[Video] Confessions of a Paranoid Wizard: Act 1

[sonuvasnitch]

PRIVATE TO SIRIUS, JAMES, REMUS, and LILY

[ Harry comes on the screen looking like a mixture of determined, sad and sick. He's been missing from the hospital since 11/29 and is just now trying to make contact. He's outside somewhere but it's hard to tell where exactly he is. At least he looks warm. ]

I need to talk to you.

Harry...

[Have a look of relief followed by one that's less-than-pleased. Running away from home is not okay.]

Where are you?

[Video]

[sonuvasnitch]

[ Harry shakes his head. No he's not going to tell you where he is, and since all you can really see is white and trees you really don't have a lot of clues to go off of. ]

Sorry, but I can't tell you that. I just wanted to tell you I'm sorry.

[ Though for what exactly is up for grabs. But considering he did recently jinx you into the snow when you were trying to help it's not too hard to assume what. ]

[Video]

[black_dogstar]

It wasn't your fault.

[Really, he doesn't blame you at all.]

[Video]

[sonuvasnitch]

Yeah, it was. I should have been able to stop myself.

[ Yeah he's probably giving himself more credit than is deserved, but still it hurts that Harry hurt people he cares about. Some more than others. ]

[maraudingprongs]

Harry.

Where are you.

[He's dead serious. He's noticed Harry's things missing.]

[sonuvasnitch]

[ Harry smiles when Jame's returns the call. He's not surprised his dad would ask the exact same question Sirius had and in nearly the same tone. ]

I can't tell you that.

[Video]

[maraudingprongs]

Think you can, actually.

I'll look all week if I have to, Har. And it's bloody cold out, so I'd prefer you just tell me now.

[Video]

[sonuvasnitch]

It's okay, really, I wont be outside for long.

[ Though if he does land in jail who knows what those conditions would be. ]

[wolfbaned]

H-Harry! [Have an incredibly relieved Remus. He won't press the youngster like his friends quite yet. He's just too damn happy to see Harry is safe after all this time. It may have only been days, but it has felt like weeks, if not more.]

Oh, thank God, we've been worried sick.

[sonuvasnitch]

[ Yup and that's exactly the reaction he would have expected from Remus. He smiles softly but there's no real happiness in it. ]

I'm sorry I worried all of you.

[wolfbaned]

[He shakes his head immediately.]

Don't apologize. [Remus can certainly relate to that desperate driving need to get away from people when things turn rotten, mostly when he himself is to blame. There are many times he knows (or at least convinces himself) that his friends and family would be so much better off without the burden of a werewolf in their lives, so much happier if he was to just disappear. He may not completely understand the situation that Harry's gotten himself in to, but the feeling is definitely one he can relate to.

He understands Harry needs his space. It wasn't the best of ways to leave, especially considering how protective James and Sirius were of the boy, but when you need to leave, sometimes you just have to go right then.

Remus blames him for nothing.]

Just tell me what I can do for you.

[sonuvasnitch]

[ The smile on Harry's face is definitely sad when he responds. ]

Just keep Dad and Sirius from doing anything dumb.

[ Isn't that the most hypocritical statement of the century? ]

[gryffindoe]

Harry, what's going on? Why are you outside? [Lily holds back a lecture on catching Pneumonia or the like. She needs to hear him out.]

[Video]

[sonuvasnitch]

[ Too late for that, the sickness of the past two weeks was bad enough. ]

I'm heading somewhere, I just wanted to speak with you first.

Sorry I worried you mum.

[Video]

[gryffindoe]

[This will not do.]

Alright, then. Speak to me. Tell me where you're going?

[Video]

[sonuvasnitch]

[ Harry smiles sadly then. Sorry but if James' couldn't get it out of him no one will. ]

I can't tell you that, but I promise it'll be okay.
