CHAPTER EIGHTY-SIX godric's hollow
── •✧• ──
𝐃𝐀𝐊𝐎𝐓𝐀 𝐓𝐇𝐎𝐔𝐆𝐇𝐓 𝐒𝐇𝐄'𝐃 𝐋𝐈𝐊𝐄 𝐈𝐓 𝐁𝐄𝐓𝐓𝐄𝐑 without Ron, but the truth was, their group was incomplete. Yes the two couldn't stand each other, but they had been through so much together that his absence made everything feel. . .odd.
Aliyah was taking it the hardest. The two had been good friends ever since their mission in the Chamber of Secrets second year. After all this time, she couldn't believe that he would walk out on them like that. She knew it wasn't his fault – it was the Horcrux talking – but she couldn't help but resent him a little for leaving the way he did.
A song began to play on the radio that Ron had left behind – O Children. Aliyah saw a pale hand offered to her, and she found herself taking it. Lyra used the pad of her thumb to gently swipe away her tears before they began to dance.
Aliyah allowed herself to get lost in the music. As they danced, the music began to soothe her aching heart. Every step, every movement was a silent reassurance that they'd be able to get through this like every other obstacle that had been thrown at them. Aliyah leaned her head against Lyra's shoulder, feeling a wave of comfort wash over her.
After a few moments, they slowed to a halt, the song having come to an end. Aliyah found herself not wanting to let go, not wanting to break the soothing spell that the music and Lyra's presence had cast over her. As if reading her mind, Lyra's arms tightened around her waist the moment they stopped, one hand slowly running through her black curls.
Aliyah gently cupped Lyra's cheek, her thumb brushing across her freckles. She started to lean in a little but hesitated, her mocha eyes staring into the shorter girl's ocean ones, asking for consent.
Lyra's gaze flickered from the taller girl's eyes to her lips and back. There was a brief pause before she nodded, the word "yes" barely a whisper.
Aliyah closed the space between them. Their lips met in a gentle kiss, the world, the war, and the pain all melting away.
Dakota's eyes opened slightly from where she laid on her bed, pretending to be asleep. She smiled softly to herself before rolling over onto her side, her back facing them. It's about damn time.

"Hermione? You were right," Harry said as he walked across the large rocks to where Hermione and Dakota were seated looking through the book that Dumbledore had left the brunette. "Snitches have flesh memories, but I didn't catch the first Snitch with my hand. I almost swallowed it."
He handed the Golden Snitch to Hermione. She read the message that was now inscribed on the Snitch: I open at the close.
