A heavy golden locket
With an ornate ‘S’:
How could one trinket
Cause such a huge mess?
The original owner
Was Salazar Slytherin
And he kept passing it on
To the next of kin
A thousand years later
The locket was with Merope
A defeated-looking girl,
She had lost all hope
But then Marvolo and Morfin
Were carted off to jail
Merope got pregnant, needed money,
So she put the locket up for sale
She proceeded to sell it
To Caractacus Burke
Who completely ripped her off
Because he was a jerk
Burke then sold it to a lady
Named Hepzibah Smith
But unfortunately for her
It’s Tom Riddle she was taken with
Tom Riddle proceeded to kill her
Without a second thought
Then, by him, the locket was stolen
Rather than honestly bought
Tom Marvolo Riddle
Became Lord Voldemort
An infamous Dark wizard
Of the very worst sort
Now, Slytherin’s locket
Took on a new role
Containing a piece
Of Voldemort’s twisted soul
Voldemort hid it in a cave
But there it did not stay
Because one Death Eater’s loyalty
Began to sway
It was stolen by a person
Known only as RAB
And with those initials
Began a new mystery
Apparently RAB
Was Regulus Black
Giving a message to Voldy,
“I’m not coming back.”
Reg’s house-elf Kreacher
By Voldemort was used
To test the locket’s protection
And Kreacher was left quite bruised
But Kreacher got away
He managed to survive
He told Regulus, who stole it
But did not come out alive
So now it was with Kreacher
Where it for a long time remained
Kreacher tried to destroy it
But could not, and by this was pained
At Grimmauld Place it was found
And thrown into the trash
Harry would come to regret
That Sirius had been so rash
But let’s not forget Kreacher
The locket had been saved
By this filthy house-elf
Who’s considered depraved
But later Mundungus, a dirty thief
Took what Grimmauld Place had to hold
And, as might be expected,
The locket was taken and was to be sold
But as Mundungus did business
Selling stuff on the road
Umbridge came and blackmailed him
And he gave the locket to that toad
But Harry and Hermione
The locket then did rob
They were destroying Horcruxes
It was part of their job
Some months later
Harry found the sword of Gryffindor
Ron stabbed it through the locket
And the Horcrux was no more
Into Hermione’s bag
The broken pieces went
And with that, the locket’s role
In history was finally spent
Who knows where it is now?
Apparently no one does.
To think, a golden locket
Has caused so much fuss
