"Just Me"
By: Yelhsa D
A/N: I randomly wrote this poem a couple weeks ago. It's written from Hermione's perspective, as she's getting ready for the Yule Ball in GoF. It's written in eleven quatrains and I don't think it has any particular meter. Read and review please! Please note that flames will be laughed at and constructive criticism will be appreciated. Enjoy!

"Just Me"
My hair is pinned
In an elegant bun
I'm getting dressed up
I'm almost done.
My date is Viktor
Plays Quidditch for Bulgaria
The other girls are jealous
They hope I catch Malaria.
Ron can't believe
That I have a date
He should've asked me first
But he's a little too late.
I'm not the kind of girl
That sits on the back burner
Ron is such a git
I hope he's wishing for a Time-Turner.
I'm not a Cho or Parvati
And I'm not a Lavender Brown
But when I get dressed up
I really go to town!
This me is quite different
From what they normally see
I wonder what Harry will think
When he catches a glimpse of me.
Will his jaw drop in shock?
Will he take a second look?
Will he finally see beyond,
The girl always reading a book?
The other girls are jealous
Because Viktor is so hot
But through all this I feel
That I'm being someone I'm not
I enjoy learning
I love reading books
I want a guy to like me
For more than just my looks
But I will enjoy tonight
I'll finally get to know
How it feels for guys to stop
And stare at me as I go
Though the ball will be fun
Afterwards, I'll feel so free
Because beneath this disguise
All I am, is me.
