"He wears his heart
safety pinned to his backpack
His backpack is all that he knows
Shot down by strangers
whose glances can cripple
the heart and devour the soul.."

Chapter Title: Happyness: Harry Potter

POV: Harry

Characters: Harry and Draceyy-poo

Ships: H/D.

What the fucking hell. What the BLODDY hell? I am such a...ugh. What am I supposed to say? What is he expecting from me? He's crying now and what am I supposed to do?

I have no idea...so I walk away.

That's right, I turn my back on him, and WALK away. What else is expected?

I walk back over to where Hermione and Ron are cooing over each other.

"Erhmm, hey do you guys want to go and celebrate at my new flat?" I ask them timidly coughing over their sicking voices.

Sickening? Oh dear lord...I'm jealous... of that?

"Yeah, sure Harry, but let's go to Prodigiosus Vita, I have been dying to try their new Salmon recipe." Hermione spoke, fairly quickly. She seemed to forget all about me having to talk to Draco, which was fine with me. I just needed to get the HELL out of here. With everyone wanting to...poke and prod me, to be sure I was in fact, still alive. It was getting a bit annoying.

Oh and also, the fact that Draco was in the same damn room as me might have something to do with getting out of there.

I walked over to Dumbledore, I could see the twinkle in his eye that always made me feel like everything would be alright.

"Hey, so I think I'm going to go. Take Hermione and Ron out to eat. Thanks for everything, but I really need to get the hell outta here, it's like my first year again, when everyone was excited to even get a glimpse of me..." I say, looking around the room at the groups of people whispering and pointing at me.

Dumbledore gave me...a funny look, and then spoke.

"And what about Draco?" Dumbledore smiled, and his eyes seemed to twinkle twice as much as normal.

I hate that fucking twinkle.

"I...what about Draco." I shrug and turn to walk away.

"Harry." Dumbledore spoke softly.

I turn around and look at his feet. I can feel his eyes on me so I look up to meet his. I sigh.

"Is everyone noisy..." I whisper.

"What? What do you want me to do? He didn't want to talk to me. That's not my fault."

I cross my arms, daring Dumbledore to respond.

"It's time to stop being so scared of the future, stop worrying about your past. Harry, you are living in the now, we are all living in the now. It's time for you to take charge. Stop being so scared of letting yourself being happy." Dumbledore gave Harry a smile. "Enjoy the dinner with them, I know that they must be waiting for you to hurry back."

And with that, the old bastard turned and walked over to a group of Hogwarts teachers.

Who does he think he is? I'm not scared of being happy, if he knew anything, that's what I have been trying to do my whole damn life. Be happy. It's harder then it looks. How am I to be happy? How is a person who has seen so much death and horror in their life, ever supposed to be happy.

Oh that's right, their not supposed to be happy. Ever.
