Harry couldn’t wait to give Draco a romantic poem. Valentine’s Day was just around the corner, and he wanted to do something special for him on their first Valentine’s Day as a couple. Sure, Harry knew he wasn’t a poet. Truth be told, he wasn’t much of a writer at all. But poetry wasn’t about writing, after all - it was about feelings, right? And he had plenty of those. Besides, Draco will love it just because it is from him. Harry was sure of that. OK, here we go …

Draco, your hair is the colour of snow,
It must be hard work to make it just so.

Um … maybe not.  Let’s try that again …

Draco, your skin is pale as can be,
Except when you’re squirming underneath me.

Well … er … no.  That’s not very romantic.  True, maybe, but not romantic.

Draco, who would have thought we’d ever be an ‘us‘?
What rhymes with ‘us’? Bus …cuss … fuss … muss … oh, forget that.

There once was a wizard named Draco,
Who … cake-o? fake-oh? Jake-oh?

(mmmm Jake Gyllinhaal … mmm). Uh …nope.

Draco, I wrote this poem just for you,
To tell you about my feelings so true.
I have fun with you now,
Even when we row,
I just wanted to say ‘I love you’.

 

Merlin, is that the best I can do? I sound like a bloody girl! Worse, I sound like a lovesick girl that can’t write to save her life. Draco will laugh his arse off at that one! Maybe poetry really is about writing. I really am shite at this stuff. Better think of something else, then.

Harry couldn’t wait to give Draco a romantic dinner. Yes, that was much better. And just to be safe, he would enlisted Dobby’s help. Since he used to work for the Malfoys, he knew all of Draco’s favourites. He would be so grateful, Harry could imagine what fun they'd have after dinner ...

Oh, yes, Harry couldn’t wait …


A/N:  I really did try to write something serious, fluffy and romantic, but it just wouldn't come.  Then my twisted plot bunny jumped into action.  Heh.

Glad I made you laugh. You know, I tried, but the serious romantic stuff just wouldn't flow ...

That was awesome! Harry's attempts were so brave, yet so futile. Poor, poor Harry. I would have felt more sorry for Draco, though, if Harry had actually given him one of those poems. *laughs*

Thanks.

Ah, yes ... imagine Draco trying to keep a straight face! Or outright laughing at poor Harry. Yes, I think it's best all-around if Harry just steers clear of poetry.

Ahaha... Harry's poetry skills are brilliantly funny! I can just imagine Draco's reaction to the unsuccessful ones: the raised eyebrow, the slight sneer, "I'm not pale, Potter. I just have delicate skin!"

Anyway, the last poem was very sweet... What a lovely and suitable piece around Valentine's Day!

Now Draco has to find the poem!

Jake Gyllenhaal … mmm Indeed!

Perhaps Harry can recite something in Parseltongue...

Thanks. I enjoyed writing the horrible poetry! ♥

"I'm not pale, Potter. I just have delicate skin!"

Too true!

Jake Gyllenhaal … mmm Indeed! Yup - my favourite!

Oooohhh, I like the idea of Draco finding it. Hmmm ... plot bunny alert!

I've never written parselsmut before - first time for everything? Or collaboration maybe? Hmmm ...

It's easy... you just write what Harry's saying in italics and Draco goes crazy.

We could collaborate! Hmmm... if you do a part two... you could start with "Harry couldn't wait to give Draco a romantic dinner." Little did he know that Draco couldn't wait to give him the shagging of his life. And then we could cut to Draco coming in the house... Harry banging away in the kitchen, swearing with colourful brilliance, and Draoc could sneak in and see Harry's bum (while he's like, picking up a pot or something) and then his eyes can light on the paper, he'll read it and then melt. Then H can get up and be all "WTF, Draco! You're not supposed to be home!" potspoon and recipe book in hand, then he'll see the look on D's face, look at the paper in his hand, blush a becoming shade of red and then Draco will kiss him soundly, bending him back over the counter and we'll end with a "Happy Valentine's Day, darling." :)

OK, minus the parselsmut, I posted our "collaborative" piece. Thanks.
