Harry led Draco to an abandoned room that was empty save for the lone mirror sitting in the corner. "Potter, what did you bring me here for. There's nothing here but a dusty old mirror." Draco asked, well more like snipped.
"Look in the mirror, Malfoy." Harry said then vanished. Draco made his way over to the mirror.
"Erised stra ehru oyt ube cafru oyt on wohsi." Draco read the inscription across the top. "Wonder what that means."
His eyes made their way to that clouded glass. In the image he saw, not himself, but Harry, happy and healthy - and alive. He slumped to the ground in front of the mirror as the image changed slightly. Now he saw himself standing beside Harry, their fingers intertwined as they both smiled. Draco started to cry.
"Why did it have to be this way?" He murmured. "Why did he have to die he was so young." The tears fell onto his lap when he didn't bother wiping them from his face.
"I-I'm sorry, Harry." He sighed, finally using Harry's first name. "I-I love you." He whispered. "I'm sorry for being such a prick to you all these years. I was just jealous. Jealous that you were Gr-Hermione and Ron's friend but you refused me. All I wanted was to be your friend. Now I've made a mess of everything."
"Hermione's on the run, Ron's being controlled, and you're dead. And its all my fault. If I hadn't have fixed that wardrobe then the death eaters would've never gotten in. Dumbledore would still be alive, so would Neville and all the Muggle borns at this school. So would Snape and mom and, and everyone!"
"I fucked up. I royally fucked up. I didn't deserve to be pulled from the room of requirement when it was burning but you still did. I didn't deserve for you to protect me when you were protecting the school. What I deserved was for you to hex me every time you saw me. What I deserved was for you to leave me to burn."
"I know that you forgive me for everything but I don't deserve that. I don't deserve for you to hate it when I'm unhappy. I should be the one that's dead, not you, Harry. I deserve to be the one under six feet of cold dead earth. I deserve to be tortured, not Hermione. I should be the one being controlled, not Ron. I don't deserve to be on this earth anymore."
Shakily Draco stood, tears still wet on his face, and raised Harry's wand. He pointed it at the mirror knowing that the spell will bounce back and hit him. "I deserve to be cursed. Avada, Avada Kedavra." He felt the curse hit him square in the chest, knocking him backwards. "I love you Ha-" He died before he could finish his sentence.
"I love you too, Draco." Harry said appearing to look sadly at Draco's lifeless body. "But you do deserve everything that came to you. You deserved that and much more. You didn't deserve this." He bent over and touched the tips of his fingers to Draco's eyes, closing them. Then he turned to the glowing mist right beside him. Draco stepped out of it.
"I won't ever hurt you again." Draco murmured wrapping his arms around the dark haired boy.
"I know you won't, Dray. I know you won't." Harry hugged him back, burying his head into Draco's chest.
Several more silvery mists formed around the pair as Harry and Draco's family and friends stepped from them. They all glanced into the mirror and saw the exact same image staring back at them. All that was missing were a few more friends before the family would be together, completely, for eternity.
