Repair What Is Surely Broken

M&MWP. "Two hotheads / means two very nasty tempers"—Millicent must figure out why they won't work and leave it at that. Kind of. *Set in the same universe as /Lavender Brown's Requiem/ but can be read on its own.

"Every time you raise your voice I see greener grass

Every time you run for cover I see this pasture

Every time we're in a funk I picture a different choice

Anytime we're in a rut, this distant grandeur"

What were you thinking, you

s-i-l-l-y g.i.r.l ?

Two hotheads

means two very nasty tempers

&& you were never able to rein in yours

(then again, neither could he)

%%%%%%%%%%

You

thought that he could match your

temperstrengthbeliefswits

(because, yeah, you d o have a brain to go with that muscle)

Well,

f—o–r-g–e—t it

This won't ever work out

He prefers seeing his Death Eater pals more

(& you're sick because Nott looks at you with something akin to

p…i…t…y)

%%%%%%%%%%

You tell yourself you're done

You won't let him go on

as you both remain

D_A-M_A-G_E-D

So…

Ah, good

Sock him in the gut

Oh, yes—

he will surely remember you, "Millie"

%%%%%%%%%%

Despite trying to separate yourself from the

p a s t

You can't help but take interest

in the new plan to take the Ministry

&& so you

commiserate &

mingle &

make new "friends"

&& when you sneak a look—

your heart twinges

There's some woman beside him & Nott &&

this hurts, so you've g_o_t to leave

But you hear a second set of footsteps behind your

O-W-N

Ah, he hasn't forgotten that punch

But he doesn't WANT to forget y o u

XD YES! I FINALLY WROTE THEM! This pairing has been rolling around in my noggin for almost a year! X3 If you have read Lavender Brown's Requiem, you actually know to what scene the last bit here was referring… :3 I really have to write more for Millie/Marc!

Thanks for reading, and please review!

2017 note: *lol* Ahhh, I like the idea of them quite a lot. As for Lavender Brown's Requiem, that's a chaptered story that needs some revising…as well as an ending…but I have plans to take care of that soon enough! :)
