Harry Potter was in bed in the gryffindor tower. For the sake of argument let us assume he was having a rather pleasant dream. Harry was having a rather pleasant dream: he had just caught the snitch winning the game; while not an unusual occurrence this was for some unknown reason better than normal, Possibly because of the presence of a certain Ravenclaw seeker. “Harry” a voice called. “meh”. “HARRY”! the voice called. “What”?! cried Harry. “It’s breakfast” replied Ron. “oh”. “well thanks mate”. Harry and Ron met up with Hermione on the way to breakfast and the trio proceeded in company.

Present time.
“Potter”. “Yes sir”. “Why, might I ask, are you late”? Hissed Severus Snape“I forgot the time, sir”. “Well, mister potter, I must ask you to refrain from further tardiness”. “Now let us begin”. “Legillimens”! Harry could feel Snape in his mind.

Afterall, there is a reason behind why pencils have built in erasers, white out was invented, and apologies can be said. Mistakes and faults are a natural part of human nature.…

Privet Drive was a dull and miserable existence for Harry. He was without friends, was shown no love, was given little to eat, and he experienced very little happiness throughout his time there.…
