A golden mist covered the flowing field outside my family cottage and there you were, among the wild flowers, waiting for the sun. I never knew the beauty of a summer's morn until you turned to look at me with those peridot eyes, glemming in the soft light. I considered calling out to you, to know your name, to hear you voice, to be acknowledge by you, but I feared to break that magical moment with sound. The first rays burst over the field and you turned your back to me. My heart broke with that simple gesture but I refused to let my despair overcome me. I walked barefoot in the wet grass, feeling the coolness between my toes even as the rising sun heated my face. I stopped just a few feet away from you, waiting for you as you had just waited for the sun. "Hello, young master Malfoy. Did you come to watch the birth of a new day as well?" His voice was soft and melodious. He did not turn away but I knew I at last had his attention. "I feel," I found myself saying, "that I am witness to a new life..." You then turned around completely, the sun shining around you as if you were a fallen angel, and when you smiled I knew at once that's exactly what you were. "Congratulations then, young master Malfoy, and welcome to your new life." tbc in: Of My Father...     Author's Note: Hiya, And welcome to my debut Harry Potter fic.
