There was a girl

(there always is, isn't there)
you're pretty, and you know it
(and you're Lucy, so pretty's all you've got)
but for some reason
he chose you
&& you were w-o-n-d-e-r-f-u-l together
but perfect doesn't last long
(didn't you learn from RoseScorpius, darling?)
and, as it turns out
pretty was all you had
Not like her
she's pretty, too
but she's also funny charming smart
and just Lily
and darling, you just can't compete
So you're not really surprised when he tells you
"Luce, it's just not working out"
because he's right
and he never really loved you

But you?
You're just star girl
And no one will ever care

He's a twin

& he has to live up to expectations too…
Of his loony mother
And his brilliant father

And everyone says you're perfect together
And you are

Bu you don't really like them, do you?
Sure, they're pretty
But they're not beautiful
Everyone likes them
And they expect you to
But you don't
For example, there are roses
sososo cliché (just the sorta thing you hate)
that deep dark red, so pretty
those smooth, soft petals, so soft
but roses have thorns
(and who likes thorns?)
Then, there are lilies
They're pretty, too
That strawberry pink shade
And they don't have thorns
But flowers die so quickly
You've just started to enjoy them
when they fade
don't be so picky, boy
if you don't like roses or lilies
what do you like?

so close

like the quidditch pitch

Because with james potter
a kiss isn't just a kiss
it's an answer
a promise
a future
"Always and forever, Lily-flower"
but really,
you're ready to promise
because the answer is yes
(has always been yes)
and surprisingly enough (not)
a future with James
doesn't sound so bad anymore
and really,
what's the worst that could happen?
You kiss him
and you promise
it's a promise

And she's red to you pink

RoyaltyOnce upon a timeRoyalty1 year ago in Romance More Like This
there was a king

a princess
The queen
was wonderful
all icy white beauty
maturity

And then there was the princess
she was beautiful, too
(in her own way)
all warmth and sunshine and heart melting smiles
giggles and dizziness
And then there's the king

and something unexpected happened
because never before
has a king
fallen for a princess
But when asked to choose between
Victoire

the choice was simple
Because, really,
who wants a snowflake
when you can have a flower petal?

Leaves The back yard is littered with splashes of red and orange and gold, fallen from the ancient trees that line the back fence and that were missed when James did the raking earlier. Lily stomps through them on her way to the gate, delighting in the crisp crunching sound they make under her shoes. Autumn has come early this year, invading the last few days of August with its chill; in just two days, she'll be back at Hogwarts for her sixth year, with all the friends that she has missed over the summer.Leaves1 year ago in Humor More Like This

Both first years picked up their bags and rushed out of the classroom. “I can’t believe you actually did that, Hugo,” said Lily Potter as she laughed.
“I can’t believe you laughed,” retorted her cousin, Hugo Weasley.
The class had been asked to practice the Levitation Charm. Hugo had decided to levitate the professor’s seat as she was about to sit down. Lily had seen what had happened and laughed. The professor thought she was the mastermind and had sent them both on their way.

Animal: Chapter FiveThe following week progressed slowly for Albus, Lily and Scorpius because they were anticipating Saturday night's first transformation attempt. Rose's week was going slowly until Wednesday when Lorcan Scamander asked her out for a date on Saturday's Hogsmeade trip. Needless to say Rose was ecstatic to the point that she put less emphasis on her studies and more emphasis on having fun.Animal: Chapter Five1 year ago in Romance More Like This
Albus and Lily were happy for and surprised to see this more happy-go-lucky Rose and were supportive of her new relationship with Lorcan. Scorpius felt the same way too but he was more knowledgeable about the circumstances that led Lorcan to ask Rose out on a d
How to Get to Potions ClassLily stared down at the schedule in her hands, her books slung in her bag over her shoulder. She was looking for Potions class and the room seemed to be avoiding her. "Okay. I need to take this staircase..." She muttered quietly as she walked through the halls. She took a deep breath before stepping onto the stairs which promptly decided to move. She clenched her fists and let out a frustrated sound that was a mix between a groan and a scream and a sort of cawing noise that a crow might make. Lily held onto the railing for a moment before moving back down and looking around.How to Get to Potions Class1 year ago in Romance More Like This

Lily sifted through a trunk of musty objects she had found in her attic that rainy summer's day. Yes, it was highly unoriginal, but she had nothing better to do.
She stuck her hand back in the mess, rooting around for something interesting, when she pricked her pinkie. She held her finger up and observed the small drop of blood welling up and trickling down her finger. I'll get Mum to mend it later. She thought. She sucked on the gash absentmindedly and pulled out a mirror shard.
Indifferent, she stared at her sliver of her reflection, her icy-blue eyes.
Wait a moment. Her eyes are green.
Lily gasped and held the mirror cl
Dance With MeScorpius Malfoy sat in the corner of the Great Hall, listening to the Weird Sisters bellow music to the crowd of Yule Ball dancers without the aid of mics. The Hall sparkled with enchanted icicles and glittering ornaments, and fairy lights shimmered in the twelve Christmas trees. Leaning back in his chair with his feet crossed at the ankles, Scorpius watched as a cloud of magic silver bubbles floated overhead, wondering absently who had thought to create those.Dance With Me1 year ago in Romance More Like This

"What? No way!" Lily smirked at my twin brother, Lorcan. "I bet you my Cornelius Agrippa chocolate frog card that I'll get there before you…"
Lorcan's eyes bugged out. My brother is a bit of a freak when it comes to those trading cards. He's spent all of his money and my money, trying to obtain that one glorious card, ending up with a huge pile of throw-aways. "Deal!"
"IF!" Lily smiled a devilish smile. "If you lose, you'll have to buy me anything I want off of the candy cart for all my seven years at Hogwarts."
"Deal."
Lily turned to me, tying her long red hair up in a ponytail. "Lysander, ca

Just underneath it all,
Behind those eyes,
Behind that smile,
Behind those curves,
That seems to go for a mile,
Behind everything lies a woman,
A woman who has gone through many things,
That looks to be strong but sometimes weak,
That looks to be good but going through pain,
That looks to be anything but what she can be at times,
She was taught to hide it all,
All beneath the surface,
All beneath every fiber of her bones,
All beneath everything that is her,
But, she keeps going every day,
Because there is so much out there,
And she does have faith,
And she does believe she can have true strength,
And that she doesn&r

Not a bird,
But a name.
The name of a girl.
A girl whom
I have yet to meet.
Yet the name of a girl
Of whom
I've seen before.
I saw her,
One fateful day.
I fell in the kitchen;
There I lay.
My eyes closed tight,
For I'd hit my head.
And through the darkness
There she laid.
It was not that of
A top down or side view.
No, it was more
A view from her.
A look at the world
Through the eyes of another.
She lay there,
Exactly as I had.
Same spot,
Same position,
Same surroundings.
She had long,
Bleach blonde hair.
A white tee on
With denim shorts.
I knew there was
Black eyeliner
Surrounding baby blue,
Crystal clear eyes.

That I always loved you,
And probably always will,
Would've been an insult in our memory,
We have seen different places,
Thousands of different faces,
Different forgotten difficulties,
Different glories of all sorts.
And even though our lives have begun differently,
We might speak different tongues,
We come from different parts of the world.
Our hearts will always beat as one.
It was often, to me, told,
That I should keep my thoughts to myself,
That I should keep memories, memories,
And not bring them back.
But to think of all of that,
I came to the understanding,
That all those feelings,

It cracks,
As some one,
Slides on out.
They don't need me no more,
I've been replaced,
The hole they left in my heart,
Is filled with lies and hidden promises.
My tears cascade,
Down my pure white cheeks,
As I feel the pain of your absence,
The destruction it's caused.
Why...
Why could you just not tell me?
I would have been angry of course,
But not at you...
Never at you...
You hid those things,
You lied to me.
I thought you were acting weird that day...
Guess it was the lies eating you away.
You do not understand...
How much I hate lies,
How much I hate myself,
For making you feel like you couldn't tell me
