Chapter #6Harry follows Ron by: Numex After a few seconds processing what had just happened, Harry wasted no time and got up to look for his brother. His ... Little brother, he thought with a smile.
He followed Ron into the first years dorms and saw how the door closed in front of Ron's face. The redhead looked quite sorry for the situation of his new brother, and Harry approached him.
"I think you should go in Harry, after all you're his brother" said Ron looking at Harry, who just nodded and entered in the room, approaching to John's bed.
The room was bigger than his, but Harry noticed that one of the 4 beds in the room was further separated from the other 3. His brother's bed. His trunk was lying on the floor, all his clothes strewn on the cold slabs, black ink stained tiles, and John was there, crying in his bed. Harry felt something break inside him just by seeing his brother, part of the family he had always wanted and needed, suffer.
"What happened?" He managed to say Harry, while John looked up and stared at the raven haired boy as he tried to wipe away his tears.
"They Harry, Dave and Dan," John said, referring to his two most annoying roommates. "They have thrown my trunk and the ink, and they have stained all my clothes and my notes. They know that if I don't hand over the writing to Snape he will punish me, and you know how his punishments are" John sobbed again, looking at the ground.
Harry cursed to himself, apparently Snape was still the same as before. "John, look at me" Harry said firmly, making the first year look at him with a touch of curiosity "if they touch you again, or do something, you tell me, and I take care of them."
"Th-thanks" John muttered.
"And now, let's see what that writing was about, maybe I can help you finish it"
"R-really?" John said hopefully.
"You're my little brother, I'm going to help you" Harry said with a determined look in his eyes "and when we finish it we'll spend the rest of the day together"
The last words of his brother filled the boy's eyes with happiness. He quickly pounced on Harry and hugged him, sobbing into his chest, while the raven haired teenager hugged him back and comforted him, as a small tear trickled from his eyes. No one was going to touch his brother like that again. NOBODY.
Neither Potter noticed that, outside the room, Ron was watching the scene, and realized why Harry didn't want to leave. Ron had always had his brothers there, with him, and when he had problems he had always turned to them. He had never imagined life without them, much less without his parents. Over the years, Ron had come to realize what life was like for his best friend. No one wanted him before Hogwarts, everyone considered him some kind of freak, and he had never had a real family.
Now Harry had his parents, and a little brother. It was normal that he did not want to leave this world. He had always been an exemplary child, kind, good, and gentle, all impressive considering where he came from, this was actually the first time he had ever acted egoistically. He deserved this, he deserved someone who really loved him beyond his friends, he deserved a family.
Neville had had his family, he had his grandmother and uncles, who, although they were strict, had loved him and were now proud of him as well. His parents just ... weren't able to recognize his own son, so Neville wouldn't be harmed much, and certainly now he was more able than Harry to defeat Voldemort. Ron thought that Harry didn't deserve to go through what he had been through, and he couldn't forgive himself taking his best friend away from his family so that Neville could get back parents who couldn't even recognize him and a family who looked at him as if he was a disappointment. No, things were better this way, he slowly closed the door, and he walked away from him, leaving the Potters alone in his room and promising himself that he would do nothing to separate that family.
Later, that afternoon ...
"Wow, I'm sure Snape is going to be impressed with the wording, Harry" John smiled.
"Me too little brother" answered Harry "well, what would you like to do?"
"Well ... I don't know. I don't usually hang out with other people, I don't really have any friends" John confessed looking at the ground.
"What? why? You're amazing" Harry said sincerely, unable to not feel sorry for his sibling.
"Boys say that I'm an annoying brat and girls don't like me. When I make friends Dave and Dan come and bully them, and then they hate me, like everyone else" John sobs "is there something wrong with me Harry?"
"NO" Harry rushed to say "the problem is with them, not with you. They don't know how cool you can be, you just need ... To show them how awesome you are" Harry ended, as an idea crossed his mind. indicates the next chapter needs to be written. |
