A Bitter End

Harry James Potter is 15 years old and has endured more tragedy than most Wizards in their 70's. It seems inevitable that the Gryffindor would one day snap. Will one man be able to save the Boy Who Lived before it's too late? Will Harry ever know what it is like to live in a loving home, a place where he's wanted?

"I used to dream about it
but never schemed or counted
on fantasies or wishes-
it breaks a man to see what he misses
So many nights I'd pray
for a better life, a better day
but I never thought that it'd come true
now that it's here, I don't know what to do
and I'm trying not to cry
This must be how it feels
to have a home"
