[[b l o n d e]]
[[n a i v e]]
Slytherin boy
(only in his second year)
named
L u c i u s M a l f o y
A certain g i r l
shines the most
He hears her name is
B e l l a t r i x B l a c k
hush.hush.whisper.whispered
throughout the halls
("She's c r a z y!")
But he doesn't

Because
s.h.e f l i e s
across the
oh-so-cold i c e
on the
oh-so-cold December day
She looks like a

E n c h a n t i n g

With her

hair whipping around
her b e a u t i f u l

A n d all he can do

second year
and she is a
t.a.l.l
g.o.r.g.e.o.u.s
m.y.s.t.e.r.i.o.u.s
fifth year
His friends
(more like .power. .hungry. followers)
tell him,
"Her? Seriously?
Crazy Bellatrix?
Insane Bellatrix?
Bitch Bellatrix?"
they say,
"She has a sister
just a year younger
looks the same just
p r e t t i e r
with long blonde hair
and she is oh-so-sweet"
But sweet and loyal
aren't what he wants

He can't date a Hufflepuff

But a couple years pass
Him and Narcissa

couple
Every boy wants to be
L u c i u s
Every girl wants to be
N a r c i s s a
But e v e r y w.i.n.t.e.r
he watches
B e l l a t rix
f l y across the frozen lake
She never notices
because she is off in
her .o.w.n. .l.i.t.t.l.e. .w.o.r.l.d
that no one can p e n e t r a t e
One day N a r c i s s a tells him,
"Let's go skate. We can skate with
my sister, Bellatrix.
She l o v e s the ice"
L u c i u s then skates with her
a little tiny teeny bit
closer to Bellatrix-
the

angel
than to N a r c i s s a
But N a r c i s s a doesn't notice
She keeps tripping on the ice
while B e l l a t r i x spins
with her long dark
hair whipping her face
iii.
Soon he and N a r c i s s a
marry
the
[[perfect]]
[[respectable]]
[[pure blood]]
marriage
Everybody predicted it
But B e l l a t r i x has
c h a n g e d
her eyes are
wearied
her hair
drier
her mouth
frowned
She seems unhappy
married to
R u d o l p h u s
(he seemed like a nice bloke to Lucius)
One day L u c i u s askes B e l l a t r i x,
(she's staying the night
won't say why but they don't question)
"Do you still
s k a t e?"
She shoots him a
what-the-bloody-hell-are-you-babbling-about-I'm-too-tired-for-this-crap look
he adds,
"Skate. Like you did
on the frozen lake back at Hogwarts."
She s i m p l y
shakes her head no.
Stiffly, she adds,
"That was a Hogwarts thing.
I think we have all grown
past the age of schoolchildren now"
before walking
away.
