Little Do You Know

Draco's POV
Little do you know
How I'm breaking while you fall asleep
The nightmares are still there. Bleeding, bleeding, always bleeding. Waking up in a pool of blood and no one gets there fast enough. Dying, dying, always dying. Blood between my fingers, pain, pain, always pain.
Little do you know

I'm still haunted by the memories

One moment frozen in time. A word said. A spell thrown. Then the world explodes. The world covered in pain. And red. So much red.

Little do you know

I'm trying to pick myself up piece by piece

A line. Another. So, so many lines crisscrossing on my chest. I quickly put my shirt back on, disgusted by what I see. They still shine through the white fabric. So, so many lines.

Little do you know

I need a little more time

"Hey! Draco!" I freeze at the sound of Harry's voice. He can say all the words he wants, but I can only hear one.

Underneath it all I'm held captive by the hole inside

"Draco? Are you okay?"

"I'm fine, Blaise. Stop acting all concerned." No. I'm not. I'm not fine.

I've been holding back

For the fear that you might change your mind

Harry reached for my shoulder. I automatically checked for his wand, to find it in his pocket. What could he possibly want with me?

I'm ready to forgive you, but forgetting is a harder fight

"I'm so sorry, Draco. It was a brand new spell; I had no idea what it did. If I had known--"

"Harry." I interrupted his stuttering speech. "I forgive you." And I do. But I still check for his wand, relieved to find it in his pocket.

Little do you know

I need a little more time

"Draco, would you like to go for a butterbeer?"

"No, Harry. Thanks, though." Someday, Harry. Someday when I don't check for your wand every time I look at you.

Harry's POV

I'll wait, I'll wait

I love you like you've never felt the pain, I'll wait

"Hermione."

"Yes, Harry?"

"I want to apologize to Draco."

"You probably should wait until he stops jumping at his own shadow." Harry bit his lip.

"All right."

I promise, you don't have to be afraid, I'll wait

Harry brushed against Draco's shoulder accidentally in the hall. He heard a small yelp as Draco jumped back, his eyes trained on Harry's back pocket.

"Draco wait!" but it was too late. Draco ran away, stealing glances at Harry. Harry sighed. Tomorrow, maybe.

Love is here, and here to stay

So lay your head on me

In Harry's dream, he rushed to Draco's side. He quickly took off his robes and put them under Draco's head, lifting it from the cold bathroom floor.

Little do you know

I know you're hurt while I'm sound asleep

Harry thought of Draco every night. Thinking about how he hurt him, how sorry he is. Thinking of how Draco must be doing right now.

Little do you know

All my mistakes are slowly drowning me

In Harry's dreams, he is the one in the bathroom. But Draco doesn't have the wand. Even in Harry's imagination, Draco would never do that. But Harry feels the blood. Running across his chest the same as Draco's.

Little do you know

I'm trying to make it better piece by piece

"I'm so sorry, Draco. It was a brand new spell; I had no idea what it did. If I had known--" I could never apologize enough, do enough. It would never be enough.

Little do you know

I, I love you 'til the sun dies

Draco. Why am I still thinking about Draco? Why can I do nothing but think about Draco?

Draco's POV

I'll wait, just wait

I love you like I've never felt the pain, just wait

I love you like I've never been afraid, just wait

Harry brushed my shoulder. I gave a small yelp and ran away, eyes trained on his wand. Why did my shoulder still tingle? Why could I never stop imagining that tiny touch?

Our love is here, and here to stay

So lay your head on me

"Draco, will you shut up and admit you love Potter already?"

"I do not!"

"Uh huh. Yeah. Sure."

Harry's POV

I'll wait (I'll wait), I'll wait (I'll wait)

I love you like you've never felt the pain, I'll wait (I'll wait)

I am in love with Draco Malfoy. Oh shoot. I am in love with Draco Malfoy. What do I do now?

I promise you don't have to be afraid, I'll wait

Love is here, and here to stay

So lay your head on me

"Draco, I... I love you," the words were said in a rush, to a very defensive Draco, who had finally managed to move his eyes away from Harry's back pocket.

Lay your head on me

So lay your head on me

"Harry..."

"Yes, Draco?"

'Cause little do you know

I love you 'til the sun dies

"I love you too."
