Dreams and life…

Why did he choose me? He can have everyone… Why me?

He's so beautiful. Long blond hair shines in sun and moonlight. Bright blue eyes sparkle when he laughs. Long lean fingers. Well trained body.

But me… Black hair that just won't fall right. Black eyes with nothing in… I know my body isn't looking well either. My skin is as pale as death… Okay, no excuse, yours also. But my dark hair points it out even more… I almost never smile. Except at night. When no one sees me. When I can think of you…

I turn around, pulling the covers over me. Don't think anymore. Sleep. I'm tired to death.

Beside, I know I can take the pain if he lets me fall. I can shield myself. No one can really hurt me anymore…

I wake up in the middle of the night. Like always the last month.

I snuggle closer to you, smiling when I feel you wrap your arm around me. Placing a gentle kiss on my head.

You didn't let me fall. We're still together. And I still don't see why you've chosen me… But I don't question it anymore. I know that you'll never betray me, hurt me.

With a happy smile, I snuggle closer in your embrace, feeling your arms around me tightening.

I look at you. This is it… The Final Battle. There's nothing we can do now to change or stop this madness.

But we're ready. Waiting nervously for our signal.

Standing in our bedroom. Arms around each other. Holding one other close. Sharing gentle kisses.

And then we feel it. The Mark burns on our arms. One last heated kiss.

The graveyard is dark. Creepy…

Two sides. Dark versus Light.

After tonight it's going to be over. All over. And we'll be dead… or alive…

Harry and the Order are standing before us. The Aurors behind them.

The Dark Lord and the Boy Who Lived raise their wands at the same time. The Battle has begun…

Curses are flying around us. I've lost track of Lucius.

'He'll be okay. Come on, pull yourself together. Don't get killed. Fight!'

I close my eyes for a second before turning around and paralysing McNair.

Throwing of the mask, I see a flash of long blond hair and I smile. Safe…

I can hear the surprised, angry yells of the Death Eaters. I look aside right in time to see Bellatrix raise her wand to cast the killing curse at me. Luckily for me, I'm a Master at avoiding and dodging curses. I try to get up, but seeing her coming closer, I know this will be my end. I can never be fast enough to counter another spell again.

My eyes try to catch a last glimpse of my lover. I smile again when I find him. Standing proud.

I look at Bella again, not afraid to die anymore. Suddenly I see her eyes widen, her mouth opens in a silent scream.

She falls on the ground, and I see Draco behind her, lying down, wand risen.

I get up and kneel next to the boy. His legs are broken. A silent tear rolls down, yet his gaze is fierce.

And suddenly there's a flash of light. It's so bright we have to close our eyes.

When we can see again, all Death Eaters are lying flat on the ground and Voldemort has vanished.

That's it… He's gone, really gone. This Dark period is finally over. Harry has won.

I see him rush over to us. Holding Draco's hand, kissing his lover softly.

Standing up, I try to find mine… Yet I can't find him. A sudden panic overwhelms me, a piercing pain in my chest.

No, he can't have died… Not him…

A sudden warm hand on my shoulder. Familiar touch. I turn and throw myself at him. His arms holding me close against him.

"I thought I lost you…"

Silent tears are rolling down.

You kiss me softly, calming me.

I lean in into the gentle caress of your lips. And I know, know that finally everything is going to be alright…

&The End&
