A/N: This is for the Album Drabble Challenge on HPFC. My Album is Thriving Ivory by Thriving Ivory.
Harry Potter was sitting on one of the numerous large rocks surrounding the lake. It was around midnight and he just wanted to breathe, he just wanted to escape the prejudice and bias.
He was just watching life: the squid waving one of its tentacles around, an owl as it flew, a raccoon as it searched for food. They all ignored him as he observed them, they just went about their business without pointing at him, without watching his every move.
He loved the feel of the wind on his face, the sound of a wolf or werewolf howling. He loved the crisp smell of the outdoors, the simplicity of it all. He lay down and watched the stars, trying to pick out the constellations.
For the first time since he found out he was a wizard, he found peace.
