A/N : : : : : : : hello again everyone. I know that I was supposed to wait until next month to update, but I couldn't wait (I'm not very patient....teehee, lucky you). Anyway, I hope that you guys like this chapter. This story may seem kind of weird now, but I have pretty much everything planned out, so it will all come together in the end. About the next chapter, it's important that you read the author's note. There is something important that regards the story that you have to know. Anyway, we can worry about that when I update next. Hope you like this chapter. In case you haven't noticed or were thinking that the chapters were too short, I have yet to write a chapter less than 1,000 word long. So anyway, just thought that you'd like to know that. Hope you enjoy this chapter . . . . . .yeah, so go ahead and read it . . . . .
Chapter 4 : Not Yourself Anymore
When Ron and Hermione got to their usual compartment, they found that Harry was asleep. They sat across from him, being as quiet as they could.
"Is it okay that he's sleeping?" asked Hermione. "He could have a concussion, and I think that muggle doctors say that people who have those kind of injuries shouldn't sleep until a certain amount of time has gone by. And don't you think it's a little strange that I didn't see any blood on him as he left the compartment. And-"
"Oh Hermione, you worry too much. He's fine! What I want to know is why he ran away from us in the first place, "said Ron.
"Well, we'll confront him about it latter. Let's not wake him now, I guess," Hermione said. They stayed in silence until a few minutes later, when Harry started mumbling.
"What's he saying Ron?" asked Hermione.
"How am I supposed to know?" Ron replied, but Hermione's question was soon answered.
"No, please, I didn't mean to . . . . . "mumbled Harry. Ron touched his shoulder, and all of a sudden Harry shouted, "No, please stop, I didn't mean to. Please, stop it!"
"Harry, HARRY!" Ron shouted, trying to wake him up, but that only made him struggle harder.
Ron, don't be stupid! This is how you wake someone up," said Hermione. "Accio glass of water." She took the cup that came flying toward her and poured it on Harry. He immediately sat up, tears mingling with the water that his friend had poured on him.
"Harry?" said Hermione hesitantly.
"I-I- . . . . "Harry bolted out the doorway before he could get out a full sentence.
Ron made a move as if to follow him, but Hermione put a hand on his shoulder to stop him and shook her head.
Harry ran out of the room and down the hall, to the same compartment that he had done the concealing charm in. Harry thought back to the dream he had just had as he walked down the still deserted hall. The dream was pretty much the same as always, except this time the dream was more of a warning, telling him that his friends were getting too close and that he had to push them away before they got hurt, or worse.
He opened the door to the compartment and picked up his jacket, turning to leave when he noticed read streaks down the wall under a broken window. Harry touched the back of his head and looked at his fingers. He didn't see anything, but his hand felt wet and sticky.
'At least I know that the concealing charm worked,' he thought as he left the compartment and headed for the bathroom.
As soon as Harry got into the restroom, he took off the concealing charms to examine his latest injuries. He did not look so good. His hands were tinted red from touching the blood that was caked on the back of his head. His face had cuts from when he had his the class, as well as bruises and cuts from that summer. After getting a good look at himself and deciding that there was nothing to worry about, Harry took off his glasses and started to wash his face.
"Damn, what happened to you potter?"
Harry put his glasses back on and spun around to face Draco Malfoy. A WORRIED Draco Malfoy.
Harry sighed. "What do you want Malfoy?"
"I want you to answer my question Potter," said Draco as he walked closer to Harry, "what happened?"
As Draco came closer, Harry backed up. Harry only went so far before he was backed into a corner, but Draco continued until they were almost nose-to –nose.
"Tell me Potter, what happened?"
"And why should I?" asked Harry angrily, regaining his ground and pushing a surprised Draco out of his way. "Why do you care? For years we've been enemies, and now you're suddenly concerned? Why are you doing this?"
"Because," said Draco quietly, a little put out, "we are perfect for each other. I know you like to think otherwise, but you don't belong in Gryffindor. You may be brave and loyal, but you're also smart, cunning, devious, and dark. We could have been best friends! You belong in Slytherin, not in Gryffindor!"
Harry looked at Draco, surprised, for about a minute before he pushed past him to get to the door. He was about to leave, but paused when Draco started to speak again.
"You know I'm right Harry,' said Draco. "Look at your friends. You're nothing like granger and the Weasel . . . . . . at least not anymore."
Harry stood there, on the verge of tears. He wasn't ready to face the truth.
He walked out of the restroom, leaving Draco behind.
A/N:::::::::::::::::::: hope you guys liked the chapter. I really am sorry it was soo short, but like I said, I updated early. There were supposed to be about 350 more words, but I don't know, I just didn't feel like adding them. So they'll be in the beginning of the next chapter. Okay, her are the
REVIEW REPLIES :
Erdeniorn - yeah, sorry about that. When I type I'm usually too busy trying to make the story sound better to notice stuff like that. But I can totally relate. I hate it when I read a story that just consists of a bunch of run on sentences that don't really make sense. I really do try my best though. If you point them out for me I would gladly change them, but I don't know how well I could do on my own.
diamond004 - no, they're his friends. What I said in the summary about his friends only being with him because they pity him is what I imagine Harry feels. Ron and Hermione don't really play a huge part in this story, so I really tried to fit them in somewhere. Not that they don't pity him, but they are worried. As you can see, they're smart enough to know when to back off (or at least Hermione is, lol. No, I have nothing against Ron, but he really isn't that bright). Anyway, I try to update frequently, and as you can see I don't have much self-control and I keep posting weeks before I had planned to.
ferokeroberos - yeah, run and Hermione should, but they won't, at least not yet. And Harry will end up in the hospital wing, just not anytime soon. Things will get brighter toward the middle, but you'll have to wait a little while. When he gets to the past the story will lighten up.
Okay you guys, based on what you said I'm starting to think that maybe I should put this under drama as well. Man, I never thought that I could make someone cry, lol. But really, I'm sorry for the shortness, but at the rate I'm updating, I'm having trouble typing fast enough. So I have to divide the chapters. But yeah, if people are reading and just not reviewing, Harry is going to the future, and I already have that chapter written on paper, I just have to type it up. I'm wasn't supposed to post this chapter until June 20th, and so logically that means that I'm not supposed to update again until July 20th, but expect me to update again very soon (damn, you guys are lucky that I have no self control!!). so long for now! -Sami
