This is their poem which Hermione breifly explains at the start of the first chapter. It's Suburban Lovers by Bruce Dawe, their relationship is not based on this poem and I didn't try to make it suit the poem but in some chapters I will make reference to it either by using a line from it which has a symbolic meaning or when either Hermione or Draco are talking about it. The poem is full of symbolic references which when I put them into the story I hope makes it more meaningful for you. Thank-you for reading this boring bit, I hope you love the poem as much as I do.
Suburban Lovers
Every morning they hold hands
on the fleet diesel that interprets them
like music on a roller-piano as they move
over rhythmic rails. Her thoughts lie
kitten-curled in his while the slats of living
racket past them, back-yards greying
with knowledge, embankments blazoned
with pig-face whose hardihood
be theirs, mantling with pugnacious flowers
stratas of clay, blank sandstone, sustaining them
against years' seepage, rain's intolerance.
Each evening they cross the line
while boom-gate's slender arms constain
the lines of waiting cars.
Stars now have flown up out of the east.
They halt at her gate. Next-door's children
scatter past, laughing. They smile. The moon,
calm as a seashore, raises its pale face.
Their hands dance in the breeze blowing
from a hundred perfumed gardens. On the cliff of kissing
they know this stillness come down upon them like a cone.
All day it has been suspended there, above their heads.
