Harry Potter and the Goblet of FIre (412-464)

Following the Yule Ball, everyone at Hogwarts is in a euuphoric (nice usage of the vocab there, right mr h) state, well everyone except for Ron. With the Triqizard Cup put on hold til February, everyone is anticipating the upcoming Hogsmeade trip and holiday break. Hermione who is subscribed to the Daily Prophet, receives it one day and it includes an article about Harry.

The article basically talks about how Harry was this really important guy and kept calling him "the boy that lived". Which all is true, but Harry wishes nothing has been said. He really has a lot of humility so having to go survive at a school that portrays him as a cocky, pessimistic duesche sucks. He begins basically hating everything about the school. At least he has Ron now though. Anywho one of the biggest things was really interesting to me, he always is saying that I wish I could be like you Ron. Or you Neville. I wish no one knew who i was, i wish i had a normal life, i wish i wasn't the boy who lived or anything special, and i just wish i had my parents or at least Sirius to talk to.

That i think is the first time that i have really ever felt a true empathy for Harry. Like before I'm like okay yeah dude you got some pretty bad luck, but this just frickin sucks. It is quite a shame i must say...
