“It was as if someone had lit a fire in my head, and the Dementors couldn’t destroy it ... it wasn’t a happy feeling ... it was an obsession ... but it gave me strength, it cleared my mind. So, one night when they opened my door to bring food, I slipped past them as a dog ... it’s so much harder…” quote by J.K. Rowling

““It was as if someone had lit a fire in my head, and the Dementors couldn’t destroy it ... it wasn’t a happy feeling ... it was an obsession ... but it gave me strength, it cleared my mind. So, one night when they opened my door to bring food, I slipped past them as a dog ... it’s so much harder for them to sense animal emotions that they were confused ... I was thin, very thin ... thin enough to slip through the bars ... I swam as a dog back to the mainland ... I journeyed north and slipped into the Hogwarts grounds as a dog ... I’ve been living in the Forest ever since ... except when I come to watch the Quidditch, of course ...””
