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.
