~"friends with benefits"~
~romilda/seamus~
She knows that she is not a good person. She is not the heroine, she is not selfless, she is not noble. She is not the sort of girl you would find standing beside the Chosen One to fight the dark forces with him, and so, looking back, she cannot imagine why she ever thought that she might be the right girl for Harry Potter.
But she was young and stupid, oh so stupid, and she allowed herself to dream, and worse than that, she allowed the dream to take hold. It started as a celebrity crush, but it did not end as one, and a broken dream is a broken dream, whether you are a noble heroine or a foolish little girl (and really, where is the line between them?).
Romilda has no illusions left any more, and neither does he, which is why it works. He is a womaniser and she is a slut (oh yes, she knows what they say behind her back) so really, they are perfect for each other, aren't they? There are no stupid feelings to complicate things; it's sex, pure and simple, and it doesn't hurt that she finds his Irish accent whispering in her ear hot as hell.
One day, he will move on, she knows this and doesn't let it bother her. He will find a nice, sweet girl who can not only get him but keep him; everyone finds somebody in the end. Except her. Romilda Vane is not a keeper, but that's okay, because there will always be a different man prepared to spend the nights with her and keep the loneliness at bay.
