Piecing It Together

A HariPo freeverse piece

Note: The Harry Potter characters belong to J.K. Rowling, not to me. This pairing is a Mew and Mor's Weird Pairing, which you may find in the M&MWP forum (see my profile for details). Check out and join the forum FUN! Read, review, and enjoy!

"Picking up the conversations

deep in your imagination

tune into the lonely voices

talking of their only choices"

—Depeche Mode, "Freestate"

/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\

Before it all

(Harry)

(Cedric)

(all the doom-and-gloom)

There was…

a m-o-m-e-n-t

It wasn't on the Quidditch pitch

nor in a class

(or even in Hogsmeade)

In the halls

lies a captive magic

of its

o w n

And she didn't figure it out right away

/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\

Originally,

she bumped into him

b.o.o.k.s mixed&tumbled

They hastened to gather their things

on the way to class

Marietta couldn't be bothered to help

(she's always good for a grumble)

Dean had his arms full

(poor kid was trying to keep his art supplies balanced on his sketchbook)

But Cho

&& Seamus

didn't give the meeting another look

until l-a-t-e-r

when it was

too l!a!t!e

/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\

As Harry fell for her

& she desired

Cedric

Seamus watched on the sidelines

(interested & not)

Cho played with hearts

(not really knowing what to do)

&…

C*R*A*S*H

Things all fell

a~p~ar~t

/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\

There were too many

jumbled

emotions

Cho was hurt

(again&again)

Seamus laughed halfheartedly

(at other things—he couldn't be near her)

But they saw what was going on

The world wasn't built for them

(they'd have to build one up on their own)

So…

With Cho hurt

&& Seamus never o-u-t-s-t-a-n-d-i-n-g

A realization happened

They could build a world of their own

/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\

Ditching the useless others

(Marietta included, Dean not)

o n e had the thought

to come together

& create a place

of their o w n

(because really, it shouldn't be shared)

& they relied on each other,

the two thought least likely

to do much,

and…

V~o~i~l~a

There wasn't a need for their classmates' drama

Why have drama,

When you can have the

c.o.m.p.a.n.i.o.n.s.h.i.p

you so desire?

/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\

And that is how you write Chomus. B) Seamus/Cho is more of a funny pairing, but I like to look deeper into their characters. They really are…well, kind of the underdogs. But this is cool! XD

Thanks for reading, and please review!

2017 note: Tbh, even 7 yrs later, I think of Chomus with a fond smile, a bemused grin. As mentioned in my 2010 A/N, they have great comedic potential, even tho that doesn't come out here. :D
