Spell 004 | Harry Potter |

[hero_complexed]

[ Harry's locked in a room where there are no definite doors and the walls are solid white aside from the very obvious writing all over the walls. He's holding a strange looking quill and blood is pouring from his hand as he's clearly written 'I must not tell lies' all over the room- walls, ceiling, and floor are covered in blood-red lettering. ]

[ He drops the quill and looks around again, in a far corner there's a tombstone and a freshly dug grave. Harry moves over to it to see who's grave it is, a sinking feeling in his stomach tells him he knows exactly who's it is. ]

Here lies Cedric Diggory. Died in a tragic accident

[ Harry stares numbly at the Tombstone as Anger starts to build, his fingers twitching to grab his wand. ]

'Has it sunk in yet?'

[ A sickening voice like poisoned honey sounds from all around the room. And before he's even aware of what he's doing Harry has his wand-]

Reducto!

[ The tombstone blasts into pieces. ]




(( No theme this time. Just depressing stuff that's on Harry's mind >: ))

[waterfell]

[She tries to think it's her imagination, but she thinks the walls are slowly turning bloodier, as if the act of bandaging Harry's hand has opened up wounds all over the room itself.

It makes no sense. She stares at one of the walls.]

It's impossible! [She shakes her head to pull herself out of it, maintaining some sense of decorum.] That must be what he's thinking. He isn't thinking about the future. Just about now. Just about not having to face it.

[hero_complexed]

He can't honestly believe that I would make something like that up. [ The more his blood boils the bloodier the walls become ]

[waterfell]

So, show him how wrong he is, and let him be the one to suffer for it... [her eyes drift to Harry's hand] instead of you.

[hero_complexed]

No! I don't want anyone to suffer. I just want everyone to acknowledge the truth. I'm sick of being called a liar, of people saying it was an accident-It wasn't an accident.

[waterfell]

['She'd never do that!' She had. 'It was an accident'. No, it hadn't been; and even if it had, that doesn't erase what was done.

She understands.]

However, if you're right, their destruction is at hand. Is that what you prefer?

[hero_complexed]

No! I wish it never happened! I wish I never got the idea to take the stupid cup at the same time! O-Or-Or That my name never came out of the Goblet of Fire!

[waterfell]

That can't happen. Even with the power to change time, the past won't be rewritten that way.

What you do is make a new future.

[hero_complexed]

I don't care about that right now! No matter what I do I get written off as a liar-or disturbed or-or someone that likes being famous. Why would anyone want to be famous for the reasons I am?

[waterfell]

[The answer is easy: Why care what they think? Especially when, with magic, their minds can be changed easily (well, perhaps not a wizard's mind; but a human's, so very easily; she knows from experience).

But somehow she doesn't answer that.]

They may be wrong, but if it's the impression they have, before you can change it you need to know why they think it.

[hero_complexed]

I know why they think that way-Fudge is an idiot and sacking everyone in league with Dumbledore. He's dividing the wizarding world kand making it all too easy for Voldemort to return to power.

[waterfell]

Then you should ask yourself if he has a reason to want that to happen. [It's not, precisely, an accusation; but an enemy without bad intentions is still an enemy working against you.]

[hero_complexed]

He's not on Voldemort's side he's just a git.

[waterfell]

You may need him out of your way anyway.

[hero_complexed]

I need him to admit the truth-and to get rid of Umbridge. I'm behind on everything, she insists I'm a liar and looking for any excuse to expel me.

[waterfell]

[Unforgivable, for a teacher to abuse the school that way.]

So you want to take her out instead? [The words could simply mean having Umbridge replaced, as Harry said, but something slightly darker may lurk behind them.]

[hero_complexed]

I want her gone, yeah. But Fudge won't get rid of her and I guess that's not Dumbleodre's call anymore.

[waterfell]

Then go to the ones who will listen. Use them.

[hero_complexed]

But they can't do anything. That's the thing.

[waterfell]

Then let them become more powerful until they can.
