Harry gets lost in the warm press of bodies above him. When the chaos finally settles he opens his eyes and suddenly becomes aware that he’s laying flat on his back with Draco sitting on top of him, legs tangled together, and Harry's arms splayed above his head.

“Oh,” Harry gasps, chest still heaving from laughter.

“Looks like you fell first if you’re underneath me,” Draco says smugly, his face very close to Harry’s. His breath smells bitter like alcohol and sweet like syrup. Harry finds himself acutely aware that it would take only a little movement to brush his lips across Draco’s mouth.  

Harry meets Draco’s eyes and sees his realization reflected there. They stare at each other and the air feels static around them. Harry thinks he could change everything if he leaned up and let their lips brush right now, where his friends could see them, where Draco might realize that he’s not something that Harry wants to hide.

For Reasons Unseen

Ron asked her who she meant when she said there was someone else and she found she couldn’t tell him. 

She could feel the  name on the tip of her tongue, on the edge of her lips. Two syllables pouring through her blood stream, pounding on a loop tied to the beat of her heart. 

“It doesn’t matter,” she told him, flicking her fingers in a dismissive swipe of her hand. “Nothing’s ever going to come of it anyways.”

Ron watched her, his cheeks pale in the firelight, his lips pressed together in a firm like. 

When he got up and left without a word it felt like the aftermath of an earthquake, when everything is strange and silent and the ground  beneath your feet has shifted forever.
