Disclaimer: All characters from Harry Potter beling to J.K. Rowling, "To My Child" belongs to a dude named George Arlington, I think. (If the name on the forward can be trusted...) I own nothing except this poor little excuse for a fic.
Hey to all you HarryxDraco lovers out there! This is a little something I based on the sweetest forward I got, called "To My Child" (i.e. This is a modified version of "To My Child" for H/D). If you want to read that, let me know through a review (shameless tactic for reviews) and I'll email it to you.
To My Harry: Just for today.
Just for this morning, I am going to smile when I see your face and laugh when I feel like crying.
Just for this morning, I will let you choose what I will wear, even if it does mean wearing that horrid dragon shirt-thing I hate.
Just for this morning, I will let you cook breakfast, and no matter how bad, I will just smile and tell you how wonderful it is.
Just for this morning, I will ignore the unmade bed and dirty laundry, and take you out for a walk in the park.
Just for this morning, I will leave the chores undone and let you show me how fast that new broomstick of yours is.
Just for this afternoon, I will leave the piles of paperwork on my desk and just sit with you in the backyard, lazing in the sun.
Just for this afternoon, I will not yell once, not even a tiny grumble when you whine about a sudden sugar craving, and I'll take you to Florean Fortescue's for a sundae.
Just for this afternoon, I will come with you to visit your friends, and I'll even be nice to them for once.
Just for this afternoon, I will wear the "kiss-the-cook" apron you like so much when I'm cooking.
Just for this afternoon, I will let you help me bake cookies and I won't stand over you trying to fix them.
Just for this evening, I will hold you in my arms and tell you a story about how I fell in love with you and how much I love you now.
Just for this evening, I will let you join me in the shower and I won't mind if you drip water all over the floor.
Just for this evening, I will stay up late with you and we'll sit on the porch and count all the stars.
Just for this evening, I will do nothing but cuddle and kiss you for hours.
Just for this evening, when I run my fingers through your hair as you pray, I will simply be grateful that God has given me the greatest gift in the world.
I will try not to demand why you, who have already given so much, must be the one who saves the wizarding world.
I will try not to think about a time when you will leave me, to face Voldemort for the last time, to fulfill that loathsome prophecy.
I will try not to think about a time when I will clutch your pillow and cry, missing you more than I can bear.
I will try not to think about the possibility that you may not return...
And when I kiss you good night, I will hold you a little tighter and a little longer. It is then that I will thank God for you, and ask him for nothing, except one more day...
~End~
So? What do you think? Please, review! If you're going to flame, please leave a return email so I can return the favour, unlike some of the nameless flaming cowards out there!
