Tired [Active, Open]
WHO: Harry Dresden
LOCATION: by the lake
WEEK: 56
TIME: Late afternoon
WHAT: Harry's backsliding after the fear week
RATING: E for Emo
Harry was tired. Tired of guilt, of fear, of being abandoned, of being useless. He should have helped more last week, he was trained in how to fight Boggarts, and yet he hadn't done much beside give useless advice over the journals. He should have been able to help his loved ones, but most of them had taken off already anyway.
He should have been able to forget what he saw with the Boggarts, but he couldn't. They had shown him his fear, yes, but they had also shown him a very real possibility. He knew deep down how easily he could become the monster they had shown him. That realization made him wonder if he didn't belong to Azkaban.
These last few months had felt like a dream, like he was finally escaping the nightmare of his past.
Maybe it was just time for him to wake up.
So he sat on the grass and tossed his stones, and hoped everyone just forgot about him. They would be a lot better off.
