"You're a great wizard, Harry."
"Not as good as you."
"Me?! Books! And cleverness! There are more important things, Harry--friendship, and bravery, and--oh, Harry, just be careful."

I stood, my eyes closed
In an icy rain
With my arms outstretched

My smiling face turned
To the welcome warmth
Of the hidden sun

And gently, I laughed
At how I must look
Out there in the rain

There's something inviting about rain, I think, even when it's cold.
