Harry was really dreading school today. Not that he didn't usually dread school, what with Dudley chasing him as if it was some sort of sport.
But, he really really didn't want to go to school today. Why, you might ask? Because today every single second grader in D-211 at Northridge School would be making a card for their mommy and daddy.
The teacher, unaware of the situation, made Harry make the card too. Her word's of "encouragement" were "Come on, Harry. Don't you want mommy and daddy to be happy you made them a card?"
So, Harry took out his broken, used color pencils that he found in the garbage bin, and started to draw. While he was making his card, with tears pooling in his eyes, he was unaware of the fact that two people were watching him.
Lilly and James Potter. They each had tears silently streaming down their faces, as they watch their poor abused son making a card for the parents he never met.
