AN: This was written after Half Blood Prince but before Deathly Hallows. Apparently there are people who don't understand my allusion to Draco/Ginny so I've explained some of it at the end.
Hearts of Ice and Flame
Calm, cool, calculating – the tricks of His trade
Passion, emotion, sensation – She whirls through life
But Gone are the Conflicts of Youth,
The Reign of Night has passed.
A new Age has Risen,
The Old is seen Anew.
What was Impossible
Is Normal
What was Life
Is now History
Dark has fallen
Driven away yet defined by the Lightning
Now Both are Gone.
Not to be feared,
Always to be remembered.
The Ice had Grown in the Darkness,
The Fire had helped dispel It.
Blind to Their similarities
They lived Their lives
In the calm after the Storm.
Until…They collide
But flinch back in pain.
Fire burns, Eyes blazing with life
Ice burns, Eyes freezing in contempt
They said His Ice could not be melted,
She said nothing could be that unfeeling.
They said Her Fire was hotter than the sun,
He said no one could survive like that.
He is drawn to Her
Like the proverbial moth.
She is drawn to Him
Fascinated by the enigma.
What's more intriguing than the unknown?
What's more attractive than the mysterious?
They Dance.
An intricate Waltz of tempers and hatred
Becomes a ritual
Never to be ignored.
He coaxes the Inferno
Blazing higher in vexation.
The danger draws Him in,
The Cold Hatred changes.
No longer out of Hate
But in Interest.
The Beauty of Life!
Fire embodies what Ice has Never Known
Defending Her pride
She shows the meaning of Life.
She proves Life is possible
In the Sun
Unaware, Fire sought Ice
Wanting to Inspire
Reaction, Emotion…
Life
What are these emotions?
Ice can not feel!
The 'Cicle begins to drip
Trying to douse the Embers
Flames flicker
But flair to life
In the knowledge of success
Fire can melt anything!
The 'Cicle rebuilds itself
But basking in the Flame
Lets its Hardened shields
Grow 'round the Fire
Rather than between
Heart of Ice revived
Reborn as Coolest Fire
Learned the Leading Lesson:
To be Loved, One must Love.

A/N: This was originally written for an assignment for my Eng 102 class...I wanted to see if anyone there would understand my allusion to the HP world.
THIS IS DRACO/GINNY. Draco is Ice and Ginny is Fire. The whole bit at the beginning about Night/Dark and Lightning is referring to the war. Words like Fire, Ice, Icicle, Lightning, Dark, Night, Flame that are capitalized are representing a character. NONE OF IT IS CANNON B/C THEY NEVER GET TOGETHER. But those of us who ship Fire and Ice will always have our dreams and fantasies of how they could have come together and this is my view of how they stop hating each other and find out they are perfect for each other.
