Growing Pains
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!

"Frustrations, sensations, and fascinations"
—La Roux, "Fascination"
##########
She never was "Auntie Luna" to you
She was always special in your mind,
in your h-e-a-r-t
Ickk, why'd she have those stupid twins?
Sander's not so bad…
Lorcan's a jerk to you
How could something like him ever come from someone like her?
Someone so
P U R E
##########
Ah, here we go again
You just can't seem to tear your eyes from her
She's here and though everyone's here
All you see is
Blonde hair &&
protuberant blue eyes
They look through you
And you find you hate that…
You're her favorite out of "the cousins"
#########
Being in a group sucks
It b_l_o_w_s
Hard
Because you'll only ever be one of "the cousins"
A "Weasley boy"
Though you're grown up now
& you've had to grow up admiring that
F*a*i*r*y
p~r~i~n~c~e~s~s
from afar
No, not "that" fairy princess…
"Your" fairy princess
##########
Kiss your cheek, kiss your other cheek
Watch her smile as though she knows your
s-e-c-r-e-t
But really she's hurting
Because her life is crashing down on her
Her daydreams aren't as fun anymore
She's hit
R.E.A.L.I.T.Y
& you hear the twins mumble
About her heartbreak
& you see them misty-eyed
Because their dad's gone
An accident
& you hurt
Hurt for them (a little)
Hurt for her (clearly)
Hurt for you
Wait—why?
Oh, because you wished it hadn't happened
A) you never wanted to see her so sad
B) you wish she'd never known him so she could be with
Y O U
##########
Hurt on, little Louis
The Veela blood's thinned
&& even if you could entrance her, you'd only
hurt m_o_r_e
Because she wouldn't truly be yours
So let this go for now
Come back later
Let your fairy princess, your cosmic star
hang in the sky,
to shine by herself
And when you return,
she'll be ready
You can catch her
T.h.e.n

W00t! My longest freeverse yet! :D And I'm ecstatic that it's for Louina, because I REALLY like this cross-gen pairing. 8D Hooray for weird pairings! But I reeeally like this. I really wanna do another for them with this storyline…or I could do a oneshot instead…or both… Hmmm… Btw, the title is also from a song by La Roux.
Thanks for reading, and please review!
-mew-tsubaki ;D
Thanks as always to Morghen for beta'ing! XD
2017 note: Oh, lordy… I wrote a bunch of cross-gen pairings back in 2010, and I remember my excitement over them—like Louina here—but I confess others ended up enthralling me more? Anywho, still a good little poem. :3
