Change: Part 2
I open my eyes slowly, not really looking forward to facing the world yet after yesterday. I sit up and hug the crimson sheets to my pajama-clad self, not ready to confront the hard revelation he had created.
When we were naive young kids. we'd lay by the willow tree, the breeze caressing our skin, making stray hairs fly lazily around. We'd lay side by side looking at each other; two pale faces, of innocent green eyes and light freckles, and dark ebony eyes with the shy crooked smile. We'd tall about Hogwarts, this wonderful fantasy. To him an escape from home; to me an adventure and the later separation from Petunia. He had always assured me he'd be there to help me out in the new strange place, and he'd always be with me. I had promised my friendship to him and how we would always stick together and be friends.
Hogwarts came. Everyone seemed friendly, yet an aspect of this new society had affected me. Blood.
It was puzzling; how could so many bright, magical, intelligent individuals create discrimination in their world. A place where they said that all magical belong. A place where some, but many though they were supreme to the ignorant muggles.
They're wrong. They are no different than muggles. The way that they discriminate others for something trivial. Why should Blood matter? Everyone's Blood holds plasma and red blood cells and platelets. Discrimination for red blood cells? How unnecessary. Just like muggles, discriminating for centuries becasue of the quntity of melanin in the skin. Small biological features, causing a full-scale effort to rid the world of the "unworthy"? And they say how they aren't anything like muggles. Hypocrites.
How Severus had tangled himself with hypocrites like them confuses me. Upsets me. Hurts me. Had he despised non-magical folk from the start? Was that hateful belief always a part of him? It hurts to think so. That my best mate; the one who had shown me a whole new world, who had been by my side for so long, who had been a friend, had hurt me. Beyond his repair.
I don't know what to think about his dark ways besides the feeling of sorrow and pity for his corruption, and disgust. What had the hypocrites done to him? What had he done?
This world was a wonderful place. But this world was a terrible place. Filled with haters.
I cannot let what happened to me happen to anyone else. No more can deal with this discrimination. I cannot let it happen.
I won't let it happen. Because everyone deserves that right to be equal, no matter what Blood status you hold.
At the end, I don't think I could forgive him. After all the excuses I made for him. After all that. Maybe someday. But, I don't think I could.
I want fight. I will fight. Someday.
