                 -Harry POV later in the library-

Harry was in the library with Hermione and Ron

hunched over his god fathers letter, rereading it . “did that Sirius letter come?" Harry nodded and handed it to Ron and Hermione who looked at it over Rons arm.

“This is bad Harry, real bad. Even Sirius is worried" Ron said

Hermione sat in the empty chair next to Harry and put her hand on his and squeezed it gently

" Harry...You-know-who is planning something dangerous, there is dark forces beyond our control and I'm afraid, even Dumbledore can't stop it."

Ron answered " she's right, if Black is telling you that this is a little too big..." 

Hermione handed him THE Daily Prophet “look at the front, Harry”

He took it from her, looking at the front of the newspaper with enchanted pictures that moved, “Muggles are slowly starting to disappear around wooded areas and crowed cities, Ministry of Magic fears rouge wizard or witch might behind it. Bodies of missing muggles never found”

“See Harry MUGGLES are starting to disappear and I bet you know who’s behind it!” Ron said trying to whisper but failing

Harry hung his head and put his head in his arms, “I know but every night the dreams are getting clearer, and it scares me. I see into his mind, all the darkness, the blood. He wants to destroy the world and everyone in it, he wants to see it burn to the ground around him and he's killings are becoming more and more obvious to muggles. I'm afraid I won't be strong enough this time."  

Ron and Hermione got up to eat lunch but Harry stayed, he needed to be alone

                 Draco POV

Draco was wondering threw the library, not searching for any one book in particular, when from behind a book shelf he heard the strained tired voice of no other then ...

 " -becoming more and more obvious to muggles. I'm afraid I won't be strong enough this time."

It was Harry  

His voice was unset and almost whiney, He was talking to that red head and the frizzy headed witch that he was friends with.

he heard them talk more, saying they were going to eat lunch, Harry saying he was going to stay behind

Draco closed his eye and let his head rest against the book case he was hiding beind

He felt hot stinging behind his blond eyelashes and burning ache in his chest,' god why can't I just die!' he heard the little inner voice that was  probably a side effect of not taking his depressant and anxiety pills  

~ Killing yourself won't make things go away, Draco. At least that's what that stupid therapists says ~

 Draco put his hands over his ears and mumbled

'shut up shut up shuddup!' 

~Oh mustn't yell to loud Draco this is a library~

he fell down, pulling his knees to his chest, burying his face in his arms,crying

Draco paused suddenly...someone was watching him.  

"Draco are you okay, I heard you crying?"

Harry was a few feet away from him and had a worried look on his face. He reaches out a hand, catching a single tear that still clung to his fair cheek.

Draco put his hand out to touch 

Harry, Real Harry

his hand felt warm skin

Harry did something odd

Draco was crying from behind the book shelf and Harry had gotten up to see who it was but seeing the prince of Slytherin curled up in the floor, he looked so miserable, he knelt down to him and Draco didnt even push him away

he looked so sad

he kissed him
