In the middle of the night......
Clouds move before the moon and anwards, ghostly shapes against the pale light before vanishing into the darkness.
In the middle of the night.....
An infant,waking up. A lightning shaped scar on its forehead, it opens his eyes... eyes which, reflected by the moonlight have seenthings an infant should not have seen...
Dive into these child's eyes....
A man, running through the forest, one of the last Death-Eaters. He's running through the forrest path and dives into the opening. He leans forward, panting, turns back and sees...
A wizard, his wand raised...
Sirius Black, the convict, screaming as the Dementors pull him off, into a cell... Already he can feel the depair tugging at him, the hopelessness gnawing at his soul, but he won't give in... he can't... he's
Innocent...
The two red haired boys, lying peacefully side- by- side. Their mother comes and checks on them, she sees their secretive smiles and wonders....
Staring up at the moon...
Remus Lupin yells, pressing his hands to his side as his whole body twists and turns in agony... he falls to the ground, and then....
The wolf looks up....
Hagrid sees it and smiles. His visit to Aragog was pleasant enough, but now he is tired, and wants to get back to his hut...
A light in the window...
Albus Dumbledore looks after the owl and sighs. Then he turns away from the window. Barty Crouch will get his letter soon enough...
In another part of the country....
Draco is asleep. The light falls on his angelic face, his suft curls and tearstrained cheeks... he's been crying again, but it won't help him, his father doesn't let anyone near him, for a Malfoy must be strong...
In the middle of the night,
In one moment.
Children lie, people run, someone fghts, andother realises,
Some are content, some cry...
Then the moment is gone. The child closes its eyes, the mother closesthe door, Draco Malfoy turns around, sighs, and sleeps on...
In the middle of the night.
