The kid in Azkaban

Chapter 7

Someone pulled me up. Snape. He lifted my chin. "Don't touch me I-I-I'm a monster." I looked down. I started backing away. "Alex you can try to be good like us." "No no I've done to much." Severus came over and engulfed me with a hug. I cried into him, he felt like a father to me. "Go to bed." He ordered it wasn't mean though. They left and shut my door.

I could here them talking in the hallway. "Do you think she's you know 'better'" A man asked. "I think she's healing- from her past it must have been rough." Another man said. "I think she just wants to be like everyone else not a death eater." Tonks said. "I don't think she wanted to be a death eater in the first place." Severus said with a harsh tone.

"Why? Why me?" I whispered. I felt a tear drop down my face.

I fell asleep soon after that.
********************************

When I woke up I took a shower and got dressed In a grey sweater and skinny jeans. Following with my Griffindoor robe. I put on deodorant and brushed my hair and teeth. I trudged down the hall and pushed the button. "Be their soon Alex." Remus said.

"K." Was all I said. I'm depressed I can hear it in my voice. Remus opened the door. "Morning." He said cheerfully. I just nodded and walked with him to the great hall. He left me before entering. An old lady was walking down the hall dressed in pink. I can just look at her and already tell she is going to be annoying.

I sat down at the end of the table by myself. I ignored all the whispers. This isn't one of those cliché movies were people come up to you. This is life-reality and It sucks. I wish life was equal to a fantasy but it's the exact opposite.

I stared at my food barley picking at it. I went to my first class hoping for a friend. Moody was escorting me. I sat down in the middle trying to blend in. It was the pink lady's room. I put my head down and looked at my feet. The lady went into her office so I got out a quill and parchment.

I just suddenly stopped thinking about everything and everyone around me. I got sucked into my own world of drawing. I drew a girl hiding and the monster was her shadow. I didn't know that someone was behind me until I finished. "What is that?!" The lady asked. She snatched it of my desk. "Wait-no please." I stuttered. "Is this some secret note?" She gave an evil smile.

I realized that she hadn't seen it yet but she walked up to the front and showed the class. The whole class turned silent. "I-I." I huffed and stormed out with tears streaming down my face. I made sure to kick a desk on the way out. I ran down the halls with tears pouring down. I didn't know where I was going.
My feet were just leading me in diffrent directions.

All of a sudden it got cold and I was in some kind of dungeon. I freaked out because I was lost. I barged through a door that happened to be full of kids and Severus teaching. He paused when he saw me and my face. "Class dismissed." He demanded. "But we still have thirty minutes left." Said a boy. "Out now!" He ordered.

They all scurried out of the room. "Severus." I ran towards him and he opened his arms. He engulfed me in a hug. "Lil-." He paused. "Alex what happened?" He asked. "I-I." I stuttered. "I was drawing a picture that meant a lot to me and Umbridge showed it to the class." I cried out.

"Oh Alex." He breathed. "It's okay." It was obvious he didn't know how to comfort someone. "Severus they think I'm a freak." I said. "Let them because you are a freak.... But so is everyone else. If we were all normal than we wouldn't be who we are today. We would never be happy not even sad just normal. But it's okay to be you-to be yourself-to be sad and cry.

Just be who you are because you are perfectly imperfect. But sometimes all you can do is hope to fall asleep before you fall apart."

I just nodded my head. I wiped my tears and jumped up. 'Alex time to stop feeling sorry for yourself.' I motivated myself. "I'm going for a walk." I muttered. He just nodded his head.

I walked down the halls and started skipping. I started skipping. The first time I've ever felt so alive.
