AN- first thing I've written in a while, so of course I wussed out and did a freeverse. this is for Jenny- xrawrDINOSAURx-, for her birthday, and also for being awesome. it's a day late, but go and say happy birthday to her anyways- she's too awesome not to!

mendacious maiden

how can she forget?

the way his eyes met hers…
…his hand grazed her cheek…
…his lips touched her mouth?

how can she remember?

every word they spoke…
…every movement he made…
…every lie she told?

but how can she ever let it go?

(she can't)

because she's guilty, guilty, guilty
and caught red-handed.

f a l l i n g, hook line and sinker,
for everything anyone told her.
hiding it from Scorpius,
just like the little liar she is.

Rose Weasley.
what a girl.
she hid what mattered most
(from the boy who mattered most),
and even that boy, that boy who wanted to be an auror,
trusted little Hufflepuff Rosie to tell the
truth.

he should have known better.
because Roses,
they have thorns.

(and thorns hurt)

neither of them will ever forget,
those days when they were two rebels,
fighting the stereotype,
feeling so young and free.

they could do anything, back then.

but then they grew up,
and holdinghands and simplekisses
just wasn't enough for Rosie any more.

it's such a harsh word,
CHEATING,
isn't it?

but it's the truth,
which is more than he ever knew.

they began as a fairytale and ended a disaster,
which is how all fairytales end up,
anyway.
