Look at his gorgeous smile, with his stunning eyes. Look at my weird smile with my bland eyes. Look at his beautiful hair with his pretty face. Look at my boring hair with my way too pointy face. Look at him surrounded by his friends. Look at me by myself. Look at him bubble with laughter. Look at me sigh in sadness.

I see him every day, and yet he never see's me. He see's me only in a negative way because I never know what to say. He see's my father when he looks at me, yet I only see him when I look anywhere. I cry these tears to sleep, and he stays up laughing with his friends. He walks by me each day, and I let him, knowing I'll cry later no matter what I say.

I sit here now eating by myself in the courtyard, afraid that I'll see him and I'll start crying. It's lately become too much to even look at him so I purposely stay away from him. Though he would never notice if I was gone. I look at the butter knife in my hand and wish it was sharper. I wonder what the blade will feel like against my skin and slowly drag it across. My white skin is pebbled in blood.

I cut and cut repeatedly, over and over again. Soon I drop the knife and it clatters loudly in the empty courtyard. My body rakes with sobs as I'm hunched over the bench crying to myself. I only stop when I feel a hand roughly grab my shoulder. I quickly spin around and there is my father, he is supposed to be in azkaban so im suddenly very worried. He looks pale and hollow but I dont care all I care about is that hes here, and he looks angry. I'm shrinking away, suddenly terrified.

"Draco, what are you doing on the ground bleeding and crying?!" Lucius asks outraged.

"F-father, I'm sorry, I didn't mean..."

"I dont care for your blubbering. Now get up, we're getting revenge."

"Re-revenge?"

"Yes, we are going to kill Harry Potter for killing the dark lord. And stop stuttering you're a malfoy, act like it."

Draco froze in spot but his heart beat faster than it ever has before. Lucius rolled his eyes and grabbed Draco's wrist tugging him along behind him. Lucius slammed the great hall doors open and the first thing he did was put up a magical wall to lock the teachers spells and them from getting to them. Harry saw them and stood up raising his wand, but Lucius was faster and disarmed him.

Draco was pulled until right in front of Harry Potter and another magical wall held them away from everyone else. Lucius threw Draco haphazardly on the ground and then blocked himself out from Harry and Draco. Now Harry and Draco were left just the two of them in the magical wall and Lucius was looking at Draco expectantly.

"Kill him." Lucius stated.

"What?! Why me?!" Draco said hysterical.

"Because Draco, you need to learn to get over your foolish love thing. He will never love you back and you know that. So might as well kill him."

"Malfoy, you don't have to do this." Harry whispered.

"I do, Father, he'll do it himself if I don't. He'll torture you, I can end it quickly." Draco cried.

"Malfoy, please." Harry pleaded.

Draco looked into Harry's gorgeous green eyes and raised his wand higher between them. He held his shaking wand there before seeing the panic and fear in Harry's eyes, at which point he started to lower his wand. Lucius roared in anger when Draco stepped back and he dropped the invisible wall. Lucius stepped up to Draco and roughly grabbed his wrist squeezing making him wince in pain.

"You worthless boy, you cant do anything right can you? And you Potter, If you're so great how could you turn somebody so useless, pathetic and a great disappointment." Lucius ripped Draco's robe sleeves down and brandished Draco's fresh cuts. " you, you did this to him."

"Father, stop, please." Draco cried trying to yank his wrist free.

"Let him go Lucius." Harry spat.

Draco quickly shook his head at Harry, but Harry ignored it and stepped closer to them. Draco hadn't realized the invisible wall still up and spells being cast to try and break it. Lucius pointed his wand at Harry, yet Harry kept coming closer. Draco struggled harder to free himself from his father's right grip.

"Or what Potter, what will you do. You don't have a wand." Lucius said smugly.

"Harry! Do it, use it now!!" Hermione yelled through the wall.

"You see Lucius, I don't need a wand." Harry smirked before snapping his fingers.

Lucius was suddenly flown into the wall but since he was still holding on to Draco so was he. Lucius scrambled up quickly and instead of pointing his wand at Harry, pointed it at Draco. Draco whimpered confused and betrayed.

"You wouldn't." Harry growled.

"Oh but wouldn't I? He's useless anyways, ever since he fell in love with a guy, and not just any guy but you. He's filth, dirt, soon I'll bring him to that exact state and he will become nothing but dust on the ground for you to sweep up."

"Lucius if you don't release him I will be forced to kill you."

"Hmmm, let's see. Oh, I know the cruciatus curse should do the trick."

Lucius yelled 'Crucio' and light shot out of his wand at Draco, and suddenly he was writhing around on the ground in pain. He was screaming and yelling and clutching his sides. The extreme of the cruciatis curse was ripping him open, literally, and he was bleeding. Harry roared and suddenly the pain was gone and Draco was just in a pool of his own blood.

"You're never hurting him again, you here me?" Harry screamed.

There was a crash and a part of the ceiling fell and landed on Lucius. There wasn't even a shout of surprise, just nothing as Lucius was silenced forever. Draco couldn't breath and felt soft yet firm hands picking him up and carrying him past the now fallen walls. He was placed on a soft bed where he felt comfortable. A hand stroked his hand, and his cheek and everywhere the hand could reach. Draco leaned into the touch and sighed contentedly now that he was completely healed.

"That's it Draco, you're gonna be alright." Harry murmured.

"I love you." Draco whispered.

"I know, and I can learn to." Harry said before kissing his forehead and he fell asleep.
