prompt: believe

pairing(sortof): padma patil/ginny weasley


she's everything you're not,
with her voice&smile&body.
you envy her, so strong and proud,
with no trouble speaking her mind.
and oh-so beautiful - she moves like a dancer,
that girl. the rhythm of her steps,
the sway of her hips,
you can't get it out of your head.

but you're so stupid, and you know it,
cause you have no chance
with someone like ginny weasley.

you've got the black hair and the dark eyes and the brown skin.
if you were only a boy,
maybe she'd fall for you, maybe you'd work out.
but she's not the kind of girl
who'd ever even think of dating
you. a female ravenclaw;
a coward who won't fight the war
because you're too afraid to die.

oh, padma patil,
you try to run away from it, and it's
killing you, isn't it?
you're trying so hard to change yourself,
to want anthony goldstein instead.

because if you just think it,
if you believe hard enough,
maybe it won't be true.

if you believe it,
if you really, truly believe it,
maybe you won't be in love.
