Green and Black
by Alcina vom Steinsberg
K+ (PG)


Disclaimer: The Potterverse and its characters are intellectual property of J.K. Rowling. I'm just borrowing them for a short while and promise to give them back unharmed.

A/N: Another drabble-that-went-poem in English language. The style is rather experimental, I hope you like it!
Many thanks to Ellygator for helping me with my weird translation into English.


~*~*~

A gaze like fire. A gaze like ice.
Will fire melt ice? Will ice quench fire?

Green robes swish past black robes.
A sparkle on a spectacle lens, a glitter in an obsidian eye.
A feline hiss, a serpentine sizzle,
Snake meets cat.
A game?

Hands touch, reaching for the teapot.
Green advances, Black retreats,
Green pauses, Black stills.

Side by side at the quidditch match.
Black cheers first, but Green holds victory.
Afterwards, a mutual drink -
Was it rivalry or fun?

Late at night,
Black makes his rounds,
Green follows quietly,
whispers...

Morning sun sees them hand in hand.
