Magpie 30 - Tempted


I couldn't
make myself
resist you,
nor did I really
want to miss
laughing eyes,
smiling promise
into my heart,
your strength
oozing charisma
on my resolve,
practiced caresses
lighting fires,
desires
Too much
for this young heart
so I took
that first bite
and fell.

This is a magpie tale.

I can't seem to send you a mail, so here is my reply from the Burrower Blog-

Tina- didn't know you were a Potter buff too. And I think I can make a calculated guess what the two of you disagreed on.
Thank you for your comments on the story- it is one of my favourites, though when I now read it, I can see all the flaws I never even noticed then.
Molly's kids and Hermione were two of the contenders. Lily Evans was a third (her mother was the daughter), and Colin Cheevy's mother was the third - there must be some reason both brothers were born magical.
