Just Like That

by Unsuspected

It took nothing more than a simple wave of a wand. Only three syllables, and his parents were lost. Freeverse

Well, maybe he winced.

Only once or twice, though

When that spider squirmed.

And he knew

That his parents…

They had snapped-

Just. Like. That.

And everything had been lost.

With a careless

Wave of the wand.

And a mere three syllables.

(Cru-ci-o!)

Just like that,

And his parents were lost.

In pain.

In hope for death.

In foggy memories.

In Lovegood-like insanity.

And poof,

(That was that)

Frank and Alice Longbottom

Were worse than dead,

But they didn't even know it.

AN: Thank you for reading, and thanks to my wonderful beta-reader called wisegirlweasley. I hope you enjoyed this short little poem. Today I shall recommend the song 'Bookworm' by Roonil Wazlib. If you've already heard it, you are extremely awesome, and if you haven't, I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
