Legendary Love

'God's he's beautiful. I can't stand it. He isn't the same anymore. The spark is gone from his eyes.
No longer do those emerald orbs possess that wide-eyed wonder that captivated me for so many years.'
My lip curls in a sneer worthy of Lucius.
Someone has robbed him of his freedom.
His freedom to choose his own path in life, the freedom to be able to be with the one he loves,
but most of all they robbed him of his innocence.
I see him laugh at something that stupid know-it-all said. The laugh doesn't reach his soul.
'I know that laugh. The unjoyful laugh of someone that doesn't care anymore.
I've heard that laugh before, in my Slytherin dorms. That laugh heralds the end of an empty life.
The sound is almost alive, crying out for someone to care, to help them, to give them a reason to live. Pathetic.'
He sets his drink on the table and kisses his friends on the cheek, wiping his tears on his sleeve.
Everyone is crying, thanking him. Saying the wizarding world owes him a debt.
No one says what he really is.
Murderer. Vigilante. Mercenary. It all means the same.
Killer
In having him destroy the Dark Lord they have created his successor.
Without that inner light, that child-like innocence, Harry will die.
I know this.
He know this.
That is why he cried while he said goodbye. He knows he shall die tonight.
I follow him through the castle, shadowing him. He's going to the Astronomy Tower.
Someone will most likely already be there. Lovers having a midnight tryst.
I'm right but he doesn't care. He orders the out. Tells them to leave.
They do.
Now it's just him and I.
He walks to the edge and looks out over the grounds of the only home he has ever known.
Without turning he speaks to me, "If I asked you to kill me," he paused turning his head toward me,
his tears are like diamonds pouring out of his eyes, "would you?"
I smile without joy. "You know that I would do anything for you."
He leans back against the stone ledge, his life-less green eyes boaring straight into my soul, reading my sins.
"Anything?" he asked me. I simply nod. He continued, "If I asked you to kill me would you die as well? Or would you live on?
Would you only remember me once every so often? Would you live for our love, or die for it?"
I walked up to him and grabbed his hand, placing a kiss in the center. "I could never forget you, Harry.
But I could never live without you there with me every day,
telling me to stop scowling at the Gryffindors, and to stop giving them detentions with Filch.
You keep me balanced. If you die, I die with you."
We were both holding each other, tears in our eyes, ready to face our mortality.
He raised his face from my robes, "Let's do it together okay?" He kisses me one last time, his lips soft and salty from his tears.
We laid down on our sides, Harry tucked into my chest.
"Ready?" I asked.
"Ready."
"On three. 1... 2... 3--"
"AVADA KEDAVRA!" We said in unison, voices overlapping, our arms falling limply.
Harry's arm fell between our chests, mine around his back, cradling him as if in sleep.
That is how they found us the next morning, looking like fallen angels.
Gabriel and Lucifer, cast out of heaven. Exact opposties. Light and dark. Yin and Yang.
They placed us in the same tomb, in the same casket curled together just like we were when we died,
holding each other close so we could never lose each other again.

No one outside of our immediate family was told the truth.
No one notived that although the official report stated that we killed each other,
we were buried together, and most of all no one noticed that we wore rings engraved with a message for all to see:

Draco & Harry Malfoy
