a/n: this is a story for mew and mor's 2012 weird pairings competition, so the pairing is obviously an m&mwp. harry potter © jk rowling. hestia/hestia credit to mew and mor.
maybe you could be
pairing: hestia jones/hestia carrow
words: 277
once upon a time
there was a slytherin called hestia carrow
who was in awe
of hestia jones
she's achieved so much
[auror by twenty-five, thank you]
and you've achieved so little
(maybe you can make her p/r/o/u/d one day)
she says you're her little protégée
that makes you swell
(mainly because you get to spend more time with the great lady herself)
you could be the next big hestia
hestia carrow, not jones
{maybe you could share last names too}
you tell yourself
no, you're not in love
you just admire the woman
[she's an inspiration]
you're p/r/o/u/d to even know her
p/r/o/u/d to share such a great woman's name
she tells you one day
"i don't know if this is offputting,
but i like women
i just thought you should know"
and you realise you want hestia jones
you don't admire her
you're in love with her
it's a m-a-s-q-u-e-r-a-d-e ball
hestia asks you
"as friends, of course"
{your heart
s
i
n
k
s
at this point}
she looks great
you can tell it's her
because
true love always knows, honey-pie
"should we go?"
"all the way"
you reply, and you're not joking
of course
your fairytale doesn't have a happy ending
((yours never do, do they?))
you try to kiss her
she runsrunsruns
/fast
straight out the door
you can't be her princess charming
she doesn't leave any g/l/a/s/s slippers
or even a contact number
you should know how to get to her
[but not how to get through, and that's what matters]
goodbye, hestia jones
i guess you didn't need saving
