Catch & Release
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! *Note: This follows/accompanies "Just One Mistake" and sort of "Seemingly Simple," so you might enjoy this more if you read those first.

Oh, Merlin
how it
ACHES
How could Zach have gone—
gone off with her?
& now he says he's
s u r e
that he & I are
meanttobe?
So I must make the next big
j_u_m_p?
Oh, Merlin…
I wish I hadn't been so
STUPID
in his absence
%%%%%%%%%%
My twin was going s-t-r-o-n-g
with Ernie
See?
She had her own Huff
But me…
I wasn't happy with my
not-as-loyal one
%%%%%%%%%%
Can't I just call it a…
moment of
weakness?
Please?
Because I don't think I would have ever
looked at Ernie in such a light if
I hadn't been so
confuseddistraughttireddepressed
(& if he and Padma hadn't argued about
moving in together)
But his touch was e_l_e_c_t_r_i_c
his kisses r_e_d_h_o_t
his words…
SO much more
t~r~u~s~t~w~o~r~t~h~y
than Zach's
%%%%%%%%%%
No, we'd never
work
& I don't want to bother
figuring out W.H.Y
I just want to return to my normal life & dry my tears
I…I'm going to proudly become Mrs. Zacharias Smith, you see
%%%%%%%%%%
Aw! Bittersweet. :( But I'm always happy to keep Zachvati together, no matter their ups and downs. …ZACHVATI FTW! X0
Thanks for reading, and please review!

2017 note: I think I wrote quite a few break-up and cheating fics back in 2010…but I tend towards the other end of the spectrum these days, mostly to keep me and my OTPs happy. -w-
