And as the adventure unfolds, Slowly things come to pass. But within the time between facts There's always time for class.
Transfiguration is taught By McGonagol's self. Harry and Ron come late And a cat leaps from shelf.
This cat has been seen before, That night in Privet Drive. No other than McGonagol Who shows the students live.
"Bloody brilliant," Ron speaks true, As McGonagol glares. She makes a point about the time Amidst the boys' great stares.
And soon we come upon one more The snake we've learned about. The potions class might seem a bore But one has not lucked out.
Snape has an eye on Potter From the very start. And when Harry just takes some notes... He learns of Snape's cold heart.
Snape ponders him with questions About magical facts. Naturally, Harry knows none (Hermione won't relax).
And later in the large Great Hall We learn nothing of school. But that a bank was robbed one day. A vault Harry'd been to.
He had gone there with Hagrid. He wasn't supposed to Speak of it to anyone. Even me and you.
What was inside that vault Was ever oh so small. With security and secrecy What wizards cared at all?
As we go on with magic And we continue fun, We take a flying lesson Made for everyone.
Madam Hooch is teaching, "Up" is a command, It's simple enough: say the word While reaching out with hand.
One student had bad luck, As his broom flew away While in a very poor attempt At mounting it that day.
Neville Longbottom, The boy who lost his toad, Sat atop that rogue broomstick And on and on he rode.
And when it crashed much later, His arm is what was broke. Madam Hooch left them alone, To Miss Pomfrey, takes bloke.
It only took some seconds For Malfoy to take hold Of what was Neville's object. A "rememberall" we're told.
He hops upon his own broom, And takes it for a spin. And only Harry Potter Could go and confront him.
Draco tosses the ball Far into the sky. Harry sets off soaring. How'd he learn to fly?
He catches the ball on time, And hears his classmates' cry. They all came running towards him. He caught another's eye.
And very soon he's whisked away By Minerva like that. He's following quite close behind The tall and elder cat.
Good things start to happen But beware the third floor. For even in the brightest times Darkness can occur...
