Yellow, red, orange. Incessant crackling. Mesmerising.
Harry had been watching the fireplace for the last hour, undisturbed. Most of his house mates had gone home for the holidays, leaving him alone in Gryffindor tower. Yet he did not feel lonely. Not tonight when the fire created dancing shadows around him—warm shadows of all shapes that took him in their loving embrace.
A contented sigh escaped his lips.
He barely noticed.
Gradually, his eyelids drooped. Harry snuggled deeper into the sofa he was sitting on. Comforted by the soothing noises of the fire, cradled in its warmth, he fell asleep.
