Dementors on the Train by hufflepuffgal
The worst creatures
To haunt the world,
To lurk in shadows.
The most chilling sadness,
Their aura delivers.
The worst of memories,
They bring back to you.
Your hardest moments,
Seem to come again.
The least welcome kiss,
Worse than murderous in nature,
From their lips come,
Never to be taken back,
Soul never again to be intact.
Never again to live.

So save yourself,
While you still can,
For Dementors and death
Walk hand in hand.
Run and hide,
Somewhere safe,
Your life is not
Easily replaced.

Young Potter, go!
You are not safe!
I can’t stand to see
You joined with your parents,
The loved ones you never knew,
My friends I, too, so loved.

No, Harry, not now!
You now cannot leave!
The wizard world does need you so,
More than it, and I, do know.

So take this chocolate,
To calm you down,
So you can face tomorrow,
And the school year coming around.

With the school year starting,
And startled you are,
I’ll soon get to know you,
As the young man you now are.
I’ll tell you of your parents,
The brave hero’s they were,
I’ll tell you of school days,
Of what they both were.
I don’t know when,
I don’t how,
But I’ll make sure to tell you,
I know that they’re proud.
