Warning: poetry
A/N: Originally started for dmhgchallenge prompt: royalty, but I couldn't get it to fit the word count. Was also thinking about poetic_hp prompt: rise.
Standing straight and tall with cold demeanor set,
He reigned the student body as their royalty
And looked about the faces of an open sea,
Where flash of challenge sparked when two eyes there had met
And words were slung between to make each other’s bet.
Then action opened fire with spells and alchemy,
And hatred flared between them with no remedy,
More than any wizard surely could have let.
Though power, money, and prestige had he upon his side,
The greater gifts of courage we now know she had possessed.
With fortitude her stead, and in intelligence was dressed,
She ripped the victory from him and pushed him down the slide
To land below the commoners and look up from that place,
And realise all he’d lost was writ there clear upon her face.
