Harry Potter is special for me, it's special for so many of us.
In real life, we were so alone.
Some of us were friendless, some of us felt misplaced, some of us were bullied.
Some of us clung to our isolation, because it was what protected us, it kept us safe from letting others hurt us.
Some of us were spiraling down a deep, dark path of depression and confusion, and felt like we had nobody to talk to, nowhere to turn, nothing left.
But there was a light at the end of this tunnel.
Fictional characters, they saved me, they saved us.
Harry Potter.
Hermione Granger.
Ron Weasley.
Luna Lovegood.
Draco Malfoy.
Neville Longbottom.
Fred and George Weasley.
The list goes on and on.
These people became our friends, and in time, we met others through them, other Potterheads, who became our friends.
For all my smiles and my laughter, I am completely alone inside.
But, during those dark and lonely times, somebody offered their hand to me.
Harry made me smile,
Ron made me laugh,
Hermione helped me cope,
Neville taught me to be brave,
Luna made me accept my uniqueness,
Draco helped me overcome my trials,
and the Twins showed me a world full of wonder.
They were there when I truly needed them. They listened to my rants, they comforted me. They welcomed me into their world.
So you see, I understand now.
I am not alone.
For with my books, I am with my friends.
Friends who will never leave me.
I may, in time, forget them, but they will never forget me.
And I know, that with a turn of a page, I will return home.
To a place, where magic and love and friendship never ends.
Where everything is perfect and will stay that way
