Summary: A little AU after the First Task for all his apparent forgiveness of Ron for abandoning him, he's incapable of forgetting. The Triwizard Tournament forced Harry to grow up and changed the way he looked and things as well as what he focused on. Complete AU from the day of the Third Task. Harry doesn't want to participate in the Tournament; he has said he has no wish to win. What happens when he refuses to search for the Triwizard Cup?
A/N: The title is in reference to the song by Katy Perry. If fit the story so well when it came on the radio after I took a dinner break while writing. Prior to that son play this fic had no name. Its just a random story idea that I couldn't shake but it seems to be shaping into a nice storyline.
Chapter 3- New Dreams and Hopes for the future
Harry spent the last bit of vacation ignoring everyone at the Burrow for the most part and focusing on his homework. When Mrs. Weasleys asked what was the matter he said that's he was worried about leaving his summer homework to the last minute because the Dursleys looked up his trunks.
She patted his head, "You're a dear…" her eyes filled with tears, "Your parents would be proud of you. If only Ronald would think as much on his studies as you and Hermione do."
Hermione looked up from her Syllabary giving him an odd look.
Ron sneered from the doorway, "Him? Study? That's not his nature. He likes to blow things off to the last minute."
Hermione glared at him, "Do be quiet Ron, if Harry wishes to be more responsible then good for him. I wish you'd do your work more timely. Have you even finished it?"
Ron stiffened, "You're as nosy as Mum. What's it to you if I have?"
Hermione looked up as regal owl landed in front of her, she took letter and petted the owl before offering it a bit of biscuit, which Mrs. Weasley gave her for a study snack. "Oh…" she coloured. "It's from Viktor. He's very put out with me for not coming for a visit."
Ron scowled and stormed out slamming the kitchen door.
"That boy! If I've told him once I've told him a thousand times not to slam doors." Mrs. Weasley muttered moving to scrub the cauldron she'd made porridge in.
When Mrs. Weasley was distracted and singing along with Celestina Warbeck, Hermione leaved over, "Are you alright? You never want to study…you look awful. All pale, thin and such dark circles under your eyes. Do you even sleep anymore?"
Harry sighed, not wanting to discuss any of his reasons for sleepless nights, "Leave it alone Hermione. If I want to talk to you I will. Right now I have to finish this essay for Snape. He's a tougher grader then McGonagall and I'd like to get a decent grade from him for once."
"You want any help? I've already finished mine,"
Harry shook his head, "No thanks 'Mione. Mum would be furious with me for that. I've just got to do it myself." He gave her a half smile; "I can't expect you to come to save me all the time. I've got to focus on my studies on my own and take responsibility for them."
Hermione stared at him, "Who are you and what have you done with Harry?"
"I've just got to make up for not taking my Fourth Year exams. They would have been helpful in preparing for my OWLS but no matter. I'll just have to get by the best I can. I just wish I'd chosen something other then Divination. That class is a joke and I doubt it would actually help me with anything in the future. I've got no talent as a Seer despite what that flighty woman says."
Hermione blinked, "Well, you can talk to Professor McGonagall about changing your options."
"I was considering being an Auror but I'm sick of it all. I doubt very much the Ministry would let me." His face darkened, "Besides, I'm sick of being judged by my father. I'd rather be like my mother…"
"Then what do you wish to be Harry?" Hermione asked gently.
Harry swallowed, "A Healer or the Wizarding equivalent of an solicitor." He turned back to his potions essay, "I'd like to help people."
Mrs. Weasley turned back toward them, "That's very admirable. I think your parents would be proud."
Harry flushed, packing up his things, "I think I'll go find a quiet place to study." He'd shut himself in up in the attic. No one went there because of the ghoul. A ghoul wouldn't bother him, rattling things about wasn't troublesome to his concentration not like Ron's presence.
"Harry," Hermione called after him, "If you're serious about Healing you'd better take up Runes. I'd be glad to help you."
He turned to smile at her, "No thank you 'Mione. This is something I've got to do on my own." He'd have harden his heart, neither Hermione nor Ron would forgive him for daring to like Draco Malfoy. Ron hated Malfoy and the feeling was mutual….
Besides, why would a pureblood Prince have anything to do with a dirty little Halfblood?
