Disclaimer: I do not own the HarryPotter series, or plan to in the near future.

I hope this story isn't all that confusing...


All of the scars and wounds seem to hurt,

and perhaps the pain of the physical

beings and things seem to

be more important.

Perhaps

you would be

a man and suck it up for once,

and endure the pain attached to it.

But it would be crazy, right?

Seeing as though,

she somehow

acted as

i f

the pain

hadn't been there

at all, and for the first

time since you went to Hogwarts

she looked into your eyes,

and smiled

through

all

the pain

eating at her flesh,

and you think that perhaps

the battlefield had its upsides,

beside the glory that is to come

afterwards. You hold on to

the dream that perhaps

she could be

yours.

It

sounded

as though the

Gryffindor pride

has gotten the best of

you. And perhaps you were

just actually dreaming, off

to the land where you

can think before

s a y i n g

and

where

people can

actually accept

your apologies when

you mean it. You could

have her as your best mate again,

and it would stay that way.

It wouldn't be a

battlefield

where

she

always

wins and you

lose. Where you don't

go off chasing dragons in

Romania, and make

up fake girlfriends

to make

her

jealous.

But this is a

battlefield where

she wins and you lose.

Seeing the little band on her

finger, you momentarily freeze

and you realize you can't

have her back, and

it's a battlefield

where

she

has a

man to lean

on and to support

her, one that doesn't

go off chasing dragons and

leaves her broken-hearted.

You s n a p back to reality

and pull yourself up

off the

floor

and go

find somewhere

people need help rescuing

and saving, and knockout as

many death eaters you can

possibly can while cursing

at yourself for forgetting

that this is a battle-

field, not a

novel

for

broken

hearts. You

put up your walls

and remember her t i n k l i n g

laugh while she flew on

her broom, and challenges

you to a friendly race.

You almost smile,

but it's

a

battlefield

where people

can get h u r t, both

emotionally and physically.

Your heart breaks when

she fell to the floor

with a sickening

t h u d.

You

sob, and

set your mind to

fight which more brute

force, so you can

finally win

this war,

after

it

destroyed

your common

sense and your p r i d e.

This is a battlefield,

where she

can't win,

and

where

absolutely everyone

can't help to

possibly

l o s e.


Review, please?

Flame, if you rather.

Or some constructive critisism.

I feel as though I am absoulutely

desperate for reviews aren't I?
