Feel - Drarry [discontinued]

Thirteen

Man. I never thought high school would eat up your time like this!? Sorry for the super-slow update … blugh, it shucks … but your comments really help me keep this going so thanks it means loads and loads!

“What’s up with you, Harry?” Ron walked casually into the dorm, “you look like you just won the damn lottery” he chuckled.

“What!?” Harry blushed violently and look down, “no.. uhh, I don’t know what you mean!”

Ron laughed loudly, “oh really?” he smiled cheekily, “it’s that secret boyfriend of yours”

“Don’t be stupid” Harry tried to change the subject still blushing, “where’s Hermione?”

“I’m right here” a bushy head of hair suddenly peeped in through the door, “what are you laughing about, Ronald?”
“Harry and his secret boooyfriend”

Hermione poked him in the side smiling, “stop bothering him”

“But he’s so easy. I mean, look at him!”

Harry smiled and punched his best friend lightly on the shoulder, “you’re such an idiot”

“I’m not,” Ron said with a high-pitched voice making them all laugh.

“Harry?” Neville Longbottom appear in the door looking rather uncomfortable, “uhmm… Draco Malfoy is standing outside the common room wanting to talk you. He looks pretty riled up… uhhh?”

“What?” Harry’s smile faltered and he furrowed his brows.

“What the hell does Malfoy want!?” Ron asked but a look from Hermione silenced him.

“You should go to him Harry,” she said snapping Harry out of his trancelike state.

In a flash, he was out the door and down the stairs. Exactly as Neville had said, Draco was standing shakily outside.

“Draco!” Harry rushed to his side not caring about what anyone saw. Draco looked like he had aged ten years in the hours they’d been away from each other. He’d paled and bags had formed under his silver eyes, which were haunted by a fierce look.

“Not here” he whispered taking Harry by the hand and drawing him away. Once they were safely out of the ear reach of everyone else, Draco looked at him.

“Harry” he whispered his voice shaking like a leaf, “it’s happening tonight”

“What!?”

“They’re coming to kill Dumbledore. Tonight”

“What do you mean tonight?”

“I’m sorry, Harry. I was stupid! I was all caught up in being with you and… and then suddenly they’re coming here. You have to leave!”

“I’m not going anywhere without you, Draco. Besides, we have to warn Dumbledore”

“But they might kill you!”

“Draco” for once Harry felt like he had to be the strong one, he grabbed Draco by the cheeks pulling him close, locking their eyes together, “I’ll be fine. You have to breathe, Draco. We’ll be fine but first we have to get to Dumbledore. When will they get here?”

“In about an hour but I have to get back”

“What do you mean?”

“I’m the one who’s supposed to kill Dumbledore, Harry. That’s my assignment. If I don’t show up they’ll know I’ve failed. You just need to warn Dumbledore and get out of here”

“No! I won’t let you go there, if they find out about us… about everything! They won’t stop at killing you”

“Don’t worry about me, Harry. I have to live on, right… so I can get back to you” he smiled faintly but it didn’t reach his eyes.

Harry pulled him in for what could be the last time, “I love you, Draco Malfoy”

“I love you, Harry Potter”
