A Stowaway
A HariPo freeverse piece

Note: The Harry Potter characters belong to J.K. Rowling, not to me. A sad, post-war FV… ;w; Read, review, and enjoy!

It's…c-o-l-d in here
What's
wrong
with me?
Caring about…
-my studies
-my parents
-my l~i~f~e
There are those who don't

anymore
Never before have I thought of

But how can I not, now?
I wasn't there to see him
I wasn't there to s—e—e him…

I wasn't there to
!SAVE! him…
Three (3) things I feel now:
A throbbing in my e·a·r·s
A pricking behind my e·y·e·s
& a tug(h) along my s·p·i·n·e
I can't stop s/H/a/K/i/N/g,
(*knowing*) he's g…o…n…e…
Along my spine—it feels as though
someone's got a good |grip|
& is ready to

But I know I'll

Behind my eyes—it feels as though
someone's stabbing millions of
NeEdLeS
&& they want to watch the flow of my
~tears~&-blood-
at once
But I know I'll go
.::b-l-i-n-d::.
In my ears—it's most painful
Someone's…boxed my ears
&& all I can hear is the bell ringing
*rrring!*
*rrring!*
*rrring!*
*rrring!*
*Rrring!*
*RRRING!*
And I'm scared I'll go

In the noise…I'm able to pick up

Because I don't want to

If I c_o_l_l_a_p_s_e,
I'll worry everyone
which would let down Fred
If I can't see,
I won't move on,
which would let down Fred
If I.

h.e.a.r,
I won't hear his
twin's voice,
the one so like his…
a voice that could keep me going…
If I tuned it out,
I would
let down Fred
As badly t-r-e-m-b-l-i-n-g as I am,
I know some things…
I miss

Him
So I'll cherish my
moment·of·silence
but open my ears (not my heart)
to the sounds of
m~e~m~o~r~i~e~s
Open my eyes (not my heart)
to the photos in my mind's eye of

…because Fred loved me when I was proud…enough to face others, &
enough to face him
(with my feelings)
Maybe…I will open up my

someday again,
but my (silence &) love will always
be y-o-u-r-s,

;w; Sad! Dx I just can't stop writing sad things…and Fremione… She basically escaped to the common room to mourn him on her own, because no doubt it was hectic down in the Great Hall following the battle. Merlin… And, yes, there was slight Geormione if you looked hard enough.
Thanks for reading, and please review!

2017 note: This 2011 piece I think was me just riding some inspirational wave… But any and all Fremiones I've ever written, I happily blame my pal, xakemii, for. ;P
