memory; all courts
Harry is ten years old and he's almost an adult. He knows this because next year he'll be going to a new school and he doesn't need to stand on a box to turn the range on. He can make all sorts of meals that he never eats for the Dursleys. Standing up on tip-toe, he reaches the gas knob and feels how the hem of his slacks rise up over his ankles and it makes him smile. His trousers (not really his, really Dudley's) are still too long for him, but he doesn't trip over them as much - not only is he almost an adult, but he can run better, faster, and further without tripping.
His stomach is empty and rumbles as he puts the beans and toast on. Stirring it, he debates whether or not he should be brave and take a few cool spoonfuls for himself before the others come to eat their tea. Normally, he might, but today he remembers the words of their new homeroom teacher. Her name is Miss Ferguson and she's round, jolly, and has chocolate brown hair that falls all over in big, swooping curls. He saw her outside, in a yellow raincoat and thought she looked like a beautiful lemon. (She's pregnant you see, with a bump in the middle.) She told the class that she's always there for them, to help them with school work, with their friendships, and their lives at home.
She lied to them all and smiled about it. It turns his stomach and he doesn't have the heart to steal any beans. All adults lie. He's almost an adult.
