Understanding
Fire burning in your eyes,
Anger eating up your insides.
Your rational thought,
Disappeared when I got caught.
Your Memories,
Love for my mother and my father's envies.
Failures you try to forget and Hope.
Your hands winding around my throat.
I try to speak, to say sorry.
More scared than when facing Fluffy.
You're not hearing none of that.
I'm the son of my father, a brat.
You hurl me across the room,
Your expression speaking my foredoom.
Your stalking closer to me now,
Like a butcher to a cow.
"I didn't know what would happen"
I plead and your eyes further blacken.
"Just like your father" you spit,
I flinch, waiting for the hit.
I know you know what they did,
My shields are too weak to keep it hid.
My "loving family",
Seeing me just as a flea.
You freeze and look at me, really look at me.
With your eyes piercing my soul I want to flee.
With understanding in your eyes you pick me off the floor,
"Dismissed. And 50 points from Gryffindor"
Some things never change
