Young Harry
woke with quite a start and peered into the gloom,
he groped
but couldn't find his specs to don,
a feeling
told him someone else was right there in the room,
myopically
he peered - "Is that you, Ron?"
His wayward
glasses came to hand, his eyesight now was clear,
a boy was
standing over near the door -
as
recognition dawned on him he lost his early fear,
'twas Dobby
- impish elf of Griffindor!
"Oh Master
Potter," cried the imp, "Poor Dobby's in a fix,"
he bounced
around the room in quite a tizz,
"This poor
elf needs the help of magic's little box of tricks -
a wizard's
spell - and you're the best there is!"
"A house elf
needs no wizard, Dobby, you were magic bred,
I've seen
you make those mops and sweepers twirl"
"But this is
far too big for me, I'm in over my head,
I've met
a...Master Potter...met a girl!"
"Ha ha!"
laughed Harry, "Elfish love, and you need wizard's aid?
I think
you'll find some pills there on the shelf,"
"Oh no,"
said Dobby, "I don't want the magic for the maid,
I need a
spell to work upon myself!
"Don't laugh
now Master Potter, I can see you roll your eyes,
but you
don't understand poor Dobby's plight,
a modern
girl is looking for a boyfriend who has size,
and on the
score of length...I'm rather light!"
The door
burst open, Ron rushed in, Hermione in tow,
"We heard
the voices, wondered who was here"
as Harry
told the story they were quickly in the know,
relieved to
find the house elf wasn't queer.
Hermione
produced her wand, and spoke to Dobby's crotch,
"Expendus
Splendus!" Harry heard her say,
Unfortunate
- the spell was right - but she forgot to watch,
her wand was
pointed right where Potter lay!
That spell
could only work the once, so Dobby missed out bad,
but Harry's
legend echoed Hogwarts Hall:
The wizard
with the powers he obtained from Mum and Dad,
and in his
pants - the biggest spell of all!
Hermione and
Harry were an item after that,
and Hogwarts
heard the sound of wedding bells,
with seven
kids in seven years the wizardry went flat,
but
honestly, they had no need for spells!
Occasionally
a youngster will invoke the Potter name,
and speak in
awe of legends from beyond,
as wizards
came and went one record always stayed the same:
The stunning
length of Harry Potter's wand!
