Drabble Ten - In Reality
"And the prince awoke the sleeping maiden with a kiss. The next day they were married and the whole kingdom rejoiced… and they all lived happily ever after, the end," Draco finished in a whisper, gazing at the tiny blonde-haired girl who's eyelids had finally fluttered closed.
As he quietly shut the old book of Muggle fairytales he glanced at a photograph on his daughter's bedside cabinet. Taking it in his hands he traced his thumb over the waving woman's face and smiled slightly.
The Slytherin put the picture back in its place and noticed that the little girl was awake again, and looking at him sleepily with chocolate-brown eyes. Draco brushed the curls away from her forehead and kissed it gently.
"But real love stories never have endings," he murmured.
Draco closed the door behind him silently and made his way back along the passageway to the room he slept in alone, to prepare himself for another day without his wife, the princess who was victim to a slumber he could never wake her from.
One day they would be together, he knew. And until then he would live for his daughter.
