Stepping over the Edge

"If it had been someone else, maybe they had been pushed over the edge earlier, but that doesn’t matter. The fact is that this was my last push, the last thing that was needed to block me from the world." Is Harry able to handle Sirius death and the new about the prophecy? The answer is no.

"He knew that he wouldn’t be able to defeat Voldemort; he was just a kid after all, so if they meet again he would be the one who falls. But he wasn’t sure if he would let it go that way." Harry is back at Hogwarts, but the pain won't just go away.

“So we meet again, Harry Potter,” Voldemort said with was supposedly an amused expression on his face. To Harry it only made him look even lesser a human.

"They had been informed that the meeting would start as soon as Dumbledore arrived and that they wouldn’t be told anything before then. But since Hermione and Ron were there everyone already knew what this was about. Harry Potter."

Lucius only sniggered and kicked Harry hard in the stomach, making his subsiding cough increase yet again. “Oh, I wouldn’t call him broken. Just a little torn.”

“Enough with the games Tom,” Dumbledore broke the tense silence. “You know why we are here.”

“I don’t believe anything,” Harry answered calmly, “but I know I’ll kill you somehow.”

"But his young appearance would quickly fade if you took a second look for there was an aura around him that told that this was not a boy, but a man that had seen more than most, and who had dealt with more than should be allowed. His body shone with age and wisdom, like there was nothing that could surprise him anymore and that few would even dare to try."
