A/N: This is my story called The Love Behind the Veil. It is a story about Hermione and Harry and a blooming love between the two of them. The first chapter is preliminary to the story, setting the scene for more porse chapters ahead. I hope it is to your liking.
Chapter One: This Love
The first time that I saw you,
I paid no attention – yes, it's true.
Your shiny glasses, your unkempt hair,
I knew not that you were even there.
And yet now I have come so far,
'Twas a journey filled with bliss and spar.
Before, I was young and knew not the pain of love,
I thought I would forever remain the innocent dove.
Love had caused a Rise, with its festive entrance,
I thrived on this new sense of ignorance.
Love had sadly blinded me against all,
I lived for the day, didn't care for the Fall.
For your nearing presence rendered me breathless,
And like a sheep brought to slaughter, I too was helpless.
Hypnotised by your flattery and attention,
My heart longed for yours, needless to mention.
When I awoke from the lands of slumber,
Filled with dreams of you, too many to number.
I beamed, since I could once more see your face,
I never wanted to leave this passionate place.
Alas, as all good things tend to do,
My heart broke as you began to woo.
'Twas not I caught in your enticing traps this time,
What good was I to you now, being past my prime?
My heartbeat died slowly, consuming was my ire,
For I knew you thought that my heart was for hire.
Commitment, loyalty – these are the things for I yearn,
I was left out in the cold, but I soon began to burn.
What must I do now, to gain your affection?
Don't leave me to live a life of sadness and dejection.
For love could still bloom, it is certainly worth the wait,
If I tell you how I feel, I just hope it's not too late.
A/N: Review and please be kind and constructive, this is my first story!
