4 Chapter 4

Harry quickly went to the nearest children's play park in the neighborhood. There he saw Aaron sitting alone on a motionless swing. He went up to him slowly and sat on the swing beside him. "Hey." Harry greeted him.

"Hey." Aaron greeted back.

A vast silence filled the atmosphere between them. Harry desperately wants to start a conversation with him but he doesn't know how. He wasn't exactly the kind of person who starts conversations with people.

"Harry." Aaron called out. Harry turned his head to his. "I apologize for leaving you earlier and for making you worry."

Harry shook his head. "It was okay, nothing to worry about."

"Thanks man." Aaron said to Harry, giving him a light punch in the shoulder. Both of them smiled until they saw each other smiling, at which point they both stopped.

Harry sees that as a good sign to start a conversation and so he gave a fake modest cough to catch Aaron's attention. "By the way Ron."

Harry stood up and fetch a stick that has the same length with his wand. He then handed it to Aaron and resumed talking. "Do you know that there are non-wizards on Hogwarts?"

Aaron shook his head.

"Hogwarts isn't for Wizards only. It is also opened for Squibs. They're not quite Muggles and they're not quite wizards. Though they cannot attend the school as students but they can work there in other roles."

A moment later, Harry went to Aaron's back. There he said his last few words to Aaron before he gave him a push in the back. "Sometimes, it's okay to be different."

In that moment, the swing moved gently back and forth. The world is like a playground. We must enjoy the little things in life, because one day you will look back, and realize they were big things.
