Inspiration

After dipping his pen into the silver inkwell, Monsieur Demengeot puts it back to paper.  As he fervently works, the images that have captured his every thought are brought into existence.  After several hours, with papers scattered all over the same small room, he steps back to see the fruits of his labor.  He is never to know that more than a century after these works are published, his designs will inspire an entire world of wizards in the motion picture production of the Harry Potter series.
