A/N: I do not own Harry Potter. This is a song challenge featuring various characters in different situations (some AU) and pairings (chance of Slash). I will do four songs a chapter.
Poison – Alice Cooper
He was untouchable. He was too much for her, even if she could begin to fathom just how to reach him. There were too many things separating them.
Her age, his age, she was his student for Merlin's sake. She watched him, watched his robes billow around him. Her mind wandered just what he looked like under all the black clothing.
He called her name, she froze, for once her mind refused to remember the answer to his question.
"Detention." The word hung in the air, a tangible dream come true, him and her alone.
No, she couldn't allow herself to think that, no, he would never, she was a student. It felt like he was in her blood, her mind. She dismissed the idea. That wasn't possible. Her every waking thought consumed with him.
Me Against the World – Simple Plan
"No."
"No? Who dares say no to me."
"I do," Harry announced. "I will not stand with you. You have lied to me since the beginning. You are insane." Dumbledore blinked at this sudden change. He had thought Harry was his through and through.
"And what leads you to believe this?" He needed to steer Harry back.
"You lied to me several times, Hermione says there are ways of doing things. I am a child, I don't remember surviving Voldemort's attack. I am not your savior."
Call of Destiny – Xandria
He knew the snake was there waiting. He knew this was it. This was the end.
He had not made plans beyond this night. He heard the order, felt the pain. Now was the end. He knew that, he heard the screaming. He needed Harry to know the truth, why he had done everything. This was his redemption, this would save his soul, if he even had one left.
He gave Harry the memories freely. The pain subsided. Good. The darkness would claim him soon enough.
"You are a hero," a voice whispered. He didn't bother trying to figure out to whom it belonged. He knew it was a lie. He was no hero.
Stairway to the Skies – Within Temptation
There had been pain. Then darkness surrounded him. Then light. Muffled voices shouting. No one was supposed to be down here. He knew his position must have been compromised. He wondered who had found him. What had happened? His mind was fuzzy. He had been on guard duty.
"Can you hear me?" He opened his mouth. His throat was dry. Water was poured into his mouth slowly.
"You were attacked." Molly. Did she know? What about the kids? Were they alright?
"You're at St. Mungos," the added.
"Molly," he croaked.
"She's on her way here, don't worry. The order has everything under control. Just rest." Arthur closed his eyes. He was safe. Everything was under control. The prophesy was safe. He was safe.
