Summary: The world was an unloving, unforgiving place. They knew, but still they persisted. They wanted a place they belonged, somewhere.
Disclaimer: As unfortunate as it is, I don't own the HP series by J.K. Rowling. Or the song "Anywhere" by Evanescence.
"This world just isn't big enough."
Anywhere
They both knew that things wouldn't stay like this. They couldn't. How could they? Even if the most feared wizard in the world was dead, prejudice lived on. Even now people where starting to murmur. The first natural response would be to ignore. But was it really possible, when the longer you did the more danger you'd be in? In this world full of oddities why did they have to be the strange ones? It wasn't fair, it just wasn't…
Dear my love
Haven't you wanted
To be with me and
Dear my love
Haven't you longed
To be free I can't keep pretending
That I don't even know you and
That sweet night
You are my own…
"Together, forever. Until the end of time." Until the end of time was coming a lot sooner than they'd thought. Especially if they continued to run lives in this black and white world. Forever limited to their ideals. Never once willing to grasp the fact that the world (muggle and wizard alike) was changing. In ways no one would have guessed.
Take my hand
We're leaving here tonight
There's no need
To tell anyone
They'd only hold us down
So by the
Morning's light
Where we have way
To anywhere
Where love is more
Than just your name…
From the very first kiss, they knew. From the very first time they said the words that meant the world to them, they knew. Their fate, however twisted, was sealed. There'd be no turning back. No regrets where to be had. They never wanted to hide their shame or pride from anyone. No, they where not afraid of the way this sin has warped them. If anything they embraced it. In reality they knew things would never be the way they wanted it. Two choices where presented to them: give in to normalcy or go against it. Being the people they where obviously the later appealed to them more. This place was no longer a home. When the only accepting man they knew died, so did their sanctuary. The only choice left now was to leave. Leave this place, these people, their hatred. Leave and forget. Hope the scars left by old friends will be healed. Pray they'll find happiness or die trying. Someplace they belonged, together.
I have dreamt
Of a place for you and I
Where no one knows
Who we are there
All I want
Is to give my life
Only to you
I dreamt so long
I can not dream anymore
Lets run away
I'll take you there
We're leaving here tonight
There's no need
To tell anyone
They'd only hold us down
So by the
Morning's light
Where we have way
To anywhere
Where no one needs a reason…
And they would hold each other up, for no one else would. When the war ended naivety danced around them. Playfully giving them hopes. Happily lying to them about how their future was as bright and as endless as their love. They thought they could finally, after so long, be at peace with the world. That they wouldn't have to run like frightened mice. That they could walk out into the sunlight without fear. The place they've dreamt of sadly didn't exist. But they continued to hope and dream. That one day, someday they could freely introduce this new concept to those narrow minded people they once called 'friends'.
Forget this life
Come with me
Don't look back
Your safe now
Unlock your heart
Drop your guard
No ones left to stop you
Forget this life
Come with me
Don't look back
Your safe now
Unlock your heart
Drop your guard
No ones left
To stop you now…
But perhaps that was their problem. Maybe all this time they where the ones with the issue. They'd spent and dedicated so much to worrying about what the world thought. How it viewed them. Its opinions. It took them so long to finally realize that, however much it hurt, none of it really mattered! So what if they where different? So what if their world was rejected. Who in the end really cared? Its not like they where in love with them. It wasn't as if they desired nothing more than to spend eternity with them. All they ever wanted was to be accepted. Like how a child craves its mother's attention. That's all they wanted. And just like the child, they grew up. Just like the child they eventually got used to not having the attention or 'acceptance' they desired. None of it mattered. When it came down to it, not a single one of them did.
We're leaving her tonight
There's no need
To tell anyone
They'd only hold us down
So by the
Mornings light
Where we have way
To anywhere
Where love is more
Than just your name
Harry and Draco understood. Without each other they wouldn't be able to face the harsh realities of the world. That the only thing that mattered was that they loved each other. They where in it together.
