After the war, Harry made the decision to join the muggle army.
He never told Draco why, but he already knew.

Harry had fought for everything: freedom, life, friends, family, happiness and love. All this fighting and he lost so much. He fought for so many things so many times that it is now the only thing he knows how to do. Like a drug he's addicted to and can't escape.
Draco feared however, that if Harry kept fighting he would also keep loosing.

It's a sad thing really, being addicted to fighting, to war. It's a trap. A trap of torment and grief. Draco wants so badly to save Harry from this tap, secretly, so does Harry. But they both know they can't, it's just something he has to do.

It is currently the night before Harry's departure, Harry and Draco are both restless, the sweet sensation of unconsciousness refuses to overcome them.
Suddenly, Draco remembers the song that he always sings to Harry when he gets restless or after a nightmare.
Harry has always felt that he can relate to the lyrics and his ears prick up as his boyfriend begins singing.

"Don't move there's a lion next to you"

Draco always calls Harry his lion. This makes Harry smile as he continues singing.

"I pray that your soul survives it through another day.
Cause in my dreams there were angles circling, I could see everything you ever wanted me to be.
I see oceans in your eyes it makes me scared. So if we both drown.
Ooooo don't be scared, I'm right here.
And what is fear when no one knows what comes next?"

Soon light snores could be heard, Draco leaned over and sure enough Harry was peacefully sleeping.
Just before going to sleep himself, he sang one more line:
"So yeah I'm scared, but I won't let it get to me."

Harry is gone. Harry is gone. No matter how many times he replayed that sentence in his head, Draco still can't believe it.
No.
He won't believe it.
He won't believe that Harry just walked out to go and fight in the army. And he won't believe that he might not see Harry for countless months. Or that Harry could get hurt. He especially won't believe that that could have been the last time he will ever see Harry.

Draco feels completely broken. Lost. A whole part of him is missing, and who knows if he'll ever get that part back?

He could imagine it, a man in army uniform at his door. The man hands him a letter and says, "I'm sorry for your loss."
It had been bad enough in the magical war when Draco had thought that Harry had died before he had the chance to say 'I love you'. But now. Now it was worse, because this time Harry couldn't use magic.

Solemnly, Hermione walks over and puts her hand on Draco's shoulder. They're all hurting and they're all going to need support, but that's okay. Because they'll be there for each other.

* Time Skip *

"Draco I'm telling you, Harry will come home soon!" Hermione said earnestly for the millionth time.

Draco and Harry hadn't seen each other for almost half a year now. The two lovers wrote letters at every opportunity, but it wasn't the same. They needed to feel each other's touch, see each other again, be together.

"Will he though, will he Hermione! What if he can't come back until the end of the year? What if he's forgotten about me? What if he's not going to come home...?" The blonde was starting to break without his boyfriend.

"Draco please just, calm do-" She stopped. The bushy-haired girl was seemingly transfixed by something over Draco's right shoulder. Her eyes filled with tears, one managed to slip out and slide down her cheek. It was the beginning of a waterfall.

Draco, on the other hand, was so wrapped up in his frenzy that he didn't notice her sudden change. Not until she uttered the words...

"Don't move there's a lion next to you."

It clicked inside the blonde boy's head, and he turned just in time to catch his boyfriend who had flung himself desperately at him. He pulled their lips together in a soft kiss.

In that moment, time slowed down. Nothing else mattered, except that they were together. They had found their other half. And they were whole again.

"I love you Lion."
"I love you too Dragon."
