(AN: This poem is set during Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, shortly before the Weasleys rescue Harry from the Dursleys.)


Interlude: Before the Rescue

I stand at the window, a picture frame

Capturing an image

A perfect street

Picturesque

Normal

I wonder what the fickle fans would say

To see me now, locked away

A prisoner, trapped

In my own

Bedroom

The workers come, not looking through the panes of glass

To see the anger, anguish on my face

A barred window

Picturesque

No longer

With the rising moon, I stand again at the window

And see the shadow cross its blue-white face

A flying car

Friendship

Rescue
