Finally getting where I need to go! Okay first off I used two songs in this chapter Holding Out for a Hero from Footloose and He Lives in You from Lion King 2 though I tweaked it a bit. Second I'm not updating again until I get a review or two. Any ideas will be greatly appreciated. Just a short quick message is better than none. Please, please, please review!
Harry was keeping his eyes open for me he hadn't seen me since he saved me but he had the unnerving feeling he was being watched and sometimes he swore he someone staring around the corner watching but whenever they checked no one was there. It was infuriating to feel this way with no explanation. He tried several things to find out who was watching them with no success. Then Ron noticed something.
"I think its two people." He said.
"Why?" Hermione asked
"Well, when they're on the left they have green eyes on the right blue." He pointed out "But everything else is the same, maybe they're identical twins except for the eye color."
I was listening and rolled my eyes they were mismatched. My father thought they were my second best future besides my hair. I sighed silently; I didn't know how to approach them. I didn't like the fact that they were always together and never far apart from each other.
I didn't want them to feel like they had to be my friend. I just didn't want them to feel like they had to do it because someone said so. I didn't want to order them around. I wanted true friends not forced friends. Some I could trust with my deepest secrets and talk to about anything. How could I actually meet them without being to awkward or feel like a total idiot.
I ran to the Grand Hall, I often went there when I need to feel like I was free. I needed to dance. I did it often when I felt trapped or confused and now I felt both.
I started to sing one of my favorites.
"Where have all the good men gone?
And where are all the gods?
Where's the street-wise Hercules,
To fight the rising odds?
Isn't there a white knight upon a fiery steed?
Late at night I toss and turn and dream of what I need.
I need a hero!
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night!
He's gotta be strong, he's gotta be fast!
And he's gotta be fresh from the fight!
I need a hero!
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light!
He's gotta be sure, he's gotta be soon!
And he's gotta be larger than life, larger than life!
Somewhere after midnight,
In my wildest fantasies.
Somewhere just beyond my reach.
There's someone reaching back for me.
Racing on the thunder and rising with the heat.
Isn't there a superman to sweep me off my feet?
I need a hero!
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night!
He's gotta be strong, he's gotta be fast!
And he's gotta be fresh from the fight!
I need a hero!
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light!
He's gotta be sure, he's gotta be soon!
And he's gotta be larger than life!
Up where the mountains meet the heavens above!
Out where the lightning splits the sea!
I could swear that there's someone somewhere watching me!
Through the wind and the chill and the rain!
And the storm and the raging flood!
Oh, his approach is like a fire in my blood!
I need a hero!
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night!
He's gotta be strong, he's gotta be fast!
And he's gotta be fresh from the fight!
I need a hero!
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light!
He's gotta be sure, he's gotta be soon!
And he's gotta be larger than life, larger than life!
Larger than life,
Larger than life!"
I started to feel better when I heard the door open. To my surprise it was Harry and he was alone.
"Oh I'm sorry I didn't mean to disturb you." He said not recognizing me.
"No it's all right come on in." I found myself saying. I noticed he had tears in his eyes. He was in distress. "Where are your friends?" I asked without thinking.
"Matrar and Bellatrix ran into us and they were bored." They are having their um….fun."
I could hear the screaming. "Shut the door." I said covering my ears exasperated. "That's not fun it's cruel."
"It's what?" Harry's eyes were wide.
"Cruel," I repeated.
"Who are you?" Harry asked still shocked at my answer.
I didn't have an answer for that one. "I'm Seria." I finally settled on my name. Why was it is easy to talk when he was alone?
"I'm Harry." He said
"I know who you are. I've been watching you." I blurted out without thinking.
Harry stopped and looked at me with narrow eyes. Then smiled, "You have mismatched eyes, we were wondering if it was two people."
I blushed, "No it was just me."
Harry got down on his knees to mop the floor then I noticed he was obviously upset over something more than his friends being tortured.
"Harry are you okay?" I knelt near him. "You can talk to me. I won't say anything to anyone if that's what you want."
"I just found out my Uncle, Aunt, and Cousin were murdered." He said "They raised me since I was a baby. They didn't really love me but I still think I cared about them. Then last night He made me watch how my parents died in his memory."
"Oh I'm sorry. If it helps my mother was murdered when I was baby." I sighed "My father raised me alone."
"I don't know who I have anymore. Everyone I care about is being taken away."
"Those that we love that die never truly leave us. They live us."
"What do you mean?"
I smiled stood and started to sing and dance again.
"Night,
and the spirit of life,
Calling.
And a voice,
with the fear of a child,
Answers.
Wait!
There's no mountain too great!
Hear the words and have faith!
Have faith!
They live in you!
She lives in me!
They watch over!
Everything we see!
Into the water!
Into the truth!
In your reflection!
They live in you!
They live in you!
She lives in me!
They watch over!
Everything we see!
Into the water!
Into the truth!
In your reflection!
They live in you!
They live in you!
They live in you!
So wait!
There's no mountain too great!
Hear the words and have faith!
Have faith!
They live in you!
She lives in me!
They watch over!
Everything we see!
Into the water!
Into the truth!
In your reflection!
They live in you!"
Harry joined in on the last chorus.
"They/She lives in you!
She/They lives in me!
They watch over!
Everything we see!
Into the water!
Into the truth!
In your reflection!
They/She lives in you!"
Then I heard my name being called. "Oh I must go." I almost ran out then said "Harry if you need to talk to me I'll be nearby. I may not have all the answers but I have to two perfectly good ears." I smiled.
He nodded and said "I'll remember that."
I ran down the hall to where my father was looking for me.
