Dear Ronald Bilius Weasley No matter what others say I will always be your fan You are such a marvellous character Not perhaps, a perfect one But a character with flaws So real, and so beautiful That we can totally relate to it
In your first year at Hogwarts You played a game of chess In such a magnificent manner That even the Russians of the Muggle world Could not have done any better
In your second year at Hogwarts You faced your greatest fears With a courage and nerve That Godric Gryffindor would have been proud of For the sake of your best mates
In your third year at Hogwarts You almost ruined a friendship For the sake of a rat and a broomstick But you made amends for it By standing up to a notorious murderer That too with a broken leg Again, for the sake of your best mate
In your fourth year at Hogwarts Again, there was a misunderstanding That threatened to derail a strong friendship But you were there for Harry When it truly mattered There was also some ugly ****** jealousy As your teenage hormones took centrestage But at least you got an inkling That you and Hermione Were made for each other
In your fifth year at Hogwarts There was a lot you had to put up with The constant bullying of the Slytherins Especially during Quidditch matches The temper tantrums of your best friend And finally, the evil Dolores Jane Umbridge Initially, due to your nerves and insecurities Your Quidditch performances went from bad to worse But then, you finally showed us The stuff you were made of Saving goals left, right and centre And to cap it all You bravely fought a dozen Death Eaters Yet again, for the sake of your best friend
Finally, we come to the war Due to your never-ending insecurities And anxiety for your family Worsened by a dreadful locket That contained a part of Voldemort's soul You briefly deserted your best mates But returned when it mattered the most Even saving Harry's life in the process And then, as you destroyed that darned locket You finally conquered your fears And transitioned successfully to manhood Finally, during the Battle of Hogwarts You showed us your sensitive side A side that we had never seen before As you displayed your concern for the house-elves Precipitating your first kiss with Hermione Later on, you lost your dear brother But continued to soldier on bravely Even standing up to Voldemort himself Hence, dear Ronald Bilius Weasley No matter what others say I will always be your fan
