Hmmm...this is just an idea I was playing with.

I've never actually written freeverse before, so let me know what you think. =)

Please review!

He was the p e r f e c t child;

An A-N-G-E-L personified.

Or so it seemed.

He was a g r a n d actor,

Though only one person really knew.

His brother was his w o r l d

They shared secrets and whispers,

H-u-g-s and LAUGHS

And then he wanted to leave.

His world fell, c-r-u-m-b-l-i-n-g around him

At his brother's words.

"No," he'd told him, "You can't come,

You have to do this, Reg!"

A façade - that was all his life was;

H i d i n g behind masks of words and wealth.

And when he died, he felt so small.

He was but a mere pawn in this huge

C- H- E- S- S _ G- A- M- E.

The Dark Lord was powerful, he knew,

But he had faith in his brother.

He watched as a veil took the only life he cared about,

He watched as his cousin Bella's eyes l o s t t h e i r l i f e ,

He watched as the great Lord Voldemort fell,

And he thought to himself -

'C H E C K M A T E'.
