Time to Think [open]

[Harry James Potter]

Harry was having a good day, up until DADA, and Snape, of course Snape had to embarrass him in front of the class, insults here and there, and having him demonstrate non-verbal defense. Of course Harry never had done non-verbal, well except for Levicorpus, and they had been practicing for ages. Harry used Protego and protected himself. Snape pulled this when they started non-verbal too, and Harry did the same. What did he expect? Now Harry had a week's worth of detention.

Harry was still in a slightly good mood, but needed some time to think. His Half-Blood Prince book was gone, somewhere in the Room of Requirement. Harry retreated to a peaceful place, where he knew no one, not even Hermione or Ron could guess that he was, well Ginny might since she knew him. He wondered if Ginny still had her rose...

Either way, Harry just wanted to relax, outside of the common room, and just be away from all the Chosen One none sense. He knew Ron believed it, and Hermione looked up to him like he was, because while he was so 'modest' he was such an extraordinary wizard. He didn't think that he was, and he did NOT want to be the Chosen One ever, but a few minutes or hours would be great to be not the Chosen One.

[Analiese Marina Claire]

Analiese walked into the Greenhouses with a scowl on her face. For some reason she was mad, not mad, no. She was furious! But she wasn't sure why... She'd been sitting her dorm on her bed scrolling through a magazine she'd hidden in a book when another girl had come up and the book out of her hands revealing the magazine. She'd gotten the magazine back but Analiesel had to erase the other girl's memory. Analiese had gotten out before the other girl realized what had happened but she still had the feeling the girl was on to her secret.

Once she got in there, she closed the door and still glaring out the window. Then she turned around and headed for an area not in sight of the door, with out noticing Harry Potter she tripped over his foot but got back up and brushed her sweater off. She whipped her head around and glared at him, then realized it was him then her face softened.

"Harry Potter?" she said, she'd drawn her wand with out noticing.

Could she really be meeting the leader of the DA? How could she be? She'd seen him around but never had the nerve to actually talk to the Famous Harry Potter. Oh great, now I sound like a fan girl. . . and that's just not me..

[Harry James Potter]

So Harry was there, minding his own business being not the Chosen One someone entered the greenhouses, tripping over his foot. Harry wasn't mad at all at her, and almost blamed himself, he should've kept his eyes open and moved his legs when he saw her coming his way. Harry saw her draw her wand, so instinctively he drew his wand as well, of course if she were to turn out to be dangerous and going to try to kill him he wanted his wand.

"Who? I mean, yes that's me," Harry said his name slipping his mind for a second since he had been sitting there trying to forget that he was the big celebrity guy known as Harry Potter the Chosen One.

Harry hated the attention. Just because he got a scar and survived something that killed his parents and many others, didn't mean he should be praised for it. Dumbledore earned his title, and became well known through his actions, but Harry, oh no, he had this thrust upon him. And he hated it.

[Analiese Marina Claire]

Analiese put her wand in her pocket and crossed her arms, she really hadn't meant to draw her wand it was on instinct. In other times she would've whirled around and hit whom ever tripped her, but this wasn't one of those times.

"Analiese, nice to meet you." she nodded, he smirked to herself. She probably would've bowed if she hadn't caught herself, "Don't forget your name there.."

[Harry James Potter]

Harry stowed his wand away as well, and laughed at her comment on him forgetting his name for a second. He had just gotten so caught up in trying to not to think about being Harry Potter, that he forgot only for a second he really was. Harry smiled towards her, though he could tell that she thought of him as someone more than he thought he really should be known as.

"Nice to meet you too Analiese," Harry replied, "Sorry about that. I was just trying to escape all this Chosen One stuff... it gets really crowded and annoying after a little bit..."

[Analiese Marina Claire]

Analiese sat on her knees and shrugged, she hated people knowing who she was sometimes, espicially when they talked about her behind her back. So, she kind of knew how he felt about people talking about him.

"It's not as bad as your first or second years right? I've only heard stories but I heard both times you almost died." Analiese asked, "Only way you'd escape it, is to dissappear. It's easy to do so but then everyone asks questions and then it just gets way out of hand. I'm yammering... Sorry."

[Harry James Potter]

"Ah, well last year the one who I considered like a father died," Harry shrugged, "And well this year has been better. Ha... My first year and second year were very deadly, but my fourth I could have died as well. Pretty much every year I've faced some sort of near-death experience. I like disappearing sometimes, it makes it all go away, even if questions go all crazy. And it's ok, I don't mind yammering."

He though about it and he really had a huge bad curse like thing on him. He had the worst luck. The first year he met Voldemort and nearly died, his second a big snake was going around petrifying people and trying to kill him, his third his favorite professor forgot to take a potion and nearly killed him and his friends, though it was the year he met Sirius, and was quite happy about that. His fourth between Dragons, Merpeople, and Voldemort he definitely wouldn't want to repeat it. Last year Sirius died, and Umbridge was unbearable.

[Analiese Marina Claire]

"You know I've been told you can't dwell on the past unless you want to live it in," Analiese said, "I find it good advice when something bad has happened and I need to get out of a rut." She hoped this was good advice for all the times he'd almost been killed, only Analiese knew Harry was going to have to survive for another year and a half then die and come back.

[Harry James Potter]

"True, oh so very true," Harry replied, "Which is probably why I am not depressed all the time, after everything that's happened, though with my life it's extremely hard not to dwell on the past." Any time he thought about Sirius, he actually felt good, then bad remembering he couldn't ever see him again, but he knew Sirius was still alive as long as he remembered him and kept him in his heart. That sounded so cheesy in his head, but he knew it to be true.

[Analiese Marina Claire]

"Well, maybe everything that's been happening to you is trying to tell you something." Analiese said with the twinge of a cough, "Maybe life is trying to tell you that something big is coming and that you should prepare for it?" She knew what was going to happen, but she wasn't trying to drop hints that she knew anything about it.

[Harry James Potter]

"I suppose so, I mean Dumbledore's been..." Harry thought for a second, knowing he couldn't trust anyone but Hermione and Ron with the information of Horcruxes, "Teaching me lately... Maybe something big will happen? It's bound to happen soon. I dunno what I need to wait for though..." Maybe some sort of sign, like Voldemort taking over the ministry, or maybe Harry would be taken with Dumbledore to see one of those Horcrux things, in which Harry knew about, because of Slughorn's memory, no matter how altered.

[Analiese Marina Claire]

"Lessons from Dumbledore? You must be lucky, I've never heard of a student getting lessons from the Head Master before." Analiese said with surprise. She knew of course that soon enough that he would leave, give over the lucky potion to Ron and Herminoe, leave with Dumbledore, and a battle would break out. Wasn't that coming up here soon? "Maybe Dumbledore will take you to Hogsmeade on a field trip for these lessons?"

[Harry James Potter]

"A field trip?" Harry thought about it for a second, before thinking that perhaps Dumbledore would take him to find one of the Horcruxes, which he would like very much, "That would great! It would definitely help put our lessons to the test. Seems I get special treatment getting these lessons, being the chosen one and all."

[Analiese Marina Claire]

"I get the feeling you don't want to be the Chosen One, it's oozing off you like slime off a slug." Analiese smiled sympathetically. She didn't really understand how that felt, but she did know what it felt like to be on top. Being the only female fighter back in her gang she was the number one fighter of the group. "Special treatment, gets kind of annoying doesn't it?"

[Harry James Potter]

"I hate it! I mean if I wasn't I would still do the same thing, fight Voldemort and all of that, but then everyone worshiping, or praising me. I mean Hermione and Ron would do the same thing, they should be praised, they don't have it thrust upon themselves, and can stop fighting and be safe if something were to happen, but no, they've stuck by me. They are the true heroes, and I'm not anything," Harry replied with seriousness, "I'm no hero, I'm no chosen one, I just want to be Harry Potter. Special treatment, well I don't deserve it. I've done a few things in my life, including causing death to other," Cedric, Sirius, just to name a couple, Harry thought, not coming out and say it, "Sorry, I'm rambling..."
