Disclaimer: J.K. Rowling owns all..

The third freeverse – this one is a bit shorter, and not so sweet. If you haven't gotten the hint yet, it's about Romilda Vane. I feel that the ending was kind of silly/funny/stupid, actually.

The prompt was masquerade.

Hope you like it, and remember to R&R. (:



you're just another awestruck girl to him

one of those many muchtoogiggly girls

(the kind that squeals whenever he comes near

and flirts at every opportunity)

.

he's not falling for it, honey.

.

he's the boy-who-lived

the dark-haired, green-eyed

(completely unattainable)

muchtooperfect

h / e / r / o

(and you can never resist a challenge, can you, darling?)

.

but, don't you see -

you can't have them all.

You can't break the hearts of

all those nameless boys

(at least, not Harry Potter)

.

he's not going to fall for your

(batted eyelashes, dusted with too much mascara)

or your

(black velvet curls)

because he's already in love, baby,

and it ain't with you.

.

he won't be your

shiny gold trophy

(alongside all the other silver ones)

because he's not into ebony-haired, hazel-eyed beauties

(he's more into scarlet and chocolate, if you get my hint)

.

so, sweetheart;

understand this -

he's not a glittery prize or a shiny gold trophy

he's not fooled by your pretty, sparkly masquerade

but he is one thing:

.

taken.
