I do not own any of these characters...not even a pony. What a cursed life I lead.
Count The Stars
It was three o'clock in the morning and Harry was in violation of school rules. He was headed directly to the forbidden forest and in the past weeks the forest's name held more meaning to Harry than he would have ever imagined. He didn't expect to fall in love, especially with the one who was waiting for him in the cold night air, but it had happened. Harry felt there was something wrong about it, but as he caught sight of his love in the distance, he knew that in the case wrong was right. His love's blonde hair caught the moonlight in such a way that a halo seemed to appear around his slicked back locks. Draco Malfoy would be the last person Harry had expected to envision a halo around but here he was, in the forbidden forest, with his forbidden love.
Harry soon caught up to Draco and was surprised to see that he did not seem to notice his arrival. Draco's head was upturned to the heavens with a look of silent peace resting lightly upon his cherubic face. Harry was hesitant to disrupt this scene of sheer beauty but he grew tired of being ignored and longed to rest in his lover's embrace. "Draco, I'm here" Harry said shyly. The blonde turned to face his scar-faced love. In a quiet but strong voice Draco replied, "I saw you in the distance. I think I've found a new way to spend time together." At this suggestion Harry grew scared, he wanted nothing more than to cry out his love for Draco from the highest of mountain tops but he knew if their affair were to be revealed the consequences would be dire. "You know we can't meet at any other time than this! I wish it could be another way but we just have to accept that our love is only meant to be shared in the dead of night. I'm sorry, but there is nothing else we can do" Harry said in a defeated tone. Soon after, Harry broke down and crashed to his knees in a fit of tears. He was joined by the one who cared most for him. "Harry, look up" Draco said as he pointed to the sky, "I was just thinking that maybe we should count the stars together." Harry looked up into the blackness of the night that was spotted with millions of brilliant orbs of glowing light. "There are too many, we'd be here forever" Harry said in a confused manner. As soon as Harry spoke those words Draco gently held onto Harry's hand and with a gentle smile that only a lover can wear, said "I know."
