Gryffindor lioness
A/N This is another piece of work to add to my collection. Its just a poem/story about the war from Hermione's point of view and how in war people lose all innocence and often it destroys them.
I specifically chose the people who are mentioned in it because they are each important in both the story and the war. I made approximately two of the characters but that's it and besides they could fit any of the choses positions. I hope you like it and then review it, because that would make me happy.

Shouts of spells and curses make the air thick
The screams of the innocent never ceasing
Fear thick in the air smothering all
Quivering in a mass
The brave lioness of Gryffindor
No longer strong
No longer brave
No longer innocent
As she listens to the shouts and screams above
All sense is lost
All ability to care
Only one side will win this night
But thousands of lives will be lost
'What will they write upon this field?'
The bitter morbid side of her mind will ask
'Here lies the victims of a war not theirs
Young and old
Child and mother
Muggle and magic'
So much innocence is lost this night
From heartless fools who hide behind white masks and cloaks
So many people gone
A clumsy kind hearted Gryffindor
With a green thumb like no other
His wish to do right
Brought him to his early death
Not missed by his mother
Not missed by his father
Gone in much the same way as their minds
Tortured.
A Quidditch loving Ravenclaw
With a smile that could put anyone at ease
Her quest for revenge
For the man she once loved
Brought her to her grave
All innocence lost as she was ravaged
Raped.
A shy trusting Hufflepuff
With a love for all things beautiful
Brought into this war by fate
Innocent in so many ways
Killed on his knees
Murdered.
A cunning flirtatious Slytherin
Innocent in her mind alone
To please her father
She wore that white mask and cloak
Killed by the light side
Because of what she believed
Mercy killing.
How many did the brave lioness know?
How many had she sat near at lunch?
How many had she laughed with?
How many had she helped with their work?
How many will die here tonight?
Smothered by the screams
Wand broken and far away
A tight mouthed professor McGonagall
Hair pulled back tight in a bun
Even now when she lay motionless
Dull cold eyes
Where there was once a light for knowledge
Brought to the ground finally
But not a scream of pain
Not a tear of fright
Brought down by battle
Hit from behind.
A greasy haired potions master
Killed for what he was
A traitor to the dark side
A spy for the light side
Found guilty by a jury of death eaters
Executed by the dark lord
Killed standing tall
Conscience free of guilt.
A kind half giant Hagrid
Who finally found one like himself
His kind words and strong hugs
A memory for his closest friends
His love for all things large and strong
Kept him alive and safe from harm
Long enough for his love to bare him a child
Killed while holding another
Killed with a look of grief on his face.
How many will be forgotten?
Lost in a sea of bodies
The kind hearted fools who believed they could do good
The stone hearted purebloods so set on purifying the world
A lonesome Hufflepuff
Killed by his thirst to be more
Killed with tears in his eyes
For all he would ever be
Is a simple Hufflepuff sandy haired boy.
A witty handsome Ravenclaw
Always wanting to learn more
He lied to both sides
To see which had the best deal
Killed for what he was
A money grubbing
Fast talking Ravenclaw.
A sly cold hearted Slytherin
He wore no white mask
But wore one of his own
An emotionless void of darkness
The key to the light side's success
Killed by his own father
Killed staring straight back into matching grey eyes
Not flinching
Not crying
Not afraid
He died with the satisfaction of knowing his father did care
Knowing his father hesitated
Before saying that curse
A hot tempered red haired Gryffindor
Always being the first to make you laugh
Always the first to hide away from his fears
He died at his best friends side
Facing his enemy like a hero
He died with a grin on his face
Happy for his last moment on earth
In the arms of his best friend
Telling him he could do it
Telling him he could win this war
So many things lost
So many people killed
All because of one man
Who recruited an army
An army of hates
Fuelled by their hate of those less powerful
A war that lasted a life time
And showed so many fear
It changed the world
Both muggle and magic
An old wise white haired wizard
Who lived longer then he wished
Finally free from the world he helped so much
Twinkling blue eyes that never lost their sparkle
Killed so the new world could be born
Like a phoenix from the ashes
Came forth the most powerful weapon of all
The purest power
Untainted by the seduction of the darkness
Wielded by the chosen one
Killed by his foe
Killed blocking a curse for a boy he loved like a son
Killed by a cold blooded murderer
Killed by a man who was barely human
So many lives sacrificed for 'the greater good'
So many people lost by the ones they loved
A hateful evil murderer
Finally brought to his grave
Killed by the boy who lived
Killed by the boy he made
Soon the fear that filled the world would end
As they knew he was finally gone
A fool who believed he was the greatest
A fool who believed he was the best
His hatred for all others brought him to the end
Blood red eyes closing for good
As he saw his death come
A muggle father
A witch mother
He killed them both because he could
Finally gone
Thought few wished him life
The world finally free from the plague that he created
Good and bad
Bad and good
Both killed in a battle that should not have been
A sad young boy
Who wished he had not lived
Labelled as a hero
When all he did was lose his freedom
He would have chosen death
Rather then the life he had to lead
Finally free from the world that he saved
Killed by the final blow
Killed by Voldemort's death
The boy who lived
Now just the boy who was freed
His death brought to life
A new world
With no evil lord
All his life he had been trained
To bring about this new world
To bring about this freedom
Freedom from the shackles and chains
Safety for both muggles and wizards
Years from now in a silent room
With white washed walls
Sat a lonesome girl
Who was once the brave lioness of Gryffindor
Now she sits alone
And re lives that day
The day where she lost everyone that she had ever loved
Her best friend Ron Weasley
Who just could never understood
That life wasn't all Quidditch and cakes
But found that out in the end
Her best friend harry potter
All he ever wanted was to be a normal boy
He felt like that with the brave lioness of Gryffindor
Her hero that she looked up to Dumbledore
Who finally got what he saw in the mirror of Erised
And who finally got to experience the great adventure that is death
So many people that she loved were lost
So many people that she Pitied or envied
Knew or didn't know
The Gryffindor lioness
The Gryffindor princess
And the brains behind the golden boys success
Now sits alone in a cold stone room
And remembers back to her life
Remembers back to the adventures and games
Remembers back to the people that she loved
Remembers back ...
To before the war.
