Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter. Don't rub it in....
Harry starts running down the halls underneath his invisibility cloak, the Marauders Map in his pocket, hoping he's not late. He could not mess this up.
When he arrived on the top of the tower Harry was a bit relieved to see Draco hadn't arrived yet so he decided to look at the view. It really was a beautiful sight; the moon was crescent but still gleaming out onto the grounds; the stars were out and shining down on the dark lake making everything look so...calm. These were the only times he could just...get away from it all. Up here. Harry had always had a liking to this place.
As said he was so busy admiring the view and thinking about Sirius Black, the so-called traitor, wanting to kill him, he didn't hear the door open or the chuckle Draco Malfoy let out or the sound of footsteps getting closer but then again... how can you listen to everything that's going on around here when there's an insane murderer out on the loose trying to hunt you down?
Draco's Pov
I started to walk up the stairs, knowing Harry wouldn't mind if I was a minute late. On my way up I started to think some more on what will happen. I didn't have a lot of time to think as I was there at the top in a minute or so. I quietly opened the door slowly, not wanting to barge out there, even if I knew we were alone.
When I looked outside the first thing I noticed was a slender figure; Harry. Harry was looking over the grounds it seems. I let out a small laugh that I couldn't keep in, liking the way he looks when he's in deep thought. He didn't turn or look at me so I guess he hadn't heard me. I didn't want to scare Harry so I gently walked over to him. He looked so...calm and peaceful.
I've never really seen the Golden Boy this way, but then again every time I saw him I just made fun of him. Taunted him. I regret everything when I see him like this. As though there was nothing to bother him, but i can tell he was in deep thought. Harry seemed to be a wonderful person and didn't deserve me. One can only hope he'll feel the way I do. I decided to finally speak up since I was literally right next to him.
"Hey." Silence, "Yo, Harry?" I whispered gently brushing his arms with my hand. As I said didn't want to scare him.
Harry's Pov
"Hey...Harry."
I heard a voice that sounded familiar but for a reason I couldn't quite 'Go back to Earth'. I was deep in thought. It sounded almost faded, the voice. Like it was far but I guess it wasn't since I felt a warm hand brush against my arm. Naturally I jumped and faced the figure next to me.
"Sorry! I-um I didn't mean to scare you..." The voice sounded sincere.
"Oh Draaaa-Malfoy! It's just you. Um no it's fine. Just thinking." I was just glad he came. I'm probably grinning like an idiot. I was doing fine up here thinking as always but Draco always brightened me and made me feel...what's that word...happier. Just plain happier. It was weird, he always makes fun of me but his face is just so- it's like that face that- it makes me glad to- to be alive. I have a privilege to see his face. Even when Hermione, Ron, and I are just walking by him in the halls and he sneers at us. I always felt my heart lighten.
Draco nodded as if understanding, smiling as well "Hm. About what may if I may ask."
I felt my smile drop a bit,"Oh just about classes. You know homework and such..."
Draco smile dropped a bit along with mine."You don't have to lie to me. Just tell me you don't want to talk about your personal thoughts. You must have a lot on your mind being the Chosen One and all..."
I noted there was a bit of venom when he said 'the Chosen One'. As if he blamed me. Well its not exactly my fault I was born at the end of July and little Tom went after me, was it?
This time Draco frowned deeply. I really got to stop saying things out loud.
"Shit. Sorry I didn't mean to say that but its just....
"Just what?" Draco asked. His frown was replaced with confused splattered on his face.
"I mean I'm freaking 13 years old! Yet everyone is always relieing on mean! My parents are dead, I have an abusive so-called family, and all the stupid Slytherins are always making fun of me! Then I still have all this pressure on me! Plus to top it all off there's a murderer who just broke out of Azkaban and, is out to kill me! You know Malfoy life isn't always perfect for everyone!" I shouted. l honestly didn't mean for that to happen but I couldn't hold it in. Worse of all I told him the secret that no one was supposed to know.
Okay I admit my family would sometimes abuse me physically but never would it be Aunt Petunia. I always got confused on that. Why she didn't do anything to me, only Merlin knows. Uncle Vermon would hit me whenever he was drunk. Which happened alot. And you should already know about Dudley. Hope hope hope. Let's hope Draco didn't hear that.
"Harry... I'm sorry I di-didn't know- that" Draco backed away towards the door. Good he didn't hear what I said. Well he could've of... Wait, why does he look so scared?
"No of course you didn't! I've tried all this time to keep it a secret!" Why I'm I still talking? Whatever. Letting it out felt real good. I didn't want to spill out another secret so I stomped out.
Draco's Pov
Who's Tom? I'll ask him that later. I could tell I stopped frowning when he stopped talking.
"Just what?" This must of offended Harry cause then he just exploded and started yelling. I kind of zoned out on the first sentence by then I heard two interesting words: abusive and family. Then I zoned out again. Not zoned out like sleeping. I just wasn't listening to the rest. His-His eyes were all dark green. Deadly Avada-Kadavra green.
Yeah I've seen that spell. My darn dad used it on Captin Oreos, my bunny when I was like 6 years old, after I broke a vase. Some how I remember how he got to being irresponsible to 'love isn't important'. R.I.P. Captain Oreos. But I'm not kidding when Harry looked like he can kill right now because i'm sure he would of. What was I talking about before Harry's eyes? Hmm I'll think later. Harry had stopped talking.
"Harry....I'm sorry I di-didn't know" I wasn't sure why I was apologizing but it felt right to do so. Then he started yelling again. Before I knew it he left. Well it certainly took awhile for that to happen.
Authors Note: Haha not how you thought that would turn out was it? Sorry for the late update but I've had a lot of homework but that's no excuse. But really the only time I've been able to write is at night. It's night right now where I am. Next chapter: They Ship It? Can you guess who they are?
