Prompt: limericks
I didn't even know what limericks were at first, so I had to google it and it kind of got me in that moment. I had to try that ^-^
I wanted to do something funny, but it turned out kind of sad - I'm sorry ;A; Hope you like it anyway 3
Limerick - Poem: aabba
The Life of Remus Lupin
There was a young boy, bitten and cursed
Poor and lonely, his life's at the worst
Then the school he attends
With three good friends
Has changed his life for good, - at first!
There was a young man, who fought for what's right
Beside his friends as an 'Order of the Phoenix' knight
But on Halloween
An awful scene
That has destroyed his life's every light!
There was a young man with a terrible bite
But his three best friends showed him another sight
With all of them gone
He has to move on
And there was nothing left to rewrite!
There was a man, who came back to his heart
A job as a teacher, since he was smart
Followed by his old life
That hurt like a knife
But he found Harry, that's a wonderful part!
There was a teacher, the most favourite of all
His friend's son, a murderer and the news to appall
A meeting in the Shack
His friend was back
A huge plot twist and what a close call!
There was a man, not a teacher anymore
But still well knowing what he cares for
Harry Potter and Sirius Black
But the Dark Lord is back
He returns to the Order, ready for the second war!
There was a man to be a knight anew
But his wisdom and abilities, they all grew
A fight in the chamber of death
A fight, hold your breath
A veil, the end, his best friend fall through!
There was a man, shattered and sad
In his dead friend's house he is going mad
He falls in love
Something he's not proud of
But maybe the end is not always bad!
There is a man, a husband now
He gave Nymphadora Tonks the marriage vow
Harry on an important mission
He can't help in his position
Afraid to be a father soon, just wow!
There is a father, loyal and brave
For a better future he had a lot to waive
Times passing by
There is the battle cry
And nothing's more worth than the life he gave!
The Life of Remus Lupin by Edward Remus Lupin
Harry wiped away the tears he wasn't able to hold back. He couldn't tell anymore, why he had read all of it to begin with, but now it was too late and he felt bad for invading Ted's privacy.
He just found it in between some of Lily's drawn pictures, but just as he couldn't stop himself from reading it, he now couldn't bring himself to put it down.
"What do you think?" Harrys head turned towards the door, in which Teddy was leaning against the doorframe. He said nothing. "About the limericks I mean. It's my poem you're reading, right?"
Teddy said and walked to the kitchen table, where Harry was sitting.
"Well I'm not an expert on poems, but it's good enough to make me cry." Harry let out a small, guilty laugh.
"I guess they're pretty crappy then. In general, limericks are humorous." Teddy smiles.
Harry gave him a sign to sit down and Teddy took that invitation.
"I didn't know you like poetry." Harry confessed slightly ashamed.
"I don't. Victoire loves them though. I overlooked some types of poems and that looked like something I could do. I was writing some for her, but at another night – I don't know. It just got me and I was writing this."
"It's beautiful." Harry stroke through the boy's hair and watched the change of colours with a wide grin on his face, but Teddy's smile vanished all of the sudden and Harry's followed suit.
"It's all I know about him. Sometimes I think it's a lot, but then again it's so far from enough."
"I know. I always wondered what my parents were like, when I was younger. From time to time someone told me something about them and if you gather those information it seems to be a lot, but you still don't have the feeling to know them at all. You just know facts about them." Harry let out a deep breath. "Still, it feels good if someone is talking about them. In fact, I think it was your father, who told me the most about my parents. It was always easy to talk to him. It felt good."
Teddy smiled unintentionally. "It does feel good to talk about them. And you know it's easy to talk to you too. So - thanks."
"You can always come to me Teddy. You're always welcome here." Harry paused for a short moment. "And you can always ask me about your parents." Harry looked at the boy, awaiting hundreds of questions, but there was only silence.
"I don't know what to ask. I don't know what I didn't know about them. I just know that there must be a lot."
Harry smiled and for another minute silence filled the Potter's kitchen.
"I could never stop calling him Professor Lupin." Teddy looked up.
"Not even after he resigned. I'm not exactly sure why. I guess because he taught me so much. He taught me how to protect myself from dementors. He was the one, who made me hear the whole story and that was so important! He taught me about patience and that I shouldn't risk my life easily. He taught me that I couldn't bring back Sirius and protected me wherever he could. He taught me a lot about fear … on so many levels. and of course…"
He looked at the boy to his left. "He taught me about the value of chocolate." Harry chuckled lightly and also Teddy smiled shortly, before looking down on the table in front of him.
"I know what they were fighting for and I know that it was important and that they had to … but why did they have to? Why did they have to leave me?"
Harry looked at Teddy thoughtfully.
"They never left you." The boy looked up at his godfather with teary eyes. "You can always find them – in here!"
