Okay, everyone, this chapter is kind of intense…..

But, good and bad news.

Bad news first: I buried my puppy today… : - (

Good News: I get to go tonight at midnight to go check out the premiere of P.O.T.C. 2, well, actually I'm not allowed to go, but my friends and I are sneaking out with one of their older brothers, who can drive, I just hope my mom doesn't wake up (her….wake-up? Yeah, right!)

Also, starting next week I am going to be volunteering at parrot refuge center for about five hours every couple of days, plus I just started a new story ((((CHECK IT OUT)))))) so updating is going to become every other day probably.

Also, read this b4 you read the chapter, if you don't know too much about heroin…..I didn't write it…so disclaimer on that and I don't own H.P. so disclaimer on that, too.

Also, I didn't write directly from what I read on this sheet, so it doesn't go PERFECTLY with these facts……..I've seen my brother on heroin more than once (Among other things) unfortunately it landed him in jail, but it gave me a topic to write about………..

What is it?

Pure heroin is a white powder derived from morphine, which comes from the opium poppy.

Like most other illegal drugs, it usually has other substances added to it (like oven cleaner or baby milk). That's why street heroin is usually a brownish white.

Because of this mix, it's difficult for a user to know how much heroin they are really using, which increases the chances of overdosing.

Users take heroin by smoking, inhaling or injecting the drug.

How does it make you feel?

Users feel contented, warm and happy, though it often makes you feel very dizzy, sick and itchy the first time you use it. Heroin is a very strong painkiller.

What are the health effects?

Heroin is very addictive - most people who use it end up hooked. They also find they need to take more and more of the drug to experience the same effects.

It's easy to overdose on heroine, which can cause a coma and/or death. Many users have died almost immediately after taking heroin.

Addicts struggle for years to kick the habit and often end up mentally scarred, depressed and suicidal. The drug methadone is often prescribed by doctors to help addicts recover.

If users share needles to inject heroin they risk catching infections like HIV or hepatitis, which can kill.

The substances heroin is mixed with can cause even more health problems.

The law

Heroin is a class A drug. You could face a seven-year prison sentence just for having some (possession) or if you're convicted of supplying it (selling or giving it to other people) the maximum prison sentence is life.

"Where did you get that?" Harry asked after several minutes of dead silence.

"Blaine gave it to me." Ginny confessed. "It's quite nice, baby," Ginny kept talking, not really knowing what she was saying, "You must be better with words on paper than you are with talking." She regretted what she said as soon as it came out of her mouth.

Harry walked away from the girls, an angry, almost hurt, look on his face.

"Harry wait! 'Ginny called after him, "Come back"

Ginny raced down the hall as fast as she could, when she reached Harry she grabbed his shoulder, but I didn't turn him around. "Harry! Don't do anything stupid!"

Harry turned round quickly, almost knocking g Ginny off her feet, "Where do you suppose he got that?" Harry demanded, "It came out of the only thing that was stolen from my room when it was torn apart."

"Well, maybe he got it before than," Ginny said, "You couldn't possibly think that Blaine is the one who tore our rooms apart!" Ginny got in front of him to keep him from going any further.

"Ginny, move." Harry asked of her.

"No, I am not going to move, because, Harry, if I do you are going to go off and do something very stupid." Ginny whispered, trying not to catch anyone's attention.

"No, I am not." Harry told her, defending his pride.

"Harry, please," Ginny whined, "just go back to your room and we'll talk about this…"

"Why?" Harry asked, "According to you I'm not good at talking." He pushed past Ginny and kept walking down the hallway.

"Harry that's not what I meant!" Ginny called after him. "I just didn't know what to say and I panicked!"

"You know what?" Harry asked turning around and walking back to her, "I'll make you a deal."

"What?" Ginny asked.

"I won't go beat the shit out of Blaine if you just leave me the fuck alone!" Harry started back up to his room, "In fact, I was supposed to leave for my Aunt and Uncle's in a couple of days, but I think instead, I'll be leaving in the morning."

"Good!" Ginny screamed, turning around and stomping all the way back to her room.

Harry wanted to scream' Yeah, good!' back, but he wasn't going to stoop down to that level.

Meanwhile, downstairs, Sirius, Lupin, and Molly were all sitting at the kitchen table talking about the advantages and disadvantages of some muggle game, called table tennis.

"Sirius," Harry entered the kitchen, still mad, "I want to go to the Dursley's tomorrow!"

"What?" Sirius asked, not believing what he was hearing. "But you hate the Dursley's!"

"I just have got to get out of this place!" Harry exclaimed.

"No offense, Mrs.Weasley, you have a very nice home." Harry added quickly.

"Well, Harry, if you want to I can bring you down there tomorrow around noon, after you work out with Lupin." Sirius told him, wondering why he could have this sudden change of heart.

"Harry," Lupin began, "Have you, by any chance, ever played table tennis?"

"HEY! Come back, I was serious!" Lupin yelled as Harry turned around to leave the room.

"No, I haven't" Harry yelled when he was half-way up the stairs.

When he got to his room, he locked the door and went straight to his bottom drawer. He tore out all of the clothes until he got to the shoe box they were hiding. He opened the box slowly and took out each item one by one, a photo album that Sirius had savaged from the rubble of his parent's house, an assortment of colored pencils, a small bag of heroine, a needle to inject it with, a birthday card from Sirius, and a knife blade.

Harry tossed everything except for the blade, the bag, and the needle, to the side. He took the needle and put the heroin inside of it. He took a deep breath and injected it into his forearm, he was still for a moment, then he began to feel dizzy, but dizzy in a good kind of way. He didn't know why he did this shit, but quite frankly he didn't care, all he cared about was the way it made him feel.

After about twenty minutes of that Harry rolled up his sleeve, and pressed the blade to his skin. The thick, red blood ran down his arm, just a tiny trickle at first, but it spread as he pressed the blade deeper and deeper into his arm. He did this several times in various places on both arms, for what seemed like hours, before he passed out.

"Harry." Ginny knocked on the door softly, it was two o'clock in the morning and everyone else was asleep. "Harry, I thought about what I said and I'm sorry."

When Harry didn't answer her she knocked on the door again and tried to door knob, unfortunately it was locked.

"Harry, I know your mad, but answer me" Ginny knocked again, this time a little louder and added, "Please!"

He was pissing Ginny off a little bit, so she used a simple unlocking charm and the lock clicked, which indicated she had been successful. Ginny pushed open the door and almost screamed at what she saw.

Harry was lying on the ground where he had passed out, blood everywhere, and a crimson red knife lade still in his hand.

"Harry," she whispered unable to move, when she finally got her legs back ran over to him.

"Harry," she cradled his head in her lap, "Harry, wake up." She sat there for a minute, just holding him. When it finally hit her how bad he was still bleeding she jumped up and pulled a towel off of the bed, she wrapped it tightly around his right arm, which was bleeding worse. After five minutes or so, Harry woke up.

"Ginny?" he asked groggily, then when he realized what was going on he sat up quickly, ignoring the sharp pain in both of his arms. "Ginny? What are you doing here? What the hell? I know that I locked the door."

"Shhhh……I unlocked it with a charm." Ginny told him quietly, "It's two o'clock in the morning, what the hell did you do?"

"Gin," Harry turned so he was facing Ginny head on, "You have to leave." His voice was beginning to get panicky. "I have to go with Lupin to the gym in three hours. I need to get cleaned up.You have to go!" he could barely even focus, someone had just found out his biggest secret, and not just anyone, but his girlfriend.

"No," Ginny grabbed his arm when he tried to stand up, making him cry out in pain and fall back to the floor. "Oh, sorry, I'm not leaving. Come here." He stood and followed her to the bed.

"Gin, no." he complained.

"Shut up and go to sleep and don't worry I'll take care of Lupin in the morning." She assured him.

For some crazy reason he gave into her and laid down on the bed. Ginny gave him a kiss on the cheek and laid down next to him, though she didn't get any sleep that night.

After three hours of lying there, near tears the whole time, Ginny heard Lupin knock on the door.

"Harry," Lupin knocked again, "Harry, your late, we have to hit the gym, c'mon."

"He's sick." Ginny jumped up and ran to the door, "Yeah, he's sick Lupin." She said opening the door just enough to let her head peek through.

"How is he sick?" Lupin asked, knowing something was up, "He was fine when I talked to him yesterday."

"Yeah, well," Ginny thought of an explanation quickly, "He had a rough night last night, we fought and he didn't get any sleep because he was busy trying to apologize to me and now he is sick. I feel horrible about the whole; now please don't make me feel any worse." Ginny was amazed at her lying skills.

"Okay," Lupin told her, "I'll give him the day off, but Sirius thinks he's picking Harry up soon and escorting him over to his Uncle's."

"I'll deal with Sirius when he comes." Ginny told him and smiled, "Thanks." Then she shut the door in his face.

"Ginny?" Harry asked.

"Yeah, babe, it's me." She said, rushing over to where he was laying, "How do you feel?"

"Like shit." Harry told her honestly.

"Well, we've got a problem. Lupin came by here a minute ago and I told him you were sick, in a couple of hours everyone is going to wonder why you aren't at breakfast and Sirius thinks he is taking you to your uncle's." Ginny was pacing the room.

"Sit down," he told her, "I'm fine, I can make it to breakfast without doing anything drastic, I didn't take that much, really I'm fine." Harry finished, standing up.

"Yeah, I'm sure you are." Ginny said sarcastically, "Look at this," Ginny pulled Harry's sleeve up, exposing his deep, red scars and raw skin that covered his arms, "Your cutting yourself and doing heroin, this is not the guy who asked me out a month ago."

Harry tried to stand up and fell right back down.

"See? You even can't stand up!" Ginny whined and helped Harry stand up straight, "Harry, this is not good, not good at all."

"Gin, I'll be fine." Harry told her, supporting himself by leaning against the wall.

"Whatever, we need to get you cleaned up." Ginny walked over to the bathroom, "Your getting a shower."

Harry tried to walk over to her, but he wasn't able to get his balance and he hit the ground again, hard, landing on his arm."Damn." He swore loudly.

Ginny walked over to him and pulled him up, but he pulled away from her, his mood changing rapidly.

"Fuck, Ginny. I can take care of myself." He half walked half crawled over to the bathroom and shut the door. After a minute Ginny heard the shower start.

Ginny heard him fall several times before he finally came out with a towel around his waist. She knew it wasn't the right time to be thinking about it, but he looked really hot.

"Gin?"

"Yeah, babe?"

"I'm sorry I yelled at you earlier," Harry told him, another one of his little mood swings.

"It's ok," Ginny told him, "but when you get to your normal state, we're going to have a very long talk. Now, get dressed."

Right as Harry finished pulling on all his clothes, Molly yelled up the stairs,

"GINNY! BREAKFAST IS READY! AND BRING HARRY WITH YOU, LUPIN TOLD ME HE WAS SICK AND I WANNA CHECK HIMOUT!"

Damn.
