Morning Theft

Morning Theft

My beautiful friend.

You were always that much to me, but when you became my gorgeous lover all those years ago, I almost died. In fact, I thought I'd died, I believe that everytime I'm near you, I'm in heaven. You are so beautiful and you bore me the most beautiful gift, a son, a beautiful son. Words cannot describe my love for you.

Our history may not have been so bright, but we eventually found our way to each other. You, the beautiful and studious Head Girl. Me, the attention seeking rich boy. You battered down every barrier that I had placed around me to hide you from me. Endless hours, I spent daydreaming about what a life with you by my side would be like. Now I know the reality. It's far better than a dream.

I must've been an illusion to you when you found out about the true me. Sure, I was a painful person to be around, but I still had my fun, my jests with my friends. They were a happy bunch back then, and still are now, but everything we did, all the trouble we caused, we had to hide it from you. After all, you were the Head Girl. You had to report it to Dumbledore the moment it happened. You almost got me expelled once.

I still remember the first night I discovered you. We were both popular, but never talked to each other. I guess I was a little too arrogant for your liking, but it was all an act. I thought you'd be there, at the ball, with everyone else. I didn't expect to walk into the entrance hall to find you in tears. Even when you were sad, you were still so beautiful. I comforted you and I saw your eyes for the very first time. So caring, so thoughtful, so much love hiding deep inside.

I took you back to that ball, all the while standing by your side. You were fragile, but you still had strength. They all stared as you admitted that it was me you liked. Nobody could fathom it, not even my friends, or yours. They all laughed, but fell silent the moment your lips touched mine. That kiss weakened me, forever. Eternally, I became yours.

I promised my life to you that night, and still, my heart belongs to you. I gave you my soul when I whispered 'I do'. Forever, we will be together, everyone knows that.

But still, silent waters run deep. I have my secrets, you have yours. I never intended to keep them from you, but I didn't want to hurt you. The past is a painful thing, and we promised that some things never needed to be repeated. You may have forgotten, but still I remember.

My father was a cruel man. You knew it, but you always told me that he was kind. He never approved of you, but you didn't care. You made me love you more when you stood up to him that night. Purebloods can mix with Muggle-borns, we've proven that, let's hope this barrier never comes between anyone, not just us, but anyone again...

I love you, I told the world, but so many did not believe me. Our love became hated by so many, but together, we knew we could conquer them all. There were no boundaries for us, but still, we chose to hide.

And now, we live, forgotten by the world of hatred outside, but loved by those that believed in us. Your friends, my friends, all that was good in the world.

But everything all that's good eventually turns sour. I know he comes, I can feel it deep down. Don't ask me why, but I guess he wants to crush all that we represent. My father never did like an amalgamation between Muggle-borns and Purebloods, but because he follows a much sinister power than we can possibly fathom, he'll find us and split us.

Forever isn't that long a time, my love. Eventually, the world will right itself once more. Who knows, it may even be our son that helps create this New World. At least everything will have meant something.

I always knew that I could look at you and see the world as it should be. I never meant to be the knife to your heart. I never intended to cut you, my love was just too strong.

I only hope you understand, my love. When morning comes, everything that you - and I - have known will have been stolen.

I can feel it. He comes to take it all away. Just remember that I loved you.

"Hermione," I whisper, my breath catching a stray strand of her hair, "I love you more than words can describe."

"I know, Draco, I know. Now, come to bed."

"Not yet my love. I have work to do."

"Lily," I scream motioning towards Harry's bedroom, "take Harry and go!"

You look at me in confusion, but I grab your hand and pull you to Harry's room.

"It's him! Go! Run!"

You seem reluctant, I can see it in your eyes. I kiss you briefly before you run into the room.

Turning, you resist and try to come back, I stop you.

"I'll hold him off-" I'm cut off as the front door is blown to pieces.

He's come. I only hope that I can hold him off for long enough for you to escape.

I mouth the words 'I love you', before I see him for the first time.

The thief is here, I knew he'd come. Please don't forget me, my love. I only hope I meant that much to you.
