A/N: Hello! This piece was written for Potterheadx10's Freeverse Competition over on HPFC. I chose the Trio Era and was given the character Ron Weasley and the title Silly Little Love Story. Of course, Hermione jumped to mind straight away. This is set on the Horcrux hunt, whilst Ron is wearing the locket and the first two sections are the Horcrux whispering to Ron.
I own nothing, it is all JKRs.
(Note: after a lot of feedback, this free-verse has now been edited – there is a lot less formatting than before, because looking back on it, it was a tad distracting. None of the words have been changed, however)

"Oh, Ron
Ickle Ronniekins
Ronald Bilius Weasley
Oh, are you in love?
Oh, is it that beautiful, clever, perfect Muggleborn?
Oh, is she Hermione Granger?
Is she your bookworm princess?
And are you the red-headed prince?
Well, I hate to -break- it to you,
Ron,
But, she's no princess
(dirty, dirty blood)
And you're certainly no prince
(are those second-hand robes, hm?)
So, you naïve boy, get over it
That silly little tale of prince meets princess is just a
Silly Little Love Story
That's never ever going to happen
(Who are you, Ronald Weasley?)"
(whisperwhisper)
…
(whisperwhisper)
"Oh, Ron
Didn't you know that they're fairy-tales?
And, it's going to take a lot more than
Wishing on shooting *stars*
Finding four leaf clovers
And counting magpies
To make her fall in love with you
Who are you Ronald Weasley?
Compared to the Chosen One?
He's the prince, really, not you.
He'll get the princess.
You are nobody, Ron.
Who would want you, really?
So, Ronald, wake up and start thinking straight.
("Ron, take it off.")
Because, you stupid boy, your
("Ron, look at me!")
Silly
("RON!")
Little
("TAKE-")
Love
("IT-")
Story
("OFF!")
Is never ever going to happen"
("Please, Ron?")
(whisperwhisper)

(downwiththewhispers, getitoffyourneck, backtoreality)
Yeah, fairy-tales don't exist, you know that.
Frogs don't turn into princes
(-but rats turn into men-)
There is no wicked witch
(-but there is a wicked wizard-)
You couldn't turn a pumpkin into a carriage
(-but you're sure that she could-)
(Maybe) you can live your
Silly Little Love Story
Don't listen to the voice
(whisperwhisper)
It's nothing, don't dwell on the locket
You can live your
Silly Little Love Story
Because, guess what, Ronald Weasley.
Your princess wants you.
…
]When the battle is done[
]When the hunt is finished[
Scoop her into your arms
Ride off into the sunset
And go and live your
Silly Little Love Story

Forever
