I never pictured you as my friend Sev,
When I saw you move into my street,
I didn't notice how similar we were,
Until that day fate knew we'd meet.
I didn't know I would trust you Sev,
When I told you my sister's jokes,
And you promised it'd soon be different,
You filled me with dreams and hopes.
I didn't imagine you'd be my best friend Sev,
Or that we'd spend every free moment just us,
When you showed me what magic could do,
Then I got my letter and Tuney caused a fuss.
I didn't know we'd be in separate houses Sev,
When the hat shouted you were a snake,
You sadly turned away from me,
Your stare kept me awake.
I didn't know what they'd call me Sev,
They say that I've got dirty blood,
You stand helplessly watching,
I know you'd help if you could.
I didn't know we'd drift apart Sev,
Until we hardly spoke at all,
Not even a passing glance,
You keep your head down in the hall.
I didn't know what they'd call you Sev,
Or how far they were willing to go,
Especially on that night,
When the amber moon did glow.
I don't know why you did it Sev,
Why you called me worse than dirt,
I thought I could trust you,
But that's the bit that hurts.
I didn't expect to fall in love Sev,
Particularly with that guy,
I did try to explain to you,
But you just wouldn't let me try.
I can't imagine why you did it Sev,
Why you took that mark to bear,
Why you sold your life and soul,
Why at graduation you weren't there.
I didn't plan a baby Sev,
Didn't want to settle down,
But we went back to that old house,
In our stuffy little home town.
I didn't anticipate a war Sev,
Or a madman after my son,
I can still hear the shouting,
Of James telling me to take Harry and run.
I didn't expect to die Sev,
Or leave my son so alone,
In this mad scary world Sev,
My son's going to need a home.
Don't let him go to Petunia Sev,
You know she'll hate him too,
He needs to go to someone special,
Perhaps someone like you.
I didn't know If I'd forgive you Sev,
What you did hurt me bad,
But you're my best friend Sev,
I forgave you and for that I'm glad.
I hope you can find peace Sev,
Find someone to love,
I'll be smiling down on you,
Sending a blessing from above.
