Harry Potter and the Magical Transformation

Excerpts from Harry's Diary

Dear diary, I am Harry, but also not quite...

I am Harry, but also not quite, For I am someone else inside, A secret love that I must hide, For the wizard that my heart has eyed.

I long to tell him of my love, To cast away my fears and doubts, But what if he cannot accept, The person that I am devout?

The magic that we both possess, Should make us bond with pure intent, But what if all he sees is me, As someone he could not befriend?

I yearn to be my truest self, But the wizarding world may judge, And so I must keep locked away, The love that I cannot divulge.

So I remain in inner strife, A battle fought inside my soul, A love that cannot see the light, A longing that cannot be whole.

But even in the darkest night, I know that love will find a way, For in the end it matters most, That we are true to who we say.

I am Harry, but also not quite, For I am someone else inside, A secret love that I must hide, For the wizard who I can't abide.

Draco Malfoy, my secret flame, A love that dare not speak its name, For how could I explain the tide, Of feelings that I cannot hide?

The animosity we both share, Should keep us far apart and rare, But what if all he sees is me, As someone he could never be?

I yearn to tell him of my heart, To cast away my fears and start, But what if he cannot accept, The love that I have long kept?

So I remain in inner strife, A battle fought inside my soul, A love that cannot see the light, A longing that cannot be whole.

But even in the darkest night, I know that love will find a way, For in the end it matters most, That we are true to who we say.

I am Harry, but also not quite, For I am someone else inside, A moment by the lake last night, Has filled my heart with thoughts that hide.

Draco Malfoy, an unexpected sight, By the water's edge he stood, A moment that felt pure and right, A bond that we both understood.

Our conversation was heartfelt, A connection that I cannot deny, A moment that I won't forget, No matter how hard I try.

But the feelings that it stirred, Are a tangled mess inside my mind, A longing that I cannot word, A love that I cannot define.

I know that what we shared that night, Was special, intimate and true, But how can I make sense of it, Without betraying what we knew?

So I remain in inner strife, A battle fought inside my soul, A love that cannot see the light, A longing that cannot be whole.

But even in the darkest night, I know that love will find a way, For in the end it matters most, That we are true to who we say.

I am Harry, but also not quite, For I am someone else inside, A rush of feelings that take flight, When Draco brushes by my side.

His touch is electric, I can't deny, A jolt that I can't help but feel, A moment that makes my heart sigh, A love that I cannot reveal.

For how can I explain this surge, This longing that I cannot tame, A love that I cannot diverge, Without bringing us both to shame?

So I remain in inner strife, A battle fought inside my soul, A love that cannot see the light, A longing that cannot be whole.

But even in the darkest night, I know that love will find a way, For in the end it matters most, That we are true to who we say.

I am Harry, but also not quite, For I am someone else inside, A dress that I've kept out of sight, Is waiting to be revealed tonight.
