This World Burns

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). Check out and join the forum FUN! Read, review, and enjoy!

Look upon this horrific sight,

you

F_O_O_L_S

You two

with your tails between your legs

with your fear pressing you into the shadows

with your g_u_i_l_t constricting your lungs to the point where

it's

painful

to

BREATHE

Hmph

You l*u*c*k*e*d out

So you survived

What now?

You can't show your faces around here

(a badger-turned-snake & a snake-turned-CHICKEN)

Well, you're now stuck with each other

Don't bother finding such flimsy things as

happiness (pah!) &

l o v e (what an accursed thing)

Just work on this forced friendship

(because no one else will have either of you so might as well pool your findings for one flat)

& just ignore the T U G of trust (oh, is that what you're calling this feeling?)

you feel for him, your…ah, "roommate"

Ooh, implied slash. How nummy. ;3 Theorias may have potential…

Thanks for reading, and please review!

2017 note: Nothing much to say about this old piece, except that I like it and like the idea of Theo and Zach having friends in no one but each other, especially post-war. :O
