Keep in mind this is my first attempt at the Ferret Pensieve, so please be kind if it doesn't come out the way I intended.

Part 1

Night it was, on Privet Drive
As street lights went to dark.
In the street, there stood a man
His lighter hid a spark.

On number four, there rest a house.
This man strode toward the home.
He had a beard; he stood quite tall.
But he was not alone.

A cat in shadows grew to life.
A woman she became.
Minerva McGonagle waits
To meet the boy of fame.

They exchanged words. They saw the sky.
A twinkle in the night.
When down from heavens came a bike
Shining oh so bright.

Upon a giant rested.
It's one that you can't fear.
Handing Harry over,
Hagrid shed a tear.

McGonagle has questions
Of which Dumbledore eases.
The Dursleys are not the kindest,
But family still pleases.

They leave a note, as well as he,
The boy that lived that night.
He's taken in, but with remorse.
With Dumbledore they plight.

Nonetheless, the boy who lived
Did not live all that much.
He does not have true family
And only dreams of such.

He sleeps in one enclosed space
That rests under the stairs.
And the parents love Dudley,
They're devoted to his cares.

It was on this Dudley's birthday,
To the zoo Dursleys take,
Dudley and Harry as well
Where he talks to a snake.

It's only afterwards, at home
When owls all appear
With letters addressed for Harry
To come to school this year.

A school for wizards, witches too
And magic things galore,
But he won't find out till they're in
A house on stormy shores.

It's here when his whole life changes
As Hagrid comes again.
It's only been eleven years
But Harry learns it then.

The truth about his parents.
His past, his power, his life.
So why is it that he has had
To suffer through this strife?

He wants to go to Hogwarts
And be taught by Dumbledore.
With that, Harry follows Hagrid
Promptly out the door...
