Disclaimer: As I am a simple person who does not own tons and tons of money, I must admit to being a plain American girl, and not JK Rowling. Therefore, I do not own Harry Potter and the connected involved characters. Oh, well...


Four

Four

A Joker

A Wait-er

A Hider

A Traitor

Four

He was a prankster, that Potter. Everyone grouped his friends in that package, but none knew that one was a traitor-to-be. Just as only those Four knew Remus Lupin's hidden truth.

Four

One Skinny

One Small

One Stout and

One Tall

Four

The Potters ran skinny, skinny and full of angles, all the way until they reached their forties, usually. James was no exception, all pointy elbows and knobby knees, only an inch taller than his best friend. Remus Lupin was ridiculously tall, overshadowing the Potter skinniness with unbelievable lankiness.

Four

A King

A Knight

A Wise Man

A Blight

Four

James Potter was a leader, it was as obvious as his spectacles, just as it was plain that Sirius Black was the most loyal man a friend could have at his side. Meanwhile the knowledge hidden within a scarred head grew and grew…

Four

One Stubborn

One Yearning

One Focused

One Frightened

Four

James Potter had been in love with Lily Evans since the very day he met her, everyone knew that. Just like the widespread knowledge that Lily Evans hated James Potter; yet still, James Potter held on to his love. His best friend was not so lucky in love, forever yearning and never reaching.

Four

Year King

And Omen

Balanced

And Fallen

For they are Four.

In the end, the sacrifice of the Year King gains a respite for the people.

And the death is an Omen of War to Come

And the Balance tips slowly, first one side, then the other

And the Fallen are redeemed, for in the end,

They Are Four.
