Dungeon Four
Six to nine
Gutting newts
Detention
Potter's fault
Hexed me first
Something he
Didn't mention
With my potions I will change the world
With my potions I will
Make you see how wrong you were to
Walk away
Leaving me
All alone
In the dark
Nothing left
Following
Voldemort's
Ambition
With my potions I will bottle fame
It's not flashy, a subtle science
Elixirs to gain control
Stopper death or ensnare the soul
Bewitching memories and minds
Of enemies so you will find
I'm more than I used to be
I'll keep you safe— you'll see
One day soon
You'll regret
Choosing him
Over me
I won't say
Told you so
Take you back
Graciously
With my potions I will change the world
With my potions I will
Change

A/N: This poem was inspired by Snape's description of Potions in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone and the brilliant Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog, specifically the song "My Freeze Ray". I used quotes from PS (chapter 8) and like in my Addams Family homage The Malfoy Family (snap, snap) I used the beat (the dah-dah-dah of the three syllable lines, etc) and general rhyming pattern of the inspiration. I hope anyone who's never heard of Dr. Horrible will go to youtube and find the My Freeze Ray song clip so you can enjoy it and hear the melody in your head. If you end up watching the whole thing you can thank me later. :D
