I stared at the canopy above me for a long time. It was serene. So small in comparison, I felt like a speck. I giggle. Speck what a funny word. Beautiful were the deep greens fading lighter and darker, as the golden rays of sun warmed the air and pierced the leaves. Warm tones of brown branching out in veins varying in thickness and size. Birds fluttering through the trees, calling to each other. Insects humming and zipping through the air, insearch for food. Critters go on hoping and racing through the canopy and dashing along the floor. Soft trickles of water are gentle and smooth in the background. Leaves one by one slowly drifting to the ground in a petite dance. Warmed and bathed in patch of afternoon sunlight, I couldn't care how I got there. A forign humm throbbed and buzzed in my mind, tender and happy. I could almost forget the pain and darkness I just surfaced from.

Warm and fuzzy I wanted to forget the impending doom of nothing. I wanted to forget the burn of a soul crying in need that I once faced. For my soul now was content. If only the slight ache in my body didn't remind me of what was. My eyes widened in wonder. The prettiest butterfly I had even seen floated into my vision, and I couldn't help but stare wide eyed and amazed. It was just so pretty! A giggle burst from my lips as the butterfly tickled my nose. Dancing off quickly as if calling me to chase. I couldn't help but finally move. Stumbling onto bare, short and shaking pale legs, I almost collapsed. I was so short haha! A stubborn urg to keep going, motivated me to ignore the wobble in my knees and I stood. The vivid blue of wings drifting just out of my reach may have helped.

Small petite hands, my small petite hands, were hidden in the sleeves of the giant shirt that adorned my body. It was the only thing I wore, hanging off one shoulder and coming down to just above my knees lopsided. Only making me laugh as the extra fabric flapped around while I tried to reach forward to catch the butterfly. Giggles burst from me in a continuous stream, as I continued to wobble along after the butterfly. Legs burning slightly as they became stable. Quickly spinning, long snowy strands of hair flew about me. The tickling against the back of my knees when I slowed, only made me more giddy.

The air around me cooled as the sun continued to lower. I trotted around the pretty flowers dotting away. The wind catching in my giant shirt, tugging me along playfully. Round and round in circles we go, the smile on my face never leaving. After all, once I wholeheartedly believed the wind and butterfly actually wanted to dance with me, an innocent warmth spread through me. The leaves that were falling twisted and swirled with the wind and around me. Not once did I notice the small trail of flowers that followed me, blooming with my laughter and joy. Then I fell.

While unconsciously surprised at how long I lasted, it was bound to happen eventually. Not that I minded. Actually, I found it quite funny. How silly I must look dancing with a butterfly and the wind only to fall. Another giggle almost did leave me. Until my back hit something cold. It engulfed me. Panic surged, and the cold icy grip of water didn't seem so gentle and smooth anymore. I screamed. Arms reaching up as my body froze from the shock and fear. This was to familiar. I choked and sobbed on the water, trying to force my legs to move. Slipping in the mud below, my legs couldn't get beneath me. My body is still weak from before. I couldn't, no matter how hard I tried, lift myself up. How pathetic. Drowning in shallow water. Again.

Then something familiar slipped around me. Except this time it wrapped round my wrist not my waist. Tugging me gently onto my feet, and out up onto the bank, my arm ached. But that was nothing compared to the relief that flooded through me. Not even as I choked and vomited up water. I sagged to the ground shivering. It slipped away from my wrist. Groggily, I opened my eyes to watch as a thick green vine from the tree above me, caress my cheek and wipe away the tears I didn't know were there. 'Thank you', I whispered in a voice I wish was so much stronger. The ground below me seemed to shift as the roots of the tree gently lifted me to its base.

As silly as it sounds, I snuggle down into the crook in the roots of the tree. I can't help but feel safe. Shivering from the cold, I could do nothing as my consciousness drifted away. It grew darker, and a childlike fear grew with it. Whispers of a forign panic and sorrow lingered at the edge of my mind. Upset they couldn't do more to help. The stress on my body was too much to handle. Frozen, my last thoughts were of the uncontrollable shivering racking my body. The sun to cold to ease away the chill of my bones.

Something prodded at the back of my mind. Cold. It was too cold. No it was too warm. Fuzzy, my mind was fuzzy, barely processing. Labourded panting, echoed in my ears. Was that me? My eyes were heavy, refusing to open, as I lay curled in on myself. Mud was frozen against my trembling legs from where I struggled. I just wanted to sleep, in the dark it wasn't cold or warm. There was no icy water clinging to me there. I jolted at the prodding at the back of my mind that turned into an incessant stabbing. My mind fully woke at the bout of pain. A howl echoed in the distance. The trees were screaming at me, 'Run little one! Please run, it's not safe… RUN.'

A/N. Sorry this is a bit long, but I feel like I need to explain haha. Harry is dry and warmed up when he wakes in the beginning, cause the tree put him in the sun and has been moving him around all day while unconscious so he dries and gets warm, but doesn't overheat. And so when he wakes up for the second time at night, obv he will be cold and wet because there is no sun to warm or dry him, hence why the forest is upset. Also because he is now a child he won't really question things much and will get distracted easily. Of course he will have moments of maturity and he will think in an older mindset since he is basically an adult in a child's body. Anyway hope you enjoyed!
