The Lightness of Love

Belongs not to me

Potterverse to JKR

Nathan to dear Fer

---

He walked on the sand

Again, as he did daily

Barefoot felt so good

The white stone called him

Again, as it did daily

He sat down on it

He was comfortable

And the stone began to tell

Its long history

Interesting snippets

Of a girl not long ago

Sitting down on it

Longing for someone

Someone she’d known long ago

Longing for—a git?

Did he hear that right?

Messy-haired know-it-all, her

Really, was it her?

She whom he’d dreamt of

Too often to count the times

Perhaps she liked him?

‘Thank you, Stone,’ he said

Then returned back home, barefoot

No shoes still felt good

He considered it

Wearing no shoes in classes

Instead he sought her

‘Good day, Miss Granger.’

She stared at him and his feet

‘Hello,’ she whispered

She stretched out her hand

‘Shall we go for a walk, sir?’

‘Lady, I’d love to.’

They walked on the grounds

Until a white stone was reached

‘Home,’ both voices said

‘I dreamt,’ she started

‘As did I,’ his words came forth

‘I heard,’ the stone said

‘Get together, you

‘The love is there between you

‘Live a happy life!’

And they both obeyed

And Nathan was born to them

True joy had arrived

Every year they went

To visit an old, white stone

Who said, ‘Hello, dears’

And they greeted it

With happiness and much love

‘Hello, dear white stone’

The old white stone smiled

‘Dear humans, it feels so good

To have spread such love’

Hermione and Snape

Felt much of the loved stone’s warmth

Nathan felt its love

‘Mum, Dad, it loves you’

He stated matter of fact

‘And I love you, too.’
