Hopefully this chapter is better than my last :P Let's get started :)
Harry took of his invisibility cloak and watched the drama unfold, it looked as if his pranking had worked, everything was chaos. When Harry got to the common room, he saw McGonagall dragging Fred and George out of the common room by their ears. Harry couldn't help but chuckle at there half amused half angry faces. Harry went to get changed whilst Ron questioned him about where he had been.
Harry went to breakfast with Ron and Hermione, they sat at the very end of the Gryffindor table. Harry still didn't want to be noticed. He was amazed when he noticed half the school was falling asleep and the other half had suddenly gone super hyper. He guessed Peeves was right about the drugs and was highly amused with how well his plan had gone. It was only then that he noticed Hermione was studying him, he turned away from her knowing she was too smart for his own good. It was at that moment that he saw Crabbe and Goyle doing the truffle shuffle, whilst Malfoy was trying to keep his eyes open. Harry decided to leave the Great Hall for his own good, playing innocent wasn't easy.
As Harry made it by the front doors of the castle he bumped into Fred and George. "Ah Harry just the man we were looking for." "We know." "Oh yes we know." "Brilliant plan we must say.". Harry tuned them out as he started to wonder if anyone else had figured out, well he figured Hermione had by now. But all he wanted was some fun, something he had so little of his whole life. By the time he had come back to his surroundings Fred and George had gone, he decided to go outside for a quick fag. Knowing he had to deal with Snape.
As he was walking towards the forbidden forest he saw Hagrid, he promised the half-giant that he would see him before the feast. Making Hagrid very happy. He then saw Victor Krum who was very amused by the chaos going on inside the castle, he also told Harry that he could talk to him if he ever needed to. He thought this was very kind of the Bulgarian, especially as he had killed his own classmate. As Harry sat by his favourite tree puffing his fag, he realised he would be going back to the Dursleys the next day. All this done was give him dread, he felt as if he had dived into the black lake and he actually knew what that felt like now. Realising he was going to be late for class he legged it back to the castle and down to the dungeons.
Harry managed to get to his seat just in time, to Snapes displeasure. He noticed that Snape looked angrier than usual, with a snarl that would usually make Hufflepuffs hide. Harry would probably guess his pranking had something to do with it, he smirked at managing to get his potions professor so riled up. It was only then that he noticed Snape was looking him straight in the eye, not for the first time he felt as if Snape could read minds. Suddenly Snape shouted "See me after class Mr Potter", Ron called Snape a bastard as Harry wondered if he knew.
By the end of the lesson Harry was 99% sure Snape knew, Snape was vanishing his potion approximately every five minutes for some mistake he had apparently made. He didn't care either way and it didn't really bother him, by the end of the lesson Harry was knackered the night before finally catching up with him.
As he went up to Snape he finally went numb, he loved this feeling. It was tranquility he felt at peace, so much so that he wasn't even taking in a word Snape was saying. As he came out of his reverie he realised Snape was shouting about the foolishness of pranks, so he knew then. He then realised Snape had said he could of got someone killed, well he had already done that numerous times self hatred started revolving around his head. "DO YOU UNDERSTAND" "yes sir" Harry automatically said "GOOD DISMISSED" Harry walked out of the classroom as fast as possible.
He realised he had missed break so wouldn't even be able to have a fag before charms class. As he sat next to Ron and Hermione in class he went numb, not even realising he had fallen asleep before long.
He was woken up by Ron poking him in the ribs saying something about divination, he decided he didn't want to go so went to go to his dormitory. When Ron realised Harry was going the other direction he stopped him asking where he was going, Harry explained that he was going to go sleep for a bit. He said he would see Ron at lunch, then they would go down to Hagrid's. As they had the rest of the day off to get packed and for the end of year feast. Ron seemed excited about going to see Hagrid and went off for divination.
Harry managed to get on his bed before he passed out. Luckily he didn't have any nightmares as he was so exhausted, he had always had nightmares but recently they had been so bad he avoided sleep unless he was drunk. Alcohol seemed to stop him getting nightmares, however this time he woke up with pain in his scar. He decided he would tell Ron and Hermione and then he would tell Dumbledore after the leaving feast. He checked the time and luckily lunch had only just started.
He decided to lean out the window and have a fag before they went Hagrid's, relieving the fear he had about his scar a bit. Deciding to spray himself knowing that otherwise Hermione will realise.
As soon as Harry got down to the great hall Hermione started a rant at him. "Harry what do you think your doing Fred and George told me you were the one responsible for the chaos this morning. You drugged us all I know, Goyle tried to fly off the astronomy tower without a broom." Harry replied smartly "Well he probably would of tried that either way." it was answered to a load of sniggers, by the Gryffindors who were listening.
Hermione had a look of shock on her face "I'm not finished with you. You've been smoking, the spray only makes it worse Harry. You know its really bad for your health, not to mention your teeth" Harry just gave her a frustrated growl. "Oh I'm not finished Ron told me you missed divination today, as well as the other day, you can't go missing classes" Ron gave an apologetic look towards harry "And don't think I can't smell the alcohol you don't even try to hide it, look..." Hermione stopped talking, Harry could guess she was about to say something about Cedric.
Hermione just looked up guiltily confirming Harry's suspicion. He looked up to see most of the Gryffindors and some Ravenclaws were watching them. He dragged Ron and Hermione out of the hall, towards an empty classroom. He told them about his scar hurting. Ron seemed scared, but Hermione just told him its probably normal now and he should tell Dumbledore. Then they went down to Hagrid's.
Hagrid really helped cheer Harry up and gave him some great advise. He was really pleased he had the half giant, someone who he could really count on. He felt in some ways, he was the only one who understood what he was going through. He left Hagrid's in good spirits and went up to the great hall, following behind Madam Maxine and the Beauxbatons. However the great feast just reminded Harry of everything that went on, Dumbledore's speech helped him a bit but he didn't like the attention on him.
After the feast Harry went to tell Dumbledore about his scar, but Dumbledore was already leaving. Almost as if he was trying to ignore Harry. Harry decided to chase him and tell him about his scar, Dumbledore just told him it was normal now and rushed off. On the way back to the common room, all Harry could think about was how much Dumbledore was disgusted by him. He couldn't even look him in the eye.
By the time Harry got back to the common room he was severely depressed, he just sat down and watched Ron and Hermione play chess. He thought about how disgusted Dumbledore obviously was with him, the disgusted looks he'd seen some Hufflepuffs give him. And what his parents would think. After a while he was bought out of his reverie by Fred and George handing out the last of there sweets, watching the craziness. He came up with an idea of what to do with his Triwizard money.
The happiness was infectious, soon Harry decided to enjoy his last night and play chess with Ron. As the end of year party started to go in swing he decided to go bed and get some sleep. He had a quick fag and ended up passed out, he was woke up by his recurring nightmare of the graveyard. All he could think about was Cedric's cold dead eyes, watching him, judging him in disappointment.
He felt terrible he closed his curtains around his bed, then quickly got out his potions knife. He decided to cut his thighs this time, two in a cross. He felt numb and elated. It almost felt as good as that time he flew on buckbeak. He relaxed for a good half hour.
He then decided to have a quick shower, remembering that he probably won't get that many at the Dursleys. Not long after he got in the showers Ron started calling for him. He was monumentally scared, that Ron had found out what he had done somehow. But it turned out it was because they had Astronomy, he had completely forgotten about that. He let himself go numb again. He got changed and went with the rest of his Gryfindor year, to the astronomy tower.
He passed the party and saw that now most people were comatose, by the drink. His classmates were suspiciously giddy on the way to the astronomy tower, he suspected they had a fair bit of alcohol. Even Hermione was a bit suspiciously excited for their lesson. He knew she liked school, but she usually weren't jumping up and down, skipping down the corridor because of a lesson.
Looking up at the stars just helped relax him more, his work was apparently really good according to his teacher. On the way back to the dorm he felt really at peace with the world, by the time he got back to bed he managed to get a good nights sleep.
