A Remus Poem

For Mum, who'll never read it.

By Galatyn Renner

Every full moon night

A wolf cries at Hogwarts

And wonders what might, might have been.

If he had not walked that night

Full moon night, alone

The wolf might not have been.

But still they let him come to Hogwarts

And so he hides three nights a month

Wishing he were dead.

And he would be, without his friends

But they don't know

And he can't tell.

So he lies, moon after month, to them

Hating himself for what he is and what he does

But they find out.

And they forgive him,

Join him, saved him

In every way a person can be saved.

Now, almost free, he has come back

But they are gone

And the wolf howls alone again.
