Chapter 7 : Something lingers here.
Prelude
What about the place we call home
See devil on doorstep now
My oh my
Telling everyone how to live their lives
Time is ticking and we can't go back…
There's never been so many
You washed your hands
You come out clean
You fail to recognize me
And the meaning within
One step forward
Making ten steps
My oh my
Lining for the grand illusion
No answers for no questions asked
It is in our darkest moments in which we find the light we so long needed.
Transfiguration with Gryffindors was unbearable. The snickers, pranks and the insults were non-gratifying. I also, did not like needles. My hands shook as I gripped my wand. The incantation was wobbled and murmured, it worked still the memories came gradually like a horror film.
My hands were bandaged after that class. I could still see the blood stains. They stare at me now, like a criminal or a lunatic.
'It's magic!' I want to scream or, somehow my body really hates me for some unknown reason, but that would be further lunacy.
"Potter."
"Go Away Malfoy" I growled.
He was another thing altogether. Ever since the Hospital Incident, he's been trailing after me with questions.
"Right and those bandages on your hands is merely an imagination of mine?" he retorted sarcastically.
"What Malfoy? What d'you want from me?" I called back angrily. I was sick of it all, and the memories and what I was.
I ran off in a blind daze. I was back….and it still hurt.
"What About the world today…
And we've never been so alone
You keep watching from a picket fence
keep talking but it makes no sense
You say we're not responsible
But we are
We are.
Lining up for the execution
And not knowing why
I ran into a nightmare. It was a creature but my reflection in a puddle of blood. Death invaded my senses and it was too much.
So what if it was just a dead black cat. When the screaming came and the footsteps of people came, it was only Dumbledore's call for silence that saved me from the hanging.
So what if I was being led again to his office in subdued silence with all the portraits whispering as if I couldn't hear or see them?
Did it matter to say "it wasn't me!" because Dumbledore knew it wasn't, he knew that the Shadows that had followed from birth were coming for their due.
It broke his perfect plan.
Place so holy
That I could wash this from my mind
Memory of choosing of two fights
If it takes my whole life
I won't break
I won't bend
It'll all be worth it
Worth it in the end
When the stars have all burned out
Cast me gently,
Into morning
For the night has been
Unkind.
I couldn't return to the Tower at all. I didn't and stayed walking around the castle regardless of who might find me.
It was around midnight when he found me. He was the largest shadow in my life. He still haunted me with a somber attitude, not pitying, but still regretting. He tried to save me what had to come, but he couldn't and he still can't.
"Potter."
"Here to play 21 questions too?" I murmured cynically. He wasn't perturbed, he hardly is.
"What have you come to say? I know he's out for me, he's always been out for me, not only Voldie cakes but him. You let me stay there knowing what would happen." I ranted quietly, "So shut up I don't want to hear it, you couldn't save me, and really aren't I supposed to save myself? Isn't that part of being "The Boy-Who-Lived"?
"So I suppose you won't tell me why you hurt yourself with those needles?" he replied in equally sardonic tone.
"I didn't ask you to be my keeper, I was having a flashback, and lost control for a few moments." I ground out
What have you done
This isn't some kind of joke
You'
And when the world's its knees me
It's fine
Everybody seems to be getting what they need
Where's mine?
cuz you're what I need so very
But im anything but ordinary
I think im trying to save the world for you
You've been saving me too
" Potter, you should.- "What? You couldn't save me from myself alright! He yelled, " It's too late…it's something I have to do on my own." He whispered softly looking out of a near by window.
The silence reigned for awhile, each immersed in their own thoughts.
"He's here. The cat was no mistake. Be Careful." The man whispered into the 'emptiness' and walked away.
Another creature from beyond the wall grinned sinisterly. The gamehad officially begun.
And this is how, you remind me
Of what I really am
This is how, you remind me
Of what I really am
It's not like you to say sorry
I was waiting on a different story
This time I'm mistaken
for handing you a heart worth breaking
and I've been wrong, i've been down,
been to the bottom of every bottle
these five words in my head
scream "are we having fun yet?"
End of Chp.7
