Daily Prophet
A Day in the Life of The Boy Who Lived
By Rita Skeeter
Harry Potter wakes up much like every other day: All alone.
Oh, of course he rooms with four other boys his age in Gryffindor House. Harry's solitude is the loneliness of the soul, that which only an orphan who is the target of a powerful dark wizard can know. Spending these early moments in quiet mourning for his parents and all the others in his life that have fallen, he finds a way to bury this all inside before he dresses and leaves his dorm, tower and house - his sanctuary from the world that has been so very cruel to this brave young man.
Harry takes his meals in the Great Hall at Hogwarts with his dearest friend Ron Weasley and also Hermione Granger. They also spend most of their time together due to the fact that they all belong to the same House. Between meals, Harry attends his various classes. The young hero of the wizarding world has fashioned his schedule that it is geared toward a future career as an Auror. Potions, Defense Against the Dark Arts, Charms and Transfiguration are prominent in his curriculum.
Any free time the young man has is spent between the quidditch pitch and his studies, although the author has it on good authority that Harry actually needs more time spent on both. Sadly, it seems that the poor boy's attention has been woefully diverted by the constant threat of You-Know-Who's army and the War. We here at the Daily Prophet can only hope that the courageous youth will be able to do what needs to be done when and if the two great wizards ever meet.
Before bed, Harry meditates alone in his bed, with bed curtains drawn. It seems that he needs this time to wind down from his stressful day, and it's been intimated by a close personal friend of Harry's who wishes to remain nameless, that if he doesn’t spend this time to sort things out, he can be heard sobbing late at night when most are asleep.
When asked to comment on the events of his days, the reclusive young man declined to speak with reporters.
Oh, honestly. Don't believe everything you read.
