| Dumbledore Could ordinary people even dream of such a mind As can be found inside these halls of learning? I ponder this, aware the only answer I will find Every single time upon returning No, there is not one like him, not even among peers For there are things that set this man apart Things that lift the spirit and diminish human fears When knowledge blends so perfectly with heart He has turned the world around for some who would have died Restored to others pride and dignity For many, if his trusting and forgiveness were denied They surely would have suffered endlessly Recognizing all that is worth saving in mankind Crushing evil so goodness will endure Powerful his magic, wise and wonderful his mind His influence will live forever more This Albus Dumbledore! |
| McGonagall Minerva, Minerva, I find in your name The wisdom of ages reflected A vivid persona of one who became A mentor so highly respected I see you before me, in front of your class Their eyes filled with anticipation For all of the magical skill they’ll amass As you demonstrate Transfiguration They knew you expected the best from each one And they knew you meant what you said They knew that no special favors would come To those in the House that you head For fairness, a hallmark of yours that’s well-known By all you have taught through the years Is one of the traits that students count on And what brings respect from your peers As a cat you will wander where mystery calls Fulfilling one more destiny As deputy head of these hallowed stone halls, You’ll help wizards be all they can be Some will have seen your gentler side A side that showed sorrow and mirth Such humanity, even pure genius can’t hide Nor can it measure the worth Of the greatest teacher on earth |
