If You Can't Beat Them, Join Them
"Has anyone seen Harry?" Neville asked in desperation, however his reply was a collective 'no' again. He had been looking for Harry all afternoon and nobody has seen him. With no particular destination in mind he wandered around aimlessly, and who should he bump into, but the very person he was looking for in the first place.
"Neville? Are you alright?" Harry asked picking himself up off of the floor and helping Neville in the process. "Harry I was looking for you everywhere, where have you been?"
"oh you know around." Harry replied absent-mindedly waving away the question. "So what did you want then?"
"Look Harry, what you said yesterday about my magic, can we change it or not? I will do anything Harry please tell me what I have to do."
"Well it's not that simple Neville you see"
"I will do anything."
"No Nevi"
"I will fight a basalisk."
"Neville its not tha"
"I'll test the first years potions."
"No it's just that I"
"I'll kiss Crabbe and Goyle."
"NEVILLE! SHUT UP! Wait you would kiss Crabbe and Goyle. Hang on wait no that's not important, your not the one who can save your magic, I will save it."
"huh?"
"ok look you magic is dying it needs to be fed magic to breed magic, since I'm the only one who knows about this I will do it."
"but"
"I will do it end of story!"
Harry left Neville with that news to sink in whilst he went and got his own head straight he hadn't felt right all morning, it was sort of an ache or pain he couldn't quite describe it, at first he thought it was because he was mad at Draco but that wasn't it, he couldn't quite put his finger on it. A craving? No. A need? No. A desire? Yes that was it a deep deep desire, but what for? It was like a calling deep within him that he just couldn't place. His leg has been wandering without any sense of direction but now he focused all his attention on this yearning inside him and he switched directions not really knowing what he was looking for but somehow knowing it was in that direction.
Arriving at the edge of the forbidden forest he stopped merely pausing knowing that what he was searching for lie within the forest know what dangers lurk in the dark twisted trees, yet oddly not minding. Harry sniffed long and hard taking in the night air, before briskly entering the forbidden forest.
