Now we follow the path of our hero Harry Potter as he comes to terms with his terrible past and his first year at Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

The Boy-Who-Lived
Harry was preoccupied as he walked slowly around the Great Lake. He mused the celebrity status he had through Hogwarts and beyond and he paused to think about what he had lost or more succinctly, what he never had. Harry sat down on the lake's edge as he sung his tale…
Verse 1
My name's Harry Potter
And my story's often told
Of that night when my parents died
Killed by Voldemort as they tried to protect me
All lies and more
From the Dursley's who wanted to quash the magic out of me
Verse 2
When I left the Dursley's home this year
I was only eleven
In the company of half-giants
At King's Cross Station
By myself
Trying to find out how to get through the platform
Where the wizards go
On their way to Hogwarts magic school
Verse 3
Lie la lie…
Asking only not to be sorted into Slytherin House
And it hears me
Gryffindor the house for me with my friend Weasley
I do declare that I don't think that the Potions Professor Snape like me
Verse 4
Lie la lie…
Then I got an invisibility cloak
With a note 'use it well'
That was all
I went to find out who Nicholas Flamel was
Instead found a mirror
Verse 5
In the mirror are my parents
Standing next to me
As happy as can be
Wishing they were actually here with me
But Dumbledore came and said
"It does not do to dwell on dreams
And forget to live your parents live within your heart"
Lie la lie…

"Harry, mate! There you are, I have been looking for you everywhere. What have you been doing?" questioned Ron curiously as he sat down next to his best friend.
"Just thinking is all…about my parents." He looked out over the water not wanting Ron to see the tears in his eyes. Ron didn't respond, just slanted him a sympathetic glance as the pair sat in a comfortable silence watching the Giant Squid play around in the water.
