Draco spots Harry on the Astronomy Tower, staring down at the ground below him. He walks up to him. "Well, well, well." He says with a smirk. "Look at the little weirdo Potter, staring down at the ground like some kind of freak."

Harry ignores him.

Draco gets irritated by this. "Hey, are you gonna say something?"

Harry shakes his head, clearly not bothering to fight back anymore.

Draco feels a twinge of sadness go through his chest. "Hey, Potter?"

Harry ignores him again, fighting back tears and staring down at the ground.

"Potter," Draco pauses. "Harry." He says, correcting himself. "Why are you staring down at the ground?"

Harry shrugs, refusing to answer.

Draco starts to get a bit irritated by this. "Harry."

Harry looks back at Draco, tears streaming down his face. "What do you want?"

Draco notices the tears and his eyes widen. "Harry...are you...okay?" He starts to walk toward him.

"What do you think?" Harry snaps. "I'm staring down at the ground as if I'm gonna jump."

Draco stops dead is in tracks. "B-but...you won't..." He pauses. "R-right?"

Harry turns back around and stares at the ground again. "Why do you care?"

Draco sighs, not knowing why he cares. "I don't know, but you can't just--"

Harry cuts him off. "And why not!? Why can't I just and just end it all now!?"

"Harry..." Draco says, holding back tears. "Please don't..."

"Why not!?" Harry suddenly snaps. "I barely have any family left, and the family I do have hates me and abuses me!" He keeps staring down at the ground.

"Harry," Draco says firmly. "Just because your living situation is bad doesn't mean you can--"

Harry ignores him and jumps off the balcony.

"NO!" Draco exclaims, and jumps after him.

Harry wakes a few hours later in the Hospital Wing, dazed and confused. "W-wha...?" He rubs his hand. "What happened?"

Draco notices him waking up. "I brought you here after you jumped off the Astronomy Tower." He says, fighting back tears.

Harry's eyes widen. "You...you brought be here?" He seems unconvinced.

Draco nods. "Is it so unbelievable that I actually care about you?" 

"Well..." Harry says. "Yeah!"

Draco narrows his eyes. "Well, I do." He softens his face. "I care about you a lot."

Harry's eyes widen. "Since...since when!?" He pauses. "I thought you hated me." He sits up, but gets a headache and lays back down.

Draco sighs. "I don't."

Harry seems skeptical.

Draco looks down. "I don't blame you for being skeptical. I've been a jerk to you all these years. But whether you believe me or not, I do care about you." He takes Harry's hand in his and holds it. He smiles. "A lot. Like, a lot a lot."

Harry's face flushes slightly red, although he doesn't know why. "Uhm...thanks..."

Draco notices the blush on Harry's cheeks and smirks. "Are you blushing?"
