The Boy In My Dreams

Chapter Two

Harry's POV

"You useless brat! Can't you cook decent food !? This tastes like garbage!!" Uncle Vernon yelled as he hit me with the food I cooked this afternoon for lunch. I hissed at the burning feeling on my skin, "I-am sorry ma-master.. I'll make another one... Please forgive me." I plead as I knell down. "I plead as he hit me again till I fell on the floor. "Sorry ?! Do you think your sorry could make it better ?! You can't even cook decent food! You want to kill us?!" He continues to hit me, "n-no, I w-wouldn't dare. Please forgive me..." I kept pleading, till I heard a squeaking sound, "This damned owl! Quit picking me! I'll kill you!!" I saw Hagrid shielded me from being hit, then he did the worse when he caught Hagrid. "No p-please, let her go. I promise I'll make better food, but please let her go." I begged, "Huft, this damned owl just makes you lazier!" Uncle Vernon roars as he tightens his grip on Hagrid's neck.

Snap!

There I see Uncle Vernon snaps Hagrid's neck, "worthless owl. We're eating out. You better clean this up. If it's not clear when we're back then there'll be worse!" Uncle Vernon said slamming the doors with the others as I stared at Hagrid's dead body. "N-no... Hagrid.. wake up.. please... Don't leave me..." I shake her body, but she's not moving, "HAGRID!! NO!!!" I cried out lauder mourning her death.

I took her body to the back hill where I buried her, then I ran till I can no more. I stopped on a big tree and curled up then cry more. "WHY ?! WHY DOES MY LIFE HAVE TO BE LIKE THIS ?! WHY ?! HAGRID!!" I cried louder, till I heard a voice saying,

"Hey, why are you crying? Are you alright ?" I feel him crouching but I just shake my head as I tremble and cried louder. The boy went panicked, "Hey... Are your parents here? It's alright, please don't cry." I was too busy crying, suddenly felt like someone hugged me. The boy hugged me till I relax, I feel safe I don't want it to leave, "please don't leave me...", I plead in his embrace. As I plead, I felt him pat my head, "Hey, I won't leave... It's alright... Mind telling me why are you crying ?" No one ever pats my head, they always hit me or just yell at me, "It's Hagrid... She's gone... Uncle snapped her neck because she shielded me when he tried to punish me..." " Is she someone special ?", he asked, "Yes.. she's my first owl and my best friend... Now I don't have anyone back at home..." I don't know why am I telling him what happened, but this boy, I feel like I could trust him, so I wailed more as he keep patting my head. "Don't worry I won't leave you. I could be your best friend. Now please stop crying, Hagrid will be sad if you keep crying." I heard him, as he wipe out my tears. "thank you..." I said, opening my eyes, then I saw his eyes, the eyes of charming mercury, and there's no pity, just gentleness, and it's so pretty. "so pretty" I heard him, "I mean your eyes. It's so beautiful and emerald green." He stumbled his words looking red. "I uhh thank you... No one ever said such a nice thing about my eyes before..." True, no one ever liked my eyes, they all said it's ugly and evil looking. "Then I'll be the first!" The boy exclaimed it made me chuckle, "thank you..." I thanked him as I smile, I never felt so happy,  it was always Hagrid who made me laugh. "What's your name? And don't worry I won't leave." He asked for my name, "my name is Ha-" But I wasn't able to answer, as I heard Ron's voice waking me up.

•In Present Time•

"Harry! Harry wake up! Mate! We're late for breakfast!" Yelled Ron yanking me up forcefully from my bed. "I'm up! Ron! I'm up" I said as I got up searching for my glasses and my wand. "Well, Hermoine is already waiting in front of the common room you know her, she'll nag us if we're late," Ron said as he rummaged for his necktie. "Fine. In a minute." I said as I took my bath and wore my robes, not forgetting to cast a glamour so that they won't see the scars. After I'm satisfied with the last glamour, I went out to pick up my bag and my scrolls, since we have potions today. As I walked, suddenly I feel dizzy, "Harry! Are you alright ?" I heard Ron as he got me from falling over. "Uhh, what? Oh yeah, I'm good, just a bit dizzy from your yelling." I sarcastically said,  but Ron didn't stop, "Sure you're alright? Your pale, Harry. You should stay for the day, me and Hermoine would cover-up." Ron said as he helped me walk to my bed. "I'm fine Ron, now let's hurry, we're late." I shrug and went out of the room, meeting the others in the common room.

"Morning Harry, where's Ron ?" said Hermoine as I walked down the stairs. "I'm here, Herm, and Harry for real, you should stay in bed," Ron said running down the stairs. Thank Merlins we're the last ones there, but it didn't escape Hermoine, "What ? Harry, you alright ?" she asked me worriedly, "He nearly fell and he's pale, tell him, Herm." Ron is a big mouth he is blurted out everything, "I said I'm fine! Gosh, we're late already!" I went out, leaving them, "Wait! Harry!" I heard them, but I just left. Even though I might not eat anything, still I got to go, I don't want their pity over me being weak.

•At the Main Hall•

As I reach the halls, "Harry! Wait!" yelled Ron, "If you both won't stop nagging I'm going alone. I'm fine, just a bit tired!" I yelled back, gosh getting worked up makes my head hurt. "Ugh!" I whimpered as I held my head, 'damn! why does it have to be now?!' I cursed as my pain got worse. "Harry! Gosh, what did say? You should've stayed in bed!" Ron told me as he got me before I fell. "I'm fine, you guys kept nagging it hurts my head!" I bit back, mentally cursing the pain, then I walk again, passing the main hall door. 

I could hear whispers and voices around the halls, including Hermoine and Ron's. As I walk to the usual table, the last thing I heard was Hermoine calling my name before everything went black, and felt like being carried by someone. I don't know why, his embrace resembles the hug that mercury-eyed boy gave me in my dream last night. Before I know it, I completely shut off.
