Chapter 8 - Forbidden Emotions

                                    

                                          
Harry's POV
                          
English was my worst class yet I found myself constantly looking forward to it. It wasn't because I enjoyed what went on during the class, it was who I sat behind. I sat behind Ginny Weasley. I told myself constantly that I Harry Potter should not enjoy sitting behind Ginny Weasley who was a friend to Neville Longbottom, but my heart never seemed to care. I told myself I didn't like the new shampoo she was using, I told myself whenever she flipped her hair it was annoying but my heart always kept contradicting my brain. I knew that she hated me with a passion as fiery as her hair. What was awful was whenever she insulted me I wanted to change. I tried everything to make me forget her eyes that stared into me. I tried to focus on the fact that she liked Longbottom (though he didn't like her back). My sister Lily and brother Hugo were both friends with Longbottom as well. I opened my notebook annoyed with these emotions I could not reject and found two things.
                          
Dear Harry Potter,
                          
This is not who you are
                          
This not where you belong
                          
These are not your true friends
                          
These are not your own thoughts
                          
You have two months to find out who you are
                          
To fix the world to what you truly want
                          
-Albus Dumbledore
                          
I had no idea who this person was or what they meant but then I small golden ball fell out of my notebook. It had wings connected to it and has small enough to rest in my palm. I had never seen anything like it but it intrigued me. On the backside of the note, it said Neville Longbottom will be able to tell you the real truth. I decided the note was mocking me and it was all a stupid prank. Right?
