Harry felt cold, his head was pounding, it felt as though he had been shot repeatably, slowly opened his eyes, Harry could see that he was lying on the frost covered ground. Slowly sitting up, Harry looked up at his surroundings, he was in a muggle town that was the only positive thing that could come of today, that he wasn't going to be on the front page of the daily prophet being described as a drunk. Still a tiny bit drunk, Harry stumbled off down the street where he received a lot of funny looks as he tried to figure out where he was. Harry knew he was stupid, drinking away his problems he was numbing the pain but as a wise man once said "numbing the pain will only make it worse, when you finally feel it" and Harry was feeling the effects now. Sitting down on a wooden bench Harry tried to recall every memory he had last night, he remembered going into the pub and a flash of ginger and that was it, he remembered nothing else. He sat on the freezing cold bench for what seemed like a lifetime, trying to convince himself not to go in the pub, that he didn't need a drink but his willpower lost and he walked into the pub.
The Fox and Hound was a small pub, taking a seat on a rickety old bar stool Harry sat impatiently as the young woman served an old man a beer.
"What can i get you" the girl asked quite disgusted at Harry.
"Beer" Harry grunted not looking at the blonde.
"Id" She said holding her hand out
"I don't need id" Harry slurred out still a bit drunk
"I can't let you drink, if you don't have id, sir" the woman said clearly annoyed at Harry's idiocy
"Fine, i'll leave" Harry snapped storming out the pub door and walking up the street. Harry didn't know where he was going, he just wanted to get away from it all, walking down to small sandy beach, Harry just sat down in the frost and stared up at the cloudy sky, remembering a time where he didn't drink to forget all the memories of the war and of Ginny, memories flooded his mind of gorgeous summer day they had spent at the beach with his godson Teddy. Harry was very glad he was not seeing Teddy today he did not want him to see him like this, in fact he didn't want anyone to see him at all, he knew they'd worry about him, he'd only gone out for a few beers so what if he drunk a little more than expected everyone's done it "Yes but not all the time" a little voice in his head said and although he tried to ignore it he knew that the voice was right.
