Why so serious?

A HariPo freeverse piece

by mew-tsubaki

Note: The Harry Potter characters belong to J.K. Rowling, not to me. This is…O.o. Whoa. Just…read. Read, review, and enjoy!

Why do you look

SHOCKED,

Remus?

Perhaps Miss Evans has…

turned a n·e·w leaf

It's her k~i~n~d personality I

l-o-v-e,

you see

So please close your gaping mouth, Moony

Lily gave me flowers today

%%%%%%%%%%

Why do you look so

PAINED,

Sirius?

I told you that…

my

c*h*a*r*m*s

would work on

Lily Evans

someday

Her stubbornness, I'd say, keeps me

g–o–i–n–g,

understand

So please glare at ol' Snivellus today, Padfoot

Lily gave me lilies today

%%%%%%%%%%

Why do you look

UNCOMFORTABLE,

Peter?

Maybe Lils has…

brought her ·n·o·s·e·

out of her

books

long enough to realize I mean those three little w:o:r:d:s

It's her smarts that set me straight & let me know we're

m-e-a-n-t t-o b-e,

yeah

So please stop fidgeting, Wormtail

Lily gave me orange lilies today

%%%%%%%%%%

Why do I feel so

SICK?

I ~know~ Lily's

-destined-

for me…one day…

The orange of the petals matches her hair, I swear…!

She's a clever one, my Lily…

So please forget the bad taste in your mouth, Prongs, old boy

Even if the language of flowers says they mean H-A-T-R-E-D—

Lily gave me flowers today

:O That last line just keeps echoing in my head… James would force that meaning out of his mind, wouldn't he? Merlin… O.O Heavy…! But yeah, orange lilies mean hatred or dislike… Merlin…!

Thanks for reading, and please review!

2017 note: NICE. One of my fav FVs, tbh. I have a thing for symbology (something I research in my free time), and studying the language of flowers back in 2011 led to this piece. I mean, Lily didn't always love James, so… ;]
