As usual, there is a disclaimer attached to my work. I may not own J.K.R's work, but I do own the plot(?). Enjoy!


Sanctuary

To Whom It May Concern,

To them this place is a nightmare

A dim and dank prison to which they are sent

It's all understandable of course,

The walls weep with cold moisture

Spaces between stone walls are constantly frigid

Preserved newt's eye waft through the corridors

Raising the sting of putrid bile to the throats of students

To those unfortunate,

The familiar bubbling, boiling, failure covers them

And the deep anger of a professor assaults frightened ears

To me this place is a dream

An appreciated hiatus of darkness that shields from a harsh light

Others cannot begin to fathom my contentment

The damp air that sticks to your skin

A Gray recurrent earth pattern is cool to my warmed form

The Amortentia beneath me secretes imitations of my favored novels

Remembrance of the school matron's offending Skelogro prickled on my tongue

Rarely have I failed,

Never have the gentle, wispy fumes been more than a ghost traveling up my arm

Always an uncertain voice of soft praise that barely flutters through my eager ears

This prison is my sanctuary

Sincerely Yours.
