Sessions 1 and 2
Dragon and Savior
Session 1
“Harry, I want to talk about what happened that day.”
“I don’t want to.”
“I can’t help you if I don’t know what’s wrong.”
“I am beyond help. Besides, I’m not worth helping.”
“Why?”
“Because…I’m fucking weak and pathetic.”
“In what way?”
“I saved the whole goddamn world.”
“From Voldemort, you mean?”
“Yes. I saved the fucking world, but I couldn’t…”
“You couldn’t what, Harry?”
“I couldn’t save him…”
“Who?”
“Fuck you.”

Session 2
“Your file says that you graduated from Hogwarts last year, right before the Final Battle. What have you been doing since then?”
“Nothing.”
“You work at Malfoy stables, don’t you?”
“Yeah.”
“Do you like horses, Harry?”
“Yeah.”
“Do you have a favorite horse?”
“Yes.”
“Tell me about him.”
“His name is Dragon. He’s a palomino. He looks just like a treasure, solid gold all over, with a pale blonde mane and tail.”
“Mmmm, he sounds gorgeous.”
“He is. Pure-blood, too.”
“Excuse me?”
“I mean, purebred. He’s a purebred Thoroughbred. Everyone always said you can’t have a palomino Thoroughbred, but they were wrong.”
“Do you like to ride him?”
“Yes.”
“How do you feel?”
“Free…safe…he doesn’t judge me, you know. The rest of the world…they judge me. They look at me, and all they want to see is their fucking savior. They don’t care that I can’t be like that all the time.”
“Like what?”
“Perfect. Powerful. Strong. Everyone expects so much…all the time…I hate it. I was always the ‘Boy Who Lived.’ So much attention…so much expectation. No one would listen when I tried to tell them I wasn’t good enough…I’m not strong enough…I couldn’t protect him! Even your dad expected everything from me…”
“And you felt that it was hard to give sometimes?”
“All the time. Everyone wanted everything all the time. Except Dragon. When I was with him…I could just be myself. Imperfect. Weak. Vulnerable. And he didn’t care…he loved me anyway.”
“What other horses did you take care of besides Dragon?”
“Let’s see…there was Watcher, Beefy, Traitor, Darky, and…”
“And?”
“Abuser…”
“Those aren’t their real names, are they?”
“No. But that’s what I called them. My names fit better.”
“Why?”
“Because.”
