A HariPo freeverse piece
by mew-tsubaki
Note: The Harry Potter characters belong to J.K. Rowling, not to me. A little poem, for once NOT SLASH. XD How funny! Though the tone of this is quiet somber/serious… :O Read, review, and enjoy!

"This is the last call,
This is the final song,
Everyone hear me now—
Together we are strong"

The time to play is gone;

Well. 1st, that's an awesome Wrock song by OBatR, whom I just love. 2nd…I kinda picture this as a little chat between Harry and Ron, the best mates who survived it all (no Hermione here since Harry made friends with Ron 1st). I can almost see Harry getting up and saying this to the war's survivors…can't you? ;]
Thanks for reading, and please review!

2017 note: I vaguely recall this little 2011 piece… Not mentioned in my original A/N, but I graduated from high school then, so it was a bit for me, too. :')
