Flying Free

[harried-potter.livejournal.com]

[Saturday Evening, just on twilight]

Harry doesn't know what the rules are about broomsticks and flying. He thinks he should probably check the rules again. Then again, what kinds of prohibitions could there be as long as he's not dropping things on other students?

The restlessness in him is like a nagging ache. Studies all week, no Quidditch, and neither Ron nor Hermione around to hang out with. He didn't realise how integral his friends had become to him in those six years at Hogwarts and he misses them. So he takes his broom from his luggage and heads outside to the courtyard, ignoring the other students.

He kicks off, and suddenly the world is below him, his glasses are pushed back up his nose by the force of the wind and his knuckles are freezing.

And he loves it.

*Fires a flare at Harry's broom tail just to see what would happen*

*sees the flare coming and banks away from it, letting it soar off into the evening*

*makes note to have talk to the other student about the rudeness of shooting at someone 'just for fun'*

*curses that the flare missed him broomstick and then decides to light up the sky for him with a fireworks display. So, a Fire Works display worthy of Disney World times 7 lights up the sky for Harry*

*watches his classmate fly with longing in his eyes. It's been two weeks since he's flown and while this version is a lot different than what he's used to, it still looks wonderful*

Sora spotted Harry flying up in the sky as he walked around, not liking the cramped area of his dorm. He sighed with a grin and kinda wished he still had Peter's magic to fly.. then again he hadn't tried since he'd gotten there.

From high up, Harry could see the glances he was getting at his flying, but not really the people down there.

He figured he'd get inundated with questions later, anyway.

Getting a whistfull look on his face, Sora closed his eyes and thought of all the good and fun things he'd done since he came to the school, the friends he'd made and all that.

Soon he felt himself get lighter and opened his eyes to see the small sparklings of fairy dust floating around him. With an even brighter grin he kicked through the air and flew up to join Harry.

Harry pulls up and stares at Sora. "Hey," he says, staring. "That's a neat ability!"

Sora grinned back at Harry as the flew along side him. "Thanks! It was a gift from a friend." He smiled closing his eyes a moment and just enjoying the feeling of free flight without the worry of something coming up and attacking you. He smiled again at Harry and looked at the broom. "Hey, that's pretty cool looking too!"

"Firebolt," Harry said. He kept his words short because the wind was blowing hard enough to lose anything he said. "Gift from my godfather."

Archie, relaxing quietly outside the dorms as he works on a letter to Horatio, looks up in the sky to see his roommate looking more relaxed and at home than he ever has since coming here. A smile, tinged faintly with envy, crosses his lips and he waves upward on the off chance that Harry can see it from so far up.

Harry glimpses the tiny figure waving, and squints a little. It's hard to see this high up and this far away, but it might be Archie.
