Godric-Forsaken Night
A HariPo freeverse piece
by mew-tsubaki
Note: The Harry Potter characters belong to J.K. Rowling, not to me. This idea struck me in my sleep, and I just had to write it. Read, review, and enjoy!

You'd heard the rumors
of the
stolen time
when you were gone
(why oh why had you been sent on such a horrible, seemingly
i-m-p-o-s-s-i-b-l-e
journey?!)
You can't read it on Ginny's
face
so no hope there
you'll just have to do the dreaded thing &
trust her
%%%%%%%%%%
Hmm, note this
If he comes up anymore,
it's not
"Malfoy"
(well, to you of the trio it still is)
but it's now
"D…R…A…C…O"
&& yeah, worse than that
illusion
Ron saw & defeated to destroy the Horcrux,
it feels like
needlesarebeingstuckinyour
h;E;a;R;t
%%%%%%%%%%
As a sign you have
moved on,
you accept a certain
invitation
(Hermione says it'll "better relations")
But trust good ol' Ron
to inform you of something he&'Mione use
"2 taps when we ought to…y'know, go 'cause we're…y'know"
& while you're elated for your best friends…
("Really, that's—that's great, guys")
But this dinner at Malfoy Manor was a mistake
When will you learn that a witch can't w a i t for a bloody knight?

Ginny looks…
B.E.A.U.T.I.F.U.L tonight
(ah, she's stolen your breath again)
& you&she 'n Ron&Hermione sup with all 3
(Narcissa'nLucius'nhim)
Some bit of conversation
d~i~s~t~r~a~c~t~s you
& you turn just in time to
see their eyes meet&see him tap his goblet twice&see him "excuse" himself from the table
Really—as she leaves to "use the loo"—you WISH you had just killed Draco when you'd had the chance
%%%%%%%%%%
:o Spiteful!Harry… I actually had two thoughts to end this—Ginny with Harry or with Draco. I decided on Draco; I blame it on the Lucius Effect. Y'know, love anything and everything Lucius-related…including his son and grandson ('cause Scorpius is such a cutie!).
Thanks for reading, and please review!

2016 note: *LOL* I agree with my A/N from 2010—it's the Lucius Effect. XD I'm not big into Ginny with other wizards outside Sirius, and I dislike Harry and most of the "big" Draco ships, but I kind of like Draco himself, so I'd choose Drinny over Hinny any day, tbh. ;P Ahhh, I still love this piece.
