Their Love
{The darkness enveloped her with waiting hands and welcoming arms.}
What could've been years rather than seconds was all it took for her to realize wasn't plummeting to her much expected death. She was, instead, staring into the inappropriately smirking face of none other than Draco Malfoy.
His stormy grey irises connected to her golden brown ones, at once.
Watching, wondering, examining her; and breaking down the wall she so carefully built with one sweeping glance. They both knew what this look could cause- walls to collapse, bridges to form, and lives to connect- everything they always feared.
Fear that was known only to those who would experience it first hand. The power of everything they stood for was in the balance, and one slip-up could result in the destruction and demise of everything they held near.
They both had understood this when their control faltered and they looked.
Now they both vow to protect the world from its most powerful weapon ever constructed.
Their love.
