I'm here Draco

Truce?

Harry POV

~Great Hall~

I was eating breakfast while talking to my friends until I saw Malfoy not eating again.

He looks like he's been crying all night. 

I can't stand seeing him like this.

I heard that his mom is at the ministry of magic trying to clear their family's innocence. It must be really hard for him.

~Defense against the dark arts class~

Professor Gladys Lynch is actually a pretty cool teacher. He said that he was impressed for how we were able to defeat the dark lord. 

He then teached us some new spells and then told us to take notes. 

While we were writing I passed a note to Malfoy that said:

Meet me at the room of requirement during free period.

Malfoy read it, gave me a nod and then continued writing. 

~Time Skip To Free Period~

I told my friends that I needed a book from the library for the next lesson so I can talk to Malfoy.

Once I entered the Room of Requirement Malfoy was already there. 

"Malfoy" Malfoy turned his head looking at me. "Pottah" I saw that coming.

"Why weren't you eating"

"I was eating"

"Barely"

"I didn't feel hungry and also why do you care?!"

I didn't answer truthfully because it would technically be a love confession.

"Because even though we hate each other that doesn't mean I don't care about you!"

His eyes widened. 

"And also I noticed your wrist" I said walking over to him. I grabbed his hand and showed him his wrist. 

Malfoy had a scared look on his face. He looked down trying to hold back tears.

"Malfoy are you cutting yourself?"

"I-i" he started shaking. "You do don't you?" 

I let go of his wrist and I pulled him into a hug. "It's okay to cry I won't judge".

Tears went down his cheeks which made me hug him tighter. 

I want to help what Malfoy is going through. Even though we hated each other for a long time I want to see him happy. 

I put two fingers under his chin and brought his gaze to me. 

"Malfoy do you want to have a truce?"

"W-what?"

"I think this whole rivalry has gone far enough"

"I-I don't know"

"It's okay you can give me your answer later I won't rush you. Now I think it's best we go to class if we don't want to be late."

Draco dried his tears and we went out of the room of requirement, walking to our classes.
