A close Seventh is
ROXANNE WEASLEY
(that's ROXY to you)
following her
/b\i/g\b/r\o/t\h/e\r/
(as usual)
p~r~a~n~c~e~s up
throwing a glance
at freddie behind her
p.e.r.c.h.e.s on the stool
with the
B*R*I*G*H*T*E*S*T

on her h?e?a?d
and she can
hear it
she's L!O!U!D and PROUD
(as if she didn't already know)
her father's daughter
(and late uncle's niece)
throughandthrough
her brother's twin
from

rarely t?h?i?n?k?s before

a!c!t!s
(good thing freddie has a good head on his shoulders)
and it's really only a
s.e.c.o.n.d
before the HAT calls out
"GRYFFINDOR"
