You and Me

Ten short drabbles that can relate to any couples, really. You know the challenge; put your iPod on shuffle and write whatever comes to you for the first ten songs. 'We don’t have to stay, we can learn to fly and spend the rest of our lives soaring'.

10. Total Eclipse Of The Heart

I wish to reiterate the fact that I am not JK Rowling and therefore I own nothing.

And please, people, is it that hard to leave review? I have had many hits but no reviews. It is very disheartening.

And I need you now tonight
And I need you more than ever
And if you'll only hold me tight
We'll be holding on forever

- Total Eclipse of the Heart, Bonnie Tyler

Dark days are coming. That's all you could tell me, and then came the war. And as I stand with you and your family in the Great Hall, creating a battle plan, I know that someone, one of us, will die tonight. Thousands of others will die also, my school mates, my enemies, and my closest friends. And I don't know what I can do if you die. I wish that you would reach out to me, assuring me that everything will be alright and that there is no way that you will ever leave me. But you can't do that because you would never lie to me.

I am nodding along to all of the decisions, only ever truly paying attention to you. I am breaking down inside and all I can think of is my need for you to hold me.

We go out to fight and when we all gather in the Hall to mourn for the lost hours later all I can do is break down in pain and cry for you; a part of me dying inside with every tear.
