Defiant Destiny
Prologue
There he was again, standing at the lakes edge as the moonlight washed over him, he stood with complete stillness as if time had forgotten this one place, leaving it in its perfection.
Everything appeared to be so peaceful, not a single ripple disturbed the water, it was as if the scene before had frozen, not a gust of wind moved a single blade of grass, not a single ant moved by our feet, nothing but the sound of night.
Even with the stillness surrounding him I knew of the inner turmoil that currently was destroying him inside out. But he was just so used to it, as used to it as he was used to seeing the sun rise and set. I doubt that he'd miss it if it left but he'd feel so much better if it did.
He was our saviour, the worry and responsibility that came with that was a stranger to me, I could never know the extent of it and neither could any one else, he stood there triumphant and alone. He's always been that way … alone and I pray that one day I will be the one to make it different.
I come here to watch him each and every night, I take in his beauty and I urge myself to take a step closer to him, step out of the shadows and call out his name but I can never bring myself to do it, not yet, it's too soon. Besides, he'll never except me, he's so much better than I am, I can't help that it's the just the way that it is and I have to except that and move on.
It is as I watch that something out of the ordinary happens, something that breaks the peaceful surround that I watch him enjoy, I curse whatever it is before I even see it, I know full well this is all the peace that he gets, no one and nothing should have the right to disturb him. But then I see it.
A swirling mist of bright colours, I see him turn, a look of pure terror on his face, even he, Harry Potter knows nothing about this and that scares me, it scares me more than anything else has ever managed.
I turned tail and ran, I wish I could say I was doing the honourable thing and going to get help but that would lead to awkward questions like why on earth had I been watching Harry in the first place, I'm not ready for such questions so I run and I continue running until I'm safely back inside the castle.
Before descending into the dreary dungeons that I call home I cast a look back out into the grounds just in time to see the mist fade and a young girl appear huddled on the ground. I see Harry running to help her but I don't risk watching him further, teachers will arrive soon and I don't want to get involved, I leave, it is a cowardly thing to do but I did it.
