"Come On, Come Out"
Come on, come out
The weather is warm
Come on, come out
Said come on, come on
Harry smiled. They had been at school for a few weeks now and the student body had finally come to terms with the former rivals dating. Most had been as perceptive as Ron and Hermione and weren't surprised when the boys had gotten together but there had still been a few that didn't like it.
However, the day had been bright and sunny and Harry didn't care what anyone else thought. He had sent a note to Draco, telling him to meet him in the entrance hall before dinner.
Warm arms wrapped around Harry's waist and the warm breath of his boyfriend tickled the back of his neck. "You wanted to meet me?"
Turning around, Harry held up a basket, grabbed Draco's hand and pulled him out the door.
A spot in the shade
Where oranges fall
A spot in the shade
Away from it all
He had picked the perfect tree the day before and dragged the slightly confused boy over to it now. Opening the basket he pulled out a large blanket and spread it in the shade beneath the leaves of the large orange tree.
"I wanted to get away from the crowds and have some time for ourselves." Harry explained as he noticed Draco's raised eyebrows.
The magic picnic basket was connected to the Hogwarts kitchens and along the same lines as the menus they had during the Triwizard Tournament. You just had to tell it what you wanted and it would appear in the basket.
Harry quickly set up some sandwiches then pulled his boyfriend down beside him.
Watching the sky
Watching a painting coming to life
Shifting and shaping
Staying inside
It all goes it all goes by
As they observed the stars together, Draco rested his head on Harry's shoulder and wished to stay like that forever. He didn't care about the outside world anymore, he wanted to lock himself and Harry inside their own little world and stay there forever.
A blanket unfolds
A blanket tonight
The pieces of gold
They light up your eyes
Now we're alone
Now we're alive
Harry sat up, causing Draco to have to as well, and pushed back the corner of the picnic blanket and pulled out a small box he had hidden there when he had been setting up. Draco looked up at him, confused again, until Harry handed him the box.
Inside was a simple gold chain. Harry pulled it out of the box and smiled before clasping it around the blonds' neck. Draco leant forward and kissed him gently.
"Your eyes are so beautiful," Harry sighed and brushed back Draco's fringe, "I can see all the stars reflecting in them."
They were happy and glad to be alone.
Watching the sky
Watching the painting come to life
Shifting and shaping
Staying inside
It all goes it all goes it all goes by
Draco began to drift off. The stars began to dance and rain around him and he fell into the dream easily. A circle of glittering stars surrounded him then came together into a shiny gold frame. A portrait of a snake like man appeared in the frame. The man seemed to reach out to him, but then he realized that he was reaching for Harry.
Jerking awake, Draco saw the same snake-man standing near his feet. It seemed that no matter how much he wanted it to, life around him didn't stop.
Stopping the time
Rushing, waiting
Leave it behind
Shifting and shaping
Keep it inside
It all goes it all goes it all goes by
It all goes passing by
It all goes passing by
