For all my life I had been ostracized
First for penury, then for lupine form
Lifetime of solitude was assured
The only thing comforting was the storm
Then sudden acceptance, allowed in school
Sorted to a House for the brave at heart
Yet still a secret gnaws at me, the fool
To think no one would guess; my friends are smart.
Though I expected disgust and loathing
The Marauders thought my condition fun
Their pronouncement I found quite shocking
My friends are the greatest under the sun!
Now I have found true acceptance from all
I shall savor it before we must fall.
