A/N: In this poem, Astoria is essentially a war hero when Draco was a Death Eater. She was a member of Dumbledore's Army while she was at Hogwarts, and spoke out against the Carrows when they took over. This free verse poem is from Draco's POV after the war. Enjoy!
Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter, or any of the characters in this poem.
They're almost like Romeo and Juliet
[[Except in this version they're a witch and a wizard]]
What separates them is their House rivalry
[[Gryffindor vs. Slytherin]]
They're both pure-blood yet still so different
[[She is a blood traitor and he is a blood purist]]
They fought on opposing sides: Dumbledore's Army vs. the Death Eaters
So why should he like her?
She was b/r/a/v/e when he was a coward
[[And she even has s_ c_ a_ r_ s to show for it too]]
She didn't just follow what her family believed in, unlike him
[[Even though her own family has all but disowned her because of it]]
They're opposites:
It doesn't make a lick of sense for him to fall for her.
But maybe he has.
Maybe it's because she's actually f o r g i v e n him for what he has done
[[And that surprises him almost as much as the idea of falling for her]]
The war is over, but for Draco Malfoy a constant battle is running through his head.
Because Somehow despite their scars
[[Mentally on both parts and physically on hers]]
Their House differences,
The sides they fought on in the war,
And their beliefs
Somehow he, Draco Malfoy, has fallen for
Astoria Greengrass.
And that's what scares him most of all:
Falling for someone who u-s-e-d to be the enemy.
[[Though she isn't anymore]]
But still, hadn't the war taught them that
Love is always right?
A/N: I just want to explain one part in the poem that might be confusing to some readers. The part where it mentions Astoria having physical scars is from her standing up to and rebelling against the Carrows at Hogwarts. Also, I may or may not write another fanfic about how all this came to be. By the way, for any readers who have read another fanfic of mine, The Escapades of Three Slytherin Girls , this does not connect to that. Although for all you Astoria fans out there, Astoria does appear in that fanfic and will continue to appear later on…
Anyway, please review! :)
