this is from my wip for @1dfrightficfest – harry’s having some trouble with an old painting hung high in a gallery. gender vibes and very very loose swirls of the picture of dorian grey.

The weather seemed to match his melancholy. It poured for days straight, the rain a constant sheet lashing against the windows, gales tearing through the iron balustrades outside. Harry tried to continue his walks, laced up in a great overcoat and rain jacket, but a heavy fog rolled in, so thick he could barely see his own hands outstretched in front of him. After several afternoons of increasingly hopeless attempts to inspect the gardens, trying to sense his path by the vagaries of the light only to end up face-first against the dripping tiles of the manor, Harry resigned himself to the truth. 

He would have to stay inside. 

No matter, because there were plenty of things to do inside that did not require having to enter the art gallery or even pass by it. At least, that was what Harry told himself.
