and just forget the world

If it takes fighting a war for us to meet, it will have been worth it

Sometimes, Harry will lie on Draco’s chest and trace the curve of his dark mark, “Do you think it was all worth it? We wouldn’t be together without the war.”

His lover will stiffen and grip him a little tighter, thinking, Harry suspects, about fire and fear and showing up to covert rendezvous slashed open, spilling secrets from wounds Harry hadn’t been allowed to heal, and Crabbe, gone.

“Yes.”

It’s a lie. Harry has asked Draco this question dozens of times, and Draco always lies. But it’s ok; there will be other nights when Draco will lie on Harry, graze his fingertips across the zigzag on his forehead and ask the same question, and Harry will lie too.

If it had just been Crabbe, it wouldn’t have been worth it, and it wasn’t just Crabbe, it was a war. You can’t make meaning out of war. The worst thing in their lives will always be bigger than the best thing in their lives, and neither of them wants to think about that. Easier, just, to lie together.
