Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter.
On the second day of Christmas my friend sent to me distrust.
The fears that enflamed mistrust,
Were never founded upon,
For they were towards another friendship that would surely rust.
He didn't realize it was a bad omen,
That his friend's face flooded in relief,
When told he had friends' lives in his hands to suss them out in the open,
To be able to reinforce someone else's belief.
A cowardly friend decides to be traitorous to save himself. He didn't notice.
He thought friendship meant more than selfish reasons. He was too naive.
His future, without his son, is hopeless.
On the second day of Christmas my friend sent to me distrust.
Marriage and friendships becoming corrupt,
All she can think about is the past because she cannot cope for the future.
Her son might still have lived if a friendship did not end, abrupt.
Maybe, just maybe, her young family would be alive if that friendship was nurtured.
The Dark Lord oblivious to the prophecy with other endeavors to construct.
Another friend would not be affected if the other was not a lurker.
That would be giving that friend too much credit. No need to consult,
But their dear friend would remain traitorous to save himself further.
Dumbledore says to give him a second chance; people can change with no assault.
Yet she can not stop thinking of how, vicariously, the many lives he murdered.
On the second day of Christmas my friend sent to me distrust.
Arguing, trying to figure out what the other was thinking. Both felt just.
A foolish plan had been hatched making the other question the latter's sanity.
A switch was made so another pursued the family would be safe, a must.
By having the future traitor be the Secret Keeper. A ruse testing one friend's vanity,
And another's courage to face mortality in order to keep a child safe as discussed.
Surely, the child's godfather would be willing to die for him and adoptive family.
There was knowledge that a traitor was amongst them and godfather has no trust,
In himself and for the other friend so why should that friend not see him as a enemy.
A guise that proved fatal. If the godfather kept his role then the plot would bust.
The other friend lost the little trust in the other and now sees him with animosity.
