Before you read this please to not judge to harshly. The Jolly Leprechaun and I completed this while we were in utter bordome in French Lessons. Siriously I think we might have slipped into Depression pretty soon. So while Madame Whoever was blabbering on about whatever we decided to pay tribute to a great hero who sadly passed away.( Pause to sniff ) Be warned there are death threats in this but they're just to Bellatrix so who cares. Anyway I hope you enjoy this work of art please please please review!

An Ode to Sirius Black

1960, a stormy day
A family knelt down to pray
A small boy was born that year
Who was destined for hope and fear

His family brought him up to be
A muggle-hating wannabe
But Sirius however turned away
Oh how his family rue that day

He was sorted into Gryffindor, not Slytherin
And for that his family hated him
In Hogwarts he made his greatest friend
Who helped Sirius' life to mend

A little group of brothers he did find
Brilliant, courageous and daring in mind
For they were the greatest people who exist in songs
Were Moony, Traitor, Padfoot and Prongs
(for all we could care Wormtail has gone and drowned in a ditch)

All for one and one for all
Standing straight and proud and tall
We are the marauders as you can see
Humiliating the Slytherin enemy

They invented the marauders map
Which also included the shrieking shack
They roamed around the grounds at night
And gave Snivellus quite a fright

His flowing locks of raven hair
Coupled with his mysterious stare
His good looks you could always see
How I wish he'd smile at me

Such good friends the marauders were
Nothing their friendship could deter
What a pity they all say
That Wormtail betrayed and walked away

Out of school he now was free
To be anything he wanted to be
New events and friends to
And engagements coming out of the blue

He was James' and Lily's best man
And he got drunk as only he can
Little did he then know
That Voldemort would come and give him woe

The coming of James' and Lily's child
Was enough to send Voldemort wild
Sirius then Peter became their secret keeper
However Wormtail had got into something deeper

An Order of the Phoenix member
But there was one night that Sirius will always remember
The day he saw Prongs on the ground
Lying still making no sound

Sirius blind with fury and hate
Found the betrayer but he was too late
For that night the rat achieved
More then anyone would have thought to believe

Alas that Sirius had been framed
By a man who was though not to be blamed
Taken away without a trial
And forgotten by most for at least a while

The dementors made the air feel tense
But Sirius knew his innocence (inner sense)
Revenge and hate burned strongly inside
So our hero crossed the ocean wide

For months at Hogwarts he did wait
Until Wormtail took the bait
He would kill him deep at night
When the moon shone silver bright

Moony and Padfoot stood, hatred in their eyes
But Harry stopped them so they wouldn't break their friendship ties
His fathers will and wishes for Harry would come first
And anyway Azkaban for Peter would of course be worse

But that little traitor had one more trick up his sleeve
While the moon was full he escaped and chaos was left to weave
Sirius was left a wanted man surrounded by creatures of hate
For his innocence to publicised he would have to wait.

Now his story comes to an end
The life of a hero and a great friend
The greatest of the marauders ever known
He left poor Harry on his own

He always was the greatest star
His greatness shone from out from afar
His parting, so full of woe
Why ever did he have to go? (Threatening voice)

For this we all hate Bellatrix
So lets all beat her with metal sticks
She should be the one to die
So come with us and say 'bye bye'

Although his life was full of sorrow
He always lived like there was no tomorrow
Now we accept he had to die
So goodbye, Sirius.. goodbye
