Theme 12: Insanity

Harry was excited. He had never been to the countryside like this before; heck, he had never been farther than the park and he never got to go on trips with family before. He was so happy and even Dudley kicking or punching him the entire trip didn't bring him down. Never before had he been allowed to roam the country side to his pleasure, which he did not knowing that the his relatives were half hoping he would get lost and never show up again.

He was running through the woods and just enjoying the fresh air, his attention on the life around him and not on the ground to see where he was running. Because of that mistake, Harry tripped and fell down a rather large rabbit hole.

Letting out a yell, Harry closed his eyes and waved his arms rapidly praying to grab something that will stop his fall when suddenly he suddenly jerked to a stop. Peeking slowly, he found himself…floating? Gasping in surprise, Harry was suddenly dropped, landing on his feet a bit unsteadily. Still reeling from the shock of what he didn't understand was accidental magic, the young boy didn't notice when a strange man wearing a stranger hat was suddenly in the room with him.

"Well, hello!" A cheerful voice suddenly called out, making Harry whip around suddenly in alarm. "Welcome to the Underland! How nice to have guests!"

"Underland?" Harry reapeated curiously, his head tilting slightly. "Just how did I get here?"

"Well little one, I imagine that you fell down that hole as, well, Underland is just that: Under!" The strange man with bright red hair and pale skin grinned at him.

"You mean I'm somewhere under the ground? How do I get out?" The boy asked, thinking of his family who would be very steamed if they had to wait around for him.

"Get out? But you haven't even been yet! Come, come see the sights before you go! Because after all, you need to have been somewhere before you can leave! And oh what sights you can see!" The stranger held his hand out to the young boy, grinning toothily.

Harry was very wary, he had heard his Aunt Petunia often tell his cousin not to trust strangers or go with them although she had never said anything of the like to him. Taking the man's hand, Harry gave a small smile which was returned. The strange man led him out of the room and into a open space which was filled with huge fauna that made Harry gasp with awe.

"This is amazing! This isn't Underland, this is Wonderland!" The raven haired blurted out, much to the other man's amusement.

"Really? Wonderland…Well, that sure does have a nice ring to it." A fondness filled the man's tone as he squeezed Harry's hand slightly.

All day Harry played with his new friends in what he had named as "Wonderland" soon enough though, he was forced to leave and cried and said goodbye to his friends.

"We'll be here waiting Harry." The Mad Hatter said, pressing a kiss to the top of the boy's head. "Whenever you need a bit of madness in your life, we'll be here waiting."

And Harry left and for many, many long years he remained unfortunately sane while the people who lived Under waited, never bored and always mad. The first moment Harry got to finally get away from everything, he went back to that forest in the countryside and down the rabbit hole where he was welcomed with open arms by the mad man he hadn't seen in years.

He was home.
