All of these angry, wretched thoughts poured into my mind, my inheritance waiting until I was done ranting. My inheritance, by the way, was power beyond all control. Even worse, that power was fueled by anger. Although, happiness controlled it, but I had no happiness, so what's the point? It burst out in the hallway, no one was there, except for two teachers pointing at me and whispering. All h*ll broke loose that day. Ronald Weasley was in the hospital wing for weeks. Honestly, even now (this is futuristic me talking) I still think he deserved it. But then I hurt Malfoy, some girls from Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw too. I'm a monster! A horrible, terrible, monster. The two teachers were unconscious. Gryffindor table were all knocked out at breakfast. I crumbled in my only safe spot. In the black lake. I'm able to breathe underwater. I've ruined everyone! Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, even my own housemates. I just curled up in a crevice and cried. I didn't want this to happen. What if I just kill myself? Then no one would be hurt anymore, and I would be free of my misery. I couldn't drown, couldn't burn, but the kitchen has knives! I went to the kitchen that night. I grabbed a knife, walked out of the hallway (the house elves didn't deserve to see this.) and stabbed. Right in the chest. I was unconscious, but then I saw a woman hovering over me. "Is this heaven?" I asked the woman. "No, I'm afraid not, Miss Greengrass. This is the hospital wing." She replied. No! I couldn't keep living! I was a monstrous excuse for a human being! I tried to get out of bed, but I just couldn't. Then I saw Dumbledore and Harry Potter in here too. They would never let me out. I'm going to be stuck here. Harry walked over. "You're welcome for saving you from yourself." He said. "You?! I was trying to kill myself for you!! And the rest of Hogwarts, but a lot of it was you and Ginny!" I screamed back at him. "Wait-you tried to murder YOURSELF?! Why?" He asked. "Because I'm a monster, Potter. You should know. I knocked out your whole house in one hit. I put two teachers in comas!" He stared, mouth agape. "You-you-it's been you this whole time?!" "You act like I wanted all of this to happen! I didn't want to have to attempt suicide!" But then the nurse shooed him out, and I was put to sleep.
