28. To Mr. Fred Weasley

Friday, October 19, 2007
running fast past Filch's office
after setting off a few dungbombs in the hall
and selling skiving snackboxes

and stealing the map from Filch's office
to sneak through the castle walls
and perfecting jinxes on your stuff

Oh Fred, my hero
one half of the Weasley twins
one of the greatest pranksters I've ever seen
tell me that this was all a dream

running your own store
and selling all your Wizard Wheezes
shield cloaks, headless hats and patented daydreams
and even your own assistant, her name is Verity
oh please

Oh Fred, my hero
one half of the Weasley twins
one of the greatest pranksters I've ever seen
tell me that this was all a dream

Oh Fred, my hero
one half of the Weasley twins
one of the greatest pranksters I've ever seen
tell me that this was all a dream

and like a wall, life came crashing down to the ground
and with a boom, impending doom
crushed us all
as we saw you fall

Oh Fred, fallen Joker
last in the chaos of it all, of this once broken world of darkness
and you, who helped us to smile
please it can't be true
that I won't see you again
