His fingers were tracing light patterns over her skin. She let her eyes drift shut, revelling in the feeling of his body on hers as she laid in his embrace. The air smelled of spice, sweat and the calm after a storm, damp ground underfoot, the air still sparked with electricity.

How long she lay there with him, watching her worship the moon, his goddess she never knew. He was passion, an inferno and when she felt his heartbeat turn primal, heard her name fall from his lips she finally understood how love was born – from starlit electricity and spice.

Time would fade to non-existence as they lay in a meadow of snow drops and autumn leaves, silence broken only by their murmured declarations of forever. Then he would press his body against hers and –

"Miss Lovegood!"
