Note; This fic is written to be accompanied by the song 'River Flows in You' By Yiruma. Link to listen to it online is; .com/searchbeta/tracks#river%20flows%20in%20you please listen to it. It's a beautiful piece of music and it'll make the song easier to understand.
We used to sit by the river in the summer, having picnics and talking, running and playing through the long grass and reeds that decorated the banks. I remember how the sun caused the water's surface to glitter like a thousand crystals were ebbing and flowing among the tiny fishes that darted along the currents.
The blossoms swirled in the cool breeze around us and some got caught in your hair, the subtle baby pink petals lay among the blades of grass, each a small fragment of natural beauty that could no way match your perfection.
You used to kiss me softly by that river and whisper things into my ear as I dozed in the afternoon sunshine, eyes half open, humming peacefully in content. You're truths and secrets carried on the wind and sounded like the wing beats of a newborn butterfly.
You'd sing to me too, a song with no words but one that always sent shivers down my spine, it sounded so beautiful, possibly more so as it was sung from your lips, the lips i loved so much to feel on mine.
You took me home once, while your parents were away and you sat me at your piano, you were the rich only child and of course had a grand piano sitting beautifully in the middle of a large oak panelled room, the room had floor to ceiling windows letting in the golden sunlight, highlighting the dust mites as they flittered playfully in the beam of light. It sounded so wonderful as you sat and played our song. I watched in awe as your fingers danced over the keys and I felt happiness pool in my stomach every time you looked up at me with your love filled eyes.
I could never describe the emotions the intricate melody made me feel but I new it described what we had perfectly. It was a song for love, for true love. But after you finished it always left me feeling sad, was I craving more of its bittersweet perfection? Or was my subconscious telling me our summer was too good to be true? For when it ended I would be returning to Hogwarts to fight for the light and you, my love would return to the forces of dark and offer your servitude to the one I had to kill. God was so cruel to us to let us have something so beautiful, so indescribable, but to not let us have it forever.
But even though it did not last I will cherish those moments for the rest of my life. Even though by the end of that God for saken war we never saw each other again the memories of those moments will live on through us and they will never ever die. And even though they filled that river in years ago and destroyed the grass and the reeds and killed the fish. It will never ever stop flowing, because my darling, the river flows in you.
