The middle child
Overshadowed always
By your beautiful older sister
And your charming younger brother
Even by your parents
The beautiful witch and the wizard who's a hero

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

He's a twin

And his brilliant father

And everyone says you're perfect together

in a land far away,
a beautiful princess was born.
She had sky blue eyes

This isn't a fairytale!
this is life
And a girl was born
but she's not some fairytale princess
she's lilylunapotter

It's her 13th birthday
she shines like the sun
in pink chiffon & lace
and--
Wait...

life's not a fairytale!
not even close
It's her 13th birthday
but she glows like fire
in a t-shirt & jeans
and she couldn't be happier

The Not-So-Golden TrioSometimes, you'd forget what your name wasThe Not-So-Golden Trio9 months ago in Drama More Like This
Boy!
(that was all you were ever called)
Then when you went to Hogwarts, there were more names
Mister Potter
Arrogant Brat
Boy who Lived
The Chosen One
Don't call me that, you wanted to say
I'm not special
I'm not any different from you
You wanted to tell them your name
Shout it from the tallest tower
Whisper it in every crack and crevice
I'm Harry. Just Harry.
Red hair and a hand-me-down robe. You must be a Weasley.
That's all you ever are

another Weasley, another Gryffindor, another quidditch player

Because their story has one

She's curious, sweet, white- blond

He has a lot of friends
And even a few girlfriends
(she's not jealous! She's not!)
But he's only turquoise with her
Only her
And then on the last day of summer
They're sitting together under that big tree
Recalling happy times
And laughing
Together
In that way
That only old friends can do
He turns to look at her
And her breath catches in her throat
'cause through all the years she's known him,

You never get the girl, do you?
Surrounded by your dashing cousins
Loud, silly, attractive, likeable, funny

Certainly not her!

She's the bold one
The first Gryffindor in her family for centuries
Her hair is fire-red
And you think she's beautiful, don't you,

But she'll never go for you (right?)
But then the impossible happens
And she shows up at your door
Tears p o u r i n g down her face

and he pulls you close
so close
and he smells nice
like the quidditch pitch

and the pure insanity of what you're about to do
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

what's the worst that could happen?
You kiss him

But what else is there?
Ravenclaw
if you've a steady mind
where those of wit and learning
will always find their kind
Well, you're smart
but not like Molly (she takes after her father)
or Lysander (he takes after his mother)
no, you need something different
where you'll stand out
Hufflepuff
where they are just and loyal
those patient Hufflepuffs are true
and unafraid of toil
But you never were the hardworking sort
not like Louis, who works tirelessly on the sidelines
or Hugo, who is shy as can be, but would stand down Lord Voldemort for his family
you would never fit in there

Snow White was always your cousin
With her deep hazel eyes

You got to him first
You blazed your way to his heart
With stolen kisses,
Late-night rebellion

"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
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

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

AlwaysA long, long time agoAlways4 months ago in Drama More Like This
a little boy made a promise
"Always."
Promises were made to be broken
childhood innocence is overshadowed
by death and destruction and longing for power
But that little boy kept his promise
even when she wasn’t around anymore
to hold up her end of the bargain
She hated him, he knew
those carefree summer days were long gone
but he made a promise
"Always."
War casts its dark shadow
over all that is good and happy
and death wreaks its wretched toll
a burnt mansion, dead bodies and a lightning scar
are all that are left of a happy family
she’s gone forever, now
but he made a promise
"Always."

Purebloods were stronger
Voldemort was right
Slytherin was best
But at Hogwarts,
you learned that
only Gryffindors can be brave
only Ravenclaws can be smart

Slytherins are sneaky

Molly's StoryEver since you were little, it was the rule.Molly's Story9 months ago in Drama More Like This
Don't break the rules, Molly
Bad things happen to little girls who break the rules
It was your motto
your mantra
your life
Don't break the rules.
No one likes little girls who break the rules
They have no friends
and no love
and they die sad
Don't break the rules
So you're kept away from your cousins,
cause they're bad influences
and troublemakers
and not nice
Let's face it, the war didn't change your dad THAT much.
And your mom...
Well, she tries
but she's a quiet little thing
shyness and whispers and not daring to disagree
You do love her (she's your mom)
but she doesn't really love you

If you're reading this, I can only assume that you have won. If you had not, it would only make sense for you to be dead.
I can also assume that if this letter is in your possession, I was one of the casualties.
I know how you must be feeling, Harry. I need you to read this letter carefully. It's terribly important.
I want you first to know that no losses that occurred in this war were your fault. I know you feel the guilt, Harry. Understand that the people who fought in the battle did not fight it for you. They fought it for themselves, and more importantly, for the world. You were an extremely crucial part of the war, I do n
