A Note- Thank you to all of my lovely reviewers! And my wonderful muse PixiePatronus13675 who helped me through a few hard spots.

And now we reach to the end

To the climax

And we talk of hard times

For the four friends

Alas trust is a fickle fiend

Broken too easily

A war becoming the catalyst

That broke them apart

The Stag, being hunted

The Dog, his faithfulness unwavering

The Wolf, unthinkably questioned

And the Rat, unexpectedly made them fall

Messr. Prongs, he found love

Before he died

A family he'd adored

Protecting them til' his last breath

Messr. Padfoot, he took

The long way out

Twelve years of it

In Azkaban

Never quite getting

What he wished for the most

He died laughing

Messr. Wormtail, he took the easy way out

Scampering away from the danger

Into the hands of the enemy

He was strangled

From very the silver hand

That had sheltered him once

Messr. Moony, he almost grew old

Finding a lover

And building his family

Above the barriers of prejudice

He taught what it meant to be human

He went protecting his home

His Hogwarts

And yet I'd like you to remember

Their boyhood

Their laughter that had once

Echoed through the halls of Hogwarts

Their legendary tales of mischeif

Of their infectious joy

Of the Marauders

Burning brighter than Fiendfyre

Mischief Managed
