A.N. — Today marks three out of four days where the focus is on a non-human, or mixed-race, character (one could argue yesterday's subject wasn't human, too).

Drawn to one compartment, the cloaked being drew the door open. Inside, a five-star feast awaited. Sat across from the dementor was a boy whose underlying sorrow was of a rare vintage: still maturing, but its multifaceted depths spoke of a life of misery unparalleled in one his age. Oh, how the dementor savored its rare opportunities to mix business with pleasure.
