Crawling Through The Dark

Disclaimer: Don't own them but I got dibs on Harry when he's 18, I see potential.

Author's note: Yep, I'm a fanfictionnet first timer so please be objective! This is actually a school piece that is for my yr12 SAC (school assessment thingy) so any comments are very welcome (be an English teacher for a day!). Please review and suggest what you would like to happen to because after about 1000wrds I can stop for school but will continue if worthwhile, k? K! Sweet!

Dark watcher

Unbeknownst to him, another hidden figure was cloaked in darkness nearby, watching not the wind but the boy, a rarely seen emotion flickering briefly across his features. The sympathy had escaped as quickly as it had appeared, once again replaced by his trademark sneer that inhabited his face more often than not. It had once been predicted that even in slumber he was angry, always cursing the world he'd been thrown into.

His dark eyes traced the movement of the boy as he stepped into the wind, embracing it as he closed his eyes, breathing it in deeply.

The scene before the man was a familiar one, he recalled having witnessed it before, although from a slightly different perspective. His mind still retreated to that distant memory when it needed to be centered, to become objective…to re-freeze his soul.

As much as he'd verbally refuse to admit it, he knew what the child was feeling as he'd too felt it. He to had once needed to escape to the wind and darkness to concentrate but also to be free, without fear.

For many creatures, the dark was a forbidden entity; a feared implication of the night where none should roam and loneliness was advised against. The black was a creature that attacked lone prey and savaged the innocent without remorse.

The man looked back to the boy who'd shut his eyes again to his own darkness and allowed his unruly hair to explore his face freely.

Accept for them. He and the boy invited darkness with open arms, welcomed it into their souls and drew the needed energy from it to face the next day…

AN: Hopefully more to come and thank u all soooo much for the reviews and constructive help, much appreciated. Please send future ideas along too as after about the 100wrd mark, I'm freeeeeeeeeeeee from the school confines. Thanks again!
