( Epilogue )
Harry stared down at the sleeping man at his side. Long blond hair hung over a shoulder and splayed out about his head like a halo on their grass bedding. Harry played with a few pale strands, smiling as he watched Draco breath evenly, his face calm and relaxed. He leaned down and kissed him on the neck, letting his lips linger there. Draco shifted a little, then curled into himself with a sigh.
He trailed a fingertip down the side of Draco's face, before leaning away. He quietly got to his feet and walked across the room to the entrance. Harry looked over his shoulder, bit his lip and worried at it. A large part of him wanted to fell asleep next to Draco again, to curl up against him and to take in that smell that he so lost himself in. But another part needed to get out, to see the new day dawn over the fields and bring with it such promise.
The side of his mouth curled upwards. The way Draco slept would ensure that he could do both. Lazy sleepy-head, he thought fondly as he made his way out of their home.
The grass crunched under his feet as he walked up the side of the hill. Sometimes, when the he wanted to feel the world under his feet, he strayed from the paths and ran through the fields and forests, never stopping, always going.
Harry looked up, and up on the crest of the hill, he saw a silhouetted shape. As he came closer, he recognised Ginny's long red hair that fell all the way down her back. In the warm light of dawn, her hair seemed darker, more intense than before. Almost like the sun, Harry mused as he sat down beside her.
'Finally managed to drag yourself away from your lover-boy, eh?' she asked after a moment of silence. He looked up at her, to see her playful grin.
'It was awfully difficult.'
'I can imagine.'
Harry chuckled, bringing his knees closer to his chest. He watched as shades of red and orange stained the horizon, brushed the tops of the far-away clouds and stretched across the land below.
'Gin, where are we?'
She gave him a side-long glance, a small frown on her face. 'What are you talking about, Harry? We've always been here.'
'We have?'
Ginny bended down, cupped his cheek with a hand and kissed him on his forehead gently. When she leaned back, she gave him a brilliant smile and said, 'Of course, you silly.'
Harry looked out at world before him and smiled.
'Yeah, you're right.'
