A/N. Aww, JK is evil! I've just finished reading the 5th book and I was inspired to write this. Incase you don't work it out, it's Dumbledore's POV. I actually think this is pretty rubbish, but I can't be bothered to re-read it and edit it and whatever else. I also apologise for the rubbish title.
WARNING: CONTAINS SPOILERS, DON'T READ UNLESS YOU HAVE READ OOTP!
Cruel
THEN I DON'T WANT TO BE HUMAN.
I'm sorry Harry.
I've failed you
I took away the last chance you had of having a family.
It's my fault Sirius died. Not yours.
I remember having the same conversation with you about Cedric last year. That wasn't your fault either.
You have a habit of taking responsibility for things that you cannot control. I wish you wouldn't. I don't know how much more of this you can take.
I'VE HAD ENOUGH, I'VE SEEN ENOUGH, I WANT OUT, I WANT IT TO END, I DON'T CARE ANYMORE.
You've seen more than anyone I've ever known. Maybe even me.
You're too young to be suffering like this. You've seen countless people being kidnapped, tortured, murdered..
You're fifteen years old.
You should be worrying about homework, quidditch, girls, not whether you're going to live to see the end of the year.
But you keep it to yourself.
You keep all of your feelings; all of your suffering bottled up.
And I'm afraid. Afraid that it's going to kill you one day. I'm surprised you can even produce a Patronus.
How much suffering can you take before you break?
First your parents, then Cedric, and now Sirius, all dead. Life is so cruel.
You care so much you feel as though you will bleed to death with the pain of it.
I see your eyes glaze over when I say this. That's what you need, a good cry, a tantrum, something to let me know you haven't broken.
It's almost a relief when you start throwing things around my office, you haven't broken. Yet.
I dread to think what will happen if Ronald Weasley or Hermione Granger die.
But I know you won't let that happen. You will protect them fiercely, fight for them to the very end. It's what James would have done.
But don't worry Harry, you will get your revenge. The prophecy says that one will come out victorious.
And I know you will be the one. You will beat Voldemort and avenge every death at the hand of that monster.
And I'll be beside you all the way.
A small tear trickles down my cheek.
