The years passed quickly, and every day was a new begining to Harry. Everything was so new to him, and it made him very excited.
He learned how the nature worked, and he memorized his forest's every corner, from the tiniest leaf to the old owl which hooted haunted melodies at the night. As the days passed by, he watched patiently as the flowers grew, he listened to the addicting sound of the winds rustling through the thick trees, and he sunbathed in the little clearing that was in the middle of the forest. Life was so perfect for a while.
Then the whispers came, whispers of evil.
That day the sky was full of dark clouds, and even the birds that cheered him up with their enthusiastic songs were hiding from the hidden evil the clouds brought along.
He didn't know what this evil was, but one day he heard a scream instead of loving whispers. When the horrible sound ended, the whispers continued, however the words were carved in his mind.
He is back.
Years passed again, and nothing disturbed peace except the horrible whispers. In these years Fawkes gained a human form, and often went to explore Middle Earth, leaving Harry alone with the whispers.
When Fawkes returned she brought many things along with her, among these things were fascinating stories. Harry often wondered how it would feel to see the rest of the middle earth with his own eyes, but as always he dismissed the thought immediately. This was his home, why would he want to leave?
The world was made out of pain wasn't it?
Harry didn't know for sure, it had been such a long time. And he didn't want to find out for a long time, but Harry had already learned that not everything happened the way he wanted them to be.
Like everyday, Harry woke up very early that day, just to see the orange light of the sun peeking through the thick leaves. Like everyday he closed his eyes and tanked the forest for being his home for so long. And like everyday, he sat on the highest branch of an ancient looking cedar tree. However, unlike everyday, he couldn't hum the same song as he did everyday.
Because that day someone interrupted his song. That day a man with long brown beard arrived along with Fawkes and her fascinating stories.
The brown bearded man did not leave. Harry didn't mind much, he got along with Fawkes pretty well and he taught him new songs to hum on top of the ancient cedar tree. Because he had to confess, his forest was getting a little boring.
Maybe a little more than that.
"I will be leaving tomorrow," said Radagast the Brown Istari, or 'the brown bearded man' as Harry called him. "and you are coming with me." he continued.
"Why would I?" answered Harry feeling a little annoyed to be ordered around.
"Why wouldn't you?"
"I am safe and loved here, if I come with you, can you guarantee these things?"
"No, but I can guarantee you will have some fun, Valar knows you need it."
And even though he didn't want to leave, the man was right and he couldn't find a reasonable answer. Or maybe he wanted to leave, deep in his heart, because really, 'having fun' was the stupidest excuse he had ever heard, yet he still didn't have the heart to refuse the man.
