I clear my head
Waiting to fight back
When it’s pried open
And its contents spill out

Snape is the one
It opens up for
The accomplished Legilimens
I am forced to work with

Dumbledore assigned us together
To practice Occlumency
He thought that it would
Keep Voldemort out of my head

My scar is bursting open
The pain is searing
Still Snape is pushing on
Prying deeper into my mind

My mind gives in
My mind gives up
I collapse on the floor
In a large heap

Snape sneers
The sneer he always wears
The I am better than you sneer
The bastard

My mind has been breached
Snape has seen what he needs
So he can go
And pass it on to Voldemort

I am dismissed from the lesson
To go back to my dorm
Where I am supposed to practice Occlumency
But don’t
