A/N: Alright, this story is a poem, from Dumbledore to Harry. It's set right after the end of the fifth book.

Good Intentions

Six years ago, I watched you every day

Like a cat, waiting, from predator to prey

You were just a young child, craving attention

Now how to convince you I had good intentions

Your first year here, you were so afraid

You came with such hope, were met with such hate

You shouldn't have had to worry about more than detention

Sometimes I blame my good intentions

It was your second year, you'd just come back

So young, yet so weary, pulling a sword from a hat

Already now, you were filled with apprehension

So much for my good intentions

Two years ago, you'd thought you'd found a friend for forever

You never dreamed rats could be so clever

By then your life had filled with tension

I wish I could've done more with my good intentions

In your fourth year, you were chosen by the Goblet of Fire

Witnessed a murder, a resurrection, a liar

If only I had done more to prevent it

I think I've weakened you with my good intentions

And now this year, there's no turning back

You lost so much of what you already lack

Things haven't turned out the way I wanted them to be

I never dreamed you would grow to hate me

Now I'm waiting to see if we can ever heal our trust

Or if it's a broken tragedy, gathering dust

Now for all this pain that your drenched

I think I've given up, on good intentions
