Childhood Friend
Lily's Point of View
I remember thoughts
That what I could do
Everyone could do
I didn't once think
That I was unique
In a Muggle town
M
I remember that
Sister Petunia
Knew not all could do
The magical things
The wonderful things
Sister Saw me do
M
Mother and Father
The difference saw
But still loved me
And of anyone else
They could not have known
I was all they knew
M
Then you showed up
A bat like creature
Scaring a flower
Yet a child like me
Yet different too
Truth coming to me
M
Petunia I think
Magic disdained
Not from a hatred
But from jealousy
This divided us
I she disdained
M
She called us freaks
Because we were friends
And she could not be
Part of our friendship
She never did like you
Before we two met
M
Though friends we once were
We had differences
It became clearer
As the years passed
I was Gryffindor
You were Slytherin
M
But it was more clear
That day you did it
Calling me that name
Mudblood with disdain
They had all wondered
Why we had been friends
M
You were blind you know
You saw me as pure
But not others like me
He would not let me live
One who was like me
I was not Pure Blood
M
I too though was blind
James I loved deer
But thus you did love me
But choice you did make
Choose my life over theirs
In asking of him
M
He refused too
And another plan made
You turned to him
Equally he was
Thus I he could save
And you left the dark
M
Only to come to find
That the babe had lived
And I had died
Yet he would be back
It was not yet done
There was one path left
M
That was to protect
Little you knew
You haters the boy
Yet for me you did
Protect him from death
And made up for wrongs
M
In the end you thought
This is all for not
But in the very end
Alright it turned
And I will thank you

Author's note - There were people wanting to say there is no way that Snape can have had feelings for Lily. But in the seventh book, it was proven. Snape/Lilly is a canon pairing, though it is a one sided love affair. But their true friendship presented in book seven, this is what these four poems are about. They are from the veiw oints of the four people it most effected. Lily, Snape, Petunia and Harry. Please enjoy.
