Roped In
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).

Also, this follows "Scattering Thoughts," so you might enjoy this more if you read that first.

I feel you
Your sun it shines
I feel you
Within my mind
You take me there
You take me where
The kingdom comes
You take me to
And lead me through Babylon

I always knew Lavender would be a bigger part of
my life
She was my aunts' and uncles' friend
She was my Divination teacher (occasionally)
& she was a fellow Quidditch goer
It was a premeditated, random
t~h-o~u-g~h-t
I wasn't too ashamed of my mind
(She's the best-preserved of her generation, you see)
& it's not as though this would be too horrible a
plan
(She's intelligent & has a backbone—very nice)
But I'd always wondered…
Do male Veelas have any power over women?
(To my delight, I found they do)
##########
I'd never use my blood
before
I doubted it'd really work
Sure
My mother & sisters can wave or something
& they'll get their w;a;y
But me?
Male Veelas occur once in a
blue moon
Everything pointed to me being a regular wizard
But I was clever, shrewd
(& then the idea happened)
Maybe it was because I saw her
at a Puddlemere United game
Maybe it was because my mates pointed her out to me
M…a…y…b…e I was doing a little foreseeing
of my own that day
##########
"Hullo"
"How are you?"
"Stunning as ever"
One of the three did it
It was enough
She started talking
Then she was laughing
& we were cheering the team on
But the game was long
F!O!R!G!O!T!T!E!N
She was very aware of me
(& I, of her)
The next thing I know, I've
talked her into a cuppa
&& her eyes are almost as mesmerizing as mine
##########
Strange
The more I'm with her,
the less effective my powers are
but she's
still
here
It's all right, though
I'm finding I'm glad I saw
h_e_r
&& no one else
##########
W_E_E_K_S…
##########
Months…
##########
Oh
I see
Apparently, male Veelas have one side-effect…
they end up on the short end of things
My powers no longer work on Lavender
But me…
I love her
It's both a light & heavy statement
But I know it, because my powers ordered it so
I'm a_w_a_r_e of her
I c a r e for her
much more than I thought I would (could)
##########
Mother told me today no Veela can work his magic on himself
So I guess this love is just right for us, Lav
##########
I feel you
Each move you make
I feel you
Each breath you take
Where angels sing
And spread their wings
My love's on high
You take me home
To glory's throne
By and by

XD I love the Louis I write in Lavlou… He's so devious, but he still carries that darned innocence about him… Sheesh. I do like Louis a little on the dark, manipulative side. Not the playful one we see with Scorpius, but actually rather dark. I feel it suits him better. Haha, a devil with the face of an angel…oh. I think I have another Lavlou in mind!
Thanks for reading, and please review!

2017 note: This 7yo FV is precious. The formatting rly works here, and I love Louis' voice in this. But it makes me think how I rarely touch upon the Veela in Vic, Dom, and Louis… I should work on some headcanons… ;3
