Chapter Two: Different
Ginny followed Harry when he left the great hall. He had acted strange since he had written that poem. His body kept shivering and jerking and he seemed to have something that Ginny could only liken to mild amnesia.
"Harry! Harry!" She ran up to him and turned him round, grabbing onto his shoulder and spinning him.
"Huh? Oh, yeah. Me."
"Is there something you want to tell me?"
"No. Why?" His voice sounded like a crackle as he spoke.
"Well are you okay?"
"Better than I ever thought I could be. Thanks so much for asking."
"Are you sure you don't need to go to the hospital wing?"
"I am sure. I am very sure. I feel fine. Will that be all?" He said, starting to walk off again.
"Could I have my book back please."
"No!" Harry said the word with such conviction and anger that Ginny almost took a step back from him in shock. "I have to destroy it."
"You can't! Urrm, it's a library book and I was enjoying ready it! Give it back."
"No. I am sorry. I shall give you a different book to read from the library and I shall pay the cost of any damages incurred."
"I'm not letting you." Ginny said, he was acting really strange. His voice was completely monotone styled and his eyes seemed to be glazed over. Just then Ginny saw Malfoy and his lackeys walking up the corridor towards them. Malfoy grabbed the book out of Harry's hand and flipped through it.
"What's this then? Hmm, poetry, the language of the losers and the dimwits."
"Give me that book back... Person."
"Excuse me? Person? You know what my name is Potter and I think that I will keep this book if it's that important to you."
"Give me that book back."
"No."
"Crucio, crucio, crucio." Harry said and Malfoy, Crabbe and Goyle were laying on the floor withering in pain. Harry bent down and picked up the book. "Thank you. I suppose that I should have used a wand don't you think? Then it would be much more easy to prove who I am though. No-wand works fine for me. Thank you for taking care of my book. I shall be going now." He muttered before walking off down the corridor, leaving Ginny to run down to the hospital wing.
A/N: Next chapter should be up soon.
