| Snape What colors are you wearing On the inside, buried deep? How well are your dreams fairing When you settle down to sleep? Which side of nature’s fences Are you sitting on these days? Are you making recompenses For your early, darker days? Do you still abhor the magic That is not of “wizard born” Do you find it good or tragic Bearing manners full of scorn? Will you feel the wrath acutely From the one you served before? Are you standing resolutely On the side of Dumbledore? Does the loathing you still carry For past adversaries known Carry over still to Harry And the friends he calls his own? Or, is harshness how you mentor? And was Albus right to trust? Would a more forgiving nature Win some peace for Severus? |
| Draco No mentoring to point the way From darkness into light No guardians at home to say What’s wrong and what is right No lessons in humility Or empathy for others And no endowed ability To count all men as brothers Do you truly feel the one Your family serves would care If you would die tomorrow, son No sorrow would he bear The one you wish to serve could never Be content if all His enemies were gone forever Each follower would fall If under Dumbledore a lapse In discipline you make Detention, loss of points perhaps Would be the worst you’d take But under evil, one false step And death will be your fate There is no hope, nor promises kept When humanity comes too late |
