Disclaimer: I do not own HP

Before he was born,

A prophecy was made

That he shall be the one

Who will bring us aid

He looked like his father

Yet his mother's eyes he got

That flash of green light

He never quite forgot

He was one year old

When he was orphaned

For He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named

Decided it should happen

Yet small Harry didn't die

The spell rebounded

To He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named

Many things ended

Dumbledore took him

To his mother's sister

Not till he was eleven

Did he get a letter

He was invited to Hogwarts,

A school for wizards and witches

They light fires with wands

Not wooden matches

At first he was afraid

That he wouldn't fit in

But then he met a half giant

Wearing a moleskin

Very good on a broom

He started Quidditch

A very young seeker

He was often on the pitch

In his first year there

He saved the sorcerer's stone

He faced you-know who again

He really was the one

The chamber was opened

When he arrived

He faced him a third time

And came out alive

He met the dementors

Heard his mother die

Helped his godfather, Sirius Black

But soon had to say good-bye

In his fourth year

The goblet chose him

He had to compete

No matter what his whim

The triwizard tournament

Now had champions four

Only moody seemed to know

What that was for

In the first task dragons

In the second the lake

The third was a maze

Voldemort's plan that seemed to make

Harry and Cedric

Both touched the cup

Then it seemed to jerk them

Away and up

Cedric was killed

And Voldemort rose

His supporters came

And Harry had to pose

Now his wand acted

The brothers had met

The wands didn't do

What their masters had meant

They had connected

And Harry just got away

This was the fourth time they'd met

And Harry wondered why it was this way

Fifth year at Hogwarts

His scar was hurting

About a closed door

he kept on dreaming

He went to save Sirius

But his warning was a fake

His godfather's death resulted

From this mistake

Now Dumbledore told him

What has been foretold

Why he'd been orphaned

Before he was two years old

To Harry Potter the future is vague

All that he knows is

He must kill Him, or everything'll be

Worse than it is
