Photograph Love
I go through the photographs Ron has sent me from his first year. He and Harry Potter, he and Scabbers, he and the twins, he and Harry's Nimbus Two Thousand, he and his best friends.
The last one catches my eye. I can't remove my eyes from the girl who stands there, smiling contentedly. She's not exactly what one will call beautiful, but to me, she looks prettier than any other girl. The way her warm brown eyes are lit up in a smile, the way her rosy-pink lips are shaped—she looks perfect.
I wonder if Ron will bring her home in the holidays—and if I'll be able to go home during that time.
Someone calls me from behind, pulling me out of my thoughts.
I sigh. I did that again, didn't I?
'Grow up, Bill!' I tell myself, imitating my mother's voice, hoping it will stop me from thinking of all this.
At night, I'm back at the table. I lean into the chair, staring at the photograph in my hands—dreaming of her.
