Fic: A second
It’s all clumsiness and last minute doubts before giving into the frantic search of the other, the swinging of hips, the desperate need to make sure that this kiss is saying all they can’t say as they give into their bodies deepest need and soon they are both crying and rocking each other and they are tears of joy, of knowing they can devote themselves to a life together and that daring to contemplate the possibility of tomorrow is no longer wishful thinking.
He may not last more than a second but that sure is more than enough for now.
In what Harry will recall as just a second -though Ginny might beg to differ- they go from company to crowd, from couple to family. As Harry holds little James Potter in his arms, a perfect mix of his and Ginny, the realization that there is something much more greater than everything he has lived until now is so overpowering that he’s afraid he might burst with joy and crush that tiny life in his arms in the process. As she takes James in her arms Ginny smiles, for she knows this is the second time he’s given her life.
It just takes a glance, a knowing smile, a second and then all their lives come back in a powerful, heartwrenching rush, playing before their eyes. Of course it’s not over and memories are being made as the train parts from King Cross and Lily runs after it, waving and crying. The boys are going to Hogwarts, Harry’s hair is greying and where did these nineteen years go? Harry can’t get his mind around how everything went by so quickly. They have been so happy together, still are. It still feels like sunlit days and pure bliss. All is well.

I fall
In your eyes
Your hair
Your sweet scent
I give myself
Happyily
Into your embrace
Unreserved
Whole
I am both offering
And sacrifice
Martyr
And hero
Harry
And yours
Me caigo
Rendido
En tus ojos
Tu pelo
Tu dulce perfume
Me entrego
Feliz
A tus brazos
Sin reservas
Entero
Soy ofrenda
Y sacrificio
Mártir
Y héroe
Harry
Y tuyo
