Disclaimer: if only...
Harry Potter was lying awake in bed. As of an hour ago, he was officially sixteen years old. The summer so far had been filled with good things, and bad things. Most of the Death-Eaters were locked up, but Voldemort was still out there. He received much more respect from the Dursleys, but he was as lonely as ever. The only contact he had with the wizarding world now was the Daily Prophet and Mrs. Figg. Mrs. Figg wasn't much help though. He supposed she had been told to keep quiet by Dumbledore.
He would often wander around as he had last summer. He had considered making friends with the some neighborhood kids, but they were all wary of him. He found he didn't mind, he liked being alone. Somedays, all he would do was think. All the time, his thoughts lead back to that day at the Ministry. It was all his fault. He felt he should have done something. He considered suicide a few times, and that made him feel like a coward. Felling like a coward made him think of Pettigrew. Pettigrew reminded him of Voldemort. Voldemort reminded him of everything else he didn't want to be reminded of. All these thoughts crossing through his head. Pain, destruction, death, hate, and love. All the pain people were caused, the destruction that happened, and was still happening. Sirius' death. His love for Sirius, as a mentor, as a father figure, and as someone who understood him. His "love" for Cho. He promised himself he would think twice before dating another older woman. He thought they had loved each other, now he realized it was just those blasted hormones. He supposed he loved Ron and Hermione as a brother and sister, and as friends. The rest of the Weasleys as well, except Percy of course, and everyone else he was close too. Everything else he felt was real.
That was one more thing that kept him alive. He had been saved by love and wanted to experience it for real. Not a silly crush, or lust, or want. He needed to feel real love.
(A/N: PLEASE tell me if you think it's too sappy or just plain lame, even thought I'll probably keep writing anyway. It would be really nice if I actually got reviews for this one. It's 100 percent written by me, so it would really mean a lot if you did review! Now that I'm done groveling, have a nice day! -) )
