Takes place in seventh (?) year.

It was a cold and dreary evening at Hogwarts, the students were preparing for yet another intense year ahead. Among them were two individuals who were known to be rivals, Draco Malfoy and Harry Potter. The two were always at each other's throats, constantly bickering and trying to one-up each other. Little did they know, their fate would soon change, and the hatred they once harbored for each other would turn into something entirely different.

It was another ordinary day at Hogwarts, Draco had snuck into the prefect's bathroom to have some time to himself. He sat by the edge of the large bath tub, staring at his left arm. His Death Eater mark was starting to burn, reminding him of the life he no longer wanted to live. Draco felt his chest tighten, his breathing becoming irregular. He was having a panic attack. As he tried to calm himself, he heard footsteps approaching. Panicked, he quickly hid himself behind a large curtain.

To his surprise, it was Harry who came through the door. Draco could hear Harry's voice as he talked to himself, complaining about needing some alone time as well. However, he abruptly stopped when he noticed something was off. Following a hunch, he searched around the bathroom and found Draco hiding behind the curtain.

At first, Draco was defensive and refused to let Harry help, but it wasn't until he saw the genuine concern in Harry's eyes that he let his guard down. Harry slowly talked him through his emotions, telling him that he understood what it was like to be pressured into something he didn't want to do. As time passed, Draco felt his body relax and his breathing returned to normal.

As the weeks progressed, Draco started to see Harry in a different light. He no longer saw him as his enemy, but rather, as someone he could confide in. The two found themselves spending more and more time together, talking and getting to know each other. They laughed, joked, and shared their deepest secrets. It wasn't long before they realized they had developed feelings for each other.

As the final battle between Harry and Voldemort began, Draco found himself on the side of good, fighting alongside Harry and his friends. Everything seemed to be going well until Harry was struck by a powerful spell and fell to the ground, seemingly lifeless. In that moment, Draco finally realized his true feelings for Harry. He realized that he couldn't imagine a world without him in it.

With tears in his eyes, Draco ran towards Harry and threw his wand at him, joining Harry's side for one final fight. When Harry emerged victorious, Draco rushed to him and threw his arms around him in an emotional embrace. In that moment, they both knew that their love for each other was stronger than any feud or rivalry.

As they both laughed and confessed their love for each other, they shared their first kiss, sealing their love for each other. From that day on, they were inseparable, their love only growing stronger with each passing day. Draco and Harry lived happily ever after, proving that love knows no boundaries, not even the rivalry between two Hogwarts' students.
