this is written in the first person bc it was just really confusing to write otherwise 


I sighed and stood up. "I'm sorry." I whispered and walked away. I threw his invisibility cloak off and walked towards the bathroom. I heard some giggles in the bathroom and went to look. What I found was quite shocking, it was like looking in a mirror. Harry Potter stood in front of me, only I was Harry Potter. But the person standing in front of him didn't have a scar and was wearing Slytherin robes and was accompanied by Draco Malfoy. "who are you?" I asked. "I'm you, but from another universe." He replied. "wait I don't understand." I said. "I know it seems confusing but you're not the only Harry Potter to exist." the guy who looked like Draco said. "okay, but who are you?" I asked. "Draco Malfoy, from another universe, the same one as him." he replied. "okay, but I don't get why you're here?" I asked. "you see, there are a lot of universes where everything works different and is slightly different, in our universe, I am not a savior, there is no savior and there is no Voldemort and I have still my parents and I'm a Slytherin." Harry said. "okay?" I asked. "and in your universe you are, but there is one thing almost all there universes have in common." Draco said. "that's that we're dating." Harry said. I looked at him with a frown. "me dating Draco Malfoy, you're insane." I said. "point is that this universe is supposed to be like that, enemies to lovers, it's one of my favorites." Draco said. "my favorite is the one where we're both Gryffindor." Harry said. "but why are you here?" I asked. "because you did something, we don't know what, and all the other universes are collapsing. Looks there's only a handful of universes where we aren't supposed to date, that the one where your dad and Regulus are dating and you two became friends. The one where you're both aroace and just platonically married. The one where your kids are dating. the one where you died and Draco grieves you for the rest of his life and the one where Draco dies and you grieve him for the rest of your life." Harry said. "yeah so?" I asked. "all those other universes they are fading away, that's not supposed to happen." Draco said. "so what do I have to do about it?" I asked. "go to him, apologize and love him." Harry said. "well if you hadn't noticed, I've been sitting at his bed for the past weeks until he wakes up." I replied. "yeah we noticed, but you have to kiss him." Draco said. "I don't know how, I can't express my feelings." I said. "we know, that's why we're here. we'll help you." Harry said. "but, how?" I asked. "look." Draco waved his hand and all kinds off images appeared in front of Harry, there are hundreds of Draco's and Harry's kissing, hugging, laughing, marrying, having kids, having sex and I must admit that last one kind of looks kinky. "we've helped all of them." Harry said. I nodded and looked at the doors of the hospital wing who were just in line of sight. "I have to go back now." I walked towards them and opened the doors. He looked at the bed and saw that the normal Draco was slowly waking up. he rushed over and grabbed his hand. "thank god you're not dead I'm s-" Draco pushed his hand onto Harry's mouth. "I don't want to hear it, you nearly killed me. I don't care if it was on purpose or not, but as soon as I can walk again I will strangle you." he replied. "no you don't understand, let me explain." I said. "I don't give a shit, you threw that spell at me and left. savior or not, you're a bastard and I hope you die. Nobody needs you anyways, as soon as you defeated Voldemort, nobody will ever think you're special again and you'll be nobody and everyone will turn their backs on you. because you're a worthless piece of shit and you're a freak. Weasley and Granger don't give a shit about you, they just abuse your fame." Draco said. "okay." I said and hid the fact that there were tears in my eyes. I walked off.

Pov Draco

I put my robes back on and looked at the nurse. "you're ready to go back to classes, if you get dizzy you should come to me, but the blood potions should work." She said. I nodded. "now you've missed a month of classes I hope you'll be using that smart brain of yours and catch up." she said. "did Potter have to say sorry to me?" I asked. "no we suspended him for the first few days and gave him detention for the rest of the month." she replied. "why was he quicker than you to be at my bed?" I asked. "he's sat here at your bed every night, and in between classes he came to check on you. he of course was wearing his cloak. but he wasn't really subtle." She said. "he just sat here?" I asked. "and whispered, I once heard him saying that he wasn't worth living and that he had been told so when he was young and that this all proved it. he told you that he's sorry and ill never pick up his wand again and he hasn't since the incident, it's still in the bathroom where he left it. untouched." She said. I nodded and walked off. Instead of heading towards the Slytherin dorms I went to the library. It was mainly empty, most of the people had gone for easter. I picked up my books and sat down. I looked over at the corner of the library and saw Harry and his friends. Ron and Hermione were chatting with each other while Harry was telling them something. I went closer to listen. "I really think this essay is difficult Hermione could you give me some help?" Harry asked. there was no response only of the two talking between themselves. "I wonder what would happen if I just stopped talking, maybe Malfoy was right." He said loud enough for the two to hear it, but they didn't say anything back. Harry sighed. "maybe if I kill myself you'd give a damn." He said a little louder this time, yet neither said anything towards Harry. "I'm going to throw myself off the highest tower here." he put his books down and walked out of the aisle and met eyes with me. "you're feeling better?" he asked. "as if you care?" I huffed. "you might think I don't, but I genuinely do." He replied and walked out of the library Draco sat back down and looked at his book hen he heard a crack he looked up and saw himself in horrendous Gryffindor robes. "who put that on you?" I asked. he rolled his eyes and sat down. "we've met before." He said. "I know, and I'm still not doing it." I replied. "he's upset, don't you see. What you told him that day." he said. "he tried to fucking kill me!" I yelled. "he didn't do it on purpose." He replied. I looked down. "he's really jumping you know." he said. "he is?" I asked. "now you seem to care?" Draco asked. "of course, he's committing suicide!" I said. "the tower won't let him, there's a spell, it blocks his fall. He just does it for the kick nowadays, the first time he really tried to off himself." He said. I sighed. "what's your favorite universe?" I asked. "oh my favorite is where Harry's some sort of dark Lord and we're the saviors. They have very kinky sex." he replied. I chuckled. "and you Potter's?" Draco smirked. "he likes the one where we actually don't really know each other, but we have sex daily, but we're drunk every time." I nodded. "yours?" he asked. "I think I live the one where Harry's dead the most." He said. "don't say that, you're really sad there and if you're wondering your Harry likes the one where you fell in love at five years old the most. He rewatches it daily. You now have kids there." I nodded and sighed. "will you at least talk to him?" he asked. "no, he hurt me." I said. "and you hurt his feelings a lot, you know what happened in his past." He said. "I know that, and I regret saying it. but that doesn't mean we should date." I said. "you know what, let's make a deal, you want me gone and I will, if you just talk to him. just talk." He said. "okay." I said. "good, go." He said.

I looked at the boy who was standing on the balcony. "you ever tried slitting your wrists?" I asked. "yup and it didn't work." He replied. "I was joking." I said. "and I wasn't." he replied and down not even looking at me. "how'd you find me?" he asked. "do you also have weird people in your head trying to convince you of something you don't want?" I asked. "weirdly I do." Harry looked into my eyes. "I'm sorry." He said. I nodded. "I'm sorry, I threw that spell on you, I thought it would make you less angry or go at someone else. I didn't mean to kill you." he said. "I know, you didn't. but you left me there." I said. "I went to search for help, I couldn't heal you." he replied. I sighed and sat next to him. "I'm sorry I said that to you when you only tried to be nice." I said. "I deserved it, I deserved the reminder and you're right. Nobody cares for me. I'm a freak. I'm worthless. It's true, people have been saying that for years to me and you saw Ron and Hermione in the library." Harry said. "don't say that to yourself, please. I'm sorry I said that, I didn't mean it." I said. he shrugged and stood up. "why do you keep jumping?" I asked. "because I hope every time that there will be someone who stops me." He said. I stood up too. "what if the spell ever breaks?" I asked. "I'll die, that's fine." He replied. I shook my head. "there are people who care for you, like Remus and Luna. And those other five hundred versions of who so desperately want us to snog the fuck out of each other because their own universe is collapsing and I do in a weird way too." I said. "why would you care about me?" he asked. "because with you, I feel good. You give me attention, it's a wrong way. but I've craved for attention my entire life and I don't want to be the spotlight of everything. But I want someone to think about me." I said. it was quiet for quite some time. "Pomfrey told me you sat at my bed, until I woke up. you whispered to me. She didn't hear a lot. What did you say?" I asked. "I promised you a better life. I have been accusing you for an entire year that you are a death eater." He replied. "I am, okay, I am. I'm sorry. I didn't have choice." I said. he walked over to me and wrapped his arms around me. "I know you are, I've seen it. and I forgave you. your still body full of blood. Snape told me. Said your mother begged him to help you and her. But he couldn't and I figured there's nobody left that truly cares about me apart from Remus. So instead of doing all this for everyone I did this for you. I am doing this for and your mum." Harry said. Draco nodded and pressed his body tighter to him and let his tears roll. After a few minutes they let go of each other and smiled. "I love you." Draco said and he grabbed Harry's face and kissed him."
