Chapter Eleven: In Which Frustrations Are Vented

"Well . . . Voldemort said that he only killed my mother because she tried to stop him from killing me. But why would he want to kill me in the first place?"

"Alas, the first thing you ask me, I cannot tell you. Not today. Not now. You will know, one day . . . I know you hate to hear this . . . when you are ready, you will know."

"Because I'm too young, right?"

"Yes, Harry, it is a burden I would not wish on your shoulders just yet."

"So I'm too young to know, but not too young to kill? I killed Quirell with my bare hands, Professor. His skin blistered at my touch, and he couldn't get off a single curse because he was in too much pain. I killed him, Professor, knowing full well what that would do to my soul. He literally burned to death by my hands, and that isn't a burden? Knowing that I took another man's life?"

Dumbledore's face was ashen, "M'boy, I could not know, I did not-"

"Right, you probably thought Quirell was taken away by angels from heaven or something. Newsflash, Professor, my parents were murdered by a psychopath, and I, at the age of eleven, destroyed the person the psychopath was possessing! That isn't a burden at all, is it? Not according to you at least. No, no it's all sunshine and roses for Harry James Potter."

Things started to break rather violently in the hospital wing.

His voice took on a very bitter tone, "You put me with the Dursleys, knowing full well what that would do to my childhood. You knew they hated magic, and that they would treat me like something they stepped on rather than as their own son! But you wanted that, didn't you, so I could be the tragic hero? You made sure I would never mention my foster parents to anyone because I would be ashamed, Professor. Ashamed, of what I am, of the magic that brought only punishment. Ashamed, of my parents for ten years, thinking they were good-for-nothing drunks . . ."

The door to the hospital wing slammed shut loudly. Beds started to overturn, pillows flying everywhere. Madam Pomfrey was unable to enter the hospital wing at all.

The frustration and anger from 'ten dark and difficult years' were getting an excellent outlet right now.

"But a happy childhood wasn't for me, it was for people who were normal. People who weren't freaks. Freaks who made freakish things happen, freaks who were to be locked up. Freaks who didn't deserve things that normal people did, like friends and people who cared about them. Who didn't deserve happiness, who didn't deserve life."

Dumbledore looked like somebody had punched him right where it hurt.

"Harry, I am truly sorry for the hardships you faced. I didn't know they would-"

"You didn't know? You literally played judge, jury and executioner with me, Professor. One would think you would take at least a few seconds to check out the people who would raise your precious Boy-Who-Lived!"

There was a silence.

AN: Well, I believe Dumbledore suffered a massive brain fart with regards to choosing the guardians for Harry Potter.

Also, the blood protections are rather useless because :-

1) Dobby seems to have no problem getting inside the house in second year.

2) Sirius Black seems to have no problem finding and stalking Harry (in dog form) in third year

I think a Fidelius Charm would have been much better to protect Harry from Voldemort's supporters.

Would certainly love to discuss this with anyone who thinks differently or has an explanation.
