Childhood Friend - Lily Evans

I remember thoughts
That what I could do
Everyone could do
I didn't once think
That I was unique
In a Muggle town

M

I remember that
Sister Petunia
Knew not all could do
The magical things
The wonderful things
Sister Saw me do

M

Mother and Father
The difference saw
But still loved me
And of anyone else
They could not have known
I was all they knew

M

Then you showed up
A bat like creature
Scaring a flower
Yet a child like me
Yet different too
Truth coming to me

M

Petunia I think
Magic disdained
Not from a hatred
But from jealousy
This divided us
I she disdained

M

She called us freaks
Because we were friends
And she could not be
Part of our friendship
She never did like you
Before we two met

M

Though friends we once were
We had differences
It became clearer
As the years passed
I was Gryffindor
You were Slytherin

M

But it was more clear
That day you did it
Calling me that name
Mudblood with disdain
They had all wondered
Why we had been friends

M

You were blind you know
You saw me as pure
But not others like me
He would not let me live
One who was like me
I was not Pure Blood

M

I too though was blind
James I loved deer
But thus you did love me
But choice you did make
Choose my life over theirs
In asking of him

M

He refused too
And another plan made
You turned to him
Equally he was
Thus I he could save
And you left the dark

M

Only to come to find
That the babe had lived
And I had died
Yet he would be back
It was not yet done
There was one path left

M

That was to protect
Little you knew
You haters the boy
Yet for me you did
Protect him from death
And made up for wrongs

M

In the end you thought
This is all for not
But in the very end
Alright it turned
And I will thank you
My childhood friend
