The Life of Harry Potter

Severus Snape told his master the prophecy with a groan

Starting the adventure of the boy who was never alone

Despite losing his parents at such a young age

And being treated like and animal in a cage

And being friends with Tonks who was accident prone

He soon made friends with Ron and Hermione

And played Quidditch with his team mates and commentator Lee

He was a Gryffindor student at Hogwarts School

A student that everyone except Slytherins found cool

But his life was not as simple as it may appear to be

He fought a basilisk in the castle basement

And rescued his Ron's sister from an evil encasement

He stopped the Dark Lord's new rise to fame

Despite his reasoning being rather lame

He knew his friend had not wanted their life to be already spent

Tom Riddle had risen and murdered James and Lily

And Sirius Black was imprisoned which was rather silly

Because he was wrongly accused of causing their end

And Pettigrew's finger was the remains of the true fiend

Sirius complained about the sells at Azkaban being chilly

But Sirius escaped and tried to warn Harry about the rat

And along with Crookshanks, his friend who was a cat

He caught Peter Pettigrew, but injured Ron

But found a bed to place him upon

When into the room came the man whose animagus form is a bat

He tried to blame Sirius and Remus for killing his friend

But a flipendo knock back jink his way they would send

And he fell to the ground unconscious while they dealt with the rat

None of this would have been possible without Crookshanks the cat

Who's own life had been risked for Sirius' life to mend

They left the shack with the rat as a man

But the moon came out and Remus' transformation began

Sirius turned back to a dog to protect the rest

But the rat ran away towards the west

And Snape protected the students despite not being a Potter fan

Harry ran after Sirius and Remus to ensure they were fine

He found Sirius by the lake with a head wound in a straight line

The dementors were getting lower and circling them both

Coming through the trees and the undergrowth

Harry saw his father before falling on his spine

The following year came the rise of the Dark Lord

After all this time he had felt rather ignored

He was determined to get rid of the boy who lived

And killed Cedric in the graveyard but the one he wanted to kill survived

By this time he had had enough of this game and was bored

A year later came a battle between the two sides

The end of Sirius Black and a turn of the tides

The Order was upset and hadn't wanted him to die

The Death Eaters celebrated but from the Order came a sigh

This war was unpleasant because there were so many divides

The next year came and Tonks was upset

She wanted Remus but her request was not met

Severus killed Dumbledore and the Order's founder had been removed

The Order's strength was diminishing and their power needed to be proved

The Wizarding World was filled with sadness and regret

The next year's ending came as a surprise for many

Another orphaned child, this time named Teddy

The Dark lord was removed from the equation

Hogwarts was destroyed but rebuilt after the invasion

Everything was restored to before its invasion of the deadly

Many years on from the battle of Hogwarts

There had been many new children born, many new starts

The past was no longer as bigger problem as it had been

The memories just memories never again to be seen

Many couples had formed, finally loving with all their hearts

Despite everything that happened in the life of one boy

It saved the lives of others which for now is another story

Many people were grateful to one young man

For saving their lives and that of others as best he can

Their lives all saved and refilled with joy
