Disclaimer: I own nothing but I really should get on that. JKR can't have all the fun now, right?
So, I realize this isn't exactly a drabble or a oneshot, but it's Draco/Ginny so I hope you'll forgive me. :)
These poems were written for Aaliyanna's-SeventhHeaven's challenge on Harry Potter Fanfiction Challenges forum titled The Haiku Challenge.
The challenge was to write 6 haikus in chronological order.
My pairing was, obviously, Draco and Ginny. My theme was marriage. My prompts were: to have and to hold, wedding, blessed, silk, curse, and rejoice.
Let's just say… I'm not a poet. :) I'll stick to drabbles from now on.
Note: "blessed" (in third haiku) can be pronounced either {blest}- 1 syllable- or {bless-ed}- 2 syllables. Obviously, I'm using the former.
I've Got You Under My Skin
Married State of the Union
"One of the best things about marriage is that it gets young people to bed at a decent hour." – M. M. Musselman
'You are invited
To the joyous wedding of
Ferret and Weasel'.
...
Clammy, sticky hands
Wound fiercely in her tight grasp
Hidden by the dress
...
He breathed those blessed words
She was his forever now
To have and to hold
...
The party was long
And snaked into the dark night
His thoughts dwelled on her
...
A private instant
He wished to slip his fingers
Under silky folds
...
Finally alone
Blast this dress, stubborn buttons
A curse to all men!
...
As the last cloth fell
Draco soundlessly rejoiced
For this girl was his.
...
A/N: Yeah, please don't cry at my abysmal poetry skills.
