The Potions Master

Walking down the torch-lit hallways,

Thinking only one word : Always.

That one day her curtain falls,

That one day that Death calls.

I will not forget her body, sprawled,

I sat there on the floor and bawled.

My cheeks flush, my face red,

Why not the other boy instead?

Over the years, I act on lies,

But I won't get my desired prize.

I live and die for love and hope,

Distractions are only how I cope.

I'm on his side, Dumbledore,

I wish I could have helped her more.

I would kill Peter, he killed Lily,

But then I ask myself : really?

Still walking in the corridors,

I can't help thinking I want more.

It's not fair, no one cares,

It was her death I couldn't bear. I'm all alone, then I die,

I don't know where my body lies.

Do I still love Lily? Of course I do,

But she's happy without me, I'll tell you.

So now I walk the torch-lit hallways,

Thinking only one word : Always.
