Chapter 13: R McGonagall's Reaction
Authors Note: Thank you for the great reviews and to my brand spanking new beta Brit. Without here there would be very bad uses of the English language. Enjoy everybody.
"Yes Headmistress it's really me", came Harry's very weak reply that she all most missed what he had said entirely. Harry had been doing ok until they walked in to the McGonagall's office and then all his fears came crashing back all over again. Harry was glad that Draco was with him or he would have fallen apart at that moment.
Seeing Harry's obvious distress she motioned for Harry and Draco to take and seat. "Harry I just can't believe it's you we have all been so worried about you". "You left so abruptly after the war we had no idea whether you were badly hurt some where". It was like you just vanished out of thin air". Harry felt horrible he hadn't meant for so many people to worry about him but at the same time his anger was now bowling at McGonagall's speech that he just couldn't understand why all these people just didn't get it. Draco could see the anger that Harry was trying to hold in and if he didn't do something soon he knew Harry was going to snap at any minute. "Headmistress Harry has been through a lot shouldn't we be grateful that he's back now instead of upset that he left?" Asked Draco, he was beginning to understand now why Harry had not wanted to come back to Hogwarts. Everyone expected way too much out of him and he just couldn't handle it anymore. Harry was grateful for Draco trying to save him but he knew that McGonagall wouldn't let it go so he waited for the onslaught of questions to continue.
"Draco dear I don't think you understand though Harry didn't even tell us were he was he didn't even stay around for his own friends Funeral", came McGonagall's pensive tone usually she was much more friendlier than this but after seeing Harry she couldn't take that anger she felt for him just a banding everyone like that. At that Harry finally couldn't stand the site of this woman anymore he didn't give a shit who she was or what she thought at this point. "Listen professor", he didn't want to give her the satisfaction of using her new title as headmistress. "You have no idea why I left and you shouldn't be passing judgment on me for leaving if anything I should of you, I didn't see you out fighting the war beside me in fact I didn't see you out there at all". Harry was furious with her and before she could reply to his verbal onslaught he threw a few more barbs at her. "I left because I didn't want to be the person you all expected me to be anymore I was tired of and yes I left with out saying good bye to my friends but you have no idea how much that hurt me so don't you dare pass judgment on me you stupid bitch".
At that Harry got up and ran out the door, leaving a very stunned Draco and Headmistress behind. Draco however was also fuming mad he couldn't believe that the women who claimed to care about Harry would say those things now he could see why had left and he felt awful for dragging him back here. "You know what Headmistress Harry's right you are a stupid bitch you were so worried or so you made everyone believe but I guess that was a lie. "You have no idea the hell he's been through and is still going through so thank you for making it that much worse for him". With that Draco turned and walked out the door looking for Harry and leaving McGonagall
With her tears streaming down her face.
