A/N: Okay this is for Mystii's Freeverse Competition on HPCF. It isn't terribly great (kind of sucks actually), but please read and review.

Your seventh year was supposed to be

P e r f e c t.

After all,

you had everything planned out

On graduation

Teddy would propose

&& then you would get married

&& have the perfect h a p p y – e v e r – a f t e r

you deserved.

It didn't work out that way

because Teddy broke up with you

a week before school started

&& it was all because of

Lily

it hurtshurtshurts seeing her

every single day

in the halls

so you take to hanging out

(hiding)

in the green house

because Professor Longbottom

always is kind enough

to let you in

and just listen

h e a l i n g

is Red Vines

(he always has a packet

tucked in his robe pocket)

dirt under your French manicure

p u r p l e flowers

green bushes

odd yellow vines

you think that

m a y b e

you're going to be

just fine

you realize that

while Professor Longbottom was

listening

being kind

healing your brokenness

he went and took your

H E A R T

for himself.
