Title: Wish Granted

"What was all that about?" Ron asked as he stuffed his face with pie.

"I have no idea." Harry answered earnestly. At this Hermoine let out a little sigh.

"What was that?" Harry asked as he looked at Hermoine inquisitively.

"Nothing, I just thought that the two of you might be a bit more intuitive."

"What does that mean?" Ron asked sounding offended.

"Well, it's just obvious what Dumbledore wants."

"Then what, pray-tell, does he want with me Hermoine?"

"It's only obvious. He is concerned about you, as am I. You've been acting very strange lately.

At this Ron chimed in "It's true mate. I hate to admit it, but you've been a bit on the loony side since we got back to Hogwarts."

"I have not. I'm just like I always have been-"

All of a sudden Dumbledore stood up. "I think that we have all been sufficiently stuffed. I will now dismiss you to your dormitories. Happy Halloween to everyone.

"Harry, you better go. Ron and I will wait for you in the common room."

"Thanks guys. Hopefully I'll be there soon."

Harry waited a minute as he watched his two friends leave. Then he began to slowly approach the head master. "Come Harry. This will only take a few minutes, but I wish to have a word with you."

"Yes Professor."

They walked down the hall silently, until they reached the entrance to Dumbledore's office.

"Fizzing Whizbee"

The two walked into Dumbledore's office.

"Have a seat Harry." Harry sat in the seat across from Dumbledore's.

"What did you wish to see me about professor?"

"Harry, you haven't seemed like yourself lately? I've noticed that you seem far off a lot of the time. Your teachers are complaining that you aren't paying attention-"

"That's just Snape and he-"

"Professor Snape, Harry"

"That's just Professor Snape and he only says it because he doesn't like me."

"It's true that Severus has told me of our lack of attention, but so have several of your other teachers. They are all worried about you. That is the reason I asked you up here tonight. We are all concerned."

"I'm fine professor, really."

"Harry, I am going to ask you a question and I want you to answer it honestly."

"Oh no. I don't want to answer a question honestly. He is going to ask me what's wrong. I can't tell him what's wrong. I just can't."

"Yes sir. I will Professor."

"Crud. Why did I just say that. No... NO, I won't answer you honestly I can't.

"What is the matter?"

"I knew it. I'm not saying anything. Not one..."

"I'm not sure professor. I've been really confused lately. Almost angry."

"STOP! NO! DON'T TELL!"

"Everyone thinks that it is just great to be me. But I have had to deal with so much over my life. I just wish that I could be someone else. Anyone else. I don't want to have to battle the dark lord anymore. I just want to live my life as normally as possible. I'm sick of people telling me that I'm special. I don't want to be special. I just want to have a normal life. My parents are dead. My Godfather is gone. I don't have much to be happy about anymore. I just want to be someone else."

"I'm sorry that you feel that way Harry. There is something that I can do for you Harry, but it is very dangerous and it is irreversible. However, it will give you what you desire. You will be someone else. I cannot tell you who you will be either. This spell does different things for different people."

"Yes, sir. I want it. If I can be someone else I want to do it."

"Alright, but keep in mind that as I cast this spell I will be affected too. No one, even you, will have any memory of the life that you have now."

"Yes sir. Are you going to do it now?"

"If that is what you want. I just want you to be happy."

"Yes sir, it is."

"Okay"

Professor Dumbledore pulled out his wand and whispered a few words that couldn't be understand. Harry heard a loud bang and saw Dumbledore fall over.

"What happend Professor?"

"Harry, it's wrong. I can't stop it. BE CAREFUL!"

With that the room was filled with white smoke and Harry fell asleep.

A/N: OKay, what do you think? I decided to give you two chapters to get you into a little bit of action. Plenty to come in the next few chapters. I'll also introduce another character into the story. A bit of a twist. Thanks for reading and reviewing. Please give me some feedback.

God Bless
