Falling Hopelessly

Chapter 6

Harry has had a rough day already, he's gotten insulted at least ten times just this morning.
And not to mention someone had charmed a small storm cloud that wouldn't go away, didn't matter how hard you tried.
So here he was sitting in his Divination class not being able to doing anything because he wouldn't have been able to see it.
After Divination was over it was off to his last class; Potions.
"Great, just what I need. Snape down my throat for not being able to get rid of this damn storm cloud."
He had actually made it on time to Snape's class, hell he was actually early.
He stepped into the classroom and he didn't see Snape at his desk so he just sat in the very back with head hanging low, he hadn't noticed when Snape had actually walk in though so when Snape said something to him he jumped and almost fell out of his chair.
"Mister Potter would you care to explain as to why you have a storm cloud over your head?"
Harry just looked up at him with tired eyes.
"I really don't want to hear your insults today sir.. Do you know how many insults i've gotten just today? Oh wait, you don't care."
When neither of them said anything Harry continuned,
"I'll tell you anyway. I can't even tell you anymore. I've lost count, and i'm tired of it. So whatever you have fo say go ahead and say now because honestly, it wouldn't make a difference."
Harry sat there and waited to be insulted, but when nothing was said he looked up at Snape with confusion.
"Oh you've run out of snide remarks have you?"
Snape looked down at him with concern hidden in his eyes,
"No, I was going to tell you to either go back to Gryffindor tower or see the Headmaster."
Harry looked at him, disbelif written all over his face.
"Are you sick or something? Because you've been acting strange these past couple of days..."
Snape just gave a small sigh and answered with a simple, "I'm fine."
Harry sighed and nodded as he got up, "I guess i'll just go back to Gryffindor tower..."
On his way out Snape had also stepped out of the door as more students began to arrive.
"Talk to the Headmaster to get rid of that storm cloud. If you want to go sleep or speed up that process, take this. I know you haven't been getting sleep, its obvious. Talk to the Headmaster about them..."
Harry took the vial from Snapes hand as he looked up.
"What do you mean 'about them'?"
Snape looked back at Harry,
"About your nightmares or visions or what not."
Harry let out a sigh, nodded, and then turned and left.

Harry knocked on Dumbledore's door and listened as he said to come in.
"Harry my boy-!"
He looked at Dumbledore because he had stopped talking and noticed he was looking over his head.
He sighed and hung his head low, "Sir, if you could just get rid of this so could go, I would love that."
Harry looked back up at him with tired eyes, "Come here Harry."
He walked over to the Headmaster's desk, not too close, careful not to get any of his things wet.
After a quick flick of his wand, the Headmaster had gotten rid of the storm cloud.
"Thank you professor. I'll see you later."
Dumbledore sighed and said good-bye as Harry walked out of the door.
Harry quietly made his way outside of the castle and to the lakefront. He carefully sat down in the grass and looked out at the lake. 'I'm tired of all of this... All because i'm gay, I know damn well i'm not the only gay in this castle.'
Harry fumbled through his pockets until he found the vial Snape had given him before he visited Dumbledore. 'Why is he acting like he cares now? I'm just so confused...'
He just put the vial back in his pocket and looked back out at the lake. Harry sighed and laid back as he closed his eyes and enjoyed the feeling of the sun on his skin.
He let out a big yawn after a few minutes and realised the shadow over his face, he hesitated to open his eyes and when he finally did he was met with Hagrid's happy face. He quickly sat up and smiled as Hagrid sat himself beside Harry, "Heya Harry." He gave Harry a giant hug almost suffocating Harry in his huge beard, once Harry was let go he took in a big breath, "Hey Hagrid, maybe next time try not to suffocate me with your beard." He laughed when Hagrid stroked his beard and let out a small chuckle.
"Sorry there Harry." He pat Harry's back with one of his large hands and Harry jerked forward a bit on impact. "How've yer studies been?" Harry just sighed, "They're okay... How have things been with you?" Hagrid simply smiled and scratched his beard, "The same as always. I have ter keep an eye on Fang though, he keeps running inter the Ferbidden Forest by himself." Harry nodded in understanding, he looked at his watch and then back at Hagrid. "I better get going or i'll be past curfew. And I don't want detention." Hagrid stood and smiled at Harry, "Alrigh' then Harry, you best get goin'." They waved goodbye to each other and Harry slipped into the castle.
He was walking the corridors when he ran into Malfoy, "Watch where you're going Potter!" Harry just ignored him and tried to keep walking but of course Malfoy had to grab him to get his attention, "I'm talking to you Potter!" Harry turned to him furiously, "Bloody piss off Malfoy!" Draco seemed rather taken aback by Harry's sudden outburst, "What's got your knickers in a twist?" Harry just shoved him to the side and continued his way to Gryffindor tower when a hex flew by his head, almost hitting him. He turned, wand drawn and fed up with everyone at this damn school. He was in Malfoy's face in a flash, "Listen Malfoy, I don't have time for your bloody games! Leave me the hell alone!" The whole time his wand pressed against Malfoy's throat, Malfoy looking pissed, shoved Harry's wand away and pointed his own at Harry's throat both standing still not making any sound then quite suddenly hexes were being thrown in every direction till Dumbledore and Snape showed from around the corner.
"THAT IS ENOUGH!" both boys stopped and stood on wobbly legs as though thet were to give out any moment, Harry looked to be in worse shape seeing as he didn't dodge a majority of the hexes thrown his way. They both gulped at the look on Dumbledore's face, it was even putting Snape's glare to shame.
"What is the matter with you two?!" They started pointing at the other and trying to explain how the other had started it. "ENOUGH!" they instantly got quiet and Harry looked as though he was ready to pass out while Malfoy stood there arms crossed and had regained some strength in his legs. Snape, who was watching Harry carefully the whole time had noticed that Harry had started to sway, "Potter?" Dumbledore looked over at the boy and grew very concerned, "Severus, take the boy to Pomfrey, i'll handle Draco." Snape gave a curt nod and turned towards Harry, catching him just as he was falling over.
Snape wrapped Harry's arm around his shoulders and his hand around the boy's waist and made his way to the infirmary.
