Harry rubbed his eyes. He had, once again, stayed up all night writing and editing the next chapter in his story. He had been working on it non-stop since Dudley’s birthday since he had so much extra time on his hands while locked in the cupboard.

Harry would just smile softly. He had lost his mother but she had lost her
