It was a mistake. He was where he wasn't supposed to be.
The closet was dark. He wouldn't have recognised her had he not spent half of his life skulking in the darkness. She, on the other hand, was accustomed to the light.
He was hiding from the press and their thirst for news about his pardon while she... He didn't know until her lips were all he could feel. His body gave in to the temptation for a moment before he choked out a lame excuse (I have to go.).
He couldn't tell whether she caught a glimpse of blonde hair when he slipped out of the room or whether Weasley ever mentioned the lack of a Valentine's Day surprise from her part. He never asked. He could not stand the way she looked at him the next time they met, as though he was a stray kitten she took pity on.
He went home and destroyed the only physical proof of their encounter--her lipstick smear on his shirt (Scourfigy: twice, elf-clean: three times). Yet, everything kept circling in his head--the dash of rosy pink on white, the perfect shape of her lips and their softness pressing against his own.
Now, he's forced it all to circle at the bottom of a grim stone basin instead--one last time before being buried in the depth of his old trunk. He needs to let go because today she will walk down that fated aisle. And he won't be the one waiting at the end.
