The Real Deal

Chapter 1-Hurt and Betrayed

Harry was confused, upset, and lonely. He was in Dumbledore's office after a trip into the pensive. He couldn't believe Dumbeldore hadn't told him. 'Well he shouldn't have expected a way better', thought Harry bitteraly. After all Dumbldore hadn't told he was the chosen one till his 5th year. He didn't know what to think or do.

He remembered all those happy memories in his 1st~3rd year when he hadn't experienced the whole world. Life was much more complicated now that he was older. He had always thought the opposite. Now he didn't know what to do. Of course he had to tell Neville but how? As he was thinking two figures approached him. Ron and Hermione.

"Harry are you all right?" asked Hermione cautiously.

"Thanks Hermione. But I'm fine", replied Harry controlling the emotions that threatened to burst out of him any second.

"Are you sure mate?" asked Ron looking nervously over at Hermione.

Hermione responded to his nervous look with an encouraging smile. Harry loved that they were trying but he could not tell them.

Ron surprisingly knowing that Harry had something on his mind asked "Mate. You know you can tell us anything right? What could possibly surprise us? We even know that you're a horcru…." Ron suddenly stopped and clamped his mouth shut. But the damage had been done.

Harry stood up with a betrayed look on his face. Dumbledore and now Ron. Did anybody actually love him. He couldn't believe it. A wave of hurt threatened to wash up to his face but Harry covered it with a "Malfoy Smirk".

"Harry I….Mate…..I meant," Ron stopped knowing it was worthless to continue.

"I know exactly what you mean," Harry said hurt laced into every word. He tried to hide it but that was impossible. After all Dumbledore had been like a grandpa Ron had been his brother. Best friend. "You mean that you never actually liked me. I should have known it was all a set up. It was pretty sus anyway. No way there couldn't have been no empty seat in the Hogwarts Express! And why would a mother who already had 3 children go to King's Cross loudly ask her little girl! Are you part of Dumbledore's perfect plan too?" ,Harry threw the question unexpectedly at Hermione.

"No," Hermione said a little too quickly and it gave it away.

"You are!" ,Harry accused her. "I can't believe I trusted you. Any of you!" And Harry stomped out of the room.

Hermione chased after Harry shouting after him, "Wait! Harry! Please!" But she tripped on a staircase and fell down.

Meanwhile Harry continued running. He didn't know where he was going. Just somewhere far far away. Soon Harry stopped. He had to tell Neville. Luckily at that moment Neville ran to Harry bumping into him.

"Sorry Harry," Neville told Harry ,"Are you alright?"

"I'm…." Harry paused then continued saying ,"It doesn't matter. What matters is you Neville."

"What do you mean Harry?" ,Neville questioned.

"You're the chosen one," Harry blurted out.

"I….What?" ,Neville said confused.

"It's you Neville. Not me. I was just part of Dumbledore's plan," Harry said, spilling his feelings on that sentence. "Neville. Listen to me. Voldemort chose me but he chose the wrong one. So Dumbledore decided to use that to his advantage by using me to fend Voldemort off from you. He knew about Quirrell and the basilisk and about Mad-Eye-Moody. He just needed them out of the way for this. For you. Don't worry about me. Take my invisibility and go. Go hunt down Voldemort. I already destroyed all the horcruxes like Dumbledore wanted me to. Now all that's left is for you to kill him. Okay? Go! Now! There's no time!"

Neville just stood there asking, "Harry. I'm….I'm sorry. Is there anything I can do?"

"No. It doesn't matter. I served my destiny. Now it's time for yours," Harry said revealing more in that sentence than he had wanted to.

Harry sighed, "Just go Neville. Go." Harry gave him a little push and Neville stumbled away with Harry's invisibility cloak.

Harry sighed. It was over. He didn't know if he should be relieved or not. He had no friends. No family. No nothing. So he decided that the best way would be to go into hiding. Change his identity. Get a new start. That's it he decided. His new plan.
