A lonely Christmas?

HarryDraco / Celebrating Christmas
Christmas… Only three more days until the snowy holiday. A time to spend with your loved one. A time for peace and relaxation…
And yet here he was. Surrounded by white walls. There was one window, for the four people present in the room. And he was lucky. His bed was right next to it. At least he could clearly watch the sun rise, could see a new day begin. Could see the sky darken, the moon appear and the night to arrive.
He sighed softly.
Perhaps it wasn’t such a good thing though, on second thought…
Seeing al the people outside walk by and forth, going on with their lives. Seeing life continuing normally, while for him, it was put on hold.
Shifting slightly he feels a sharp pain in his leg. It reminds him time and time again why he is here.
Closing his eyes he lays himself back down. It’s only nine PM. But who cares? What difference does it make to the world? Everybody seems to have forgotten anyway.
A war that has ended. The most fearsome wizard in history that has disappeared for the second time. Though this time there is no way of survival. No chance that he’ll come back a third time.
Everybody is out celebrating and he is stuck here. With three others who seem to have lost their minds.
For days they have been waiting. He has been waiting. And yet, no one came. Another night has come and he feels his heart break again.
So this is it? He means nothing to him? To him who has saved the world? Really nothing? What they had, it meant nothing?
He feels a tear escape his closed eyes. He hates this sign of weakness. However he doesn’t brush it away. He has no strength left to brush it away…
Turning his head. His face towards the window. A soft sob escapes his lips and he presses his eyes shut more firmly.
What was he doing? Crying over something as trivial as that… What has he been thinking to begin with anyway? That it could be done? That they had a chance to be together? That he had meant something, anything, to the ‘boy that lived’, now the ‘boy who saved the world’? Had he actually believed it?
“Are you crying?”
Surprised he turns around. Eyes at once wide open and he curses the pain that shoots through his body and his weakened metabolism that makes him see black spots.
Gentle fingers brush away the tears that have managed to escape still. A well known touch. A touch he has craved for.
The first thing he sees when he has recovered his temporarily lost sight, was his worried face. And the small yet honest smile that graced his lips. Lips he has longed to kiss again. lips he wants against his own.
His arms reach out. Wanting his arms to offer the hug he is asking for. Arms he wants to feel around him again. Arms that are willing to keep on holding him close and to never let go.
The smile on the other one’s face grows a little when he sees all the longing in his lover’s eyes.
Within a second Harry has set himself next to him on the bed, their arms finding their way around each other instinctively. It is a desperate grip from the one who is forced to stay in the bed.
“Don’t doubt me Dray… I’m sorry it took me so long to find you. No one would tell me. I’m sorry. But please, please, do not doubt me….”
The tears are streaming freely now. Not his fault. He wanted to. Not alone, still them.
A butterfly kiss against his neck makes him shiver. They both had suffered a lot during the war. Losing friends, getting hurt, seeing so much pain and fear around them. They had been scared. Terrified even. Yet they had kept on fighting. They kept on believing. They had kept hope when others lost it.
They had made it through the war alive. Yet not unhurt.
“Will you be home for Christmas?”
A laugh escapes his lips. Rough because of the tears.
“I’m not planning on spending Christmas with you in a hospital Harry. Allowed or not. We celebrate it at home…”
There is only one place that is home…
The End
Well here it is, at last... Hope you enjoyed it!!! ^^
