A/N: I wrote this at half two in the morning. Inspired by the Snow Patrol album I was listening to.

Chapter 1 – Chasing Cars

In the end it had just been them. The two of them, standing alone against the Dark Lord and his followers. Just them and no-one else, surrounded by the bodies of Death Eaters and the horrid sense of death.

We'll do it all

Everything

On our own

They stood there, side by side, the Golden boy and the Death Eater's son, raised their wands as one and shouted the final curse together. I had seemed right. The dark and the light, bringing down the last of the wizarding world's troubles. Complete opposites, blonde hair, porcelain skin, messy black mop and tanned, like yin and yang.

We don't need

Anything

Or anyone

The wizarding world seemed reluctant to remember that it wasn't just Harry at the last battle and, despite the Golden boy's best efforts, Draco had been pushed aside, an unwanted memory of a group of people that should never have been allowed to live.

If I lay here

If I just lay here

Would you lie with me

And just forget the world?

Draco shifted slightly as a cold wind swept round the Quidditch stadium and an owl hooted somewhere in the direction of the forbidden forest. The stars glittered silently overhead and, to Draco, lying there on his back in the middle of the Quidditch pitch gazing up at the sparkling constellations was as close to perfect as he was going to get.

There was a small thump to his right as someone lay down on the grass beside him. Glancing towards the source of the noise Draco saw the distinctive hair of his new best friend, the boy's glasses reflecting the heavens.

I don't quite know

How to say

How I feel

Draco felt a surge of happiness in the bottom of his stomach at the sight of his ever-so-secret crush. Pushing the feeling away he spoke in his calmest voice.

"Hello, Harry. What brings you out this fine evening?"

"Looking for you," said Harry simply "I knew you'd be out here. You're always out here."

"You know me too well," Draco joked, allowing himself to smile and slipping an arm round Harry's shoulders.

Those three words

Are said too much

They're not enough

They lay in companionable silence, squished together, trying to fight the cold, shivering against the wind. Draco felt a lovely warm feeling o warmth pool in the bottom of his stomach when Harry shifted and lay his palm on top of Draco's chest.

Abruptly Harry sat up, rummaging in a pocket and pulling out his wand and something else.

"Dray, have a look at this," Harry commanded, lighting the tip of his wand and holding out a photograph for Draco to view.

Forget what we're told

Before we get too old

Show me a garden that's bursting into life

The picture was of a small cottage in the middle of nowhere. The garden that surrounded it was a riot of colour and Draco could see more flowers about to bloom.

"It's lovely," said Draco, handing back the photo and feeling a pang of jealousy at the idea of Harry's sharing the cottage with some girl.

"Ron and Hermione want me to stay in London but I just need to get away and this place is perfect. As soon as this year's over I'm moving in.

"I'm glad to see you're organised. I was going to offer you a room at the Manor but obviously…" Draco trailed off, thinking how great it would have been to have Harry stay with him.

"That would have been nice," said Harry, unintentionally echoing Draco's thoughts.

I need your grace

To remind me

To find my own

They returned to their silence, Harry gazing up at the stars, Draco watching Harry out of the corner f his eye. There's something about him, Draco had long ago decided, something so perfect, that makes you want to be perfect to. Deciding that now was the perfect point to figure out what it was, Draco began to scrutinize Harry's face.

If I lay here

If I just lay here

Would you lie with me

And just forget the world?

Suddenly Harry turned and silvery grey locked with emerald green. They stared at each other for a few moments as though trying to see past each other's eyes and into their souls. They leant forward as one, tentatively pressing their lips together, never once looking away from each others eyes.

All that I am

All that I ever was

Is here in your perfect eyes

They're all I can see

Gently they pulled away, still examining each other silently. Harry made the much needed snap decision. Rolling over so he was lying on top of Draco he proceeded to kiss him passionately and urgently, trying desperately to show how he felt. Draco rested his hands on Harry's shoulders, pulling him deeper into the kiss, wrapping his legs around Harry's.

I don't know where

Confused about how as well

Just know that theses days will never change for us at all

They broke apart gasping for breath. When his breathing rate had returned to normal, Harry smiled shyly at Draco before resting his head on Draco's shoulder and snuggling into his embrace.

"Stay with me? Always?" Harry asked tentatively, stroking Draco's hair absentmindedly.

Draco nodded "If you'll stay with me."

If I lay here

If I just lay here

Would you lie with me

And just forget the world?

OOOOOO

A/N: What did you think? If I get five (nice) reviews I'll post the next chapter. :D
