Author's note: This is definitely not the best piece of poetry I've ever written, but it is the only fanfic poem I have ever written so I thought I would post it up here and see what you all thought. I know, it's slightly unrealistic that the dark lord was taken done by a girl with a rock but hey, David and Goliath!!! And he was only knocked unconscious, as people tend to when they get hit with heavy rocks. And…it rhymes! Yay! It is Ginny who throws it by the way, just in case no one picked up the whole 'flash of red' clue because re-reading it it sounds like a spell or something. And when I say 'banned from OOTP' basically I mean that Ginny was too young to join and they had to spy on the meetings with extendable ears…I think that clears everything up….maybe.
Well, I hope you like it! I'm not that keen myself but….I'm rarely happy with something I write myself.
Enjoy!
The Final Victory
Fear pounding in his veins
He wonders if it's worth the gains.
Screams echoing from his lips
He runs and runs, but then he slips
The figure towered high above him
The future looked dark and grim.
--
He stares up at the evil red eyes
His heart drops, his hope dies
This was the end, this was it
He was going to join the pit
Of victims of the evil dark lord
But out of the hat, came a sword
--
He raised it, ready to strike
The lord laughed, eager to fight
To prove he was truly the best;
With Harry Potter, he began to jest.
The boy was losing, he was going to win
Now nothing could stop his path of sin.
--
But suddenly there was a flash of red
And something heavy hit his head
Down and down the powerful man fell
His new home would be an Azkaban cell
Harry stared up at his saviour in shock
A red-haired beauty, holding a rock
--
She couldn't believe she had really done it
Taken down the dark lord with a single hit
Sure, he was just unconscious, he'd be back
But she had halted him with just one whack
He'd been taken by surprise, just as she planned
People underestimated the girl OOTP had banned
--
Harry took her into his arms, holding her tight
They stayed hugging each other all night
The lord stayed lying on the floor
Having forgotten once again, the major flaw
In the plan he always tried and failed to carry out
Harry had too many friends, all with no doubts
About the love and protection they were willing to give
To ensure Harry would continue to defeat him and live
--
The next time the lord awoke, would be to have the kiss
Never again would he hear Nagini's threatening hiss
Finally the Wizarding world would be safe and free
The defeat of the dark lord would make everyone see
That whatever happens light wins over dark
Enough of evil, forget the death eater's mark
--
Let the children laugh, make friends and play
Let the adults smile and go their own way
Let Hogwarts' houses reunite and truce
Let chains fall off and ropes come loose.
And let the wedding bells ring
And family and friends sing
As Harry becomes Ginny's king
