M: Musing Over Downfalls
Author Note: Am I Joanne Kathleen Rowling? Nope. It's not mine, then. Wow, two poem ideas in one night, I'm on a hot streak! I just wondered about that classic love-connected theme of 'all or nothing, take a gamble', and felt that it would be perfect for a Hermione poem during the first task.
Of course Harry was her friend, and she cared for his performance in the task.
But in her heart of hearts, who did she wish to fare better, dare she ask?
She hadn't yet told Fleur how she felt, let alone the depth of her feelings.
What if the Veela didn't get through, how would Hermione stop reeling?
Should she keep it bottled, or take a gamble?
Oh goodness, now two things could be a shamble!
One, a chance of Fleur being prey to a dragon, and two, Hermione spilling her heart.
If Fleur accepted the bookworm's affection, at least it was start.
Musing quietly to herself to calm her nerves, Hermione exhaled.
Watching her crush's performance, things were looking up, the beauty hadn't bailed.
But this made Hermione's heart beat all faster.
'I wish I could be like her, and not avoid disaster'.
That was Hermione's silent wish for if she plucked up the balls.
But then again, it was useless, musing over downfalls.
'Am I a Gryffindor or not?' she asked herself.
But why would pretty Fleur take her - plain Hermione would just be left on the shelf.
