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 >: ))

Detention? What sort of lies would one have to tell to warrent something like that?

[hero_complexed]

I've been spreading Nasty rumors that Voldemort is back and that he killed Cedric.

[ He looks back over at the destroyed tombstone. ]

Except that it's not a lie. It really did happen and I saw it.

[theycallhersunshine]

Then you shouldn't have carved that into your hand, don't you think? Unless it's some kind of ironic statement.

Is it? I'm so bad at identifying those.

[hero_complexed]

I didn't have a choice-my stupid teacher made me mad and because I spoke out against her she stuck me in detention and had me write lines-which didn't seem so bad at first but the quill she made me write with somehow cuts the hand open so that you're writing in your own blood.

[theycallhersunshine]

[Waggling a finger in front of his face.] Don't be silly, you always have a choice when it comes to self-harm.

[hero_complexed]

What was I supposed to do? Tell her no way? Show her that she'd won? She's one telling lies, not me.

[theycallhersunshine]

How does she win by you refusing to lie about lying? No matter the circumstances, the idea that an instructor in a place of power could be allowed to hurt a student is disgusting.

[hero_complexed]

She wins if I admit she's gotten to me. And it's not exactly possible for me to refuse is it? I was nearly expelled once and I don't want to give her reason to expel me.

[theycallhersunshine]

I would gladly take the expulsion, if I were you.

Don't you understand that she's won as soon as she's managed to make you start hurting yourself for her?

[hero_complexed]

I can't be expelled! If that happens I'll never be able to use magic again! I-I mean I-I suppose I could run away-my God father has a place I could stay.
