Master Barty Regrets by Equinox Chick
Summary: At the Yule ball in 1994, Harry watches Mad-Eye Moody clump across the floor with a long-suffering Professor Sinistra. What no one knows, however, is that the dancer is Barty Crouch.

This poem was for a challenge in Poetry Anyone. We had to use music from the films as inspiration for a poem. I chose two pieces from Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire - the waltz and 'Do the Hippogryff' by The Weird Sisters.

Chapter 1 by Equinox Chick
I try not to tread
On her slipper clad feet,
But this clump of a leg
Can’t keep up with the beat.

If I were still young.
If I were not maimed,
Then the girl in my arms,
Would not look in such pain.

I wish I could glide with her -
Float on the floor,
Sweep her up for a kiss,
Tell of my amour.

I have my orders.
Cannot be entranced,
By this wisp of a woman,
Wincing as we dance..

~~~

Watch the boy.
Befriend the fool.
Scare the traitors.
Flatter them all.

Advise the old man.
Hex the scum.
Drink the potion.
Kiss no one.
