so much for my
..........|harry potter; snape/lily; pg; He's beginning to think that the small ammount of space between what's wrong and what's right never really existed because there was nothing wrong and everything was right.


He's starting to think that it's not really about the happy ending.

.

The story starts like this:

Five years ago, they were laughing and kicking their shoes off in the sand and he was showing her what it was like to be a wizard and she was showing him what it was like to live. Five years ago, they were swaying back and forth, hair tangling, fingers collecting rust from the chains around the swing and the chains around their hearts.

He's beginning to think that the small ammount of space between what's wrong and what's right never really existed because there was nothing wrong and everything was right.

He wishes he could say the same for right about now.

She used to wish on dandelions and eyelashes and 11:11s and shooting stars. He used to wish on her, and though she never picks flowers, holds lashes, or stays up late enough to see anything indescribable anymore, he still does.

But fall happened and school happened and James Potter happened and happened and happened and happened. They fell apart, because they were never really meant to fall together.

He remembers standing on the top of the slide on the park and acting like the hero, saving the damsel in distress at the last second.

He wonders what happens when it's the hero that needs saving.

.

The story starts like this:

Five years ago, he was making the memories he'd live in for the rest of his life. Five years ago he was staring into her brilliant green eyes thinking what a great God there had to be to create something so flawless and beautiful in her. He never told anyone, but she converted him from atheism.

Always the Cinderella, he knew his fairytale life would end, but he never thought it would be so soon.

He might be a distressed miracle with sand in an hourglass, but he always thought she looked so much more like a princess than he.

.

He's starting to think that it's not really about the happy ending, but about the story in between.
