No Other Name

I wiped the sweat running through my forehead.

It amazed me.

It wasn't like I ran a hundred miles, or I came from an all-day Quidditch practice.

I only wrote an essay.

Six essays, actually.

I wonder how that could tire me.

I shook my head and took off my glasses.

I leaned my head on the couch, closing my eyes.

But just before I could fully close it, I got a glimpse of something that was fiery red.

Forgetting how tired I was, I opened my eyes, put on my glasses and focused them on the girl sitting on her favorite couch in the common room, surrounded by her group of friends.

I stared at her great emerald eyes that never met mine.

I studied every detail of her beautiful face, every corner of her kissable lips and every freckle that looked so cute on her.

I took out a parchment and a quill and began scribbling her name again and again and again.

And always beside it were the three words, eight letters and three syllables that perfectly spoke of what I felt towards her.

Even if making her mine seemed like a very distant dream now and holding her in my arms was a fantasy, the irrevocable love I felt for her should never fade.

Because there is no other name that my heart keeps on shouting.

No other name other than Lily Evans.
