A/N: I know that I left you hanging on an edge with my last chapter, so I hope that this clears it up for you! So sorry, I just wasn't so sure myself with exactly what was going to happen, so I had to take a bit of time to think about it... Also, sorry about the drastic changes... I guess that air-headed me must have replaced the second chapter with the third instead of just adding it... OOPS!!! Well, anyway, as you can surely see, that problem has been remedied! Sorry, I'll stop rambling at you now! ENJOY!
Chapter 4
He stepped out on the ledge and heard a voice calling to him. He was in a daze. "HARRY!!!! HARRY don't do it!!!" shouted Hermione.
"Please Harry, stop!!!" called Ron.
Harry quickly turned around, hearing his friends calling him. He stood there for a moment and just stared at them for a moment. "But don't you see," he asked them, "Don't you see that this is killing me?! Don't you see that if I don't end it all right now, that slowly it will eat away at me until I am entirely consumed? Then he'd win! I can't let that happen! I have to be the one to decide when my life is going to end. I'm sorry, but I have to."
"No, Harry, please!" cried Hermione. "You can't! If it weren't for you I don't know where I would be right now! Probably dead! Before I met you, I was so conceited and I wouldn't let anyone forget how smart I was! But then I met you and Ron, and that made me realize exactly why I didn't have any friends. If it weren't for you two, I still wouldn't have any friends! I need you Harry, you cannot do this to me! And what about Ron? He needs you too!"
"Yeah, Harry, I need you too! I mean, you're my best friend! You've been there for me every time I've ever needed you! And I won't fail you in your time of need! This is it, Harry! You can't kill yourself! That would be the same as letting..." Ron gulped hard, "Voldemort win! The world needs you Harry! The wizarding world and the muggle world alike! We need you to defeat him! I'm gonna need you again Harry! If you go, I go too!"
"Yeah! Me too!" said Hermione. She wiped away the tears that streaked her face.
"You two! Just let me make this decision for myself! Don't be rash because of something I do! You two still have your whole lives ahead of you, don't be foolish!" said Harry.
"Your calling us foolish? We're not the ones standing on the window ledge!" exclaimed Ron. "Now just come back inside, please Harry. Talk to us for a while!"
"Yes," said Hermione, "Come back in and we can get some breakfast! You can talk to Dumbledore about whatever it is that's bothering you. Just please come back in!"
"You don't understand! You don't have this thing eating away at your soul! You don't have to deal with the pressure that I face every time that I look in the mirror! And really, consider yourselves lucky that you don't! But your right. I am the one being rash, and I really need to get myself out of this window..." said Harry, turning around and taking the hands of both Ron and Hermione.
He took a step toward his friends, but his robe was caught, so he slipped backward and fell off of the edge. From the pull of the force, Ron and Hermione were forced to let go of Harry's hands. Harry grasped the ledge with all of his might, but he knew that soon, he would fall. He looked at Ron and Hermione with panic behind his deep green eyes. And they pulled and tugged trying to get his hands loose from the edge so that they could pull him up. But he was slipping, His grip getting weaker and weaker until...
A/N: Another cliffhanger! So sorry all! I will do my best to remedy this for you with my next chapter! Wish me luck!
