hrm. this could also probably be "confused". or "indescribable" ;) part of dorrito's every flavour mood beans.

There are some nights, cold and lonely, where he lets himself think that maybe he won't save them.

It's a tiny thought, tickling the back of his brain, and he's horrified when he realizes it is there. Voldemort, he thinks, Voldemort made me think that. But why, when Harry thinks it himself?

They mock him, and sometimes they ignore him, which is even worse. They're too concerned with themselves, with their images, with their power. Even Dumbledore is tarnished now, fallen, selfish and withholding.

They have let too many people die. They have let Sirius die. They can save themselves.

Last sentence. Best. Ever. <333

This is why I love the Potter. The guy's carrying the weight of a WHOLE SOCIETY on his back. He's dealing with every-bloody-thing he never expected he was to have/know/be, and if he DID tell them all to shove it… of course, our boy isn't going to do that. He's Harry.

exactly! he won't, because he's a hero, but no one can tell me that he doesn't think about it.

thank you!
