"So you really told them? And they were fine?" Draco asked Harry who was lying in his arms out by the Whomping Willow tree, it was mid October and a light breeze blew by. Harry was freezing in Draco's arms.

"Pretty much, I mean Ron was a bit upset but he will move on. The important thing is my two best friends don't hate me, or you." Harry was relieved, he could finally be himself.

Draco didn't say anything, he was happy for Harry. A huge part of him wished his friends could be as accepting as Harry's friends. They spent the next hour in each other's arms, talking about their potential futures together. It was around midnight and the two were lost in deep conversation. Neither of them cared if they got caught, they soaked in every moment together they could get.

"Where do you see us after we finish school Draco?" Harry asked.

"I don't know, somewhere far away from my mother and father. Where we can be openly happy about us." Draco confessed, talking about the future made him nervous.

Harry didn't want to leave his friends, he had already planned his future post Draco. Now that he was apart of his life, he had to re think everything.

"You would really want to leave? There's no chance your family would accept us?" Harry asked, even though he already knew the answer.

"You know my father, if there's anything he hates more than muggles its..." Draco had never said that word out loud. He never had considered him and Harry to be gay, just in love.

"I know." Harry sighed. "I'll be happy anywhere with you Draco, honestly."

Harry didn't want to talk about their future anymore, it made them both upset. He wanted to ask Draco what he was hiding from him earlier that day in the bathrooms.

"Draco." Harry's voice was low, he was nervous. "Please tell me the truth about what Snape said, what is The Dark Lord making you do?"

"Harry, I couldn't tell you. I want to, but I just can't." Draco confessed, he hated lying to Harry.

"If you love me Draco, please. Im worried for you." Harry's voice was edgy.

"If I tell you, I know you'll hate me. I just know it." Draco said while shifting to face Harry.

"Try me." Harry spoke softly. "Whatever it is, we can make it through it." He swallowed, waiting for Draco's response.

Draco sighed and looked down. "Harry, I'm The Dark Lords right man right now. Even if I want to or not, I obviously don't. I have to do whatever he tells me to do Harry." Draco's heart started to beat fast, he didn't want to tell Harry he was ordered to kill Dumbledore.

"What's he telling you to do Draco?" Harry suddenly felt vulnerable. Was Draco only with him because Voldemort wanted him too? "Is that why your with me? Had he "ordered" you to be." Harry was angry, he just wanted Draco's honesty.

"No, of course not Harry. Why would you think that? The Dark Lord wants me to repair an old vanishing cabinet in the room of requirement.. I don't know why.. I assume to enter Hogwarts." He decided to not tell Harry the whole truth, the moment he would tell him about killing Dumbledore he would go running to him.

"Draco, that's bad. Like really bad. Your putting all of Hogwarts in danger if you don't tell Dumbledore. Draco, think about what your doing. Think of the lives you could save." Harry pleaded to Draco, he didn't know what else to say to him.

"You don't think I know this? You think I just woke up one morning with this on my arm." He pulled up his sleeve revealing The Dark Mark on his arm. Tears began to fall from his face. "Babe, I'm up to my neck in all of this. Im trying to keep The Dark Lord happy, im trying to be as honest as I can with you. I would never intentionally hurt anyone."

"But you are Draco, by not telling Dumbledore you are. He can help you, I can help you. I'm the one The Dark Lord wants, there has to be another way." Harry said while kneeling directly in front of Draco, he was wiping Draco's tears away.

"There's not, Harry. This is the only way." Draco whispered, he reached out to grab his face and pulled him in for a long kiss. He got up to crouch in front of Harry who was on his knees still. "We're always going to be on opposite sides Potter, whether we like it or not." Draco said before he walked away from Harry.
