Chapter 10
Blood on my Hands
Once you are done reading this chapter pleeze read the note at the end.
I'm a murder. I have killed people. Stopped their lives before it was time. Does anyone deserve that, to lose their life? No matter what they have done death is too harsh. No matter how harsh it is I have caused it. As young as age eleven I have caused it. I killed Professor Quirrel and then Tom Riddle. Some might say it was the right thing to do. When I did it without a second thought even though it was their life or mine. In a book it says something like, "...Many that live deserve death, but some that die deserve life can you give it to them. Do not be so fast to deal out death and judgment..." Have I dealt it out to swiftly, even if they did deserve death? Who on this earthy has the right to judge if someone is deserving of the punishment of death. I regret what I have dealt out now mostly because so many people, people I do not know and people I love and care about, have Died not deserving it, have suffered without crime have been punished innocently.
The most disturbing thought I have had is I still must murder or be murdered. If I am the one who is killed, it will be my fault the world is doomed. Yet, if I am the killer, I will be a hero, a hero for killing someone. It does not matter how treacherous they are or how many people they killed because I am just adding to the list of the dead. I will be honored for it.
If I kill him out of hate, anger, or revenge won't I be turning into him? It will not be a righteous murder, if there is such a thing. No matter what colors you paint it or how you decorate the facts the result will be the same.
Their will be blood on my hands.
Aki: Okay I realize some of you might interpret this as a political or moral view of the death penalty I just remind you that these are Harry's thoughts. I did not intend for it to appear this way. I can neither confirm nor deny that these are my views or if I have views on this subject. Again these are Harry's thoughts and how I would believe he would think. He has had to deal with the pain of the loss of murder so much that he probably figures no matter if he kills some one for a good reason some one would probably miss that person. He just does not like the idea that he has and will kill people. So now to the important part, Review!
