LIES*.
He survived, and won *tied* the Triwizard Tournament when he was only fourteen. Also fighting Voldemort to bring back the body of Cedric Diggory.
He broke into the ministry and fought toe to toe with death eaters at fifteen, and won, loosing his godfather.
Sixteen, he watched his mentor be murdered, and destroyed part of Voldemort.
And at seventeen, he destroyed Voldemort and won the war, and consequently saved the world, but so many were lost and hurt in that battle.
So at nineteen he was content filing paperwork and slowly dating Ginny Weasley.
Following the path of love that Albus Dumbledore set down for him, he felt content. No need to save the world, no evil person trying to take over the world.
The only one thing left to survive, asking Ginny Weasley to become Ginny Potter. And dealing with si- five brother in laws, three sister in laws, and his own sister in all but blood.
"For a true hero isn't measured by the size of his strength, but by the strength of his heart." - Hercules
He lost so much in such a short life, but he had so much left to live for. Cedric, Sirius, his parents, Fred, Tonks and Remus, Moody, Colin, Hedwig, and everyone who had lost their lives who had fought for freedom, they would be remembered and thanked, but Harry kept moving forward.
Who knew that a cartoon he watched with Hermione would reflect his troubles.
I was in a very Disney mood when writing this, and was watching Hercules. Harry might suffer more than Herc, but the message seems to be the same.
I also made one other Disney reference, with a slight change in tense. Find it!
