What About Angels

17 Year Old Draco Malfoy was walking around his college campus, figuring himself out as he bumped into Harry Potter, his best friend since Primary School, "Hey you." "Hey Harry." "Is Everything Okay?" "Yeah, I need to speak to you." "Want to have a talk by the bathrooms?" "Sure." Draco walked with Harry to the bathrooms by the Printer and the tutor hub. Draco put his bag "Where do I start with this?" "Whatever you need to say, get it out." "So remember when we were walking home together?" "Yeah?" "And I mentioned something about me thinking I may be gay." Harry nodded, "Harry, I am." "So you're gay like me? What else do you need to say?" "I like you, like really like you." "Draco, are you being serious?" He nodded. Harry walked up to him, standing in front of him.

Draco looked at him, "Come with me outside." Draco picked his bag up, putting it on his bag, walking outside with Harry. Draco sat on the wall with Harry. "Okay, so the reason I told you to come outside as I don't want to do this with cameras everywhere." Harry walked over to him, putting his bag down. Harry walked up to him, bending down to sit in front of him. He took his jacket off, sitting on his jacket, "Look at me, please." Draco looked at Harry. Harry leaned forward, "What are you doing?" "Since you told me you like me, well, there is no better time to do this." Harry leaned in and kissed his mouth softly, and he kissed him back on the mouth. Harry pulled away, "Y-You k-kissed me." "I did, why do you seem so stunned about me kissing you?" "I wasn't expecting it." "It's fine, was it your first kiss?" Draco looked away, blushing. Harry cupped his face "Am I your first kiss? You can tell me?" He nodded "Aww, it's okay, there's no need to get all shy. It's alright." Harry kissed his forehead, holding out his hand.

Draco got up, putting his bag on, grabbing his hand, "I want to ask you a question?" "Sure, go ahead." "Will you be my boyfriend?" Draco nodded with a smile, and wrapped his arms around Harry. Harry hugged him back. Harry held him tight, and rested his head on his head. They pulled back, "What class do you have now?" Draco heard his phone ping and saw a message from his mum 'Call me please.' Draco walked away from Harry, "Give me a minute." "Alright." Draco called Narcissa, as she picked up "Draco?" "Mum." "Why haven't you been to class?" "I did go to class but I walked out of class." "Why? What happened baby?" "Caroline was giving me a mouthful and she's always screaming at me, mum, so I might be getting suspended for a week." "Okay, honey. I'm on my way down, you're doing so well, baby. I'm on my way. Is anyone with you?" "Harry is," "Okay, stay with Harry until I get to the college, and I'll take you home." "Thank you mum," "No problem, sweetheart." Draco hung up the phone.

Draco walked up to Harry, putting his bag down, walking up to the brick wall, balling his fists up. Harry rushed up to him while he was scraping his knuckles against the wall. Harry pulled him back as he burst into sobs. Harry held him tight, and stroked the back of his head softly "Shh, it's alright. You're safe. You're with me." Harry sat down on the wall with Draco who was still crying. "Alright, listen to me. I know it's hard but please listen, year 12 can be tricky but you just need to push through it even though it's going to be hard." "It's really hard, I'm only in the first two months and I hate it." "I know." Harry held him until he began to calm down.

5 minutes later, Narcissa pulled up outside of the college and walked up to her son, and pulled him into her arms as he continued to cry in her arms, "Mummy's here now," Draco walked over to Harry, getting his bag, putting it on. Harry walked him over to the car, "Come here." Harry held out his arms as Draco hugged him. Harry wrapped his arms around him. Draco rest his head on his chest "I won't be able to come in tomorrow morning as I've got a CAMHS session at nine." "Have you let the college know?" "Yeah." "Alright, that's good." Draco nodded, pulling away.

He walked to the car, getting in the front after taking his bag off, sitting down, buckling in the car. He got his phone out of his jacket pocket, and called Harry. Harry answered while walking in the building of the college, "Hey, you on the way home?" "Yeah, sorry I wasn't feeling great." "It's fine." Draco looked ahead of the road, "My mum's going to email the college once we get home." "Alright." Narcissa turned to her son, and smiled. Draco smiled back, looking outside of the window. 

When they got home, Draco got out of the car with his bag, and walked up to the door as Narcissa unlocked it. Draco walked in, taking his shoes off "Tired, honey?" He nodded, "Your father's in a zoom meeting at the moment, so it's best if your a little quiet." Draco nodded, walking upstairs to his bedroom. He put his bag down, walking up to his bed, laying down after taking his jacket off. He walked downstairs to where his mum was "Is everything okay, sweetheart?" "Yeah, can I wear a pair of your pyjamas?" "Of course, my Chip and Dale ones?" "Yes please." Narcissa walked upstairs with Draco and got the pyjamas out, walking in her son's room, placing them on the bed. She closed the curtains, and walked out of the bedroom.

Draco got changed out of his jeans and jumper and into the pyjamas. When he was dressed, he walked in the bathroom, putting his clothes in the wash basket, walking downstairs, "Better?" "Yeah." Draco walked in the living room, "Do you want hot chocolate?" "Yes please." "What one?" "Salted Caramel please." "I'll bring it up to you, anything else?" "No thank you." Narcissa smiled as Draco walked upstairs to his bedroom, getting under his duvet. He grabbed his phone, and called Harry. Harry answered, "You home?" "Yeah." "You sound tired." "I am pretty tired." "Lie yourself down, I'll be here." Draco laid down in his bed "I should probably head to sleep." "Okay." "Okay." Draco repeated as he laughed afterwards, as Narcissa came in, putting his hot chocolate down on his bedside table, and saw how tired he was.

Narcissa sat on the bed and rubbed his arm slowly as his eyes started to close. Draco's phone slipped out of his hand and onto the bed. Narcissa let the call continue as Lucius came in his son's room, walking over to him, and kissed his head. Draco smiled in his sleep, and heard Harry talking before drifting off into a deeper sleep, holding his blanket in his sleep whilst he kept the smile on his face.
