I'm Harry
--------
I'm Harry and I've carried
All the hopes of wizard folk
Upon my shoulders just like boulders
Sinking me into the ground
---------
Ron has always gone
Out of his way to be so brave
He's my best friend and 'til the end
I know he'll always be around
---------
Neville doesn't revel
In the limelight, but in hindsight
He has shown he's truly grown
In terms of bravery and strength
---------
Hagrid is quite languid
From the start his giant heart
Has been so kind and it reminds
Me that he'll always be a friend
----------
Hermione Granger battles danger
With her wit and clever bits
Of knowledge she has foraged
From Hogwarts: A History
-----------
The Quidditch pitch is where the snitch
Lets me ignore my woes galore
The lions roar for Gryffindor
And sing our victory
----------
Trelawney is a phoney
And a fraud she always bored
Me half to tears despite her fears
That I was surely going to die.
----------
Although, I'm told, that long ago
Her Second Sight had reckoned right
She prophesised the sure demise
Of Voldemort or I
-----------
Snape appears to hate
Me but remember he's a member
Of the Order (though he borders
On the fine line in between)
----------
McGonagall's not horrible
She's always fair (a trait that's rare)
And Dumbledore is humble for
A man as great as he
----------
Lupin says my father James
Would be so proud to see me now
But they're just words that I have heard
A thousand times before
---------
Voldemort and I have fought
(A prophecy determined he
Or I must die); we can't survive
Together on this earth

This isn't finished yet, which is why the ends of the last two verses don't rhyme with
each other. I thought I'd post it up anyway because it looks like one of those poems
that's going to go on forever! A poem I read once had the same rhyming style as the
one I've used (i.e. there is a rhyme within each line for the first three lines of each
verse). I thought it would be fun to try it, because it ends up being very restricting in
terms of what you can write! Heheheehee :o)
