it was against the rules.

(but when have you actually followed them?)

not concrete laws,

but rules, ones so strictly enforced

that they dictated who you loved

and who you couldn't.

cedrella knew them

{rebellion is a teenager thing, they say}

[just a stage you're going through, dear]

she knew her intended purpose in life.

what she was supposed to do

rebellion was fun

fun when you weren't caught

and could spend every single 'm'o'm'e'n't

living in thrill and fear

that what you were doing was

dangerous, wrong.

a metaphorical s-l-a-p in the face

to the rules.

until those secret midnight meetings

that wasn't just rebellionanymore

not just trying to prove a p . o . i . n . t.

because now she'd rather be

counting f;r;e;c;k;l;e;s

with ginger hair

and septimus

than the

black family

with their black hair

and black hearts.


Okay, so this is about Cedrella Weasley nee Black. For the Fanfiction Triwizard Tournament by Empress Empoleon, using other: counting freckles and phrase; slapped in the face.
