Fuck this shit, I’m out.
by MissCellophane
Summary
Harry’s name coming out of the goblet of fire was the last straw.
Or Harry snaps and does the sensible (or idiotic depending on who you ask) thing. He
leaves.
Notes
This is stupid but I’ve had this idea for ages and I just had to write it out for my own sanity.
Disclaimer: I don’t own Harry Potter.
See the end of the work for more notes
Dumbledore cleared his throat and read out - “Harry Potter.”
Harry stared at him in disbelief "I didn't put my name in the goblet!" He immediately exclaimed in
pure dread.
Ron snorted next to him "Sure you didn't.” He said bitterly.
Harry stared at his supposed best friend in shock before glancing around the room.
Everybody was looking at him with the same annoyed and disappointed expression. As if they
actually believed he would risk his fucking life for more fame and attention that he never even
asked for in the first place. Absolutely hated in fact. He was pretty sure he even made it clear on
more then one occasion just how much he hated it.
Are they fucking serious?
Dumbledore cleared his throat, grabbing Harry's attention "If you would please go through the
doors my boy." He repeated when Harry turned to him.
Even he looked slightly doubtful.
"Ok, no. No. I have had it with this!" He exclaimed, shocking pretty much everyone in the room, “I
will not be forced to risk my life again."
Dumbledore cleared his throat "My boy, we can talk about this in pri-"
"We will talk about this now." Harry hissed, his green eyes flashed with his magic. He could feel it
swirling just out of sight, lurking and watching, waiting for the perfect moment to strike.
"I am done being the play thing of everybody in this fucked up world!" Harry stood up, slamming
his hands on the table as he proclaimed boldly, "I will not participate in this stupid suicidal game. I
forfeit."
Bagman pressed his lips together "I'm sorry Mr.Potter but you must participate or you will be
stripped of your magic." He informed him stiffly.
Harry huffed a laugh of surprise, turning a wide incredulous gaze his way "Seriously? You let
people unknowingly sign up for a competition that they can't even forfeit from in fear of losing
their magic!?"
Every student in the great hall shared a moment of startled fear. Obviously they forgot to mention
that to literally everybody who signed up.
Harry shook his head "You know what? No. I thought I could actually find the happiness here that
I was never allowed in the muggle world but it seems even with magic my life is always going
to be a fucked up survival game and I am done. I did not starve the past thirteen years in a
cupboard under the stairs for this." He slipped off the bench and started for the doors. Murmurs
and whispering followed him.
He noted a slightly pinched expression on Hermione's face as he passed her. She was probably in
too much shock at the moment to properly react and he felt slight guilt at the worry he was sure to
follow after she finally processed what he was doing. She was one of the few who never brought
up his fame, even jokingly, after he mentioned how annoying and suffocating it was.
If he survives losing his magic he was gonna have to send her a letter to apologize. And maybe
some books. A whole lot of books.
"Mr.Potter, please! Let us talk about this privately." Crouch suddenly voiced nervously as he
glanced around the room.
Of course, he was probably more worried about the back lash he'd receive if people found out he
watched the Chosen One give up his magic without doing anything to stop him then about Harry
actually snapping.
Harry flipped him off as he continued storming to the doors "Fuck you. Fuck Voldemort. Fuck this
stupid war. Fuck fucking everything!"
"You'll be stripped of your magic if you don't show up for the first challenge!" Bagman reminded
him hurriedly.
Harry turned to look at the man with utter disdain "I have survived being beaten, starved and
locked in a small cupboard for ten years before I even stepped foot in this school. And since I
wasn't allowed to use magic out side of it, I have survived four more years of it. I think I can
survive perfectly fine without my magic."
He went to open the doors but paused, turning and shooting them all a disgusted look "By the way,
relying on a child, who never even set a foot in the magic world before they turned eleven, to save
you is pathetic. Find another way to save yourselves because fuck knows I'm not doing it.” He
pushed open the door as the whispering grow louder behind him but at this point he honestly
couldn’t care less.
"You are making a mistake boy!" Moody called after him.
Harry shot him a grin "You know what? For the first time, I don't think I am."
Then he was out the door. His magic swirled behind him before loudly slamming the door shut in
their faces.
End Notes
Oh my god, I re-read the line "Are they fucking serious?" and just imagined Remus
appearing out of nowhere and stating "No. I'm fucking Sirus.". I can't stop laughing now.
Why am I such an idiot?
