This
poem is from Hermione's point of view. It's actually fanfiction for
"Luna's Year" by michelle31a (at the Schnoogle house at
fictionalley), a truly moving H/L fic (it's the "unofficial H/L
canon"). I can't hope to do the fic justice, but this is my best
shot. It takes place during chapter 22, while Harry and Luna are
talking on the roof. You can hit the back button, read my poem and
ignore references to things you don't understand, or (this is highly
recommended for Harry/Luna shippers) read the story. Then, if you
ever want to go back to reading amateur fanfiction, you can read my
poem.
Warning: Hermione/Luna gen and Harry/Luna het ahead -
don't read it if you don't like it.
Loony Lovegood:
Luna,
what colour's your sky?
How can you laugh, what makes you
cry?
While I run fast you saunter by
How do you pass me on the
fly?
You
laugh and trust like there's no hurt
Though you're often
attacked
Are you lonely, Loony Lovegood
Despite the way you
act?
You
seem so strong, taking abuse
So what will make you fall?
Sometimes
I wonder if you have
A breaking point at all
Are
you near that point right now?
What if you lost your dad?
Would
you still be carefree, childlike?
Or finally be sad?
You're
still close to your mother
There's a powerful bond
The tie is
stronger than mere death
And resides in your wand
Are
you okay about her?
How bad was it when she died?
Did you have
friends or just your dad?
Were you able to confide?
If
you lose him will you go down?
Could it tear you apart?
Would
it shatter your light-hearted soul
Or unbreakable heart?
I
try to understand you
But don't see how you believe
To trust
things first despite all proof
Is what I can't conceive
How
can untested faith
Be infinitely strong?
How can you ignore
evidence
That tells you that you're wrong?
Sometimes
your eyes get bigger
What are you thinking of?
You are a human,
just like me
Can loonies fall in love?
Luna,
he loves you, I see it
It's time to kiss the guy
I know there
are some things that
Even you cannot deny
Did
you really take him out
To show him moon fairies?
And tell him
about how
You can defy prophecies?
Perhaps
believing makes you strong
You really conquered fate
And though
you came near death you have
No scars of fear or hate
Luna,
you're the best thing
That has happened to him
Keep giving
him what I cannot
And brightening what was grim
Believe in him
and all his dreams
Help realize his crazy schemes
Prove things
aren't always as they seem
You two will make the perfect team.
