Complete the Circle chap. 2

He was floating in a sea of darkness, no direction nor purpose, just gently drifting along with the current. He was soft and warm, but something nagged at him, something he knew he should know, but he couldn't quite remember it. Giving up on the thought, he shifted a bit to see what would happen. Something slightly firmer than the sea pressed down on him, and he pressed back. A faint touch was felt from the other side of the barrier and he fell asleep knowing he was not alone.
There was a faint noise know penetrating into the warm sea of blackness. He didn't like it. He knew it entailed something big, but not something he was willing to face. He tried to go back to sleep when something abruptly changed in his surroundings. It was if someone had opened a window and a draft was coming through. The sea around him was churning and pushing on him violently causing him to move. Abruptly light pierced his eyelids as a rush of cold air washed over his body, an unearthly scream announced his displeasure as he was torn from his haven. Noise and light surrounded him, overloading his senses as he continued to bawl. He knew something about this wasn't right; he just could not place it.
His body was enveloped in warmth, different from the sea but just as agreeable, and as the noise quieted down so did his cries until all was silent. Then a deep warm voice spoke above him.
'I present to you my second son, Heron Jamison Gryffindor!'
And as the last echo of his words died, cheers rose to the ceiling along with the lusty cries of an unhappy baby.
