The Beginning
Harry was Running Down a Corridor while all the students were turning and whispering behind his back, he felt haunted – haunted by their whispers following him everywhere. Their accusing fingers always pointed at him, following him even into his happiest dream. Harry ran to get away, to get just a little pause from the burning glares always thrown his way. “Dumbledore Really should do something…letting a dark Lord roam like this” a Ravenclaw whispered, the Statement obviously not meant to be heard by Harry but as Always Harry heard and as Always, he hurt when hearing it. Harry’s heart was aching as he finally reached an abandoned Classroom and managed to get inside before breaking down against the door.
Tears were running down his Face.” why? “He whispered into the dark room. “I’ve always wanted to be what people weren’t for me in the past. I- I wanted to help…wanted to be there… I just wanted to be their Friend.” Another cry shook the young boy as he tried to wipe the tears with his sleeves. “Why does everyone in the School hate me now for being able to speak Snakish? Why do they hate me for protecting someone …. WHY would they think I am attacking the students!?” He let out an angry Cry while throwing his bag into the dark of the room.
Harry would Always say he was the farthest from a Dark Lord one Could think of, But the hole school called him That. At the beginning even Ron had said that it was weird. Well Ron did say sorry after and that it was a dumb thing to say but more likely because Hermione Scolded him than Anything else. Thinking about them made a small smile break through, he should go search them as they always made him feel better.
Harry needed light he couldn’t go out looking messed up like this or someone would laugh about it saying it was a tactic or Something ridiculous like that. “Accio my stuff” Harry whispered holding out his bare Hand to catch his bag when it came flying through the room. When it finally reached his Hand, he began Searching his wand Inside but then gave up halfway. He wouldn’t need it he decided. “Lumos” he whispered while quickly facing his palm away.
A bright light enveloped the room, and the small boy had to close his eyes because of it. Alright a little darker? Harry concentrated and after trying for a moment he managed, and the light dimmed down a bit. Harry had always been able to do little Tricks like these and it became even easier since he knew some incarnations to help channel his magic even more precise. If he was true to Himself, he could feel it feel magic in the Air and in every living thing, had wondered how it Worked, had wondered how it looked when it died….
He shook his head, he shouldn’t think about it. Shouldn’t think about doing that it would be evil to do that. He had promised himself to not try that without it being necessary, thought it would be such an easy thing to do . He knew what he was thinking wasn’t normal and he knew being able to easily cast wandlessy was also not really normal as well as talking to snakes apparently . He shook his Head again and then quickly left the room , leaving his thoughts be for the moment.
Later Harry lay awake he just couldn’t shake his thoughts from earlier. It had been a while since he thought about snuffing out the magic within a person, way too long his magic whispered . Harry sat up he couldn’t believe it. “Liar “ he whispered more to stop this thought then disprove it .
“Doing that is something a Dark lord would do” - people are calling you one… “but I’m not a Dark Lord “ - Who Says that you couldn’t be. Would it be bad? No one would Talk about you like THAT and you could be for them what you always wanted, could be for everyone… just a little different than you thought.
“I’m not A DARK LORD!” He shouted to get whatever it was to finally shut up. What it told had been way too much to his liking .
“ Hey Harry Mate you alright?” the curtains of is bed were being drawn back and Ron Looked at him , worry in his eyes for a second until he saw what was going on “ Woah all those People must be really getting to you mate. You wanna Talk about it ?”
“No Thank you, But I bet I can’t sleep tonight.” Harry feared if he did he would have that dream again
“We could always play a quick round of chess. I bet ill win once again “ Ron said Looking proud of himself for getting the idea.
“ Alright but I’ll bet on a Draw” Harry said getting up and walking to the Door “ Are you coming or you want to grow roots?”
Finally they were able to Settle down and start the round of chess both knew the result of. Ron as he always won. Harry as he still didn’t go for the win even if he could , he liked how proud Ron always got when he won .
“So mate you really don’t wanna Talk? It’s really stressing you out isn’t it?” Ron looked at Harry questionably as he took out one of his pieces.
“ Well I just can’t stand the looks. They’re whispering and pointing . I just can’t stand it ,You know?” Harry said Breaking a weak smile while making a halfhearted attempt of attacking Rons King.
The Fire was cracking in the Fireplace while the Game played out. It was a while before Ron spoke up “Harry mate you do know that sometimes you really seem distant like you are always thinking about everything? Sometimes it seems that you have goals far behind our comprehension. Sometimes I feel like I’m following you, like I am carrying out something you plan, I don’t mind… I suppose it’s just curious... Do you have those plans? “ He looked unsure of himself when he finally met Harrys Eyes.
For once it seemed Ron hadn’t planned out how to best ask this , but Harry immediately knew that the Question had been there for long. “ Ron… To be True I don’t have plans and well… I’ve been thinking and sometimes it really feels like you and Hermione follow what I suggest . But well if you ask me what I’m Trying to be, the answer would be a Friend, A Helper or something I suppose.” Harry answer Unsure if that was really all the Truth.
“ Alright That’s all I wanted to know. I don’t know why but I suddenly felt as if that was important, as if I had to know. It’s silly I Guess? “ The Redhead said while narrowing his eyes trying to find the best move “ woah your Playstyle did a complete Tun’round right there”
“ what no it didn’t ?” then harry looked at the Board and Cursed he hadn’t meant to make those moves but now he was only one turn away from capturing Rons King.
“ Nah mate so I was damn right all along you did hold back! Unbelievable and don’t start with luck now Alright? I finally wanna have a worthy opponent that beats me if I screw up”
“ Ok, Ok you got me I’ve been secretly training and wanted to surprise you sometime “ Ok nope bad answer Harry couldn’t even believe that himself and he could see from the raised Eyebrows and the Mumbled if you say so That Ron didn’t either.

After their at the end pretty heated Chess game The Green Eyed Boy was again Laying in his Bed alone with his thoughts. His Mind had again landed on Dark Lords and what even made them what they are. Well First of they always wanted to Achieve something and used all matters needed for it. And then They also had Followers… Followers shit!
What had Ron told him not even an Hour ago? He felt like he was following him, felt like he had plans which Ron would carry out for him. What had Harry answered? That he does have a goal, not a cruel one by any means but a Goal nonetheless. People had been calling him a dark Lord, had they been right? Was Harry really set on becoming a dark Lord ?
No he couldn’t be, he could never be like Voldemort right? But maybe dark Lords don’t have to be cruel like that? Yes If he truly is a dark lord then he would show everyone that they don’t have to be cruel. With that he finally went off into the land of dreams. While he went his magic made a small acknowledging hum and then also settled to rest for now.
Harry woke up to the rest of his Dormmates getting ready for Breakfast. He groaned while he tried to gather his thoughts. Then the last thought he had before falling asleep came to his Mind and he just groaned again. The thoughts sadly were pretty logical. He got up and pulled the curtains back revealing the Familiar Room with familiar people in it.
“ Look someone finally woke up from their Princess Sleep” Seamus called and grinned
“ Oh come on Seamus you also just woke up” Dean called him out while hitting him on the back of the Head
“ Must you all always make such a big commotion outside the Bathroom!” Neville shouted from inside the Bathroom as Seamus and Dean were Blocking the Door once again.
“ Common on guys make way for Princess Harry “ Ron said Shoving The two Door blockers to the Side
“ What I’m Not a Princess Ron!” Harry shouted Confused and also still not fully awake
“ Sorry mate but you slept like one” Ron Whispered to Harry “ Now make way Peasants! Princess coming Through”
When Harry then made his way to the Bathroom Dean and Seamus quickly got out of the Way and Bowed while calling “Princess”. Harry then Quickly got in while Neville held The door open for him.
When The door Fell shut and Harry was Alone a grin Appeared on his Face, he had really liked to see the others Bow like that. Followers of dark lords bow to them right? Well there he had it Decided. He could always try it and Leave it be later if it didn’t work .
After He was Done Getting Ready They all Headed down to the Common Room where Hermione was already waiting for them.
“ What took you Boys so Long?” she Said when finally looking up from the book she was reading.
“ We had to wait for Princess Harry to wake from his beauty sleep” Ron answered immediately, while the others nodded along seriously.
“It’s very important to accommodate to the needs of our Princess” Seamus said and the others just nodded along very seriously
“ Oh come on guys!” Harry said with a big smile and began dragging a giggling Hermione to the great Hall.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________
Hermione had asked Harry at Breakfast if he was able to talk with her later and Harry had agreed to meet her in the Library Before Dinner.
Harry had also noticed that all of the comments and whispers didn’t affect him as much anymore. He was starting to really like this decision he had made and he supposed he would just roll with it all.
When harry finally reached the corner where Hermione was already waiting for him, he was starting to get a little nervous as he still didn’t know what she wanted to talk about.
“Harry there you are” she called while jumping up from her Armchair and then dragging him into the corner. “ You know you don’t have to answer okay? Theres just some stuff I wanted to tell you as I’ve been worried. Like even Ron is a little worried about you so somethings definitely wrong.” Now she looked up to see if he wanted to tell her or wait until she proposed her thesis about what is wrong.
“ As you probably already know it’s the people calling me a Dark Lord, but…” He couldn’t even continue as Hermione shouted : I Knew it! with a sparkle in her eyes.
“ Sorry” she said while getting red as it wasn’t like her to shout, even less in the Library “ Harry now listen closely ok? Me and Ron will always be your Friends even if you can speak to snakes it’s not important to us. Hell I think we would still be your Friends if you became a Dark lord or a Flubberworm. Well the point is we will stay your friends and none of us minds it. For us its just another part of who you are, so the others opinions don’t matter alright.” When she was done she looked at Harry to see how he reacted.
Harry had known not to interrupt her as the Monologue would have only gotten longer, but he was happy to hear her say this Stuff as it only confirmed his decision to be good. He knew she had some of the Stuff as a half Joke but there was some truth in there.
Hermione cleared her throat and Harry noticed that he had not answered her yet. “ Thank you ill take it to heart. I’m already Ignoring it as best as I can and I’m not as bothered anymore. Oh, and if I become a Dark Lord I’m going to take you by your Word “ Then Harry broke a smile but if you looked closely you could see promise clearly in his eyes”
“ Do that if you ever need it “ she gaining an Idea as to why Harry wasn’t as bothered anymore and what she had assigned herself to.
