This is a one shot. It takes place after 5th year and explains thing that happened the that summer and the begging of his 6th year. I hope everyone enjoys and reviews.ps. the story is told by Hermione

DO YOU KNOW HARRY POTTER?

Do you know Harry Potter?

Because I do.

I know him better than most people, but that's not my point.

My point is do you know him?

Sure most of the wizarding world knows of him but they don't know him.

For instance did you know his favorite color is green?

Yeah, despite the fact it's the color of the most despised house at Hogwarts it's his favorite color.

Though if you ask him he'll just work around the question, after all he can't let people know that side of him, you know the one that only he knows.

Well, him and me.

And I bet you didn't know that he could become a chef if he didn't make it as an Auror.

After cooking all kinds of dishes for his family since he was five it's only natural that a guy picks up on a thing or two.

And if he ever offers to cook for you request his homemade pizza, it could give Wolfgang's a run for its money.

I also bet you didn't know he's tried to kill himself.

Sure at the time he didn't know he was doing it, but he was slowly dieing. He just seemed toâ€forget, how to live.

But then again when you think about it I don't think he's ever really known how to live in the first place.

Did you know he doesn't remember the last time he cried?

He wakes up at night from watching innocents getting killed. And he feels their pain. But he doesn't cry.

Why, because he's forgotten, and it doesn't look like he's going to remember. Not even when he's under the worst pain, or cutting a particularly strong onion.

Or maybe you knew about a folded piece of paper he keeps with him?

No?

Well it's faded and worn, and he has never shown anyone what's on it, but I know.

And I think that he knows I do, but he doesn't talk about it, and neither do I.

But I'm going to tell you.

On the piece of paper, written in pure black ink, spelled to make sure the words won't fade, is a list.

A list with every single person who has been killed in this wars name.

And, he knows every single one of them.

He's memorized their face, their name, the way they died, what their last words were

He went to all of their funerals. No one knows how but he did.

And he still feels the pain and hears the screams. He knows how they felt in their last moments, and how the families feel to lose someone.

He knows it all.

But he never shows it.

There's another thing about Harry that I bet you didn't know.

He's a great actor.

Sometimes a little too great.

But I know when he's just acting, I can tell.

Or maybe, just maybe, you knew that he knows how to drive a motorcycle. Maybe that's how he attended every funeral.

No again? He learned how to drive over the summer, but you didn't know that, did you?

Don't worry no one knows that.

Except Harry.

And me.

Because I know Harry Potter.

Do you?

Please review. I hoped you enjoyed it.
