lyric inspired sc / through me (the flood), hozier
" i almost forget - then i wake up and remember again . this war / all the graves / all the losses , and how many more ... i'm sorry , @lycantied . i'm thinking of loss and how to measure it ; i didn't even think about WHO i was talking to . "

❝ i expected you to come and find me. that no matter how hurt or angry, you wouldn’t abandon me when i needed you the most. ❞
" then you expected too much . " words are sharp , cold , compared to the soft tone . hari almost wonder if they CUT . almost regrets speaking them at all . but it had been choking him , clawing at his insides in a desperation to get out . " why do YOU get to talk about abandoning people , @bhells . "

"something about this place makes me wanna use the buddy system ."
" what merits does the buddy system really have , if we're honest with ourselves , @memorao . " an absent question , fired off without much active thought . if he were actively thinking then maybe he would consider there was a time and place . maybe . PROBABLY NOT . a slytherin for self preservation he was not . " pretty easy to get separated . if somethings out for you bad enough , it'd just take us BOTH out maybe this place needs a scooby doo system . where we walk in groups of five . "

❝ who said i never killed anyone? ❞
wind from his sails -- that’s the saying , isn’t it ? they’re not really sure . the point is that harry loses both momentum and , seemingly , the ability to speak . there are NO WORDS on the tip of his tongue ( how unlike him ) and no fight to control what he says . the silence seems to stretch , but maybe that’s just him , and a simple question rattles around his brain ; why is he so surprised ? “ ... RIGHT . valuable lesson . do not assume people don’t have skeletons in the closet . ” positives : they have recovered the ability to speak . cons : every word leaned towards STUPIDITY . “ hey , @salvatoraes , how much would i hate it if we played body counts ? ”

@diggries " that wasn't a cookie, man! that was a piece of his heart... "
movements stutter , all he can do is stare at the older boy for a moment ; eyes darting wildly between the cookie and cedric . maybe it was a тrιcĸ , a way to get the last one ... probably not , actually . harry breaks the last cookie in half and , still in disbelieving silence , eats his half . “ it LOOKS like a cookie ... tastes like one too . ” stated slowly , still just a little worried about what was going on in cedric’s mind . at least no one could accuse him of being mean - he even saved the hufflepuff some ! “ unless his heart just tastes delιcιoυѕ . ”

i get older, but just never wiser.
hands twist in his lap , unable to relax or sit still . unsure of words . maybe he feels the SAME / maybe godfather and godson are exactly the same there . fools unable to learn a lesson . ( trust - who , when , why - had always been one of his many failings . always the wrong person or not quite fast enough . ) and maybe he’s too scared to ask just what the man is thinking . just what he’s not been wise about . if it was anything like harry’s list , then it wasn't pleasant . “ you never know @altarcup , ” forces a lighter tone , ignoring how his voice BREAKS slightly , a smile . “ it could all catch up on you at once . i hear forty is a great age to get wiser . and there’s potions for it . there’s hope for you yet . ”

lyric starter / easier than lying, halsey.
“ i know what it’s like , ” barely more than a whisper , not for privacy or sensitivity . some small remains of PARANOIA , the healthy dose of cautiousness he had beaten in , telling him to be careful of people listening . taking words and changing / selling / hounding him with them . morgana forbid they set a foot wrong or speak a little too loud where others can hear . looks up , eyes meeting @dragonspeakcr . “ losing things ... everything . i lost all my faith / hope that it all means anything . ”

can’t you love me a little? just a little bit?
----- the pillow makes CONTACT only seconds after he hears the words . unfortunate timing , to say the least . he really did throw it before she started to speak ! harry sinks deeper into his chair ; maybe out of shame for the assault with a deadly pillow or maybe to make himself a more defensible target . “ what have i ever done that isn’t loving ? ” a quick complaint , huffed out , and once again he realises his mistake only seconds later , “ besides that . ” that buys TIME - not much of it , he’s sure - there are two POTENTIAL outcomes here . this turns into war ... or @bhells cries . unsure which is worse , he resorts to prayers to higher powers . “ really - and i’m just saying - us hanging out RIGHT NOW is an act of love . ”

a roll oғ тнe eyeѕ , almost obscured by the way he rubs his temple . it was a TOUGH DECISION , too mean and katie would kill him / not mean enough and cedric might miss what he was saying entirely . one too many times hit with a bludger , ron guessed once . “ you say that like it means anything , ” settles on a MIDDLE GROUND , pointed out rather simply . almost bored . there , katie couldn’t even accuse him of trying to hurt the hufflepuff . “ you’d risk your life for a cat in a tree - a very low one . the giant squid . probably even professor snape . ”
@diggries sent "i risked my life for you!"

the boy always saving everyone else , the weight of the world on his shoulders ; the words seem like A LIE . how can they be the truth - how could anyone ... why would anyone care that much for him ? harry potter is a drop of rain , pretty for just a moment but NOTHING compared to vast oceans . no one should go to those lengths for him . it had been made clear so long ago , as much a fact as saying the sky was blue , that he wasn’t WORTH IT . or anything , really . and yet , sirius isn’t lying . harry can’t look the man in the eye ( his burden to bare . only his ) to know for sure but , just as it was fact that he wasn’t worth the effort , it was fact that sirius wouldn’t lie to him . a long held dislike of touch ( flinches , scrubbing skin raw - dislike is TOO MILD a word . ) wars with the urge to hold and be held . to hug his godfather and feel some semblance of safety in the very idea someone would go that far for him . holds back , swallowing down the lump in his throat , a weak smile on his lips . “ what if you had to cut your hair - an’ i mean all off . BALD . ”
@fledrmaus sent “ there’s nothing i wouldn’t do to keep you safe. ”
