The happiest I have ever been.

It's summer. Last summer to be exact. The sun beats down on my neck. The hot sand between my feet. I am in North Carolina with my two best friends visiting our teacher/friend. We are walking down the beach about to run, hand in hand into the Atlantic ocean for the first time. We run full sprint into the water and I brace myself for the chill of the water. It doesn't come- I have been to the ocean more times but always forced to deal with the freezing waters of the Pacific. This water is bath temperature. As my two best friends stand on either side of us we hold hands the waves crash upon us. They can't take drag us anywhere, we are too strong, the three of us together. The blue skies, the best friends the perfect temperatures. I am laughing and giggling. This is the happiest I have ever been. If I were living in the magical world of Harry Potter and I was forced to make a Patronus charm I would think back to this moment and nothing would be able to touch me.
