Disreguard

The sky was grey, cloudy, and heavy. It was dark. It was damp. But mostly, it was forbidding.

But the rain pat, pat, pattered on, with disreguard for who was or wasn't listening, or who did or didn't care. The thunder rolled with disreguard for who could or couldn't be listening. And the lightening flashed with disreguard for what it did or didn't reveal. And it revealed so much...

It revealed two lovers, embraced, loving, caring, caressing, with as much disreguard for anything or anyone around them as the elements themselves.

"I love the rain." Soft words lost in the storm.

Disreguard II

Alone, soaked, and more than a little bitter, Harry sat at the edge of the lake, watching as Snape lovingly smoothed Hermione's dripping hair from her face. And although he wasn't close enough to see her clearly, he could imagine how flushed her face must have been from both Snape's ministrations and the cold rain. He'd known that she fancied him for quite some time, but certainly didn't think he would ever fancy her back. It figured the traitor would get the girl. Disreguarded and enraged, Harry trudeged back to the castle to the sound of thunder in the distance.
