Paradox
You're just a joke, silly boy
So unworthy, such a coward
Always shy and scared
What makes you a Gryffindor, again?
That's right; nothing
Absolutely n o t h i n g
.
She's a bigger joke- if you want to know
A silly girl who believes in the unbelievable
Magic is real, princess- not fairytales
What makes her a Ravenclaw?
She's lunatic- everyone says so
But you find her courageous, don't you?
.
Because she dares speak her mind
And fears nothing and no one
You admire how she's always so untouched by harsh words
And how she's so u n i q u e that it hurts
It's a paradox- it truly is-
But Luna Lovegood is the most down-to-earth person you know
.
Your family never expected much of you
And you don't know how to make them proud
Nor do you know what you did to disappoint them
You're Neville Longbottom and you just wish you were someone else
But you're glad she considers you a friend
Because like that you might steal some of her s h i n e
.
It's been years and you're not afraid anymore
You've now found your place in this world
Forced from a war that seems to have no end
But you now know you can fight
At least for her
My first freeverse: Luna/Neville- the only non-canon couple I absolutely adore!
