The Boy who lived and the boy who lives

Chapter 17

Danny POV

You know those days where its a misty morning, and you got nothing better to do than take a stroll? I had one of them. The thing about being in another country is that the people look different, sound different, and totally have a different culture, but besides the point; its just like being in Illinois. Its that morning rain smell, where you breathe it in and got that feeling in your chest knowing everything is gonna be all right, even though you're ninety percent sure it wont be at the end of the day, but what the hell.

So, how did I decide to go on a 'stroll'? you ask. Well, I wake up. Not like peaceful sleeping beauty style. No, Its is the revamped version of 'It LIVES' for me. Malfoy knows exactly what I am talking about. Hehe-So back to waking up. I get dressed, buttoning up my shirt. I throwing on my hoodie. I head out of the dorm room. Shaggy looking, morning bed head, needs at least two espresso shots before has fully awaken Danny Potter,

"Danny, It's about time you got up." Malfoy said, he was sitting on the arm of the couch in the common room. 

"Yo" I said in a grumble, Goyle the body guard waved at me, I mock saluted back.

"Where are you headed anyway?" Malfoy poked, knowing its a Saturday probably wanted to hangout or something.

"Out, What time is it?" I asked, scratching my head. Malfoy looked over to the clock, squinting 

"10:23, you missed breakfast so that means you will have to wait for lunch." Malfoy shrugged. I nodded and headed up the stairs. I went over to where Hagrid lived, deciding to talk to him. He was a gentle giant, literally, he's the nicest person ever. Okay, besides my brothers friends, and my own in Amity...

I walked down the pathway; looking at the morning mist from the lake as it slowly creept itself onto the land. What possessed its intent to try and make its way to school was beyond me. I walked father down the path, before I noticed my brother. He had wandered into the 'Forbidden forest'. This peaked my interest. Deciding to follow him instead of have some tea with Hagrid.

He made it pretty deep before I noticed him and another girl, soft complexion, A sot voice, and blonde hair, like Malfoy blonde. Then I saw them, what a wondrous sight. It was like a bat horse, I tried to be quiet. Emphasizes on tried.

I tripped, comical foot caught in a root then rolls over face toward to the flat ground below sort of jig. It was hilarious for everyone else, but me. Harry and Luna had busted up laughing.

"Haha, ahhh" Harry laughter had subsided. "That was brilliant" I looked at him with an arched brow.

"Ha-Ha laugh at the kid who nearly sprained an ankle will you." I said rubbing my leg.

"What are you doing out here anyway?" Asked Luna her glassy blue eyes still on me.

"Yeah? What are you doing here, shouldn't you be with Malfoy and his goons?" Harry huffed crossing his arms.

"Harry I need to talk to you." I said making eye contact.

"Well I don't want to." Harry snapped. I looked down not paying attention to the Batman incarnate horse.

"Shoo" I said swatting at the one who kept sniffing me up and down.

"I have never seen a thestral be that curious of a person before, they're very shy. However how can you see them Danny?" Asked Luna, she'd looked at me with her pale eyes. I coughed. Causing Harry to turn to me with an inquisitive look.

"Danny, did you watch somone die? You watched death take place didn't you." Harry asked His blue-green eyes leering a look into my own.

"I don't want to talk about" my voice sounded sharp, like it wasn't my own. The sort of friendliness I shared earlier was gone. Causing Harry to second guess me.

"Danny-I didn't" Harry started to say, but I took off. Tears were running down my face. I heard harry chase after me.

I didn't realise how close I had gotten to the lake. Before I knew it I was facing the lake and Harry was right there beside me. Tears were streaming down my face. Like emotion was un an unfiltered tap, and I wad the spring.

"Do you know what it's like to die?" I asked Harry. He took a step back beofre restinf his hand on mine.

"No" he answered. "I've seen it."

"I have." Which felt hollow.

We both sort of looked at each other silently. The air started to get colder as I stood there.

"It felt like I was set ablaze. That If I kept holding ny breath thst I would stay alive longer. That if I exhaled I just disappear." Harry looked at me his eyes widening. We soon could see our breaths and Ice started to form on small baldes of grass.

"You are the boy who lives." I said.

"You are the bog who lived." Harry said and I smiled.
