"I HAVE RISKED MY LIFE FOR YOU, FOR EVERYONE'S LIVES AND THIS IS HOW YOU REPAY ME?" Harry shouted.

"Harry-" Draco began, tears started welling in his eyes.

"-I'M OUT THERE, TRYING TO SOLVE PROBLEMS, TRYING TO KEEP YOU ALIVE SO YOU CAN LIVE THE WAY YOU WANT!" Harry raised his voice even louder now, with more rage- his fist clenched tighter to the point where his skin went white.

"Harry, please," Draco begged, stepping closer to him.

"Why don't you call me 'Potter' like you use to do, huh? Why don't you throw me out like you use to?" Harry spat.

"I've been trying-"

"TRYING? TRYING? WELL, YOU'RE NOT TRYING HARD ENOUGH, THEN! HAVE YOU HAD ANY IDEA WHAT IT IS LIKE TO BE ME? DO YOU?"

Draco had tears down his face, "Harry, please if you could just listen. I love you. I love you, you are what matters to me."
Harry turned to him, he breathed heavily.

"I gave you everything you didn't have! Friendship! A proper family! Somewhere where you could be accepted for who you are!" Harry couldn't control his anger...he lunged at Draco. He pressed him against the wall with his wand to his neck.

"Harry, PLEASE!" Draco sobbed.
"If you really did love me...Why would you become one of them? A Death Eater..."

"I do love you, Harry."
"Then prove it." He spat. 

Harry ran out, and went into his room, shut the door and started crying. What had he done? He shouted at the person he cared for...His thoughts were interrupted by a curse going off in the other room.

It came in a flash of green light, Harry fluttered his eyes at the glaring light. It dimmed a little, Harry slowly opened the door, he looked around the house to see where it came from. Then, there he was. Draco was dead and pale with his wand beside him.

There was a letter beside him...Harry opened it, shaking...

Dear Hermione, Ron, Ginny and Luna,

   I am thankful for the gifts you sent Harry and I. Honestly, all of you are the best...I hope that you guys are well. Harry has been a little tired lately but still adorable, I can't believe the War is coming soon. You guys are so lucky to have Harry, he's sweet, kind, brave...Okay, mostly attractive. I just want to repay him somehow. It's just that, I got the Dark Mark three weeks ago. I didn't want to tell Harry-yet. I knew our relationship will end because of me. That's why I'm trusting you guys to handle my bank account and my other personal things. Just- if I'm gone or sent off to be a Death Eater for life, please just let Harry know- I love him. I truly do. If he could appreciate that even when I tell him I'm a Death Eater, that'd make me happy. Did I tell you Harry almost killed the garden? Or that, I almost burnt the house down for the 7th time this month? Anyway. I love you all.
Love,
Draco Malfoy

Harry felt like a knife went through his heart. He felt so guilty, unlike Cedric or Sirius' death...This was the most guilty death he'd ever witness. Harry teared off the bottom part of the letter, 'Love, Draco Malfoy'...

TWO YEARS LATER

He braced himself. He took a deep breath...He was sick living like this. It's time to join him...He closed his eyes and threw himself off the Astronomy Tower, falling and falling to his death.
