Harry ran to the forbidden forest, not caring about the dangers hidden within the dark wood. He'd faced many of them before and those he hadn't faced he was sure he could tackle. He ran deep into the forest. He knew Draco had not followed because the he knew Draco was too scared to enter, but he had continued running anyway. He stopped only when he found himself in the middle of a group of thestrals'. He found them to be amazing creatures. He sometimes wished that everyone could see them.
They all watched him closely not knowing if they could trust the human or not. When they found Harry to only be watching them and not seeming like he would do anything dangerous they continued with playing with the small thestrals and continuing with their way of life. They still watched him though. Making sure he didn't harm the young foals they had.
Harry pulled a leaf off the tree and then took a stick from the ground and transfigured a pencil and drawing pad. He watched them and sketched them. Harry had often down this. Drawn down the beauty of the world. The last of his work had been burned. His uncle Vernon didn't like them. Harry smiled as one of the smallest of the thestrals walked towards him and nudged his hand. Harry stroked the animal and smiled. The elder thestrals watched closely. Harry kissed the young foal on its nose and left towards deeper woods.
He sat down when he felt he could walk no further. He pulled out the quill which never left him along with his dagger and started to write.
I've always loved to draw. For my cousins birthday he always got a drawing pad from some neighbour who owned an art shop. He always threw it on the floor and forgot about it. I always stole it and a pencil from school. I hid the drawings under my bed. I always used to draw the park opposite my house with the children playing happily when I had a spare moment from doing the gardening. Then I drew the flowers and the insects. I always loved to draw the spiders from my cupboard. They were always so interesting to study. So strange, almost something unreal… I don't know I just always liked them. For a while whenever I found a fly or caught one I would feed my spiders. They were always mine. I thought it was something I owned. That was until my aunt found them screamed and my uncle killed them all. He would check my cupboard everyday to make sure I hadn't snuck one in. I missed my spiders.
I was in the forest today. I am still in fact… anyway I found a heard of thestrals' and I drew them. They are truly magnificent creatures, though not many have seen them. You need to have seen death to see them. I of course have. I drew them in their natural habitat…I think I did a good job of them… these drawings though, they will be burnt just like the rest when the holidays come. My uncle burnt all of them, all my art. The only thing that seemed to be beautiful in my life… for now I have no beauty…except maybe her… but how long until she leaves my life? I also have him… but he is not exactly mine, in my mind I want him, but … I can't hurt her.
Harry drew a thestral from his many small and large drawings in his sketch pad. It was of the baby that had come up to Harry lying next to its mother. It was a very good drawing for someone who was losing so much blood. Harry's magic flowed into the drawing and worried eyes of the baby thestral looked at Harry.
Harry drifted off with the loss of blood he had grown tired. There was a sudden gust of wind through the forest and the wind carried his latest note off to where, Harry did not know...
