Our Scar

Back with more poems, this time not just from me. Being the huge Harry Potter fan I am, it wasn't long before I wrote one about the books.

Our Scar

One day Harry Potter roamed round the world,

dropping eyeglasses for others to own.

J.K. Rowling pushed the glasses into our view,

And started something exciting and new.

The day I stumbled on my own pair of glasses,

I wasn’t sure what to see or to go.

When I tentatively put them onto my nose,

From the paper magical things arose.

I began to see different than ever before,

I truly saw past the end of my nose,

I saw past what things seemed to be,

And saw the true world in front of me.

I saw people that could be my friend,

Who would always lend me more than one hand.

I saw places I could travel to,

When things were wrong and I needed things new.

From Harry I learned how to be brave,

Hermione taught me all knowledge could save.

Ron told me it is ok to go back,

Ginny showed me kindness’ path.

Luna told me its good to be different,

 Neville showed me everyone’s stars

Malfoy told me how to make the most of my chances,

Dumbledore showed me the weapon of Love.

Sirius taught us to see past misconceptions,

 Lupin showed us how to live through the pain

Pettigrew betrayed and showed me I need to be loyal,

 Lily and James say nothings in vain.

McGonagall straightens out young Potter,

Slughorn learned how to live things out.

Snape shows how hard it is to let your love show,

And we thank Hagrid for leaving his open door.  

Trelawney, Flitwick, Sprout, and Ms. Pomfrey,

Umbrage, Lockhart, and Filch entertain us for hours.

Quittach, House Cups, competitions, and parties

Makes Hogwarts the best hope we know.

Gryffindor shows me to be brave to the test,

Ravenclaw says being clever’s the best.

Slytherin teaches that it’s good to have ambition,

And mine, Hufflepuff is kind and takes all the rest.

Voldemort shows us how he took the wrong path,

The Death Eaters follow his lead,

Of course we all cry when to help others succeed,

Dobby gives up his own life.

Tonks, Kingsley, Mad-Eye, The Weasley’s ,

Fudge, Bellatrix, and Scrimegour

I know I’m forgetting some,

But they all help me go forward today.

We cry at their deaths,

We laugh at their jokes,

We scream for their triumphs,

From our hearts we are thankful.

I want to cry when I take off the glasses,

But I put them in my pocket for another time.

When they aren’t on my eyes,

Harry is always in the back of my mind. 

Harry Potter gave us a scar, our scar

So we know the glasses will always somewhere be there, 

Let’s all stand up and give a round of applause,

For we are proud to hold the key- to Harry Potter.

It's still being revised, so tell me If something sounds bad. Now Emily decided to write two poems with her ideas. You can see she is a true Slytherin, and me being a Hufflepuff I don't always agree with her, but they are good poems. It's pretty good for her having put it together in 5 minutes.

Draco Malfoy

So misunderstood

But I really get you

As no one else could

I know you did it all

To help save your folks

But all other people

Think you’re a horrid bloke

Everyone thinks

You’re a cold-hearted person

But it was in self-defence

That Harry you were cursing

All the fans hate you

Because of some stuff you did

But I understand why

Even though I’m just a kid

You saw your mistakes

And you wished there were zero

You made the best of your chances

And that’s why you’re my hero.

Here is another one. This one is good too. I need her to think of titles though. I like her long words.

I’d like to start off by saying

That I don’t mean to offend

I’m just stating my opinions

So please read to the end!

Gryffindor, the well-loved house

Is stereotypically perfect

But I think they’re obnoxious jocks

And full of disrespect

They are the known as the “good” house

Which is perhaps why I dislike them

Everyone has flaws, but theirs aren’t shown

Are they really such true gems?

Hufflepuff, so loyal and true

I feel bad saying things against

Really, though, they’re so pathetic

And should hardly be commenced

But I suppose they have good hearts

And for that reason I’m proud

To read about the Hufflepuffs

That make our world go round

Ravenclaw, the braniacs

Are really nerds at heart

But I think it’s commendable

For them to be so smart

I am, of course, part Ravenclaw

So I do have a soft spot

For those bookworms rarely mentioned

We owe them quite a lot

Slytherin, the so-called “evil”

I feel a certain love for

Because really, I fit right in

A Slytherin to my core

They aren’t evil, just misunderstood

And never show their feelings

Because they don’t want other people

To help them in their dealings

I’ll wrap it up, thanks for your time

I hoped you liked my thoughts

And if you didn’t, well I warned you

That with controversy this was fraught!
