Chapter 13: Anger Hurts
Disclaimer: I do not own anything Harry Potter, unless I magically turn into J.K. Rowling overnight.
Mary was sitting in the common room, staring into the fire and thinking. Her elbows were on her knees, and her chin rested on her fists. Her eyes were red and puffy from crying angrily. It was about time for dinner, but Mary wasn't hungry. She was too upset that her powers were now causing her and her new friends danger. Worst of all, Harry thought she was going to kill him.
After about half an hour of staring into the fire, Mary saw a strange kitten creeping along the entrance.
"Rose, quit it." Mary said, angrily.
Rose transformed back into a human and went over to sit next to Mary. Rose put an arm around Mary.
"What's wrong? You weren't at dinner, so I came up." Rose said worryingly.
"Oh, like you don't know?" Mary said, getting angry again. She shoved Rose's arm off her.
"No, I don't! Probably no surprise to you there!" Rose said, raising her voice and getting angry herself.
"Our powers are putting us in danger! It's putting our friends in danger! Worst of all, Harry thinks we're going to randomly going to kill him!" Mary yelled. She was now standing and clenching her fists together.
"If you listened to Dumbeldore-"
"Of course I did! You're the one that changed into a cat to come see me! If you think about it, you're breaking the rules more than me!"
"What's your problem Mary?" Rose yelled.
"If you came to yell at me, why don't you just leave?!" Mary yelled and picked up a broken piece of glass that was conveniently on the table by her. She threw it at Rose and it hit her on her arm. It hit her left wrist which started bleeding. Rose grabbed her wrist with her right hand. She ran up to the dormitory to get something to stop the bleeding.
When she was sure Rose was gone she exhaled and stared deep into the fire.
'What am I doing?' Mary asked herself.
After Rose had stopped the bleeding and put a bandage on it she transformed into a very small owl. Rose flew down towards the Great Hall, where Harry, Ron, and Hermione were eating dinner. She landed right outside the doors and with a flash of lime green light transformed back. Rose then stormed angrily into the Hall to where Harry, Ron, and Hermione were sitting.
"How's Mary doing? Is she any better?" Hermione asked curiously.
"Only if you count yelling at me and hurting me being better," Rose said as she sat down. "She really didn't want to talk about anything. I walked in and she immediately started yelling and getting angry. She threw a piece of glass at me too. She looked like she had already been angry and crying before I got there."
"That can't be good." Harry said under his breath.
"Harry, stop it." Hermione said, annoyed. "He's been talking like this all night." Hermione said to Rose.
"I actually don't blame you, Harry." Rose assured. "I mean, if someone had the powers to kill me, I would be afraid, too." Harry shot Rose a smile then returned to staring down at his plate.
"J'espère qu'elle est meilleure par maintenant." Rose said under her breath, getting some food onto her plate.
"What?" Ron questioned.
"I said 'I hope she is better by now.' She's really upset." Rose said, worried.
"She'll be fine." Hermione assured. "Now eat something."When everyone walked back into the common room Mary was still sitting by the fire. Her eyes concentrating on it but at the same time not concentrating at all. She seemed distant and deep in thought. Harry walked over and sat in a chair next to her.
"You okay Mary?" He asked.
"Fine," Mary lied.
"You missed dinner."
"I wasn't hungry."
"Listen," Harry started slowly. "I'm sorry about before. It's just, when you've lived through what I've lived through you sometimes don't know who to trust."
"Are you saying you don't trust me?" She asked anger returning.
"No. I'm saying I didn't trust you at the time but then I realized if you could have killed me, you would have already." Harry said. Mary smiled. Harry got up and left leaving Mary to think.
'Everything would be easier if I didn't have these awful powers.' Mary thought.
I just had to show that friends do get mad at each other but remember when a friend yells at you they aren't thinking straight. Anyway thanks to: phoebelightning for reviewing.
