Excerpt: Past, Present and Future

Once upon a time,
in a place not unlike our own,
There lived a boy,
who is now grown.
His name you’ve heard time and again,
but his story has yet to meet an end.
Even though his enemies be vanquished,
and things set straight,
it seems Harry Potter has yet to meet his true fate,

Now from Hogwarts,
to the Ministry,
Harry’s life has been a mystery.
No more the calling card of all to know,
just another wizard,
an average Joe.

His friends, too many to name,
Have faded,
into the crowd from fame.
Although none will be forgotten,
of that you can be sure,
for now their lives are normal,
as we will soon learn.

Fred and George still messing about,
Their joke shops defying doubt,
That their success is a fact,
But their practical jokes are still
*splat*
Poor Faith, her dreams are still hidden,
Though her visions true.
She tries to hold onto her Fred,
Before their time is tried,
But he doesn’t seem to notice her sacrifice.

Lavender, or Mrs. Potter as she’s now known,
Has a little trouble of her own.
Harry’s work comes first, his family second,
Which has grown since last we met him.
Lavender’s thoughts have turned empty,
With boredom and strife,
No longer does she want to be a housewife.

Scarlet, always in trouble,
Is still leaving a trail of bottles and men.
Although she knows her time is ending,
She is still holding on to what is collapsing.
She and Ron haven’t changed,
Their speaking skills are beyond each other,
Even their age.
Ron having met hardships along the line,
Is surprised to see after all this time,
That something still isn’t right,
And he’ll have to continue to fight.

Hermione and Krum.
What can I say?
If ever there were a perfect pair,
Let them stay far away.

We begins in a time not so far apart,
From those of Harry and his famous scar,
And His destiny to destroy,
You-Know-Who.
Ten years from their Hogwarts days,
Another letter arrives,
To invite them back and see,
Who has changed, and who is the same,
But three days they’ll have,
To make and break whatever they had.
