Draco read the letter one more time, and folded it closed besides him after getting it stained with a few tears.

He was sat in the Astronomy Tower, where he used to sit, with her by his side, or even waiting for her to fill that place near him.

The colors of the night were already hitting Draco's pale face, the sky was cloudless, only the bright eternal, blue was displayed on the sky, with a blanket of white shining dots in it.

The Lake was so clear and quiet, that showed the reflection of all the infinite dark and shining blanket covering all the castle.

Draco tossed the letter aside, and placed the ring he bought on the top of it, the soft, silver star diamond shining with the hit of the moonlight.

Draco looked at his left side, a side that should been filled with her warm and small body, where she used to sit, every night, with him...the place was empty, and this time it wasn't because she would be late.

He imagined her, he imagined her looking up at the sky, laughing, he loved her laugh, he pictured her laughing while he mesmerized every inche of her skin, and stared at her elysian and captivating eyes, that soon became the light in his life.

A slight smile appeared on Draco's lips, along with a tear that fell from the corner of his eye, as I imagined her sat besides him, her soft hair fluttering in the calm wind, the stars reflecting on her shining emerald eyes, while she was amazed by the beauty of the sky, and he was amazed by the soft smile on her lips.

Her smile, oh her smile, all the things she did to him only by smiling, she was always smiling, always facing things with a smile on her face, fake or real.

He always saw her much stronger than he will ever be.

Draco then, pictured Lara looking from the sky to him, catching him staring, her smooth cheeks imediatly getting pink when she noticed that, but Draco's smile vanished as the vision he was having from seeing there faded away as he thought he would never see that look again.

He had screamed, he had cried, he had mourned, but nothing worked, everyday gets worse, everyday he has to wake up to an empty and cold pillow, everyday he has to wake up to people saying they're sorry for him.

No.

No, they're not sorry for him, they're sorry for her...nobody's ever been sorry for him.

Draco raised his head up to look at the sky again, and closed his eyes, he let his thoughts make some sense, think about everything that happened in this Tower, all those memories they made her, all of them.

He didn't cared that people told him that is normal to feel like this in the beginning, he knew he would feel like that until the rest of his days, which, the way he was being would be soon.

So he made the decision, and looked down at his lap, the tiny flask, spinning in his fingers as he examined it carefully, with a liquid inside of it that would instantly take him to his Starlight.

A sip, and all would be fixed, he didn't knew if he would see her after he drank the liquid, but he knew the pain would stop, or perhaps it would eventually kill him either ways, he never had felt so...dead.

He opened the flask, but just stared at it for a few moments, thinking of how she would hate him from doing what he was about to do, but he tried, he tried to hold on for her, but he has reached a point where he isn't even living anymore...not quite.

He took a sip.

It was a fraction of two seconds, painless, at least he thought it was painless he stopped feeling any other pain, he felt the last bit of strength in his body dissappear.

Everything went black before his upper body could hit the floor.

{☆~☆}

Draco's eyes started to open, he could feel his body against the cold floor, everything was still blurry in his eyes, but he caught a glimpse of the light of the sunrise rising.

He was still in the Astronomy Tower, but it wasn't cold, it was a comfortable and warm temperature, he felt odd, he didn't knew why was he still here, he had sure that litlle liquid would kill him.

Perhaps he hadn't drank enough, perhaps he took the wrong flask, but at the same time he didn't felt like he did before he had drank it.

His body was layed on the floor, and so he sat up, his vision was still blurry but he could see a figure standing in front of him, near the railing, back to him, so he rubbed his eyes, and opened them wide to see who it was.

"Lara?!" He said, his voice sounded desperate, and he stood up quickly from the floor.

The figure turned around to face him, and Draco saw her, smiling at him, the light from the sunrise reflecting on her eyes, her skin so smooth and shiny, for some seconds he thought he had gone insane, until she spoke.

"Draco..." She said, her voice as soft as a river water, as hypnotizing as he remembered, just like he remembered.

"Lara..." His voice came out in a cry, as he runned towards her and hugged her like he never did before.

She was real, it wasn't a ghost, she was really here, with him, holding him in her arms, while he cried all his tears.

The pain he felt, had vanished the mere moment she had touched him, the colors have been brought to him that moment, so real, so warm, so perfect.

He grabbed her face, and looked at her, checking if she was real, her touch was as warm and calming as he remembered, her eyes as romantic as it has always been, she was here, smiling up at him while he was in tears.

"Is this..." He cleared his throat, as he tried to calm down. "Is this real?" He asked, unsure of what was happening, if it was just an hallucination from his mind.

"It's real, Draco." Her voice came as a whisper, as she interlaced her fingers with his, slowly, so he could watch their hands connect.

"I'm sorry...Starlight...I'm so sorry..." He said, his voice shaking. "I'm so sorry for everything, my love." He said looking down at her eyes that were as bright as the sun.

"It's okay, Draco." She said softly, her voice was like a lost melody in his ears, it seemed it had been ages since he last heard it, saying those same words, so selcouth, so unbelievable.

"I bought you a ring." He said letting out a smile along with tears.

"I saw it." She smiled, but tears also fell from her mesmerizing eyes. "I've been watching you."

"I love you, I'm sorry I told you so litlle times, Starlight but..." He took a deep breath so the next few words wouldn't break. "I love you, I love you, I love you." He said softly, so clearly that she would understood he meant it.

"I know, Draco...there was no need for you to tell me, you always showed me." She said placing her own hands in his face, and all his heart pounded inside his chest, when he felt her own skin touching him again.

She took him to be standing on her right side, so both of them would be facing the sunrise, in the exact place they used to sat.

The sun was blooming in the horizon, spreading to the sky and eternal and soft orange, that reflected in the Lake, the light was stretching like golden petals to raise upon the hair, which meant the beginning of a new day.

Everything was so quiet and calm, the wind kissing his body, making her hair fly softly in the air, only the sound of the water running down and the birds announcing the start of a new day, and the sun looking like a flower blooming from far away set a warming feeling on his body.

The landscape, the sound, the wind, the sun...her, it was perfect.

"Sunrise..." Draco whispered to her.

"The start of new beginnings." She said softly.

For one time in his life, Draco had no worries, nothing to be stressing about, the constant thought that something bad could happen, the fear of hurting someone...for one time Draco felt free.

He turned to her, and his hand tilted her chin upwards where he could have a full vision of her magnificent features that belonged to him, and she could do the same, to watch his own face that belonged to her and only her.

He crashed both lips together, in the need to see if this was indeed real, is this was what heaven looked like, as perfect as he had imagined.

They tasted the same, like a spring flowers blooming sending a scent of calmness in his body everytime his mouth was on hers, so astonishing, so grateful as she has always been.

He felt a smile on her lips even though his eyes were closed, but as soon as he pulled back, his gaze focused on her eyes, her eyes that were widely shadows, so vivid and ancient, the color of hope, so eesome he remembers all the times he got lost in that universe.

"I love you, Lara." He whispered as his hands went to gently cup her cheeks.

"I love you, Draco." She whispered as her arms wrapped around his middle and they stared at each other, before her head layed on his chest, and both their gazes focused on the sunrise appearing at their eyes.

'She was his, and he was hers, now for eternity.'

A/N:

I can't believe it's already over, it seems like it was yesterday that this was just an idea in my head an now it's real.

I'm sorry for how this ended, but to be honest, this was probably the scene I was most anxious to write.

Btw I made a trailer for this fanfic, and if you want you can watch it, it's on the first chapter.

Started on April 16th, 2021, completed on July 5th, 2021

Thank you so, so much.

Lara :)
