A Moment

"Alohomora", they whispered sneaking into the muggle house. Their white masksseemed to glowin the moonlight. Their dark black robes made the rest of their bodies invisible in the darkness. Their hoods covered most of their head. Who were they? Why were they trying to sneak around the quite peaceful neighborhood?They were death eaters and Draco Malfoy was with them. He was not a death eater yet. He was being allowed to see what it was like to be one.

He had been very excited. He took any chance that he could, to be like his father. His role model.

Well it seemed like yesterday
When the world was looking dark
It felt so cold and gray
And why the hell am I even here
What's the purpose, all I feel is guilt and hate and fear

They walked into the house and started torturing the muggles that were inside. Once they were dead what did the death eaters do? They just laughed. They didn't care about any destruction. Draco ran from the house, their cackling still ringing in his ears. That night would haunt him forever.

His father wasn't such a role model anymore.


Ah ha… yeah, yeah, yeah... oh ooh ooh

He came back to school, a new person. He talked to absolutely no one. Never. He never said the word mudblood and he would hex anyone who did. His teachers were worried about his silence. No one understood why he was silent. Maybe he didn't understand either. He didn't realize that to find the answer all he had to do is look deep down inside himself. Deep down inside was the answer. Deep down inside he knew he was guilty. Guilty that he had lived his life so wrong. He felt screwed up and he didn't know what to do.


Til that day you came along
My heart was empty
Like the soul was missing from a song
And I thought I'd loved a few YEAH
No one ever made me feel
The way that you do
AND Hey little girl
Look what you do
Oh, I love you
Hey little girl, OH I love you

Some days he would wonder if he could ever make things seem right again. How could he do that? How could he make up for the things he had done wrong? His thoughts turned to whom he had hurt the most and that was Hermione Granger.

He found himself walking through the corridors one day. That's when he ran into her.

"Oh I am so sorry", he apologized speaking for the first time since school had started.

She stared at him in shock. She looked as though she was waiting for him to tell her it was a joke, a lie, a prank, anything but real. No laughs came, no insults, nothing.

They found themselves staring at each other. Realizing the mistakes they made. As if knowing that they both had changed and were ready to move on.


Well I know I'm not always right
And girl it breaks my heart
When I DONE have to see you cry
So many things I wanna say YEAH
Now I know that you're the reason
That I'm here today AND
Whenever you're here
Just stay near
We'll be alright, yeah alright
AND Hey little girl
Look what you do
Oh, I love you
Hey little girl
Look what you do, and you do
When all my love starts running thin
I got you my own Cailin
Hey little girl, OH I love you

They realized what they had done and they knew that they could change. If they only had the help of each other. Or maybe I should say if only they had each other.


AND I LOVE YOU, YEAH HIT ME

Their lips met in a kiss, a kiss to heal the pain. To make everything feel right if only for a moment. A soft gentle kiss to make everything seem as though nothing had happened. As though pain didn't exist. As though nothing mattered.


YEAH I'll be alright
hmmm But I, I need you close
Please stay tonight
As long as you're here
Just stay near
We'll be alright, yeah alright
AND, Hey little girl
Look what you do
Oh, I love you
Hey little girl
Look what you do, and you do
When all my love starts running thin
I got you my own Cailin
Hey little girl, who I love
Yeah little girl who I love
HEY little girl oh I love you

And in that moment only they did. Just them in their own little world. A world with no pain, no tears, no darkness. Just kisses. Just life. Some people would tell them that they shouldn't hide from reality, but what did reality hold for them? Wouldn't it be much better to pretend? Maybe just for a moment.
