the drama of our time is the coming of all men into one fate

shot a rabbit from the backseat window

I just had such a vivid memory of when I was about 12 or 13. I was reading the final Harry Potter book that had been released at the time, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.
It was the scene where the Tri-Wizard contestants were pulling their respective dragons out of the bag. At the time, I had a small blue dragon figurine, not unlike the one below. I'm not sure why or how I remember this. I just remember, not wanting the book to end. The beauty of imagination at that particular age is truly amazing. I miss it. I don't think I'm anywhere near as imaginative as I was back then. Nothing in the world compared to those first four books and the magic they held for me, which even lasts till this very day.

Hi there!
I just wanted to say that I really love your blog. It's so beautiful!

Have you heard the Swedish group Detektivbyrån? I think you'll like it, you seem like a person who would.

Take care!
Hugs from Petra in Sweden
