New chapter! New Chapter! Aren't you all happy and chipper! He! He! Happy! Happy! HAPPY!

Yes I am finally updating and this time I am going to fix any problems there are in the other chapters. I may even make some parts longer as well as conversations. I have a plan that will work for sure. Now onto the story . . .

No POV

"So . . uh" Ron hesitated.

"No, Ron, she isn't my girlfriend. Maneerra is going to adopt me so I won't have to go back to the Dursley's." Ron pulled a face.

"Sorry, mate. It's just that . . . well . . . you and her were well . . . umm"

"Ron it's all right. There is nothing between us in the way of whatever your thinking." Ron proceeded to scratch the back of his head while his face became red as the hair that topped his head.

"Sorry, mate. Bad thought. Anyways were both in the same house by the way. My mom will probably disown me after she recovers an . . ."

"Hold up, Ron. What do you mean that your in my house?" Ron blushed once more. He opened his mouth but shut it as if in better thought.

"Are you trying to tell me that your in Slytherin, Ron, but that's almost unheard of." Harry said who was still sitting against the wall. Curiosity formed on his face as he studied Ron.

"I know. All of my family has always been in Gryffindor for a very long time. I feel like the first person to ever break away from the usual traditions. I can almost imagine how disappointed my brothers probably are. You know what Harry . . ." Ron said then looked Harry.

"Hmm! What, Ron?" Harry looked even more curious as he observed Ron. His face became sheepish then and Harry could only imagine what was running through Ron's mind.

"We'll always be best mates, Harry, right...!" Ron said. He looked hopefully at Harry. Harry smiled.

"Sure, Ron, I'll be your friend. I always thought of you as a friend from when we first met on the Hogwart's Express and nothing is going to change that. You don't have anything to worry about Ron." Ron smiled then widely.

"That's good because I don't know how long I would last with Malfoy's old crew hunting me down for being in their house. You know I wonder if Snape will still be the same now that your in his House?" Ron said but couldn't help but ask the most oddest question. Harry rolled his eyes at the question but then looked back at Ron.

"I don't know but a change from him would mean hell has frozen over. It would be a miracle if he had to be nice to me and especially you Ron with your family hating anyone with the potential for being dark wizards. I just hope your family will be accepting of you even though your a Slytherin now." Harry looked to the floor in deep thought. Ron feeling left out by standing in the middle of the room chose that moment to sit next to Harry.

"What's wrong, Harry?" Ron asked a little fearful that Harry would go over the deep end now that he had one more thing in common with Voldemort. This almost seemed like the case but who knew maybe he was wrong and everything would be all right. At that moment Harry sighed and then whispered something inaudible.

"Harry . . . ?" Ron said.

"I said I don't want to have anything more with Voldemort! I just wish that I could have a family that loves me like yours Ron . . . . but no . . . he had to take that away from me before I could even walk or talk. Now every time I turn around there is always something that is referred back to him. I have no parents and the same goes for him. The Dursley's hated me and so did his family. When I went to school I was picked on and yet again the same goes for Voldemort. Why can't anything ever be different. When I was sorted I nearly wanted to scream because the Hat was going to put me in Slytherin but I convinced it not to. With a second sorting I was then placed where I was supposed to be right from the beginning." Harry then took a breath and continued.

"I don't know what to do anymore but as far as destiny is concerned I have it bad. I guess nothing in my life will ever be normal." With a final formality he drew his legs up and rested his head on his knees.

"Cheer up, mate. I think things will work out for the better in the end. It might take time but you'll get there. At least I think so . . . I mean after all we had quite a wild ride last year and this year just seemed to get more interesting but apart from all that we got through it. Don't you see, Harry!..." Ron looked at Harry with a conviction beyond his years. Harry looked at Ron while still resting his head.

"What would that be, Ron?" Harry questioned but the air almost seemed to get cooler. It almost seemed like something was going to happen or go wrong. A few thoughts had run through their heads at that moment but both could not discern what had brought on this hostility.

"Mate, what ever just happened now was scary. Are you . . . becoming a . . a dark lord? . . . . ." Ron asked but looked livid as if saying as much had given Harry the very idea.

"Jee! You would think that with all the things I've been through that I would become like a monster like Voldemort! HAH! Don't make me laugh. You know what maybe I should become a dark lord and bump Voldemort off his sorry butt so I can take the thrown. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .Ron . . . ."

"Hmm."

"I don't want to be a monster nor do I want people to cling to me when everything goes wrong. I don't want to be someone's puppet. In the end I always find myself trusting others and not really ever truly knowing if they'll stab me the next day. So, why must I carry the weight of the world on my shoulders. On top of it all I am no longer human all because of what happened in the Chamber of Secrets." In that moment the tears came as well as an early rainfall. It was almost as if the sky were crying right alongside Harry Potter.

Now I have to hand it to myself. This is a very insightful chapter. In a way I showed you two sides of the coin and also Hermione is next. He! He! Ha! Hah! She is the side of the coin you haven't seen yet.

On a much more quite note. I am sorry that I haven't updated so soon. I thought to get in the personal minds of the trio and let you know how they are feeling. I think I mentioned that there is more to this story then just the plot or maybe you already know but some things won't become clearer until just a little later.
