M&MWP. I'm a bright girl. I make the right decisions. All of the time. Most of the time... Some of the time... I wish.

I'm an intelligent girl

Why else would I be in Ravenclaw?

I don't break rules

I won't heed peer pressure

&& I won't let others walk o~v~e~r me

So eventually I had to

s–n–a–p

Which was probably because of Percy

I suppose it was the

TEMPTATION

evident to all Prefects and Heads

but—

being the naughty girl was

f*u*n

& even Percy fell

into that trap of skulking about like the underclassmen we were meant to discipline

But here's the ironic thing:

even I couldn't stand Percy

for that long

He wasn't a complete stickinthemud

but my life needed some

excitement, e~n~j~o~y~m~e~n~t

& only those coal eyes

made me feel that way

Think about it

Joyous eyes

Devilish good looks

(a lovely, sweet, & wide grin)

&…

Well…

I sensed a heart that

S***H***O***N***E

Really, I felt the darkness in the

h_o_l_l_o_w

of my chest

&& I wanted his light to shine on

me

But I made the wrong choice

& I couldn't stand to stay

with Percy

(lucky Audrey's so tolerant)

If I could have a do-over,

I know I would choose

more W.I.S.E.L.Y

Wow… This ended on a canon note! :O Rare for me—something you know if you've read my other stuff. XD Anywho, I'm intrigued by the possibilities for Peneloplee… Those lyrics are from the anime Martian Successor Nadesico, btw. :)

Thanks for reading, and please review!

2017 note: Hmm. Honestly, I enjoyed Penny with Percy in canon—v cute—but I feel for her, being swayed by someone as sweet as Lee. -w- Anywho, my 2010 A/N still rings true: I often avoid writing much about canon…unless I'm working on my overall headcanon, which incorporates some of the canon. XD Man, that's a lot of "canons." X_X
