The uncertainty was driving him to distraction. He knew what had to be done but, would they still want him when it was over? Everyone was expecting him to kill the bad guy. Like he was some kind of hero or savior? Isn't that what they called him The Savior of the Wizarding World? The pressure to perform to everyone's expectations was staggering, but it was something he had accepted a long time ago.

I took a walk around the world To ease my troubled mind I left my body laying somewhereIn the sands of time But I watched the world float To the dark side of the moon I feel there is nothing I can do, yeah

What really drove him crazy was the thought that when it was all over they wouldn't need him anymore. That he was nothing more than a tool to be used then thrown away. After being used and abused his whole life he found it hard to trust anyone completely. The wizarding world had already made it clear that as long as he told them what they wanted to hear, they would listen.

I watched the world float To the dark side of the moon After all I knew it had to be Something to do with you I really don't mind what happens now and then As long as you'll be my friend at the end

He needed to be accepted so much. To have friends, family. People who would love him unconditionally. Hermione and Ron helped to ease the ache he felt inside whenever he felt to alone. There support and friendship could get him through the worst sort of adventure. Through thick and thin they'd always been there. No matter how many times he'd push them away they always came back. Something he was grateful for.

If I go crazy then will you still Call me Superman If I'm alive and well, will you be There a-holding my hand I'll keep you by my side With my superhuman might Kryptonite

Even if he knew in his mind that they would always be there, he still had nagging doubts. He couldn't help but remember that time in 4th year when Ron had been jealous. Without Ron on his other side it was like a piece of him had been missing. Hermione had been there but needed both his best friends to shield him from the world.

You called me strong, you called me weak, But still your secrets I will keep You took for granted all the times I never let you down You stumbled in and bumped your head ,If not for me then you'd be dead I picked you up and put you back On solid ground

The world wanted him to do what they couldn't. Why they all believed a teenage boy still in school could kill a Dark Wizard was beyond him. Every time he was praised in the papers he was on pins and needles waiting for the the other shoe to drop. He wanted it all to end but, at the same time was afraid of the outcome. Would they still want him even though he would be a murderer? Or would everyone be so overjoyed at the death of Voldemort that they would forgive him whatever he had to do.

If I go crazy then will you still Call me Superman If I'm alive and well, Will you be there a-holding my hand I'll keep you by my side With my superhuman might Kryptonite

All he could really think about as it grew closer to the final battle was would they still put him on a pedestal or would he fall from grace? As he walked out for the final confrontation Hermione was on his left and Ron was on his right and a wave of peace washed over him and in that moment he knew. Knew that no matter what the world said he would always have them by his sides. They were his other halves after all.

If I go crazy then will you still Call me Superman If I'm alive and well, Will you be there a-holding my hand I'll keep you by my side With my superhuman might Kryptonite
