Title: Nighttime
Author Name: Joyce Cohen
Category: H/Hr
Point of view: Harry's

Nighttime – the perfect time
For contemplation, reflection, introspection
Sitting by the fireplace
With a mug of hot chocolate
Rich, dark chocolate
Just like your eyes
Eyes that I could drown in
Lose myself in, find my soul in
For you are my soul
You support me, console me, complete me
If only I could tell you that
But no, you won't respond in kind
I don't deserve you, won't deter you
From your heart’s true course
But wait, I've seen you gaze at me
The way I gaze at you
You're smart; you'll realize it, too
One day, you'll find me sitting here
In the lonesome nighttime
And no longer be alone
One day, someday, soon

Titel: Without you
Author name:PhoenixWriter
Category: H/HR
Point of view: Hermione


I won’t despair

nor be hopefully

I won’t cry

nor laugh, if I have to be without you

To live my life without you is like

The day without the sun

And the night without the moon

The sea without the water

Which brings the breath

Which I don’t want to let into my lungs,

If you’re not by my side

Title: Twilight
Author Name: DemonOfTheFall
Category: H/Hr
Point of view: Harry's

Twilight

The summer’s sun rises for you
A dawning upon a new morning
The dead of winter left behind
And new life is born wanting

Still day beneath the sun high
Golden rays present in your eyes
Auburn hair blows in the wind
Eternity of bliss as the world sighs

You and I neath the summer moon
Wrapped in a blanket of twilight
Unrivaled by even the stars above
You are perfect on this perfect night

We will meet again in dreams
A parting kiss before we leave
And as the moon rises above
I bid farewell to you my love

Title: His last breath

Point of View: Hermione



His Last Breath



He lies with me
Our last goodbye
He strength is fading
And So is mine

Our time is up
He turns to me
And Utters the words
I long to receive

I love you Forever and Always

He gasps
His eyes turn dull and faded
Too young
We are too young

I love you forever and always

His breath so shallow
His mind so weak
He is sinking away
from me

I love you forever and always

Silence
Nothing

He left me on my own again
To face this world alone again
Tears pour down my face
As I see his resting place

I love you forever and always

His final breath
with me still
with me forever
Eternity

I'll Love you my dearest Harry Forever and always

Title: Legacy
Author Name: Quis of Camelot
Category: Harry/Hermione
Point of view: Hermione

Things I'll never say to you
Things you'll never hear
Only implied whisperings
The hatred of another year

Things I've wanted to tell you
Things I never will
Every single time I've tried
Tears have threatened to spill

Return to me
I'll never leave you
Although we'll let what'll be come
Through the joys and tears of sorrow
We'll perservere
And we'll win

Times are now changing
Things have all been lost
Except for the one you thought you knew
The one who you never lost

There's no words to tell you
No words to let you know
I see now that you're lying there
Your blood on crimson snow

I love you so much
I never once told you
That inside me
I carry your legacy
The boy who lived

I stand here now
Looking at the grave
My son stands beside me
Proud, bowed with sadness
He steps forward
Placing his hands on the cold granite
And cries

Title: You Saved Me
Author Name: Sarcastic Dragonette
Category: Harry/Hermione
Point of view: Harry's


As I walk along the edge

of the abyss

that’s calling my name

something makes me stop

and think and wonder

as I stand along the edge

the brink of the abyss

which goes down into nowhere

it just keeps on going on forever,

never ending.



What had brought me here?

What had made me come this far?

What had I done to deserve this?

but most importantly of all

how could I have allowed myself to never face it?

how could I have allowed myself to just stand there and do nothing?

just watch in horror?

My mind gone permanently numb



I peer down into the black nothingness

where it goes on forever

and can only see my past, not my future, there

Would it be suicide?

Nothing but deep silence greets me.

Would it be worth it, just a jump downward

so I wouldn’t bear the guilt and the burden of

being a hero

any longer?



Yet I’m hesitant.

My heart’s pounding in my throat

and my ears

never had I found it so hard to swallow

Only a jump down

then I’ll be gone in a blink of an eye

just like that.



My legs are shaking tremulously

I’m finding it hard to keep my balance

NO! NO!

I cry out.

I don’t want to! I can’t!

It’s then at that moment that I realize

I shouldn’t have let myself

get

pulled down under.

since that’s exactly what he had wanted

That was his game.

And did I fall for it again, like I had for his trap?

The undeniable answer was yes.



Then –

as if beckoned by a desperate cry, a silent call in my mind

a hand reaches out from the darkness that’s

enveloped me

that I’ve let myself get enshrouded in

I look up and take it

a move I’ll never regret

grateful that

You saved me.

Green as glass

Eyes wide as a perfect pearl

Reflecting back dreams, fantasies

Title: Fire meets Ice
Author Name: Sakura1287
Category: Draco/Ginny
Point of view: N/A

when Fire meets Ice
all barriers drift away
hate confronts its demise
and nothing stands in the way

because when Fire meets Ice
masks are thrown to the side
no need to think twice
when by love you abide

so that Fire meets Ice
passion melting friend from foe
a simple roll of fateful dice
sends love where it's meant to go

Title: Blue
Author Name: Sarcastic Dragonette
Category: Ron/Luna
Point of view: Luna's


At first it was just a quick glance

on the first day back

in the train compartment

It was when I first looked into your eyes

Blue they were

such a tantalizing blue

a beautiful shade to look at

and to look into

Swirling orbs of blue

that anyone was bound to get lost in

Really, though, who could blame them?

You have beautiful eyes; that’s a given

When you’re upset or excited about something

they’re a dark hue, dancing and afire and wild and jumping with excitement

When you’re sad

they’re a light hue, yet hold stormy fire within the depths

When you’re mischievous, the blue dazzles and sparkles

with a unknown fervor

The same fervor, when you’re out on the Quidditch field

When you’re nervous, like now

The blue holds an unsteady, quavering, wavering light

yet it wavers strong

As I look at you now

standing there, looking up at the sky

I look up at the sky too, somewhat unconsciously –

The blue of the sky matches your eyes right then.

It was on the first day back

when I lost myself in the blueness of your eyes

Title:Could I Die For You?
Author:Professor Ember Kinsar
Category: H/Hr
Point of View: Both



Hermione

Could I die for you?
You asked me that last night.
I lay beside you, listening to you breathe,
Watching moon and shadows on your skin,
Pitch black and silver white.

A moment passed
You waited patiently.
Silence crept on
Until the answer came to me.

I looked up
And glimpsed your emerald eyes
I gathered up my wits
And this was my reply:

Could I die for you?
Would I, should I,
Haven't I a thousand times?
Each time you're injured, when you're lost
And when I know you need to cry.

Every time I look at you
And see the pain of life's trials
See the weight of the world
Resting on your shoulders
Even as "They" call you a liar.

Every time I think
You're gone forever
That I've lost it all
That I can't return
To those harsh things remembered.

You keep me sane.
You make me strong.
You make me bold.
You let me know
It's here with you that I belong.

I'm yours forever
I'll answer true,
Yes my Harry,
I could die for you.

After my reply
I turned back to your gaze
And whispered quietly
"Could you Harry,
could you die for me?"

Harry

Could I die for you?
You asked in quiet tones.
I breathed you in
As I thought about
An answer of my own.

As I looked down
On brown and bushy hair
I felt your breath upon my skin
And suddenly
The answer was there:

Without question
Without reason, without thought.
My grasp on sanity
A ribbon
Your life, your love the knot.

You've bound me to you
Body, heart and soul
There's no escaping
But if there were
I'd never want to go.

You keep me balanced
My life in check.
You love me completely
And always
Always treat me with respect.

I love you beyond time
Beyond matter, beyond space.
The way you look
The way you smile
The way you part life's purple haze.

You say I'm gifted
That my heart is true
Then know without hesitation
I could, I would die for you.

But in this moment
Where it's just us two
I'll give you an even bigger promise,
Hermione, my love
I will live for you.

Title: Sorrows
Author Name: TeaWithVoldy
Category: H/Hr
Point of view: Harry
This is pre OOTP

A watered drop glides silently down the glass case
which separates my soul from the world I am thrusted.

Trapped with a heavied heart,
I watch the tiny tears fall from the silvered sky,
like it somehow knows the sorrows I keep hidden.

Crying for me.

Bearing my burdens.

As I have not the strength to shoulder them myself.

I haven't the courage to weep alone.
To let my nightmares mix with my tears.

Because without her, I am like a soulless sheath forever lost.

For the sorrows I keep are shallowly buried,
beneath the mark etched into my skin.
From a past I am eagerly dreading to know...

The past I fleetingly recall;
and all I know is that a maternal protection
saved me from the hungry hand of Death's desire.
Only to have me wanting its dreaded sleep,
to escape the miserable trap in which I am now caged.

My universe is bursting with these terrible thoughts.

And a night, a night of infinite blackness surrounds my depths...
edging ever slowly forward to my madness.

Yes, I can see the night pressing upon me ... it's weight crushing ... it is waiting;
hungry to engulf me into its belly.

I turn my eyes away from the horror the silent tears reflect my way.
Even if I cannot escape my own mind.

And all I want to do now is to scream...

To scream a shattering breath that will break the glass that bounders me.

For I want to tell this magical earth on which my tragic feet tread on,
to bury within it the pain I feel.

To vanquish the sorrows I keep...

To let them disappear like a simple spell I have conquered.

But it will never be.

It will never be so...

I am a tragic hero,
destined for a haunted heart.

And perhaps it is for the greater good...

But I do not yet know.

As those I dearly trust guard me fiercely with their eyes.
Protect me from the answers I yearn for -

The truth are in the hearts of a chosen few,
like my sorrows remain in my heart.

I feel as though all the struggles in my past and of my present
is of my own doing.

The torture is unbearable, brought on by dark memories.

I am trapped in a cycle of nightmares that never cease ...

And the tide of fear is rising, in me and in many.

And soon death will once again be victorious.

Already, few have been taken...
like the blood of my rival,
innocently stained on my hands.

For it should have been me alone to face my demons...

But who was I to know the future.

It still haunts me,
in consciousness and in dreamy boundaries.

I am only a child so deprived,
wondering when his next step will be his last.

When will it ever end?

When will it?

Until that needed light warms me...
The darkness creeps forward.

As my eyes wonder maddeningly over every inch of the silvered sky.

I need a person.
A soul to tell me all will be right.

For a girl with ferrelled hair,
to rest her head against mine
and whisper three tiny words.

I...
love...
you!

And only then...

will one little sorrow,
deep in my heart disappear into the troubled air around me...
Like sorcery!

Author Name: Rainbow Dreamer
Category: Shippy, Draco/Ginny
Point of View: D/G reader


My friends say I’m mad for reading D/G
But there’s something about it that appeals to me
I think it’s the concept that somewhere inside
There’s a part to each of us that’s true and just cannot hide
Draco might seem prejudiced and mean
Ginny might come across as minor and unseen
But put the two together and surprisingly you find
That their souls call to each other and they’re two of a kind
Each fic I read is different and new
Of clichéd ones there’s actually very few
So what I say is, get reading, and enjoy
Cos really it’s just about love between a girl and a boy.

Title: No Life

Point of view: Hermione

No Life
No life if you don't fight
No life if you don't complain

But you
You can imagine
Imagine me to be beautiful

You are going to work hard
So there is some life
Is there just no life?

To crawl up the dragon't neck
To swim with the fish in the sea
To get to look at the bad ones

There is some life in that!

No life if you don't adventure
No life if you can't explore.
No life if you can't run away

So just do it tonight!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you are not allowed to
Break the rules my baby
Go and start a fire if you need

There is no way
To do it then this way
Oh, you can't get caught, you're good

No life if you don't keep the pressure on yourself
No life if you don't know how to control

Now, you've got to stop forever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

To my dearest Herm-o-ninny,
Your are almost as beautiful as Ginny.
If only I had a dime,
for every time,
you slapped me in the face!

I know you didn’t mean it,
for I am Victor Krum!
You may think I am just a slimy git,
but I am no Bum!

You know that you really love me,
not that stupid git Potter!
He may fill your heart with glee,
but I am just plain hotter!

But once you read this poem,
I know you will surely see.
That I am better then Potter,
And that you are truly in love with ME!

Gryffindor is red,
Ravenclaw is blue!
I think that I am sexy,
You should think so too!

Point of view: James


I've always loved the way your smile brightens my day,
The way your laugh makes it all worthwhile.
The way my feelings go berserk as soon as you enter the room.
You’re my soul mate,
My better half,
The shoulder that I lean on.
A day doesn't exist that I don’t think about you.
About that swing in your step,
That flick of your hair,
That twinkle in your eye.
I could get lost in you,
In your touch,
In your words,
In every breath you take.
You’re the rock on which I stand,
The hand that’s always there.
The soothing voice that melts away all my cares and fears.
And though tomorrow remains a mystery,
That no one can even guess,
I know one things for certain.
You and I will be there,
Hand in hand,
In this perfect kind of bliss.

Title: And All You Seek
Author Name: Sarcastic Dragonette
Category: General HP
Point of view: Harry's


The sky’s charged

filled with energy

and magic

The closest realistic word that I can think of

is that it’s alive

crackling and bursting

and jumping and dancing

with something that’s utterly indescribable

Somewhere in the charged atmosphere

there’s a tiny glimmer

a slight shimmer

a little glint –

that’s just begging to be caught

to be seized

to be sought

to be captured

to be in a binding hand

Although the field is crowded

I somehow weave through

easily

the group that’s too busy flying around

trying to dodge the obstacles –

the balls that are determined to get them out of the game

then the little glint, the slight shimmer

is calling

beckoning

me to come and get it.

So I dive

soar a little –

pull a sharp turn –

adrenaline and the sheer joy of it all –

the game, the flying –

pumping through my veins –

urging, pushing, motivating me –

the screaming the yelling the shouting the cheering –

blood pounding in my ears –

heart beating fast –

steadily getting louder –

My pulse quickens –

all I know is existence and existing –

the simple, high feeling

the unnamed sensation of being free

that flying gives me –

no thought, no feeling –

at all

Glint’s getting closer, slowly tempting me still –

to catch it, to seize it –

One sharp dive –

my fingers close over its struggling form

just as the wind whistles

and everything completely stops for a moment –

and I have it.

Point of view: Ginny

The late night kisses,
The “Honey I’m off to Work” Bit.
The day by day, play by play.
Way the world exists.
For us this never happens,
It’s just a once in a blue moon event.
For everything’s a secret,
Everything’s a lie,
To those who would threaten our existence.
It saddens my heart for me to see,
That between us this will never be.
Our families destined to hate,
Would never allow this happy fate
Your father, my brother, would slit each other’s throats to bits,
If they ever found out all the secrets.
Why can’t they see the love that we share?
The desire that burns,
In each simple stare.
You’re my beacon, my light in the dark.
You’re my Romeo, and I your Juliet.
Let’s just hope our fate, is but a little different.

You get sick!

Hell yea!

Title: Why Me?
Author Name: Endlessdesk
Category: General HP
Point of view: Harry's POV

Walking through hallways I've walked through since my boyhood,
The candles glow,
Illuminating the place.
A useless façade to disguise
The war going on outside.
Why are most people blind?
To everything around.
Can't they see the futility of it all?
Or are they blinded by their own lives.
Everyone thinks it's going to be okay.
That I'll solve everything
Can't they see I'm only one person?
Desperation cuts through my mind.
Bleeding furiously no help in sight.
What do they think I am?
A man,
Or a god.
If everything is all said and done.
Where would I be?
WHO would I be?
A hero? Or a murderer.
A sinner? Or a saint.
Would killing him make me like him?
People look at me with different eyes.
Some say I'm good,
Some say I'm mad.
Others think of me as an object,
Others as a friend.
But in the end,
Who decides what's good or bad.
In this world full of sin.
Certainly not me,
Not you as well.
Is there a God?
Is there a devil.
If there is, why me?
Why not him?
I've done my share of good.
I can't take this anymore.
After I defeat him,
Would I be the boy-who-lived.
Or the man-who-died.
Maybe I'd be feared.
Ostracized.
Would I be,
Just like him?

Point of View: Draco Malfoy

Unexpectedly you waltzed into my life,
Like a welcome summer’s breeze,
I taunted and teased you,
But you never said a thing.
You’ve suffered much in your life,
Much caused by me.
I feel it now,
And I am paying the fee,
Of my father’s transgressions
Against your family.
You were unlike the rest of them,
Boisterous and loud.
You were the silent one,
Amongst the crowd.
Always the voice of reason,
Against the stupidity.
Your passion surrounds me,
Engulfing me in warmth,
Buffering my frostiness
And warming my cold heart.
I never meant to let you in.
One such as you.
We were never meant to be like this,
We were meant to be apart.
Forbidden lovers that we are,
A bad boy and a good girl.
A Slytherin and A Gryffindor,
We are worlds apart.
But somehow, you’ve entered my heart.
Melted the cold exterior
And wormed your way inside.
I love you Ginny Weasely,
And nothing can keep us apart.

I remember the day you laughed at me and made fun of my name.
I remember the day you tripped me down the stairs.
I remember the day you talked about me behind my back, thinking I couldn’t hear.
I remember the day you stared at me from across the dance floor, then walking by, stepped on my feet.
I remember the day you gawked at me, when I wore make-up, and had my hair styled.
I remember the day you asked me to Hogesmade, looking like you were about to die.
I remember the day you realized that I was a human, not a freak.
I remember the day you first kissed me, walking me to my common room, and then ran away.
I remember the day you started holding my hand on the way to classes, not caring if anyone saw.
I remember the day you stood up for me, when a Slytherin tried to do me in.
I remember the five weeks you spent in detention, for giving the Slytherin a broken shin.
I remember the nights walking around the grounds, talking as much as we pleased, not caring if anyone heard.
I remember the day you looked me in the eye, sweating profusely and said, “I love you.”
I remember the day we graduated, when you held me tight, and told me you would never let me go.
I remember the day we were celebrating your new job, when you suddenly got down on one knee, and asked me to marry you.
I remember the day we stood at the alter, and both said, “I do.”

This is my song
For you and you alone
I remember the days
When we were so young
Each morning was a new adventure

Now it is nothing
The world is dark
Unwelcome, uninviting
Until you came back
Into my life

Red roses, strew'd
On the table
White roses, strew'd
On the floor
Yellow roses, strew'd
On the bed

Time has changed all of us
You never had the lines of worry
Before.

A pucker of your mouth
Suggests annoyance
A smile from your lips
Is rare
A hug from your arms
Is non-existant

I miss your smiles
I miss your voice
I miss your singing

Today I stand before your grave
With a bouquet of your flowers
Thinking of what could've been
And with our children

I miss you
I love you
I wait for you
My angel.

All of them, expecting me
To save them

But what if I can't?

I don't know how.
I never learned, I never loved, I never knew

How can I do it?

Why me?
Why not him, or her?

He's the one who belongs in Gryffindor.
Ready to do anything to protect something he loves.

I don't.

She's the one who knows what to do.
Immediately, she has no doubt.

I do.

They can do it, no one needs me.
They can live it, it's not that hard.

The truth is, I don't want it.

Thrust upon me at birth, but it wasn't me
I wasn't the one who saved the world

So leave me out of it.

Title: These Precious Memories of Hope

Point of view: Harry’s

As I walk down the halls, so empty and bare,
Memories flood past me,
Ones that have been forgotten through the years.
The troll in the bathroom,
That made Hermione and I friends.
The Quidditch pitch Ron and I loved to no end.
The hallways always full of laughter and friends.
The dances that made all the guys want to dig a hole and die.
The feasts that made our stomachs toss and turn all night.
The endless homework, followed by the endless nights, of never getting it all done.
The way the days could seem like an eternity, or go by in the blink of an eye.
The way the school could almost glow in the morning, making everything feel perfect.
The way every day was a new adventure, whether it was battling an unknown monster, or just trying to pass a test.
These precious moments, the one easily forgotten to be filled by ones of horror, and heartache, are the most special of all.
For as I leave the Great Hall for the very last time, I realize these are the memories that will get me through the bleakest of nights to come.
The war may take away my strength, and maybe even my life, but it can never take away, these precious memories of hope.

To be framed

The crime.

The greatest love

The soft breeze of Summer blows,
as your sweet serenity grows.
Bitter regret persists of deciding not to admit,
the love and cherish I yearn to commit.
You've always lifted my head up high,
though you may never notice how or why.
My heart in all,
its sweet essence in awe,
has succumbed to you,
Because your power to enlighten has pulled me through.
Time has made me wonder if you could ever be mine,
I could never resist your grace divine.
Mystery should revolve around you,
of whose soul still dares to follow you…

Author Name: Darkstar
Category: H/Hr
Point of View: Harry

A/N: Probably not my best work, but oh well... Joyce would have beaten on me until I entered anyways, so best to get it out of the way.



Here we stand, together at the end,
Ready to finish it all, as one
Looking back through time,
I see now that it truly was you,
Always you that was there for me

You walked me through the fire,
You gave me strength to go on.
I knew that I had only to ask,
And you would stood beside me,
But that, I could not ask, not there, not then.

Hope turned to ash, as flesh turned to stone,
Mysteries swirled around us, me most of all,
But I did not have to face them alone.
Not with you beside me all the while,
You never wavered, you were my pillar.

Imagine how I was terrified to learn you,
You my rock, were Petrified.
But still, you were there, pushing me along,
The thought of your face
Giving me will to carry on.

I know we didn’t always agree,
But that never stopped you from watching,
Always watching over me.
You kept me safe when I didn’t think,
You were cautious when I threw it away.

It started to come together then.
I’d walk across time and space for you.
This love they called impossible, I say,
We rode it to the stars and back,
You, as always, at my side.

And I needed you there, now more than ever,
As the ranks spread from me,
Burdened by falsity, rife with suspicion.
But not you. You alone believed,
You alone accepted.

Through all the struggles, all the trials and tasks,
You never faltered, never flagged,
It was you who saved me from hell,
Summoning me home, and seeing me safely off,
With a feeling anew.

I was awful to you the next time we stood together,
I’ll be the first to admit it.
But still, you remained stolidly beside me,
Never once fickle, never irresolute.
I could never ask for more from anyone.

I never stopped caring for you, thought it may have seemed so
My heart turned to ice when I thought you were
Struck down in the bleak battle below.
I would never forgive myself, should I
Let that befall you, my statue of strength.

So here we stand again, side by side
Facing Death in the face, with all his
Minions on his flanks.
But I know, we will make it through.
Because we made it here together, and will never be apart.

Author Name:Facade(Sandra)
Category:H/Hr
Point of view: Harry

Her mouth tugged into that wondrous smile
A gentle curve
Slowly she whips her head around
This makes him forget

Of any bland thought
What he was going to do today
Or what his actions of yesterday caused

His hands grasp his seat tightly
A numb feeling passes over
Yet he gapes and does not notice

For his gaze is following her every move
The flowing pattern of her movements
The glow emitting from her
Her perky nose
And the curling luminous hair

Perhaps she wasn’t what men envisioned
On those lonely nights
Where a glass of vodka sat by their hand

Or the illusions he once had
when he dreamt of she
The one whose face was masked
The dreams that made him scream
Out to the darkness of the canopy sky

Maybe his artificial influence of exactly who she was
Were not correct
Maybe he dreamt of a blonde hair woman
With eyes of sea colored blue

Yes

But this made the difference

Of recognizing reality from mere mirages

Watching her casually lick her lips
And her ink stained hands grasping that quill

How much did he now crave
To be be part of that charm bracelet she cherished deeply

How much did he want her to smile back at him
With that added in secretive twinkle of knowing

Knowing what was felt between him and her

He preferred her wild brunette curls
Her smoldering eyes

To those of that presented woman of the media

She was his
As he was hers

And the difference between his once naive fallacy to this actuality
Of him and her

Made up for his wishful thinking
If his hopes were actually turned into
Reality

A/N: I decided to turn this plot bunny in just for the heck of it. It wouldn't leave me alone until I did.

Point of view: Harry's

A/N: I know it's bad but i wanted to give it a go... here it goes!

I have kept this from you

I have kept this from you
In doubt that it will come true

When I first saw you with Krum
I thought I’d slip and fall on my bum
As I watch you with Ron
My hope was long gone

I have kept this from you
In fear that you won’t feel the same
But I secretly wish you do
And my heart jumps when you call my name

I was not smart, not realizing it soon,
I kept looking at you mindlessly, like a loon
When you looked back, my heart froze
And I quickly looked away, and from your seat, you rose

But I can’t keep it from you
That I don’t want you to
Go with another guy
Who doesn’t appreciate your chocolate eyes

I can’t keep it from you
That I really love you too
But unlike the other admirers
I really adore your mental powers

I can’t keep it from you
That I really love you too
But now my heart will break
Whe I hear you ache
I know you don’t feel the same way
But I do, and I will every day

Point of View: Harry

A/N - I've submitted this rather resentfully, but I wouldn't leave myself alone until I submitted it. That's my first excuse, here's my second, I've submitted this due to lack of better judgement.



I have lost so many over the years,
In this one act, I challenge my fears.

One by one, they will all fall,
Until I am the last, and there I stand tall.

I have aged so much, and yet I'm still a child,
But my strength in full rage – so wild.

So many despise me and yet I’m a hero,
For something of lost memories attached with sorrow.

Face to face, we come,
With one last curse, it’s done,

My role has ended, it is set,
To this world, I no longer owe debt.

At last, to my wrist, I hold this blade,
No longer must I play this silly charade.

I will show the world the price,
This is my last sacrifice.

My Secret

I have these feelings, deep inside
feelings that I have to hide
I don't know if he feels that way too
And I don't know what to do
When he's around I feel so right
I dream about what we can do
And all the things we can pursue
I yearn just to feel his touch
And when he leaves, I miss him so much
I want to feel his lips against mine
And feel our bodies intertwine
So for now I'll love him from afar
One day I'll express how special you are
So until then I will retain this rush
And until then I'll contain my crush.

(A/N: This is ment to be a song. I just don't have the means to record it yet. This is why one of the parts keeps getting repeated. It's the song's chorus)

My friend won't
talk to me
And you're there
I get hurt.
And you're always there
I have a bad day
And you're there
I screw up
And you're still there.

When ever I think I'm going crazy
You and your love sustains me

You give me your heart and you catch me when I fall
You let me be me
You break down my walls
When I think I'm losing my mind and my faith
Darlin, my baby, yes you keep me Sane

I want you, someday for my wife
You're my love
Baby you are my whole life

My conscious
Whenever I want to explode
My balance
Always, you are my safe mode

I'm the wild
You're the tame
You are the logic
I am a runaway train

You give me your heart and you catch me when I fall
You let me be me
You break down my walls
When I think I'm losing my mind and my faith
Darlin, my baby, yes you keep me Sane

Curl up together
Make love on the floor
Walk through the rain
Rich though we're poor

You make me feel like I have worth
No one else on this Earth
Can make me feel the way you do.
My sweet love, just you.

You give me your heart and you catch me when I fall
You let me be me
You break down my walls
When I think I'm losing my mind and my faith
Darlin, my baby, yes you keep me sane

You keep me sane

Title: Chronicles Of Me
Author Name: blazefury
Category: Draco/Ginny
POV: Ginny, speaking in third person.

She had once sat,
with the puppet master who lurked and played.
When she asked and whispered in a dead man's ear.
Won't you come out today?
She was entwined in darkness, and it tainted her slightly,
you see there - that black patch on her heart.
Not in entirety, but still.
She knew, of promises, and how they were useless,
sweet nothings whispered in one's ear,
as the knife twists in your back.
For hers was still there, in a shape of lightning bolt
-a scar.
What facades she could resurrect, she did
and licked her wounds, as she laid in the meadows,
the smell of burning pages reaching her nose.
Returning, with whispers, she stepped on all of them,
rising above, keeping her secret
of him visiting her in her sleep,
leaving her unbridled,
vulnerable,
seduced by his phantom touch, those hot flashes
all, never really fading away,
even when she clasped her hands against her ears
to stop the conspiratorial whispers,
in a loop, never stopping.
Lost and somewhat barren.
Till she stubbed out lost dreams.
Bitter.
Broken.
Watching everything slide…
Until she realised she would not bend
even with the ache so heavy on her chest.
Slowly pushing away at the frayed ends, as she had no
more tears to shed, her throat sore,
the mask fallen,
dissolved.
Did she dare?
Laugh, so hollow, cynical,
ask
Is the blood spilt, meant to save?

Part Deux, fresh, no longer weak,
unwilling to conform, to show the weakness
that was worn on her sleeve.
The ravens feasting on her divested skin,
infested with black lust and...
yesterday.
The smile she wore, not tight and curt,
more warm, welcoming,
free.
She thinks.
Oddment, tweak, her eyes laugh, mirth reflected,
as she leans across and catches her brother's eye,
a joke,


Woe betide you both! - giggle.


Her tongue, sweet, as a tangled lie,
sets up,
spun slowly with the ease of veritable cunning,
A trick she learnt somewhere perhaps?
And so many she knows, that she wants to share.
She knows also,
that he doesn't want her to hate,
more to get angry, so her cheeks are flushed and she
needs to bite her tongue from being vulgar.
She knows he wants attention and she
doesn't mind giving it, since she is
sought.
For shame.
He stares at her and all she can do is look back,
her hands fidgeting under the table.
She tries to read them, but she can't
see anything.
There is nothing, except..
something alien that she can't exactly fathom,
at that moment.
Where, the backs of their hands touch slightly,
his eyes boring into her neck, their frequent,
altercations,
so palpable.
Nothing less of course. - he drawls.
And then he answered her question.

Not really.

Save who exactly?

And she runs,
unsure
just like the first time,
And then it's all so...
free falling?
As the weight is lifted off her
shoulders, marked by teeth and lips
And she doesn't want it to end,
as hands, hands rove against skin, his own,
such pale contrast against hers.
And she whispers,
clutch,
struggling against the insane urge to;
oh...brightly coloured lights, never wanting it to end.
Spying pink marks along the trail of freckles
her
spine against a precipice,
willing flesh
getting torn into two; splintering
And all she's doing is drowning
as her hair tumbles around her tear-streaked face,
like blood from an open wound,
a tongue reaching out to lick his salty brow.

Breathe.

And she's lying flat, no longer
falling
with a shadow across her
face.

There was so much noise,
white.
Now, only, flowing sounds, lilting,
almost hypnotic.
His eyes are heavy lidded,
each staggered breath,
a close.
Each feeling,
intense and overwhelming as the next.
Smooth, long lines, each new flight,

Slow...

Lasting...

Satisfaction...

It was just one kiss,
like wind,
on soft sand.
It was.
Just.
Fingers, clenched,
around fabric,
before descending,
You were not meant to see,
but more to
-feel.
And listen to each breath,
blown across your skin.
Every arch thrown across the bridge,
every precipice against the wall.
hard,
yielding.
A deep crescendo...

His hair,
with moonlight poured,
bearing a false aureole,
And she laughs, as he whispers in her ear,
promises naught.
And she answers with the truth,
her faith,
her soul,
her brokeness lost,
her foreign tongue,
or are they her foreign words
alone.
Their solace sought,
as she crawls, her body a silhouette against him,
his hands wrapped around,
Both of them moving slowly,
Fitting perfectly,
moulded against one another.

Hold me

More…
Come.

And their eyes are closed.
Interlocked fingers,
Warm skin

Breathe.

A smile engraved upon their face.
Her eyes are open,
as he does not string her along for his own devious needs,
no disillusions to words,
but only brutal honesty
and harsh entanglements.
his tempest rage,
and soft touches,
mapping her body,
and his tongue tracing across her lips
in askance
and she closes her eyes,
letting go
of what was yesterday,
unravelled.

---------------------


That's the end. Ambiguous. It's a tale...of how things have gone. You can see this is Ginny's perspective, but it's in third.

This was written all in one go, so it's not entirely the best, but thank you for reading it.

If I didn't see your smirk
you wouldn't make me shy

If I didn't hear your words
I never would have cried

If I didn't smell your scent
I never would have followed

If you never were uncruel
my pride I would have swallowed

If I hadn't felt your touch
from your presence I would steer

If your lips I hadn't tasted
I'd most likely not have fear

And even though I've done all this
I hate to have to say

That if I didn't know your name
I promise I would stay

Title: I Weep
Category: Harry and Hermione
Point of view: Hermione's

In the darkness of the night,
while all the world is asleep.
I stare into the endless void,
and I begin to weep.

I weep not because my heart aches,
for you still lay here beside me.
I weep not out of physical pain,
for your presence is soothing as can be.

I weep not for all I have seen,
through the twists and turns of war.
I weep not for the many lives destroyed,
though I wonder why we were fighting at all.

Do not think I bear no sorrow,
or no feeling for all those we've lost.
That for which I weep may seem small,
but it too must be counted among costs.

I weep for the laughter and life,
I once saw dancing within your eyes.
I weep for the emptiness which that has taken their place,
and the feelings you hide beneath your disguise.

I weep for the boy I once knew,
the boy you were when we first met.
The boy whose love was used against him,
the boy you've tried so hard to forget.

I weep for the childhood innocence,
we once carried like a protective shield.
I weep for how soon it was torn away,
and the weapons we were forced to wield.

I weep for the years you spent alone,
never knowing how it felt to have a friend.
I weep for the wounds burned deep into your soul,
wounds time will never truely mend.

I weep for the girl you never really knew,
whose insecurities I still carry inside.
I weep for the lonliness that surrounded her heart,
lost in a new world that left her terrified.

I weep for the nights she spent like this,
crying endless tears into her pillow.
I weep in memory of her happiest hour,
when you turned up to be her hero.

I weep for the easy friends we were,
how we always stood together.
I weep for that which I knew for certain,
that we would remain friends forever.

I weep for the love that grew,
as the years flashed by so fast.
I weep because neither of us noticed,
how that love pushed friendship into the past.

I weep because of the love we share,
which leaves no room for what we once had.
I weep because I'm happier than I've ever been,
yet I still can't help feeling a little sad.

I weep because I love you,
more and more with each passing day.
I weep because I don't know what I'd do,
if your love was ever taken away.

So, in the darkness of the night,
while you lay beside me asleep.
I'll lay right here within your arms,
and I'll continue to weep....

i could never tell my dear,

i dreamt we'd be apart,
tho i kno it so not true,
it would break my heart,
if he ever knew.

sometimes im left wandering,
if my dear even knew,
that i had been pandering,
o what would he do?

so i am left here now,
crying my heart out,
if only i knew how,
not to cry but pout.

i wander what my dreams all ment,
as we lived together so long,
all those letters i sent,
was it all so wrong?

i'm here right now telling you this,
as i could be receiving,
how we stood under the mistle toe and shared that kiss,

This longest summer
stretches on and on.

I'm trapped again
underneath
the cupboard stairs.

At night I think of you,
the warmth of your smile
almost lost to me.

And to remember,
I write you hundreds of letters
you'll never see.

I tell you all the things
trapped and battling inside
of me.

I want you to know them all
but I'm afraid of telling you
every single pain,
every burning rage.

I have spilled ink
on my bed;
parchment
scattered on the floor;
broken, bitten quills
tucked in every corner
of my room.

Words spiral around my head,
I love you, I'll keep you
safe, forever, mine.
All mine.

I end up writing your name
on my pillow, on my walls
if I could write it on my skin
I will.

This longest summer
goes on and on.

I want to go home
back where I'd find you:

at the library,
reading one of your many books;
at the common room,
curled up, warmed by the fire.

I dream of you sometimes
and it helps to heal
the little wounds
but it makes me ache
so much more.

In the morning, I know
I have a thousand
more days to go.

I miss you already.

Er, well. That's it. Quite short and a bit (a bit?) pointless but I had to submit it. The voice inside my head won't shut up. And I'm really scared of that voice, it sounds awfully just like me, but I swear it's not me...

Every night as I lay down
to sleep
Visions of your pretty little
hart shaped face grace
my dreams.
I can see clearly the dimple that
only shows on your right cheek
when you smile, the glow
in your honey brown eyes and
the soft, and heartily felt laugh
you use when you see
me doing something stupid.
I can can see the perfectly spaced
freckles that adorn that
small and adorable little nose
you have.
The arc of that right eyebrow
you've mastered form me.

~So many times did I see you use it~

I can also see the rose color
blush that flushes your
cheeks when I surprise you.
Besides seeing I can imagine
the smoothness of your soft, creamy skin
and the silkiness of your long,
and curly red hair.
But none of the wonderful things
could and can replace the
emptiness I feel when I
dream of you
because when I do I remember
that I will never in my life
get to touch or see you again.
Why did you leave me?

Open your eyes and dry your tears,

There underneath your pain and sorrow,
I am the light to guide your way.
Through all the twists and turns in the road,
right here by your side I'll stay.

When ever you're drowning and unable to draw breath,
I will be there to toss you a line.
If ever you lack the strength to fight on,
I will be there to lend you mine.

When you achieve all that you can,
I'll be there watching and full of pride.
Know that you are the son of my heart;
I ment all that I said, I never lied.

Accept the changes time sends your way,
rejoice in the happiness life has to give.
Do not dwell on your pain or sorrow,
and through your love I will always live.

Wanting and waiting, wandering and wavering,
I wonder if ever, I’ll awake from this dream.
I may wait here forever, for never is ever,
For never is ever, in my life, it seems.

I haven’t yet seen your sparkling eyes,
Be they shining like fireflies, or hate and despise.
Nor the laughter and tears, or the love in the lies.
Or the delight and happiness in a pleasant surprise.

As of right now, I don’t know if we’ve met
If not, I'm not sure if I’m ready just yet.
You see, love is a razor-sharp knife,
It carves beautiful pictures, but can scar you for life.

Under the scintillating stars, good times we will share,
I am your star; even if you can’t see me, I will be there.
Because faith isn’t faith if you rely on your sight,
I’ll stay with you in darkness to be your light.

I’m sorry for every time I’ve given my heart away,
It’s been returned broken before, but I can truthfully say,
That I've put the pieces back together and it’s as good as new,
And this time, I’ll be holding on to it until I find you.

I hope that we will find each other some day,
Until that happens, I’ll remember to pray,
That through all times, we’ll continue to rise.
Because the truth is, I’m scared.
Yes, love is like a rose, but a rose always dies.

With every word you ever said
With Every terror you’ve ever faced
With every scar that's ever bled
You’ve made my world a better place

You where the hero in my eyes
Although all that you could see
Was a stained lie satisfied
Beyond your grasp, was you and me

You protected me from others
You were kind and you were loyal
Although your so strong with villains unknown
Your thoughts are buried beyond thick soil

A friend is something sacred
Like a river running rapid
You can change its course entirely
But you can never hold it captive

So in your mind and in your heart
Please give in to what’s so right
End this battle with your mind
And let me lye with you tonight

Hello! My name is Cornelius Fudge,
I like bogie flavored ice cream, with chocolate fudge!

I’m a bit thick, and I drink lots of rum,
And what a coincidence, I like Viktor Krum!

But please, bear with me. You see,
To ruin the wizarding world, is my destiny!

I was once under Dumbledores' care,
But now, I run off to other friends, like a frightened old hare!

In league of friends, are Lucius Malfoy,
Who’s almost as wise as Gilderoy!

And although I know my ends come from a Death Eater,
The deed could easily be done by a stray Quidditch Beater!

Point of view: Lily/James alternating

In these last few moments the air around me is filled with fear
As I try in vain to protect you
And our
Creation
His eyes penetrate my soul and fill it with
Ice that even your touch could not melt
Lily I’m crying out to you why can’t you hear me
I love you and I always have
Ever since the day that we first met
Every second in your presence I love you more and more
And I don’t know how I’ll go on without you
He speaks and all at once my world turns upside down
Green light blinds me numbs me
But still my heart cries out
Your name
And I think about our son
How I love him
I tried so hard to keep him safe
But it wasn’t enough
As I sink down to the ground
Your face on my mind
Your name on my lips
Lily I hope to see you
In the world beyond

These last few seconds are full
Of anguish and terror and fear
And hate I heard you fall
I heard his voice utter
Your death sentence
And inside my heart turned cold
Turned into ice
As if it were I who were dying
All of those years wasted
That I could have had with you
My one regret
I’ve loved you since I first caught sight of
Your messy hair and your round glasses
I’ve loved you all along
And now you’re gone
And I’m here left with our son
He looks just like you
And now in the face of death
He looks at me with your face
And I cry out
To him the most evil the most terrifying creature
Standing in front of me
Spare his life
Take me instead
Take me he can survive
Without me without us
But without you
I am nothing and I have nothing to live for
So let it be brief
Let it be painless
James I hope
To see you soon
Because I’ve never felt anything as
Painful as
These last few seconds
