Alive; Chapter 2: Today is the Day
Harry immediately thought, 'This isn't going to work,' and then shrunk all of his stuff to size and put it in the pocket of his robes. He sighed, and looked out of the window by Neville's bed. He stared at the floor and shook his head in disappointment at everything. He would miss Remus, Sirius, Ron, and Hermione. He didn't hate them, and he knew they felt bad about what they'd said, but he knew that somehow, they would have to learn to reduce their arguing. Harry then thought about what would happen if he did leave. He knew things would be different, and there was also the chance that he could get killed.
He loved taking chances. So, sighing, he walked out of the dormitory, set to leave the area. When he reached his favorite spot, the lake, he sat on a large rock, and thought about where he could go.
Better pack your bags and run
or stay until the job is done
or maybe you can sit and hope
that providence will fray the rope
and sink like a stone
Or go it alone
Ron had watched Harry leave the common room, but knew that something wasn't right. Hermione, who was busy studying at a nearby table, was still reading. "Hermione, Harry's trying to run," Ron said quietly. Hermione looked up at him. "I know. Let's go and---hold on." Hermione ran upstairs to the girls' dormitories, and found Ginny brushing her hair on her bed. "Yes?" Ginny said, still stroking her long, red hair. "Ginny, Harry's trying to run. You have to come with us," Hermione said quickly. Ginny's eyes widened, and then she sighed.
"Okay, I'll be right there," she said, standing up. She changed into her robes, and said, "Let's go." As they walked, they were all completely silent. "I know where he is," Ron said. Hermione and Ginny looked up at him. "He's at the lake. He always goes down to the lake." The girls nodded, and followed Ron towards the lake. Sure enough, Harry was sitting on a rock, with his head bowed down, and his hands on either side of the rock. Ron, in his haste, tripped over a hole that was ever-so-conveniently placed in a nice spot, and fell to the ground.
Harry looked up, and saw Ron, Hermione, and Ginny. He sighed heavily, and stood up. He continued to walk, even though Hermione and Ron were shooting apologies in his face, and Ginny was staying silent.
And isn't it enough - for you?
Isn't it enough?
So better pack your bags and run
and send it to oblivion
where you don't look like anyone
that anyone would care about
and do what you do
'Till it buries you Harry pushed Ron off of his sleeve when he grabbed onto it. "Come on!! I didn't mean it!! I didn't, I swear!!" Ron pleaded. Harry ignored all of the comments, and continued to walk. Finally, Ron shouted, "HARRY!! WILL YOU STOP AND LISTEN FOR JUST A MINUTE??" Harry turned around. "Thank you! Now, I'm telling you, I didn't mean to go and say something so...inconsiderate!! I shouldn't have dragged you into our argument! If you don't forgive us, then I'll take drastic measures, and just for the friendship of some celebrity! I don't know what I was thinking!!" Harry outstretched his arms on either side of him. "Do you want to hit me? Go ahead! Hit me! See if I care! You couldn't hit me if you were standing two inches in front of me! Let's face it, Ron, there's really no contest!" Harry said loudly. "Now, if you don't mind, I'm leaving you and your precious family and friends for the 'much better celebrity life', okay? Just leave me alone!!" Harry turned around, and continued walking further and further ahead until something hit him in the back. He immediately recognized it as the Stunning Spell, and fell to the ground. He heard his followers fall to the ground, too. And baby isn't it enough?
Like Major Reno at the Bluff
Wondering aloud if help is on the way
and baby isn't this your chance
to make a break with circumstance
and isn't it enough to prove today's the day?
Isn't it enough to prove today's the day? Harry heard a sick, evil voice fill his mind. "Trouble with friends, eh, Potter?" It was Lucius Malfoy. "I think it's past your bedtimes." Harry felt his body going through the process of a Portkey. It was going to be a long few days.
SORRY IT'S SO SHORT!! I KNOW IT SHOULD'VE BEEN LONGER!! BUT DON'T WORRY—I HAVE THE NEXT CHAPTER ALREADY IN MY MIND, AND IT INVOLVES TORTURE, SO BE PREPARED!! MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHMUUUUHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA!!!!!
