[Fandom: Harry Potter]

.

The panorama of glittering lights spread before her,

a vast chasm of emptiness to the naked eye,

but lack of sight was not the same as being alone

even if there was not a single sound or cry

.

Hogwarts had been a greeting of distant relatives,

A long-lost friend that offers a warm welcome

yet a stranger at the same time;

it wasn't home

.

A childish replica of the abyss above,

protected by its sewn holster,

nothing but an added inconvenience:

a little accessory for them to accept her

.

Magic was free,

a beautiful light from within the darkness,

little more than a beacon of hope in the shadows:

the home she couldn't help but miss
