This one's about Rose. Obviously, nothing belongs to me.

The whispers for you are always glowing, of

awe, envy or lust.

You're lucky, they say.

The only Weasley-Potter girl with a lick of sense in her head.

The only one who isn't scared or a lost cause.

So smart, the professors praise

So sensible, the aunts and uncles beam

So kind, the parents say proudly

So beautiful, the boys whisper, starstruck

So perfect, the girls hiss in disgust.

But it wasn't always that way. Not one bit

It started when you were just an average, shy

little girl.

It was extra hard, back then too, because your cousins were still trying.

So you /thirsted/ for more

You fought so hard

to be something a little more

and it worked, inexplicably.

You are /rose/ and you have risen

You're practically the poster girl for victory, power and prestige

The world is now wrapped around your finger.

You weren't born Victoire,that poor, hapless beauty who's fallen for true love a few too many times, but impresses with a single swoosh of that legendary hair falling against her back.

You aren't Lily, who somehow got it into her head that being pretty is important, and that's what will grant you stardom.

But they all still flock to her because of Harry, don't they?

That's what makes almost all the cousins special.

Victoire and her Veela blood and Lily branded with her own lightning scar.

But you, you've never had that.

You're the daughter of the normal ones. They've always been the Chosen One's best friends, or that Mudblood, or brother of that poor heroic dead boy.

Ron and Hermione might be content to live under that, or simply stay out of the limelight, but not you.

You always were an overachiever, so you just shrug your shoulders, roll up your sleeves and get to work.

You find that once you peek out of your shell, you're pretty extraordinary.

People are charmed that kind smile

fiery curls and doe eyes.

So keep reaching. Rose, who knows what your fingertips will brush?

Turns out that those sidekicks were something special.

Was that ok? I was going to make it less happy, but it just turned out this way.

Leave a review to tell me how it was, and if you think that I should write more of these.

They'll get better! Thanks for reading:)
