I Quit
Part 1
"We're here to pick up Harry," Remus said.
"Well he's not here," said Uncle Vernon. "He's at work."
"Where?"
They walked up to a dumpy looking place where they apparently fixed cars. There, in the front, was a really flashy red car where someone was underneath, their legs sticking out from underneath.
"Hey Jake this guys carburetor is totally shot. He's going to need a new one," Harry yelled pulling himself out from under the car. He noticed the people there and decided to just tell them. "I'm not going back. I quit."
"You quit? You quit what?" Remus asked walking over to him as Harry pulled himself out from under the car.
"I quit everything. I quit believing in Dumbledore's stupid lies and being so naïve. I quit moping about everyone I killed and I quit listening to everyone telling me it's not my fault. Like I really care if it is or not. It doesn't change anything. And finally, I quit school. I'm not going back with you; there isn't a point. I quit being a wizard. I'm going to work here before sending myself to art school. Lovely story ain't it?" asked Harry sarcastically as he picked up a stack of papers.
Everyone stood silent for a moment as Harry ignored them. "Where's my new carburetor?" he yelled to the back room. "You wanted me to help, just get me the damb pieces," Harry muttered to himself leaning against a counter.
"Harry you can't quit being a wizard, or school for that matter. It's part of who you are," Remus said.
Harry turned to him looking angry but not looking anyone in the eye. He looked up at Remus. "How would you know? You have no idea who I am."
"Well even not knowing you I know that you're a wizard and it's not something you get rid of. Harry you have to come with us."
"I don't have to do anything. For the first time in ...forever. I'm actually having a good time without something-bad happening. I don't have to go through with the stupid prophecy if I don't want to."
