Harry: form of Henry, meaning 'ruler' or 'king'
The Ruler
One dark night on the last of July,
A Gameskeeper bust down the door,
The orphan left with a word of goodbye,
The Muggles try to forget what they saw.
Many things happened to the wizard that night,
He was set on a train to a magical school,
Where he would learn potions, spells and flight,
And know that he had his own life to rule.
Unfortunatley Boy-Who-Lived's smile did break,
The Headmaster told him of his parents demise,
Of the man whose face was quite like a snake,
The boy quickly knew which side to despise.
Now the Rulers brain was suitably whirring,
He went to meet and make some friends,
Within a week they had trouble stirring,
Little did they know it would see no ends.
To cut a well-known story rather short,
The orphan defeated the murderer again,
But questions arose and answers were sought,
The Headmaster knew them but not when.
Through the next year more secrets revealed,
Including a chamber and a new tongue,
You-Know-Who wanted immortality sealed,
But his method of how went quite unsung.
In the third school year of the wizard boy,
He learnt of prisoners and Marauders four,
An innocent escapee filled with love and joy,
His Godson proved him and opened a door.
Upon his return to school after holiday,
A tournament of three was resurrected,
Yet to the Ruler's surprised dismay,
His name from the Goblet was elected.
Then forwards he marched to a dragons face,
And rescued his friends from a watery fate,
The cup transported him to a deathly place,
Where the Dark Lord returned from a long wait.
In Fifth year of the Orphans magic education,
A Ministry Defense Professor arrived new,
The students were at loss, needing salvation,
No one believed the wizards words were true.
Finally long last Dumbledores Army was born,
Defensive magic was taught by Ruler peruse,
Their skill was dangerously put to use until worn,
And rumours the Minister could no longer refuse.
The world was treating life with cautious care,
And the Headmaster shone light on a subject,
The Princes book had information to share,
The Orphan learnt about a very dark object.
The Teacher gave the boy a task to complete,
And the ferret also had a mission of his own,
The wizard now knew how to bring Riddles defeat,
But the Headmaster fell down and left Ruler alone.
The trio set about finding pieces of torn soul,
Their lives were risked at every moment,
They tried running away from a black hole,
But managed to give the Dark disappointment.
One by one, the anchor pieces went down,
Struggle and success ran close side by side,
The Slytherin Heir was watching with a frown,
The Vanquisher knew that soon they'd collide.
Great Battle began and strong lives were lost,
And the trio did all that they possibly could,
The Orphan saw memories, then victory's cost,
Accepting death but it did not happen as it should.
Greeted by Headmaster and shown two paths,
The Ruler decidedly feigned his own death,
The unbearably callous sound of Dark's laugh,
But the wizard jumped and Light released its breath.
Amongst the resumed and frightening war,
The final thread to immortality was bravely cut,
The Ruler and The Dark Lord met once more,
And the Vanquisher saved the world in one minute.
From stones and secrets, snakes and new words,
To prisoners and werewolves, dragons and graves,
From meetings and magic, books and cupboards,
To the final end battle and every the life he saves.
Harry Potter will stick with us until the very end,
We'll remember what he did for the good,
We can show our children as they ascend,
And we'll thank JKR with all that we could.
