&quot;You&#039;re a great wizard, Harry.&quot;<br /> &quot;Not as good as you.&quot;<br /> &quot;Me?! Books! And cleverness! There are more important things, Harry--friendship, and bravery, and--oh, Harry, just be careful.&quot;

Black smoke pouring forth
Darkening the afternoon
As truck sirens wail
The window's ladder
Helps bring people to safety
And then is removed
The fire trucks arrive
But I can't see the hoses
'Cause I drive away

The author's comments:
I saw a fire in an apartment building, and I was really curious about what was going to happen and if the people were going to be okay, but my family left and I had to go too. I came home and wrote this, still wondering what had happened.
