The Stars Above Us

Lovesick

It was the next day and Draco had entered the college as Harry came downstairs from the library, and smiled, "How was CAMHS?" "It was alright." Harry held out his hand as Draco took his hand, lacing their fingers together. Draco looked at Harry, "Do you have class soon?" "I've got Performing Arts in 5 minutes." "Let me take you, F block, right?" "Yeah." The two walked through the college, holding hands. Draco walked outside with Harry. Harry walked up to the block, "I'll come and pick you up at 10:10." "Okay." Draco walked in, "I need to go to the toilet first," "Let's go then." The two walked into the building together.

Draco pushed open the door, and walked in with Harry. Draco handed Harry his bag, walking into a stall. Once he used the toilet, he walked out, pulling his sleeves up, washing his hands. He washed his hands and walked up to the hand dryer. He put his hands under the dryer, letting his hands dry. When his hands were dry, he picked up his bag from Harry. Draco pulled his sleeves down quickly, putting his bag on, and walked out of the bathroom, "Draco, you're really quiet, what's wrong?" "My mum sent me a message, she got a letter from the college, since my attendance is 79% as I forgot to mark my absences, I'm going to be suspended today." "What do you mean?" "I'm getting suspended for a week." "No, if you get suspended, afterwards you'll be expelled." "Are you serious?" "Yeah. Remember one of my friends, Anastasia, she got permanently excluded for her attendance." "Okay." Draco looked at Harry, as a member of Welfare and Safeguarding came up to the two boys.

Draco looked at Harry, "Draco, can we have a word please?" He nodded, walking back in the main building and into an empty classroom, where his mum and dad was waiting. "Mum, dad, good morning." Draco sat down in between his parents "Since you both know that Draco was put on report, and his attendance has not improved or the report does not look good. He's been walking out of lessons, skipping classes, swearing at his teachers. We've decided to go down the next route of behaviour." Narcissa grabbed her son's hand as he squeezed it, "And we have decided to Permanently exclude Draco from the college and it's grounds, that means he will not be aloud to be seen in the campus as of tomorrow. Since you do know, mum, we have given him enough chances to redeem his attendance, but it has not changed and this is what is going to happen." Draco felt tears fill up in his eyes, "From tomorrow you are no longer a student in this sixth form. You will either need to find a new college which we will help you with, or you can do your own personal studies which means working." Draco nodded, as a tear dripped down his face.

Narcissa looked at her son, "Can he say goodbye to his friends first?" "He can, then he gives us his lanyard," Draco nodded, putting his bag on the chair after getting up. Draco walked out of the room, and messaged Harry to come to the main building. Harry rushed into the main building when he got the message. Draco walked over to him and Harry hugged him. Draco hugged him back, "My parents were called in, and now I can't come back. I'll try my best to come and see you whenever I can." Harry kissed his forehead, "Let me walk you outside after you get your bag." Narcissa and Lucius walked where the two boys were. Draco put his bag on, and grabbed Harry's hand. The two walked to the reception where the safeguarding officer was waiting. Draco took his pride badge off, putting it in his pocket, taking his lanyard off, handing it to her. Draco walked out with his parents and Harry behind them.

Harry pulled him into a hug again, "When do you have class?" "2, and it's now 10:20. So I have quite some time." Narcissa walked over to Harry, "If you want to come to ours for a bit, you can and we'll drop you off here." "I wouldn't mind that." Draco walked off to the car with Harry, and got in the back with Harry, as they put their bags down. Draco buckled into the car, "Darling?" "Yeah mum?" "Are you and Harry dating? As you look really close?" "Mum, if I tell you something, don't kick me out." "I won't kick you out of the house, tell me and your dad." "I've known this for a while but I've been to afraid to tell you, in case you wouldn't support. Teachers aren't a huge fan of me and they won't be a huge fan of me anymore. I know that it's going to come as a shock but I don't really know how else to put this, but I'm gay." Lucius pulled up on the side of the road, and got out of the car.
