HARRY'S HAPPIEST MEMORY
Severus, Draco and harry were out in the middle of the forbidden forest next to the cabin, just standing there staring at a fire. Now was, as Severus had put it, a time to think of one's happiest memory. It was so they couldn't really think of some thing sad before they all went to bed that night, Severus was still upset about last Sunday when Draco and harry snuck out. They all watched Harry as he had lost the draw and was to go first.
"I had seen it almost every day for the past week on my way home from school. There was going to be a fair in Little Winging. The first one they have ever had. I remember on the first day the fair was open I saw a few of my classmates with their parents. The Dursley's forbid me to go of course but they went. I do not know when they came home, only that it was early, just after Dark. Dudley had made a mess of him self at the fair; apparently he couldn't hold it in on the tilt-a-whirl." Harry gave a weak chuckle as he stared intently into the fire.
"My aunt and uncle turned in early that night, or so I thought. Well any way, I could not help it; I was eight years old there was a Fair going on just a few blocks away and well I snuck out of the house. I could hear the screaming and the laughter from the moment I stepped out the door... It made me feel so light on my feet. Like I did not have a care in the world. When I caught sight of the fair, I could not hold in my amazement. It was so beautiful. The lights on all the rides and concession stands seem to make the fair turn into its own little world, a different place that could take away all the world's problems. As I came closer, I could see different rides; there was a big one that made you stick to the walls. Then one that was like a giant ring that would make you hang upside down. However, they did not peak my interest in the slightest. The one I wanted to go on was the Para-trooper. To me, it seemed like it was the closest thing I could find to flying." Harry pulled up his knees and rested his chin on them.
"I was too small to get on to the ride, too short. Nevertheless, I would not have been able to get on to it any way; I had no tickets, nothing to get me on to the ride.
I was standing still trying to take in the fair and debating whether I should go home or not. That is when he came up to me. I do not remember his face really but he was so kind, some how he got me on the ride.
The Para-trooper.
I rode it so many times; somehow, he convinced the manager person to let me stay on. Now that I think about it, he may have been a wizard. What he did that night, made me so happy. I will never forget, while I was up in the ride when we got higher and higher all my problems seemed to go away. However, it soon had to be over all too soon I had to go home… Well that's my happiest memory." Harry looked up at the other two males. He didn't tell them about how when he got home he was beaten so badly that he had to stay home from school for a month; claiming to have a infectious disease so Dudley could miss school. Because why was it fair that the freak has to miss school but he did not? Inside, Harry shuddered but it did not show as he waited and watched for the other two to tell their stories.
