Only this moment

Okay..
Only this (moment)
Holds us (together)
Close to (perfection)
Nothing else (out there)
No one to (guide us)
Lost in the (senses)
Deep down inside I know our love will die
Okay..
Only this (moment)
Holds us (together)
Lost in (confusion)
Feelings are (out there)
Scared of the (ocean)
Doubting (intentions)
Deep down inside I know our love will die
Stay or forever go
Play or you'll never know
We haven't decided
You can't deny it's all you've been waiting for
Okay..
Stay or forever go
Play or you'll never know
Your spirit's divided
You will decide if I'm all you'll be waiting for
Guilt in my head
Have Been part of my twist
By the force of an angel
Revealing our fates
And our words don't make sense and I do understand,
Falling in love isn't part of our plan
Forces within me, makes reason with lust
But I try to accept it and not think it works
'Cause I know I might lose you by taking a chance
But love without pain isn't really romance
Okay..
Only this (moment)
Holds us (together)
Close to (perfection)
Nothing else (out there)
Always (beside her)
Trusting my (senses)
Deep down inside I know i will survive
Only this (moment)
Holds us (together)
Close to (perfection)
Nothing else (out there)
Always (beside her)
Trusting (my senses)
Deep down inside I know I will survive
Okay..

-Röyksopp Only this Moment

The pale Gryffindor stood silently out in the dark, just on the edge of the Forbidden Forest. It was an ungodly hour, an hour that guaranteed they would be safe. Secrets were always safe in the night.

Our place, she thought, forbidding memories leaking into her mind.

She had been waiting there for over an hour. He should have been there ten minutes ago. She shivered, partly out of the cold that the harsh wind brought underneath the layers of sweaters she had packed on before leaving the common room and partly out of fear. Fear that she had started something she couldn't finish, fear that she had done something that she would regret, and fear that she wanted something she couldn't have.

She wasn't worried, despite his absence. At this point, what did it matter? What if he didn't show? Yes, she would break, but what did that matter? She had known it all along. They were living on borrowed time but she had let her expectations grow. That was her fault, but she couldn't take that back now.

Transparent flakes of bitter snow begun to gather at the top of her red head, at the shoulders of her warm black wool cloak and on her light lashes. She stood silently as wind, once again broke through the layers of wool.

"Gin." The whisper was barely audible above the howl of the cold wind. His voice was just as bitterly cold as the wind that passed between them.

"Draco." Ginny answered quietly, turning to face the fair-haired seventeen year-old that stood beside her.

"We can't do this anymore." He was resentful; she could see it written across his sharp features and in his glacial eyes and the way he avoided her touch, her gaze.

"I know." Ginny finally replied, Draco slowly turned his head, his unnervingly cold eyes reaching her green ones.

"Maybe if things had been different…" Those generic words, they stung.

"They're not, though." Her tone was uncharacteristically irritated, "Don't explain. Don't you'll just do more damage. We are who we are. Things are not going to change they're not going to be different."

"Ginny… don't do this to yourself." His cold hand reached for hers.

"What we've done is wrong. Wrong to not only us but wrong to Parkinson… and… and Harry." Guilt wound it's way through the air between them.

"Ginny, be fair, we know… we know that this was meant to be."

"Fair? Love is not fair." Ginny looked away from Draco, "This was not meant to be forever."

"Ginny…" Draco's hand met her freckled cheek, turning her face to meet his, "Then only this moment holds us together."

Frosty lips met in an act of a dying love.
