Harry soon found himself in an abandoned hall. Tears tracks were stained to his face and he was struggling for breath. He could faintly hear shouts calling his name. Ron. Ron had betrayed him, was only using him for fame. He didn't want him as a friend. Once again Harry was running. Running away from the pain, away from the sorrow, away from the betrayal.

A strangled cry surrounded him. He was struggling to keep all his emotions together, to not fall apart. He wasn't paying attention and ran into someone. He fell to the ground with a thud. Blood pooled in his mouth as he bit his tongue. A sharp sting reminded him he was biting too hard. He couldn't do this anymore. The emotions spilled out of him, surrounding him almost suffocatingly.

"Potter?"

Harry's head snapped up to meet mercury silver eyes. Malfoy. Harry didn't need this right now and shot up to his feet. He took of in the direction of the astronomy tower, ignoring the shouts calling his name once again.

Once he reached the astronomy tower he dropped to his knees and gripped his hair. He was kneeling by the railing, it overlooked the school grounds, it's beauty was normally calming but it didn't calm him at all. He soon found his body being wracked with sobs. He struggled to contain them but found it was no use. Pain leaked through his veins and he had a feeling to spill that pain. Without realizing what he was doing he found a shard of glass and shakily brought it to his wrist.

One, two, three, four. Scarlet was slowly pooling around him as the emotional pain ebbed away. The sharp sting of the glass breached his wrist again as he dragged it across. A sharp intake of breath was all that was heard in the room. Soon the emotional pain was taken away with a new feeling. Except it wasn't exactly a feeling. Numb and empty. Nothing more, nothing less.

Harry heard a gasp and he immediately looked up. Silver orbs stared into his own emerald ones, they kept straying to his bloody wrist. His eyes then went back to Harry's and he slowly walked over. He kneeled down next to Harry and carefully took the ravenette's wrist in his hands. "Why?" And Harry let out a sob and buried his face with his one hand. The blonde still hand his other.

"H-Harry, why? Does anyone know?" Draco asked. Tears streamed faster down the ravenette's face as he shook his head. He couldn't speak at the moment. His throat was choked with tears and emotion. Instinctively the blonde pulled Harry into his arms, and held him close. Soon Harry had his head buried in Draco's chest as the silent tears slowed to almost a stop, but not quite.

"Harry please answer me" Harry looked up at Draco. Draco's platinum blonde harry was slightly dishevelled, his mercury silver eyes held pain, and sadness, tears swam in those silvery depths. His skin was paler than normal, Harry wasn't sure why, but it almost looked sickly.

"I... I-" Harry broke off as it became too much. Soon a redhead came bursting into the room. A loud bang sounded and Harry quickly buried himself in Draco's arms.

"Harry! Why'd you run out? What's going on!? You can't just ditch us like that! And what are you doing here with Malfoy of all people" The redheads face looked redder than his hair. Harry whimpered again but looked up. His face was caked with tears and more were still streaming.

"I-It's your own f-fault Ron, maybe if you weren't just my friend for fame you'd understand what's going on" Harry sneered but it soon faltered as another wave of pain washed over him and he soon found his way back to the blonde's chest. Tears streaming down his face faster than before.

"What!? This my fault? Well maybe if you weren't so caught up in your fame you would realize this before!" Ron snarled. Harry's head snapped up and he had a deadly glare on his face.

"I don't want my fame and if you were a true friend you would have realized this before! I've never wanted to be Harry Potter! I just want to be Harry! I want to have real friends who want me for me. Though the thing I want most is my family back! I know you're jealous of my fame and money well guess what you can take my place! I'd give anything to have my parents back! To have Remus, Tonks, Fred, and Sirius back as well! You don't even know half of what I go through at my so called 'home' either! I'd rather be anybody else rather than me but guess what! Not everyone gets what they want so sod off already and leave me be!" Harry cried. He was absolutely fuming!

"What?-"

"Don't- Don't try to fix this! It's your fault! Now go away and leave me be Weasley" Harry spat. He had stopped crying but he knew it wouldn't be long before the tears came again. It wouldn't be long till he wanted to spill his pain or end it all. He felt arms tighten around his waist and looked back to the blonde haired boy holding him. He hadn't realized he had turned around completely in Draco's grasp while he was yelling at Ron. The door softly closed, indicating that Ron left.

He turned back in Draco's arms and he soon had his face buried in the Malfoy heir's neck. "H-Harry..." Came Draco's voice in a strangled tone. He felt something wet drip onto his face and he looked up to see that Draco was crying. "Oh Draco..." Harry whispered as Draco looked into Harry's eyes. Draco smiled slightly and just pulled him closer.

"Just.... Promise me not to do this again" The blonde sighed. "I can't- I can't lose you" He choked out tears still streaming down those pale, rosy, cheeks that Harry loved. Harry smiled slightly and nodded. Draco returned the smile and carded his fingers through Harry's hair. A sigh of content escaped Harry's lips as he leaned into the touch, this caused the blonde to chuckle slightly.

Draco grabbed Harry's chin, forcing their eyes to meet. "I love you Harry, and just Harry not for the fame but for just being you.." A smile lit up Harry's face, a smile that actually reached the ravenette's eyes. The Malfoy heir's eyes fluttered closed, and pressed his lips to Harry's. Harry smiled and kissed back.

Maybe he always had what he wanted. It was hidden right in front of him all along.

"I love you too"
