Part X – Trapped

The final battle against Voldemort had been won, he was dead and his minions were scattering like rats. All that is except for Bellatrix LeStrange. She knew she was done for and she knew she had to make her last spells count for something. When Harry Potter had killed her beloved master, he had fallen to his knees on the ground and she had one last opportunity to cause some lasting damage, which she did.

No one ever knew what curse she used, but she had caused quite a bit of damage to Harry, she sentenced him to a living death trapped within the confines of his own body. A body that would no longer obey his commands and was numb from head to toe divorced from all feeling. Yes, Harry's mind was as clear as could be, but he was trapped in a body that would never move again.

That day was 62 years ago and now he lies day after day in a hospital bed at St. Mungo's where he has been everyday since then, bored out of his skull. Dumbledore had long ago realized that they could communicate with Harry through the use of occlumency and had been kind enough to translate for Harry in the beginning. Harry of course, could still see and hear, he just couldn't move his jaw to speak, and thus someone had to be in his mind to reply for him. So his dearest friends began studying and learning to become legimens in order to know what he was thinking. It was very upsetting at first for him, both because he was trapped, but also because he had absolutely no privacy even in his own mind.

Dumbledore had long since died as had Arthur and Molly Weasley and Remus Lupin, but Harry was never without a busy stream of visitors and loved ones. Ron and Hermione always came by to see him. They're married now and have children and grandchildren. Many of Harry's friends were like that, married with families. At one time Harry envied them something fierce for that, but he got over it. He even got over the fact that he was an 80 year old virgin. Very few knew that fact and he was happy for it, he could just see the headlines in the papers, "Harry Potter, 80-year-old VIRGIN, still comatose in St. Mungo's."

Lately however, he'd been thinking about death and he had kept it from everyone who had been looking in his mind that is except for one person, Hermione Jane Weasley. She knew and she never said a word about it. He had been thinking about it a lot, especially when no one was around. He didn't want to frighten anyone about it, but he was ready to die and be with his family.

Late one night, Harry had this funny feeling that he couldn't explain. Finally he had decided that he had pooped. Yes that was it, he pooped, nothing to worry about as he listened to the talking bookmark read the book he had been brought the other day. Hermione had charmed a book mark to read aloud whatever book it was placed into. Harry had enjoyed the present very much.

Then there she was standing in the room looking very sad, Hermione. At first Harry was confused and then became very excited, this was it. The thing he had longed for, for so long, a mercy killing. He was going to die now and his eyes twinkled like Dumbledore's had when he was young.

She walked over to him as he projected how much he loved her and was happy she was doing this for him, this was happiest he had been in years. Then she took the pillow from under his head and placed it over his face and began to smother him. Harry was thrilled, "Free, I'm going to be free." And then another thought came into his mind.

"I'm going to die with poop in my pants, damn it."

Answer - I was working on my main story, Harry Potter & the Honeychurch INstitute of Magic and when I was trying to post it, which took forever as I couldn't logged in, South Park was on TV. Well, you've read the rest. :)

Blue Rondo wrote Kick ace! I loved the one with deceptions, neville, and you of all people. Cool idea!

Answer - I was recently asked which one of these death scenes is my favorite and originally I would have said #4 You of All People, but thinking on it, I'd have to say it is #6, Neville.
