A HariPo freeverse piece

Note: The Harry Potter characters belong to J.K. Rowling, not to me. This pairing is a Mew and Mor's Weird Pairing, which you may find in the M&MWP forum (see my profile for details). Check out and join the forum FUN! Read, review, and enjoy! Originally written for Morghen.
oOoOoOoOoOo
He only ever humored her
It was the right, the
k~i~n~d
thing to do
Chitchat didn't seem so wasteful
with him
oOoOoOoOoOo
Forget things, just a little
here-and-there
Not in a "going-out-of-my-mind" way
Just…principles
1) She can only trust books, not people
2) After books, she will only care for herself
3) Those who don't follow the rules must be punished
4) Count on everyone to lie
5) The brain offers the best & surest magic possible
oOoOoOoOoOo
Oh, they'll come undone
They always do
It starts with no.1—why not trust him a little?
He's surely proven himself, docking points for damaged books
He's…not so bad, after all
No.2's quite a throw-away
She doesn't know how that happened, but it
D.I.D
She learns to care about his studies, his marks, whether he sleeps enough
As for no.3, she doesn't mind bending the rules a bit for him
He needs the extra, restful time
She'll…conjure a blanket & remove the nearby tomes so he
can refresh his flourishing mind
Yes, all for his
m…i…n…d
oOoOoOoOoOo
No.4 makes her waver
It's not as though she didn't know about the pretty Ravenclaw
It's not as though anything was defined either way
Either way…
It hurts
She'd finally trusted after all these years…
oOoOoOoOoOo
Books don't have all the
answers
She can't know everything
…he seems to, though
& he smiles sadly, knowing he's
h.u.m.o.r.e.d her
& the witch finds that her heart
knows magic her head does

oOoOoOoOoOo
Ooh, another fun one… Makes you reconsider Pince/Filch, huh? XDDD I have more ideas for them… But I feel as though I say that a lot, sadly… :[
Thanks for reading, and please review!

Thanks as always to Morghen for beta'ing! XD
2017 note: I still like Pernce, and bookish Percy fits in well here with Pince. :') I like Pince's wavering thoughts, tho…
