"From Across the Room" by Bianca White
A/N: There is a sequel in the same format from Hermione's point of view. So it's in two (2) parts. And, as always, any comments (formally known as 'reviews' are appreciated! Positive or otherwise.
Disclaimer: Neither the Gryffindor Common Room, or the characters in it belong to me; I'm just borrowing them. But I do promise to return them in the same (if not better) condition that I found them in!
Across the room I see the face,
I long to kiss in her embrace.
But how should I get over there,
Firmly rooted in this chair?
Getting up I'm soon to look,
She adds the mark inside her book.
Why not that paper switch with me?
So her nice touch I'd surely see.
Then to the stairs in her quick gait.
But suddenly I cry out; "Wait!"
Stopping her, with my words,
Now has made my strong love surge.
"Hey, I need some help with this."
What direction should I aim my kiss?
"Take this book, look in here."
Why does she have to sit so near?
"3rd paragraph, line 22."
Does my desire in her run true?
Then I move to take her hand,
Just as she gets up to stand.
I rise to my above-her height.
My throat to steady takes my might.
"But what about Divination?
Potions, or Transfiguration?"
"Ron I need to go to bed!"
Then can I rest there by your head?
"But I don't want you to leave!"
As my hand lightly brushed her sleeve.
"OK I'll stay a moment more."
I look around - don't see the four.
We're alone here in the room.
But how exactly should I swoon?
We sit back down, her hand in mine,
I save this moment in my mind.
Our eyes lock with not to hear
As I press my lips upon her ear.
She responds with gentle touch.
I want her feel oh so much!
My cheek leans softly in her hand
And lips on mine soon did land.
Wrapping her up in my arms,
I strive to keep her safe from harm.
Breathing in her breath feels sweet,
And with her here I want to keep.
At three past one we vowed to stop,
Though to stay I'd rather opt.
But at the stairs our hands did part,
Left knowing of another's heart.
