Chapter 23:
A blood purist, Draco by name
Proved that all wizards' blood is the same
So the boy who tricked him
Became his next victim
Draco would never do science again
Jumping ahead to my favorite chapters, though the tone is nonstandard for the medium.
Patronus (chp 43)
His wrist motions were right on the mark
But his wand? Not even a spark.
What is wrong with this boy?
Is his heart short on joy?
Or is it just that it means that he's Dark.
Dementor (chp 43)
From its cloak it stroked his dark side
But he'd face it, with his wand and the sky
Then it struck a deep chord
Out came the Dark Lord
"Headmaster, you annoy me, so die."
Dementation (chp 44)
...His mind hateful and empty of bliss,
Unmoored in that Dark
