Chapter 3:
Fall for You
He patiently waited for her to arrive and hoped that she did not forget. On the near-end of the lake, she stood; her features clear under the moonlight.
"I never really thought of it this way…" She smiled, walking towards him.
"You look wonderful," He said. Slowly, the music went on a slower pace. He took her hands into his and danced simultaneously with everybody else… only, they were somewhere else.
"After all this time…
I never thought we'd be here…
I never thought we'd be here…
When my love for you was blind…"
"Harry," she whispered before he brought his lips unto hers. Swaying with the melody, hearts beating as one, the snow covered ground served as their dance floor. Everything seemed so perfect… so unbelievable. They both did not care how many people would see… It was too real to be kept, yet too risky to be spoken of.
"But I couldn't make you see it…
I couldn't make you see it...
That I love you more than you'll ever know…"
"Just between you and me?" She asked.
He just smiled. The music came to an end and he still was not letting go of her hands. She laughed sweetly and leaned on him. He started singing, "So breathe in so deep, breathe me in… I'm yours to keep. And hold on to your words and remember me tonight when you're asleep… Because tonight will be the night that I would fall for you… over again…"
Sweet smiles, sweet kisses, unending melodies, meaningful words… a perfect night.
Unlike most of the fairytales, they did not live happily ever after. Lucius head from Draco about Harry and Pansy's relationship. With the fear of losing the heir of Parkinson, Lucius announced Draco's engagement with Pansy a few weeks before graduation.
And yet, despite the unhappy ending, Harry and Pansy shared the happiness that no other fairytale princess could feel. They still won the battle; they just did not claim their victory.
