Loving Harry

"I wasn't planning on this. Falling in love with you was the last thing I wanted. Because I know our time would have to come to end. Yet, here I am, begging you not to turn the page."

Paul's quiet words carried over the stark white room but he received no answer. He wasn't expecting one . It has been weeks since Harry had been admitted to the Hospital Wing. It seemed that his extraordinary power extended to even defying death from the most powerful and potent of poisons. The Healers said that he had entered in a magical coma and there was no telling when he would wake up.

He carded his hands through the soft charcoal black locks. His blue eyes stared at the pale skin, the sunken cheeks. He looked so frail, lying on the bed. He missed his laughs, his mischiefs...

"It's January 13th today," he carried on, breaking the imposing silence, "They say that Friday 13th has strange magical powers. Maybe, this would give your magical core the boost to wake-up. But even if you don't, I'll be here waiting for you."

"Tergeo," he cleaned the pillow before setting it back for Harry. He placed the white lilies on the table by his side. He had come every day to sit by his bedside. At first, his friends had protested but when he explained everything to them and Professor Dumbledore, they relented. It was his penance – to see Harry suffering for his sins.

"I miss you, you know. I know it's so silly of me to expect you to love me back but I guess I'm kind of selfish. I always was. I love you. I may be selfish, weak, arrogant but I do, I really do."

He bent over Harry's unmoving body and kissed him. And the red chapped lips kissed him back.
