Dedicated to Pixieberry

THE SCENE: Gryffindor Commons. HARRY tells RON & HERMIONE about the 
eldritch voices he has overheard

HARRY
Now that we're alone,
May I tell you,
I've been hearing something strange?
Either something stole my cloak
Or else a fiend
That none of us can see.
I think I'm not insane,
I've not a damaged brain.
>From everything I've heard,
It certainly is most hungry
.

Sounds I hear
No one else perceives.
Oh, sounds I hear
Roars and shrieks.
Threats I hear
Make you ask
In tones too gentle
If I am growing mental-
Ly weak,
You fear.

RON & HERMIONE
Sounds you hear
They don't go away,
They just grind away,
In a quite psychotic tone.
We say that it's
Not a good sign
Voices to hear
None else divine
What sounds you hear,
They wail... Unclear ...
Unknown


HARRY
How do they go?
Ss-ss-ss-ss-ss-ss-ss...
(They hiss a lot, too.)
With hates they rail 
For blood and gore
No way will I tell Dumbledore!
"Let's rip, let's tear
." 
Was it the Heir?
I heard it say ...
"Beware
I'm mean ...
..Let me
kill you"
Give me will to
Ignore!

Forgive me if I start ...
Forgive me if I wince ...
First heard it with Lockhart
And, well ...
I've heard it ever since
.
