The end of May brought warmer weather. The sun was shining brightly and the birds were chirping. All remnants of winter were gone and with it came the flowers. Spring was probably one of my favorite times of the year. The world came to life after a long time of being asleep. While it had been spring for a bit this year, it came later than usual. It seemed poetic that the winter, the darkest time of the year, held its grasp on nature like Umbridge did on Hogwarts.
