I've struggled for so long. Now, my reward
Is close at hand for me and my whole team.
I've lectured them until they all were bored
In hopes one day we could attain the dream.

We've drilled and flown until our muscles ache
And then beyond, in snow and hail and rain.
I know the team thinks this is a mistake.
They have not yet become immune to pain.

No longer do I mind a scratch or bruise
As long as I do not let in the goal.
A beating with a Bludger is old news.
I shrug it off. My spirit is still whole.

I make my vow to all of Gryffindor:
This is the team we have been waiting for.
