Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter (because if I did, this kid wouldn't have been put through so much unjust hell).


A child who grew up way too fast
A Prophecy once given in the past
Had changed his life before it begun
So they say it's up to him to win this one

A girl who's told she doesn't belong
Does her best to prove them all wrong
A witch staring through muggleborn eyes
With her determination, she will rise

A redhead who lives in the shadows of his brothers
Trying to shine and separate himself from others
Standing beside his famous friend
He'll overcome his envy and fight to the end

A timid boy who's expected to be
His father's son, but can't his grandmother see
That he's his own person, he'll change as he grows
And become someone worthy to be called a hero

A pureblooded young man with parents who are dark
On his arm, he adorns the Death Eater's Mark
But now he's uncertain and fearing for his life
Because now it's filled with terror and strife

There's more of them, kids just like these five
Kids who shouldn't have had to fight for their lives
Who should have felt safe while going to school
Who shouldn't have feared their new Headmaster's rule

Lives and innocence, taken and lost
Childhoods sacrificed, but at what cost?
Young adults, children, with soldier eyes
Who had stood tall against the lies

Forming secret armies and fighting back
What else could they do while under attack?
Not right, not fair, but they had no choice
Abandoned and forgotten, left without a voice

They were children who grew up way too fast
Their carefree lives all left in the past
Thrown into a war that they didn't start
The brave, the cunning, the loyal, the smart
