Capítulo 43: The Flight Family's Last Request
Harry, Jonathon and Ryan had found an unused classroom to have their talk. Harry erected some privacy wards and the three began talking.
"I must say" Jonathon spoke as he healed Ryan's face "you did a number on him"
"He had it coming" Harry said "now, what are you two doing here?"
"What? We can't come here just to say hello?"
"You can but that's not why you're here" Harry relied
"Look" Jonathon sighed "we have something we want to talk to you about"
"Is it about your stunt in the forbidden forest?" Harry crossed his arms
"Okay" Jonathon shook his head "I shouldn't have done that, but the kid was in danger"
"You're in danger, you were supposed to hang up the mask and go into retirement"
"I am in retirement, that thing in the forest was just an unfortunate incident"
"Unfortunate?" Harry repeated "No, stepping on somebodies foot is unfortunate, dropping your food is unfortunate, losing a bet is unfortunate. What you did was stupid, plain and simple"
"I guess Harry is still in charge" Ryan joked
"You shut up, I'm mad at you"
"What did I do?" Ryan said with a confused expression
"You walked up into the hall like you owned the place and you attracted a lot of attention, do you know how many questions I have to answer now?"
"Meh" Ryan shrugged "it's not like I killed somebody, besides you haven't had a fight in ages. I was just doing you a favour"
"I already had a fight" Harry responded "three idiots against me, still won"
"Atta boy" Jonathon patted Harry on the shoulder "now Harry, about why we're here, I need to ask something of you"
"Why do I get the feeling that I won't like this?"
"Probably because you won't like this" Ryan answered
"Harry" Jonathon continued "you know why I trained you, I think it's time"
"No" Harry shook his head "no, I tried it before and I am not doing that again"
"Harry, come on" Jonathon spoke
"No!" Harry refused "You promised, you said I could have a normal life. Get Ryan to do it"
"Me?" Ryan scoffed "we both know that I'm nowhere near as good at this as you"
"Why me?!" Harry demanded "Why couldn't you just find someone else?!"
"There is nobody else" Jonathon spoke in a sad voice "you're the only one left Harry, you may still be able to have a normal life but it won't be anytime soon. I don't have much time left Harry, please"
"Bloody hell" Harry wiped a tear off of his face "how long do you have?"
"We don't know" Ryan spoke "probably a few months"
"Harry" Jonathon leaned down and looked Harry in the eye "I will go, we all will, you knew that this was coming. It's okay to be sad, what's not okay is to stop being happy. I want you to live your life, live it with as much happiness as you can." Jonathon gently pulled Harry into a hug, the green eyed boy tense but slowly returned with his own hug.
"I'll miss you" Harry pulled away
"You as well" Jonathon said softly "but just remember, despite how corny it is, I'll always be here" Jonathon placed his hand on Harry's chest, just above his heart.
"Thanks John, but I don't know if I can do it" Harry spoke honestly "I don't know if I have it in me"
"Harry, you have the skills" Jonathon reassured him "you have the skill, the strength and the determination. You're also the perfect person, you can't stop yourself and we both know it. You can't stop yourself, no matter how much you want to." Jonathon stood up and placed a hand on Harry's shoulder.
"Goodbye" Harry said in a sad but resigned voice
"I'll always be proud of you" Jonathon removed his hand and he took his wand out and removed Harry's charms. "I'm sure your parents would be the same, goodbye son" Jonathon gave him one last smile before he made his way out of the room.
"Well" Ryan stood up and made his way over to Harry "I guess this is goodbye for now"
"I guess it is" Harry stuck out his hand "it was good seeing you again"
"You too" Ryan shook his hand "do you have any plans?"
"Just try to get through the year alive" Harry answered "what about you?"
"Stick with dad for now" Ryan let go of Harry's hand "spend some time with him, once he 'goes' then I'm going to go live with my sister"
"You don't have a sister" Harry reminded him
"I do actually" Ryan said "Dad found her a week or two ago, they've arranged to take me in. She's a muggleborn, works in the ministry, she didn't even know I existed. She's not dad, he found me and took me from the street, I can never forget that, called him dad all my life. I'll miss him, and you"
"You send me a letter anytime you need anything" Harry ordered "I mean it, you need money or a place to live and I can help you."
"Thanks but I don't think I need it, I'll miss you."
"Stay safe brother" Harry hugged him
"You too" Ryan hugged him back.
