I don't own Harry Potter. Or Furuba. If I did would I be writing fan fictions? Don't Sue.

The Calm After The Storm.

By AThousandYearsOfPain


Prologue

Harry's eyes swam with tears; he could still see them, all their corpses after HE had led them to the battle.

The dead faces full of horror that once looked at him in hope.

His friends, the ones who he had spent his school years, his enemies that had decided to fight for the light at the last moment.

His professors mutilated and charred.

The ones he loved were all gone.

Only he had survived.

But there was only thing he wanted which he could not deliver.

He wanted to die.

But he had made his promise to them.

To Hermione.

He promised to live.

How could he keep that promise?

He had always given his all for everyone. No matter what they had said he had always pulled through. He had given his everything. He had given his parents. He had lost his childhood the moment he had stepped into the final chamber to confront Quirrell in his first year. Betrayed by many of his peer's for his Parseltongue in his second. In his third he had saved Wormtail, whom he had just witnessed torture the last true Marauder. Fourth year he had watched his schoolmate and friend, Cedric murdered, while he Harry was left alive to watch Voldermort's resurrection. The next year he had watched his Godfather fall to his death slain by his own cousin Bellatrix.

And the final battle.

His fifth year.

He had watched everyone die.

He had defeated HIM.

Voldemort.


Awwwwww Harry is soooo going to need counselling.

'Cus if ya think about it he should be like way traumatised by his life, all the death and shunning by society, going from hero to psycho to hero in his 'fans' eyes. Gawd.

Its real surprising he bothers, to be honest.

Also I know it kinda sounds like he has a romantic relationship with Hermione with that whole, he promised to live for her thing. But I find romance between them gross. I mean he loves her like a SISTER people.

Major yuckies on the almost incest.

I mean Hermione would be his confidante because Ron would be crappy on the whole GOOD advice thingy. Also he would probably get all jealous or something for no apparent reason. (YES peoples, Ron is annoying, yet so fun to torture, hypothetically naturally.)

(stops mid-rant)

Anywho review.

That was not supposed to rhyme.

Half-rhyme.

Whatever.
