OCC: Well, the Gryffindors are in the common room.
|
I ate breakfast quietly, and enjoyed the peace I was getting. Because I've had none of it in a very long time, I had hoped that no one would ever speak to me again, no one. I was enjoying being alone. "This feels so nice. NOt to worry about any dark wizard, now I don't have to worry about Karli. I can now enjoy the rest of my time here. "I said tomyself, relaxing as I laid my head on the table.
|
"Johann was just a jerk!" I said sitting in an arm chair. "I was sad about him all night long! Well at least he got that evil wizard out of him..."
|
I got up and walked to the courtyard. "I guess I'm going back to New Zealand tomorrow. I've fulfilled everything early, and I have no reason to love Karli anymore. I'm sure she hates me now. Oh well...there are more girls in New Zealand." I said sighing as I sat on a bench to relax more.
|
Cassidy nodded as Karli, Josh, and Terra voiced their displeasure at Johann's "joke."
"I can't really say much," Cassidy told them, keeping her nose buried in her book. "He did save my life, after all. I mean, really, it could have ended a lot worse. I'm not trying to excuse his behavior. It was a cruel joke to play on all of us...but still..." She trailed off, knowing she probably wouldn't get too far with her point. She continued to read her potions book. He did bring it on himself... she thought sadly. Poor guy. He'll learn someday... Andrew had also found his way to the common room, and plopped himself down by the fire with his DADA book, working on his paper for the class. He said nothing about Johann or his joke, but nodded his head silently in agreement with Cassidy. |
I sighed again, then frowned.
"You know, he never told me he had that... Wizard..... In him...." Saying this, I looked into the fire, troubled by the past events. |
"Well it's now settled." I said to myself. "I'll tell my 'friends' that I'm leaving and never coming back to this place. But what would they care? After that stunt, which was funny to only me and Dumbledore. No one needs me here anyway. All my power is drained, since Sabastian isn't around, so my power is back to normal status. And I can't protect or help any one or anything here anymore." I said getting up to look for everyone.
|
"Well now that I have my homework done," I said. "and the funeral's over, I can get back to trying to become a stag!"
I got my animagus book out and began practicing. It wasn't a complete waste of time. I got my ears to grow a couple of inches. "That was good wasn't it guys?" I aske transforming back to normal. |
"Make sure you're careful, Josh," Cassidy warned in her friendliest voice. "I heard working too hard at becoming an animagus can have some pretty harsh side effects."
She peered at him over the top of her book. A few dried spills of ingredients dotted its cover, the battle scars of careless moments gone by. She smiled. "It does look like it's coming along nicely, though," she offered, looking at his almost-stag ears. "It'll be neat to see when you can do the entire transformation." She returned to her book, but Andrew got up from his place by the fire, and plodded over to Josh. He glanced over his shoulder at the book in Josh's hands. "Do be careful," Andrew echoed Cassidy's words. "That's a really old method. I heard of some modern ones that you might want to check out. Not sure if they're any safer though." He fingered his animagus medallion subconciously as he returned to his seat on the floor by the fire. Looking around at the melancholy atmosphere, he resigned to his parchment for only a moment before he asked the room, "should someone go see how Johann is doing? He didn't look too happy..." |
I wondered the halls looking for any one of my friends to tell them my news. After the SAM match this afternoon I was planning on packing my bags after all my friends knew that I was leaving tomorrow.
|
Berii didn't go to the 'funeral', she didn't want to see him be burried, or was it because of another reason? She continued to ask herself that question and someone in her mind will always answer "he's not dead" over and over again.
When she saw the students were now back inside, with a mad expression? She smiled. "That means..." She rushed through the hallways looking for Johann. She stopped, there he was...alive, she couldn't be anymore glad. "You jerk!" Berii exlamied, running over to him. She thought that Johann would expect her to slap or hit him, but she couldn't, although she wants to, and hugged him instead. "Never do that again!" |
"Yes Josh, becoming an Animagus is horrible work. Take your time, it will cause stress if you dont" I said shutting my book. "Well....I'm going for lunch. See you"
I packed my bookbag and headed down to the Great Hall. |
"Yes, Josh..." I said softly, repeating what the two twins had said.
"Be careful..." |
NO! The only person that could make me change my mind doesn't hate me! This isn't supposed to happen! I'm leaving, this will make it tough! I thought to myself alittle annoyed. When she let go I said after along time of looking at her, "I'm not going to make you any happier. I'm leaving tomorrow, I'm going back to New Zealand to live, my work here is done. I really had no intention of staying at Hogwarts, I knew I was going to leave adventually, but not so soon. Well I have to tell the others now. See you later...or maybe never." I said walking into the Great Hall to find mad faces still. I sat down and waited for everyone else. I then spotted Karli...
|
I saw Johann, and walked up to him.
"I hope you have earned your lesson..." I muttered to him. |
"Maybe...maybe not..." I said coolly. "But you'll never see the outcome...I'm leaving tomorrow for New Zealand, I'll be attending school there." I said equally calm.
|
"Why?" I asked. "What reason is there for you to leave?"
|
"Your father is gone, the prophecy is completed, and there is no reason for me to be here anymore." I said stretching and yawning. "Besides my home is in New Zealand and I've been getting homesick lately, enough to make me want to go home. We'll never meet again after today." I said taking care in to try to appear not to really care. Hopefully that was enough to get her mad at me and break up so I wouldn't have to deal with missing her at all.
|
Right after he finished talking a slapped him in the face.
"You selfish...foul...." I said turning a stomping away. I went down by the lake, and threw rocks into it. Soraya was there, but I paid no attention to her. |
Since none of the others were there I desided to get things understood between me and Karli. I walked up to her and said, "Now why am I selfish? I think I've been selfless enough, haven't I? Saving the world for no other reason but to save everyone from a threat. I think that's mighty selfless, I mean the selfish thing to do would be to have not helped and not do anything about it." I sat down beside her and asked, "So why do you think I'm selfish?"
|
"I wasnt talking about you saving the world. And I refuse to tell you. So, get away from me!" I said. I was now standing. I started to get ready to transform. I just wanted to listen to the last thing Johann wanted to say to me.
|
"I know why you think I'm selfish. You think I'm thinking about no one but myself when I choose to leave. I wasn't thinking about you, or any of the others." I said then I turned to her. "The truth is, I only fell in love with you, and swore to protect you, so that your father didn't get his hands on you. Sure it was sort of fun, but now that Sabastian is gone. My personality has totally changed, I'm no longer the Johann you knew, I'm back to my corny magic trick, show off self. You don't want that, no one does. Our love was only because of the prophecy, nothing more. Well I guess this is good bye for you. We're over, and I'm not coming back here. After I'm gone, I'm gone." I said. Then I got up and walked into the castle without her saying another word. Even though it hurt the heck out of me to let her go, I knew that the love I felt for her wasn't because of the prophecy it was real. But I had to get away from this horrid place, I needed to return home...
|
"Well, bye you guys.... I'm going to go to lunch..." I said to my remaining friends, flashed Josh a shy smile, and hurried out of the portrait hole....
|
I then broke into tears.
"I was right about you all along Johann...."I whispered. I then transformed, and flew into the forest. |
No matter how much I hurt inside, I was more determine to go home. Even though I suffered from lieing to Karli about my love for her and my personality change. My personality didn't change, I'm still the same Johann she knew, I just wanted her to think I didn't love her anymore so she wouldn't try to stop me.
I met Terra in the Great Hall and said to Terra, "Hey...I'm leaving tomorrow, for New Zealand. I've been getting homesick and I need to be there. But I'm still here all day today, I leave tomorrow." |
