Another one in my big black arsenal of poems. Basically it's Hermione telling her grown-up kids how she and Ron got together. I believe that I wrote it in year 10 just after Deathly Hallows was published, and I love it because it completely discredits Harry (he gets far too much attention). What do you guys think?
DISCLAIMER: Harry Potter belongs to the lovely JK Rowling and Warner Bros. Thank you for giving me such juicy material to write for.

'Just because you've got the emotional range of a teaspoon doesn't mean we all have' (Hermione to Ron) – Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
'Running at Ron, she flung her arms around his neck and kissed him full in the mouth.' - Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows
When I first gazed down upon your father
Alongside a rather misfortunate bespectacled boy,
Within that claustrophobic compartment.
I saw nothing.
Ginger.
Fiery hair. Feisty lover.
Incapable of completing the smallest of tasks,
Always capable of fighting back.
Wonderfully hurtful.
A feline with his mouse.
Obnoxious from the very beginning,
The damn sexy, loving moron.
Constantly deceptive.
Got off with some other witch
When attempting to make this …lover… jealous.
So I did the same to him.
Why so secretive?
Not so much as a whisper or a word.
All my intellect and flirting – wasted.
Christ, your dad was a jerk! But
then again,
words weren't needed
In that inferno of a ruined castle.
Enveloped in an acrid smell of charred remains,
We kissed. And
(Although the other boy is due some credit,
I suppose)
All said and done,
Only I know what truly won the battle.
It was magic.
It was chemistry.
It was us.
