'I see a line of cars and they're all
painted black with flowers and my love,
both never to come back
I see people turn their heads and
quickly look away
Like a newborn baby,

No more will my green sea go turn
a deeper blue, I could not foresee
this thing happening to you
If I look hard enough
into the setting sun
My love will laugh with me,
before the morning comes

I see the girls walk by,
dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head
until my darkness goes
Black as night, black as coal
I wanna see the sun
blotted out from the sky'






CW: suggestive/ mildly sexual content towards the end of chapter, angst
apologies for this chapter having taken so long, i really struggled knowing where to go next as it's less canon-compliant.
from this point on updates should be a lot easier/ more frequent, thank you 🤍

"Is Christmas over, yet? It is New Year's after all, "

"Really?" Harry responded dryly, reaching for the rum and taking a small swig under Hera's watchful eye, "I thought it was still Indian Summer, "

"You'd wish so, " she argued, "Only a few more days before you go back to school... "

"Don't remind me, " he groaned.

"You can't hate it that much!" Hera said pensively, "You told me it was better this year. "

"Yeah, it is— "
