I'm Here With You - Drarry

I'm Here With You - Ch3 I Don't Hate You

It Has been a month or less since Harry had been in the Astronomy tower, he wasn't avoiding Draco, He was just not ready to see him in fact.

But this time he needed to be alone, he needed a time to think and a time to let a few tears out. After he found out the truth about Sirius Black and his parents he couldn't take it, how could Sirius Black murder his own friends let alone the fact that he was Harry's Godfather.

He let out the tears he held as he hugged his knees to his chest, at this point his tears became sobs.

--------

Draco came back to the Astronomy tower around two times but Harry was no where to be seen, he gave up at one point hoping that Harry wasn't ignoring him.

This time Draco had a feeling he needed to be there tonight, he hesitated at first but went anyways.

As he was almost there he heard someone sobbing and sniffling, he was unsure of who was there but he also had a slight clue.

As soon as he reached up, he saw Harry crying hugging his knees to his chest and shaking, Draco felt his heart break, He couldn't handle seeing Harry cry.

He sat down beside him and put a hand on his back, He felt Harry flinch at first, then look at him. As soon as he saw Harry's face he felt hurt again, Harry's eyes was filled with sadness and pain, his face wet with tears and his eyes swollen. As Harry was about to put his head down again, Draco took his chin and brought it up so he could look at him, Draco felt the butterflies in his stomach but decided to ignore it as it wasn't the time.

After a few seconds of Draco looking at Harry's eyes he felt the need to break the silence, "Are you okay?" He asked softly.

Harry scoffed. "Why would you care? You hate me." Draco's Heart broke, Harry's voice sounded hurt and vulnerable, it was soft and quiet, it was filled with so much pain. "I don't hate you, Potter, in fact I actually care about you, and if I did hate you, I wouldn't be here right now." Draco smiled at Harry softly as he was still cupping Harry's chin he took his free hand and wiped Harry's tears.

--------

Harry felt his heart beating fast, this side of Draco was knew to him, he felt the need to hug Draco but he was scared. He never felt this much pain before and he needed to let it out.

He looked at Draco eyes, practically getting lost in them, he then did the unexpected. He wrapped his arms around Draco's neck letting a few tears out.

He was shocked as he felt draco pull him onto his lap, Harry laid his head onto Draco's shoulder, almost blushing as he realized he was sitting on Draco's lap, his legs at the side of Draco's waist. He felt soothing arms wrapped around his waist, and a hand tracing circles on his back.

After a few minutes, Draco lifted Harry's head and cupped his cheek, wiping the tears. Then Draco decided to break the silence, "Potter, I know we're not friends but i can't shake the feeling of seeing you like this, so if i may ask, what happened, did anyone hurt you? I swear if someone did i will hex them and i-" Harry cut him off and chuckled a bit feeling more comfortable with Draco, and blushing a bit since he's still sitting on Draco's lap. "Draco, do you want to be friends?" Draco looked as if he was still processing what Harry said.

Harry waited for Draco's response in anticipation. Draco nodded then smiled softly at Harry, which Harry returned. "Of course." Draco said softly and pushed a hair that covered Harry's eyes a bit, causing Harry to blush more. "Can we m-meet tomorrow again? I feel like i need someone to tell about this, it's not like 'Mione and Ron doesn't know but still, I want to get this off my plate, I mean only if y-you're fine with it." Harry looked down causing Draco to bring his head up, holding his chin, "Of course, I would love to listen and spend time, especially if it's with you." Draco whispered into his ear causing his Face to flush a deep red.

--------

They both said their goodbyes and went their separate ways, both of them excited to meet each other.

The next morning Harry went to the library with Hermione and Ron, Ron was mostly whining while Hermione was dragging him. When they reached the library, Harry couldn't get rid of the events that occurred last night, he was hoping the time goes faster since he was rather excited to meet a certain Slytherin again, Harry remembered the part he sat on Draco's lap causing him to blush and smile, his thoughts was broken by Ron's fake cough and Hermione's curious gaze.

"Okay, what's happening to you?" Ron said quite eager to find out.

Harry thought for a moment then decided to share what happened with Draco, leaving out some parts, he started to explain. "Harry, that's amazing, see maybe he does like you, no no not maybe, I'm convinced he actually likes you." Hermione said proudly. Ron was wiggling his eyebrow causing Harry to roll his eyes at him. "Bloody hell mate, you sat on his lap!? And you didn't kiss!? Come on." Harry chuckled and shushed them. "No need to be so loud, plus im not going to just rush into it"

Hermione giggled and Ron was raising his eyebrows smiling, Ron sighed and spoke. "What if he kisses you? You know Harry I've seen this stuff in muggle stories Charlie reads, you should provoke him to make him kiss you." Harry jokingly glared at Ron, It's not like it's going to work, or would it, either way Harry didn't think of it like that yet.

"Harry's right I don't think he should rush into things yet but-" Hermione said exaggerating the 'but'. "But what?" Harry asked.

"Maybe provoking him and making him jealous would work." Hermione replied earning a gasp from Ron. "Who are you and what have you done with the real Hermione?!" Ron paused and spoke again. "But for once she's right Harry, you should make him jealous, that'll be funny." Harry sighed and giggled, the three of them just laughing and enjoying their time talking until someone broke their laughing session.

"Well, well, well, why isn't it the Golden trio. You seem to be having fun." Said a mocking voice non other than Pansy Parkinson and Draco Malfoy. "Now now Pansy, go fetch the book you need, Blaise is waiting, I'll follow you in a second." Draco said almost whispering.

Pansy nodded and left. Draco stared at the trio. "Why hello there, how was your day?" Draco said in a mocking and sarcastic voice.

Harry looked at Ron and noticed Ron had the same face that he makes when he has an idea. "Non of your business, Malfoy!" Ron spat out with mischief in his voice and turned to Harry and Hermione with a smirk. "Harry, let's just let Malfoy be and watch the Hufflepuffs practice quidditch, heard Cedric Diggory is there." Hermione looked confused at first then raised an eyebrow and nodded suspiciously. "Oh the same Cedric Diggory that was flirting with Harry?" Hermione finished with the same mischief in her voice, this caused Harry to blush but not because he liked Cedric, Harry found Cedric attractive, but Harry only likes him platonically.

He got confused at first then understood what they were doing. Ron and Hermione stood up. "We're going there first, Harry, we can see you still need to arrange some of your things." They stood up noticing that Draco had his fist clenched, his eyes looked mad, angry and furious, Ron smirked at Hermione before they left.

Harry started arranging his things well aware that Draco was still eyeing him. "Diggory? Do you like him?" Draco's voice sounded venomous, Harry looked at Draco noticing an expression he had never seen before, Draco looked like he was ready to kill, he looked strangely terrifying. Harry couldn't answer.

Harry couldn't comprehend what happened next. Draco pushed him against the shelf next to them, pinning both his hands above his head. Harry was trapped, there's no way he could remove his hands Draco was way taller and stronger than him. Draco leaned in and whispered in Harry's ear causing him to shiver. "Answer me when I'm asking you a question. Do you like Diggory or not?" Draco asked once again, voice filled with venom.

Harry couldn't answer with his words causing him to shake his head nervously. Draco removed one of his hand and used only one hand to grip and pin both Harry's hands above his head, Draco used his free hand gripped Harry's face harshly but not painful. "I don't think you understand, I want you to use your words, darling." Draco said his voice filled with coldness and dominance.

"N-no no, no i d-don't like him, not in that w-way atleast." Draco smirked and leaned in. "Good, and don't forget about tonight." Draco whispered in his ear, and let Harry go, before Harry could say anything he already left the library.

Harry couldn't move he was just standing there with a blushing face and his heart beating incredibly fast.
