The summer of 2015
We all went back
To the summer of 2010
(back when all I ever wanted was to be one of them)
And spent ages in the grass fields
We talked about hopes, dreams
The past
Present
Future
Teddy's hair was bubblegum pink that day
He made funny faces to make us laugh
It worked
Victoire made a crown of dry grass to place in her even blonder hair
She smiled the entire day
It was contagious
Molly's
bright
bright
bright
red hair splayed out across a rock
She brought a book to read as usual
I don't think she opened it
Lorcan was easy to spot with the sun gleaming off his pale hair
He danced with everyone
None of us refused
Lysander was just as easy to spot due to him having the same hair
He danced with a bundle of grass
They're going to prom
Fred shaved a WWW into his short red hair that day
He threw the hair on us
We screamed
James put little pink ribbons in his messy brown hair
He also set off fireworks in the night sky
He almost burned the Burrow down
Dominique brushed her blond hair
1000
strokes
She tripped the dancers a few times
All in good fun
Rose's bushy red hair hit my face a few times
She brought a book out to read too
She only accomplished whacking James in the head with it
I was watching this all from behind my usually manageable strawberry blond hair
James tried to put a ribbon in it
I let him for once
Albus lay with his black hair flopping around him
Observing quietly from behind his thick glasses
He saw us
Roxanne's mess of red curls bobbed through the field
She was winning at a muggle game called lag or tag?
She was definitely winning
Matt's black hair was failing at catching Roxy's red
He fumbled through the grass
He was definitely losing
Louis watched the sky through his blond curls
He always spotted the shooting star first
You know there were thousands of stars way back there by the Burrow
Hugo pushed back his red waves in concentration
He was dominating at chess
Can you say 'check mate'?
Lily's firey hair swirled around the clearing
She danced with the twins the most
Lysander's grass was not happy
Lucy let me braid her dirty blond hair
She giggled a lot at everything
I giggled too
We stayed in that field deep into the night
Laughing
Playing
Dancing
Just like we did those many years ago during the summer of 2010
No rules and regulations
No boring dinner parties
No biting are tongues
No holding back
No behaving like so
No he likes her but she likes him and he has two girlfriends
No holding are heads high to be the heroes we are named after
No acting like we're always in control because we never really are
No people telling us we should be thisaway because are parents were thataway
No pretending
Just friends
Family (I'm part of that family)
Just us. For once. In a very long time.
And when I looked out at all that dancing, chasing, laughing, smiling
And I realized I was dancing, chasing, laughing, smiling too
And I realized I had forgotten to count one of the Stars in the Sky.
Please review and tell me if you liked my take on the next generation and tell me how you portray them. I'd love to hear your headcanons. Alice and Matt are my OCs. They're Longbottoms.
