Hello, it's me. JK that proper way to say it is it's I. I'm too bored to write down the Naruto thing for my story, so now I'm writing something else. This is where you go "Yay! My all-time favorite author FABULOUSGIRL is writing what will become my all-time favorite story! Oh my gawd!" JK, again. I'm really silly like that and you shouldn't encourage me. Anyway, no more one-shots for a while, I just worked on those for days so I'm done. I'd like to get on with the story cause this monologue I'm writing will be the whole chapter if I don't sooooooooooo. ON WITH LE STORY! (BTW this part takes place right after the tri-wizard tournament.
Harry's POV.
I felt really depressed. I had just let someone die, right in front of me. Why? Why wasn't I strong enough to save him? Cedric Diggory, you shouldn't have listened to me. I would be the one dead, and you wouldn't have to be gone. I felt something warm now draped around me. I opened my eyes and found myself in a group hug with Ron, Hermione, Ginny, and the twins. I could feel tears stain my eyes. A small hand reached over and squeezed mine, warming me, even though I felt so cold and utterly lost.
I walked down the hallway of Hogwarts, it felt empty, like something, or someone, was missing. There was no happiness on the last day of schooling. It was a double-negative. I had to deal with death on my conscious and the Dursleys. They were bad enough as is. I heard echoing footsteps, other than my own down the hallway. It was Ron.
"Hey, mate. The feast is starting, are you going to come? Ginny's saving us seats." I couldn't help but think that Cedric would have been smiling and laughing at the great hall with the rest of us. I sighed.
"I have to don't I?" Ron grinned and grabbed me by the elbow. I let him drag me to the entrance. He then let go of my arm and entered the Great Hall without me. I walked in and everybody stopped what they were doing to stare at me. I didn't know what I was supposed to do so I took a step backwards. Then, without any warning, the hall erupted into cheers and yells. I felt my lips part as I stared wide-mouthed at the cheering crowd. I ducked my head down and moved to the Gryffindor table. I found Hermione, Ron and Ginny flagging me over. Ron sat next to Hermione and Ginny was on the other side of an open seat. I plopped down in it, and began to dully play with the food on my plate. Near the end Dumbledore spoke loudly for all of us to hear.
"Now, we near the end of a very great year here at Hogwarts, and there has been a threat shown at our school. . . Lord Voldemort has returned, Harry has seen him with his own eyes, and we have suffered a tragic loss because of it." Cho whimpered over at the Ravenclaw table. Dumbledore continued.
"We, as a wizarding community have to prepare for this. You must be careful who you trust. We, and the Ministry of Magic need to prepare to take the necessary precautions if we want any hope at stopping him. Now, I hope you all will stay safe at home and return to school next year." I got plenty of stares as Dumbledore finished his speech, I looked at none of them. I just stared at my plate. The twins were glaring at something behind me, I paid it no attention, but did hear their muttering.
"Stupid Slytherin prats! Little snots." At that I cracked a smile, which faded two seconds later. Ron and Hermione were whispering to each other. I could hear a little of it when they talked.
"Yes, I know Ron. What should we do though?"
"We could take him to my house over the summer, he always liked it there."
"Would Dumbledore let us?"
"I'm sure it'd be fine." I decided this was the right moment to interrupt.
"A summer at the Burrow does sound fun." Ron jumped a little and Hermione covered her mouth.
"You heard that?" I nodded.
"Yeah. I am willing to try and have a good summer if I get to go to the Burrow." Ron then stood.
"Well come on then. Lets go talk to Dumbledore." I jumped up. The Burrow was the best place to be on holidays, the whole Weasley family was so nice and sweet to me, I know that I'd love it there. I walked leading Ron and Hermione past the tables. I walked right up to the teachers table and to Dumbledore.
"Hi sir, I was wondering if I could have a word?" Dumbledore looked up from talking to Professor McGonagall.
"Excuse me Minerva, Harry, please come to my office." I followed Dumbledore to the stairs. He stopped at the door.
"Acid Pops." The Gargoyles hopped out of the way. We walked up the narrow steps and to Dumbledore's office. He opened the door and sat behind his desk. He gestured to the seats in front of him. We took seats. I turned to the headmaster. He smiled at me.
"Now Harry, what would you like to talk about?" I cut right to the chase.
"I want to stay at the Burrow for the summer! I don't want to go to the Dursleys!" Dumbledore didn't seem shocked at all and stayed in a professional state.
"I understand that, Harry. You cannot go with the Weasley family though."
"Why not?!"
"Harry, I have told you before. The protection your mother put on you will keep you safe as long as you return home there every summer."
"That's not fair! No one else has to deal with this!" Dumbledore raised his finger.
"But, I will allow you to go there after a months time. I will send an owl while your family is away, and we will move you then." I felt rage boil inside me. Yet I spoke quietly.
"Why are you so protective of me? Why am I so important?"
"Now Harry, you are the only one who can fight the Dark Lord. You have a destiny, a future."
"I wish I didn't! I wish I didn't have this all planned for me! I want to be normal! Is that too much to ask?!" There was a knock on the door. Professor Snape walked in and I stormed out, Ron and Hermione following in pursuit. I didn't go back to the great hall though. No I went to the Gryffindor common room and sat at the fire, wishing Sirius would call. I wanted to talk to someone who would understand me.
Yep! That's how it ends this chapter. I hope that you liked it, you can start to see more fluff in the next chapters. I'll see you again soon so thats a wrap. Baiiiiiiii
