Once, there were three.
Kin of spirit and kind of heart.
We walked with them.
Learned with them.
Became them.
We opened the letter.
We cheered at the thought of happy life.
We kept the words of the Wand maker.
We boarded the train.
We learned the spells.
Boiled the potions.
Battled the troll.
Solved the riddle.
We heard the voices.
Whispered the same words.
We tossed the ball.
We found the chamber.
We felt the ink from the book.
We saw the memory fade.
We held the sword.
We felt the pain of the fang.
We saw the dog.
We felt the cold.
We fainted as well.
Expecto Patronum
We saw the traitor
We heard the wolf
We rode time
We saved the innocent
We heard our name
We saw the goblet
We charmed the broom
And escaped the dragon
We heard the egg's song
We saved our friend
We traveled the maze
We touched the portkey
We saw him return
You-Know-Who
We took Cedric back
We knew the truth
We met the order
We were in the hearing
We saw the visions
We felt the pain
We held the prophecy
We fought the death eaters
We cried for the one lost in the veil
Tears on our cheeks we chased his killer
We found the book
Listened to its secrets
Whispered the name
The half-blood Prince
We saw the Professor's memories
We saw Tom Riddle
We touched the ring
Remembered the diary
We entered the cave
Boarded the boat
Drank the potion
Saw the horrors
We saw the dark mark
We cast the spell
Avada Kedavra
We watched him fall
We discovered R.A.B.
And then Kreacher was kind
We broke into the Ministry
We got the locket
We chased after Ron
We cried with Hermione
We went to Godric's Hollow
We met Bathilda
We ran from Nagini
We saw the doe
We struggled in water
We hugged the friend gone for so long
We heard of the brothers
The Hollows they made
The cloak,the wand and the stone
We ran from Xenophilius
We met Aberforth
We searched for the diadem
We escaped the fire
We saved Draco
We cried at the body of the Prince
We looked into his eyes
We saw his memories and pain
And discovered that he was
"Always" the hero
We held the stone
We saw the passed
We whispered the words
"I am going to die"
We survived the curse once again
But what cost did we pay?
We had to say goodbye
to those who made us smile, laugh and cry
Fred, Lupin, Tonks, Mad-Eye Moody
Snape, Sirius, Albus, Peter, James,
Lily, Bellatrix, and so many more...
This was our world, and always will be.
The friends we made, the future ahead.
The love we showed for the magic it gave us.
Look in my eyes and you will see that the magic
still lingers there...
