Green met smoldering silver. A fire raged in those eyes, burning with desire. An entire conversation was held through that look, ten years of hidden desires acknowledged in a fraction of a second. Without a word between them, a room was purchased. The stairs were climbed, the key turned in the lock and the door shut tight in its frame.

Lips met, soft and compliant, then firm and forceful. They both wanted this, had wanted it for years. They had waited on, watching and suffering in silence as the years unfolded their futures in different directions. They fed their passions by night, in the dark privacy of their separate beds—meaningless whispers, heated moans, words that died on the still night air as their dorm mates slept on.

Harry pulled the t-shirt over Draco's head and ran his hands over smooth, pale skin. Their lips met again, with more fire this time than before. They fell back onto the bed, their bodies pressed tightly against each other.

Their passion built as the storm raged outside. Warm lips pressed against bare skin, heated whispers and desperate whimpers filled the air. Their bodies tangled together in a seductive dance of lust and need.

The war was nothing to them now; it didn't exist in this vibrant new world. Neither had felt so much for so long. They weren't worried about what their friends would say, or what amount of damage this would do in their relationships. In the morning they would go back to their separate lives: Draco would slip easily into Astoria's arms and Harry would kiss Ginny with as much love as ever. No one would know of their affair. It would end here.

This room would keep their secret forevermore. Tomorrow, Harry would go back to being just 'Potter' and Draco to the same pompous 'Malfoy' he'd been since they met. The masks would return, as easily as they always had, and the masquerade would continue. Love and lust had no place in this war-torn world, after all. Despite the heart's desires, the show must go on.
