I was walking down the corridor

Potions class was over

I'd just been chewed out by Snape

I didn't mean to spill my cauldron

On that Gryffindork

I looked down at my sneakers

And adjusted my skirt

And my Slytherin tie

But I bumped into someone

A girl with curly black hair

And shabby robes

She apologized and I was quiet

She seemed nice

Like my friends at home

But she seemed like a mudblood

Or even, the lowest-

A muggle

But she seemed to be friendly

So I told her my name

And she told me hers

I took a  look at her robes

Then at her tie-

Gryffindor

My heart dropped

I couldn't be friends with a rival

She seemed to notice my tie too

And she ran

All the way down to the Gryffindor

Portrait hole

Because she thought I would beat her

Up

So I sat and realized

Why Gryffindors and Slytherins

Aren't friends....
