A/N

This is another one from a Writing Contest on the Neopian Writers Neoboards on Neopets. The topic was "The Battle of Hogwarts/Department of Mysteries." That round's judge told me that it was a "Great idea, but techincally you didn't write it. I loved it but..." when she judged the round, and obviously I didn't win, but I figured I'd post it on here, anyway, because I also really like it, which, for my poems on the NW's Writing Contests, is pretty rare. I've edited this quite a bit since last night, when I posted it in the contest, and it's quite a bit longer than the first version. Not all of the rhymes worked out perfectly, and at times it is a tiny but incoherent, but I actually think I did pretty well with it, for the most part. Every single line/quote in this poem was taken from Chapter 31 of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, "The Battle of Hogwarts." The numbers are to tell you who said each quote. The names that go with the numbers are at the bottom.

I rather enjoyed writing this, and it's quite possible that I'll do something else like this, at some point in the future. Be sure to review and tell me what you think!
