I solemly swear I am up to no good



Yup! It's that time again! Time for more random nerdiness. Obviously, today's theme is Harry Potter!

This is one of the best book series I've ever read. I can't recall reading other series that made me laugh out loud, tear up, and keep me reading because I have to know what happens next.

I didn't start out with Sorcerer's Stone. I starte with Goblet of Fire. Which in some ways was better than others. GoF was the half-way point of the series, and it introduced Voldemort as a serious threat. But I was confused as all get out about somethings. Like why Sirius was called Snuffles; or why he was on the run, for that matter. I had no idea what Quidditch was, and a whole sort of other things. So I had to go back to the first three books to answer my questions. And then, I was hooked on Harry Potter.

A good friend of mine suggested I share this, since it's nerdy and all and totally hilarious. This is a ABC poem I wrote waaay back my senior year in high school.


The Last Chapter

ABC Poetry

 

As Harry walks

Back into the forest, I

Clutch my book

Dearly, begging him not to.

Everything has led to this moment in the

Forest; I wait, maybe

Grawp will come.

“Harry,”

I whisper through the pages,

“Just wait a minute.” But he can’t so many  have been

Killed, fighting for freedom.

Leaving everything he loves, he

Marches into the wood,

Not knowing the final ending

Of his story.

“Please,” I beg. “Let Harry be okay.”

Quietly, the Death Eaters plan genocide.

Rowling is a genius.

She’s got me, completely ensnared at Hogwarts.

Too soon, Harry makes his last stand.

Understanding it must happen, I think of the

Various betrayals that brought Harry

Where he is now.

Xenophilus, Quirrell, Wormtail, Draco, Snape.

Yawning, I force myself to close the book, seeing Harry’s

Z-shaped scar, peek between his hair.

 

And now, the seven part saga has reached its end.

Mischeif Managed.
