Disclaimer: If they actually belonged to me, this wouldn't be fanfiction, now would it?
Warning: Drabble (sort of, it's 200 words). Slashy hints, because I'm like that. RLSB. Inspired by the song from The King and I – and sort of in response to a challenge.
Dedication: For Leighanne, who gave me the challenge. Thanks, hun!
I Have Dreamed
From the roof of Gryffindor Tower I see him, alone on the grounds, bathed in moonlight.
I shouldn't be here, it's not allowed, and rules are there for a reason… But I can't help it. I can watch him from here, no one will ever know. I can stare for as long as I like, no one will ever wonder. Up here, I'm safe.
I hide from the white beams I fear in the shadow of an overhang, but he bathes in their glow, black hair gilded silver, as if he is defying the moon in a way I never can.
In my dreams, he shouts at the heavens that he will protect me, that the moon will never have me again. He takes me in his arms and whispers words I long to hear.
As I watch, he turns towards the castle. His head tilts towards the Tower and I imagine his grey eyes have spotted me. But I am the werewolf, not he. He can't see so far.
He looks away and walks towards the entrance.
I look up at the heavens and think, Someday, we will stand in the light together and I won't be afraid anymore.
END
A/N: Erk. Not what I usually write, but that's life. 200 words exactly. Please review!
