Authors Note - This is set at the end of Harry's seventh and final year at Hogwarts, the night before they are due to go home and not long after the downfall of Voldemort. This is quite sad so be warned!

  

My Friend

 

Many a night I have sat on my bed,

Thinking of things I would like to have said,

Staring across the room to an empty four-poster,

His life was nothing but a roller coaster.

 

I sit in silence scratching my head,

For memories of him before he was dead,

It's all my fault that he is no more,

If only I'd known just what was in store...

 

He was just too loyal and kind,

No better a friend was I likely to find,

He died just for me so I could live

Something like that is so hard to forgive...

 

If only he'd left me to tackle the Dark Lord

Instead of acting as my human sword,

But it was so quick, I just couldn't help,

He barely had time to let out a yelp...

 

But the power of Friendship, Truth and Love,

Combined together from skies above,

This was too much for the Dark Lord to survive,

But unfortunately my friend did not revive....

 

Now, because of my friend the Dark Lord has died,

But I miss my friend so I must really confide,

Hermione and I can't believe he is gone,

He was our best friend, Oh how I miss Ron....
