Note: I rather like this one. Near the top of my favourites list for the themes I've got written.

Harry sat in the Astronomy Tower on the window ledge, nursing a near empty bottle of Firewhiskey. The Astronomy Tower was seldom used, so he wasn't worried about anybody walking in and seeing his intoxicated state.
He shifted his position to have his legs dangling out of the window. He felt free, like he didn't have anything to worry about for the moment. He felt like he could fly.
"What are you doing, Potter?" A familiar voice sneered.
Harry turned his head to see Malfoy standing in the doorway, looking as smug and arrogant as ever. Harry just stared; too shocked at the fact someone had found him to answer.
"Well?" Malfoy raised an eyebrow.
"I'm sitting here," Harry said.
"Sitting there, poisoning yourself," Draco corrected.
"So what if I am?" Harry huffed, wobbling slightly as he took a drink from the bottle in his hands.
"You're a mess, Potter," Malfoy sighed as he walked toward Harry.
"What do you care?" Harry asked cautiously, swinging his legs.
"I don't," Malfoy smirked.
"Then why are you here?" Harry asked curiously.
"To stop you from doing anything stupid," Malfoy drawled, standing to stand a few feet away from Harry.
"I'm not doing anything stupid, though."
"I never said you were."
The two sat in an awkward silence as Harry finished off the liquor in the bottle. He threw it from the window and watched it disappear into the darkness beneath. He turned to Malfoy with an excited gleam in his eye.
"Guess what I can do," Harry said excitedly.
"Hm?" Malfoy acknowledged.
"I can fly!" Harry shouted as he pushed himself off the window ledge, screaming excitedly as he plummeted to the ground.
"Potter, you idiot," Malfoy sighed.
Well, there it is, the second installment to my Theme's trial. I've decided that I'm going to write one hundred themes. Hence the name One Hundred Seconds.
Be sure to let me know what you think. Also, if anyone has any theme ideas that they'd like to see, let me know.
Until next time.
