~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Harry Potter, among many others, went back to Hogwarts for 8th year. Harry dreaded it, he was super depressed, anxious, and wasn't eating. He was also suicidal, he never wanted anyone to die for him, he never wanted to be 'the boy who lived', or 'the golden boy' he just wanted to be normal.

Harry sat down on the train, Hermione and Ron where prefects so they sat in the front, leaving Harry alone. He sat down in an empty compartment and closed his eyes. He hadn't got sleep in days.

He laid his head against the wall and closed his eyes. That was until the door slid open with a soft voice and a pale blonde.

"Uhm... can I sit here? everywhere else is full."

Harry turned to see him. There he was in all his glory. Draco Malfoy.

"Oh- Hello Potter, I didn't realize it was you. Uhm... I can look for another spot."

As much as Draco had been a jerk to Harry, he felt that Draco had changed. He could feel it.

"No, no. D-don't worry. You said everywhere else was full. Sit down."

"Oh- thanks Potter." Draco said softly, a soft blush forming on his face

The train ride was long, about 3 hours. About an hour went by of silence.

Draco noticed Harrys thin appearance and couldn't help but stare as Harry was sleeping. Harry's eyes slowly started opening and Draco looked away and into a book in his hand.

Harry covered his arms with his hands, and put himself in a ball.

"Uhm- I have a spare sweater in my case, would you like it? I can tell your cold," said Draco, breaking the silence.

"Really? I- I mean sure thanks." a blush appeared on Harrys face.

Draco handed Harry a Black hoodie, and Harry quickly put it on.

"Hey- Uhm Harry,"

Harry looked shocked, realizing that he just called him Harry.

"Uh yeah?"

"I- I'm sorry for all the times I was a complete asshole to you."

Harry looked in shock.

"Oh- Uh it's okay, thanks Malfoy."

"Please just call me Draco, this whole enemy thing sucks"

Harry laughed a bit

"True. Thanks, Draco."

They both ended up talking for a while about our summers, mostly Draco. Harry was with the Weasleys and was starving himself. So he just lied. Draco could tell Harry was lying though, He saw how skinny he was.

"Okay, I'm sorry but cut the bullshit." Draco needed to know

"W-what do you mean?"

"I mean, when you talk you can't keep eye contact, you shake and you clearly haven't been eating. You don't have to tell me but I want to help you."

Harry then started to cry lightly into his knees.

"I'm sorry Harry." Draco walked over to him and hugged him. He realized it and then backed away.

"N-No stay. Please?"

Draco quickly hugged Harry again. That was one of the saddest things he ever heard.

"I want to help you. Take your time telling me."

"O-okay"

For the rest of the train ride they sat side by side and talked. Harry slowly opened up to him about his life after the war, aswell as Draco.

It was about 5:30 when they got there. Harry started to take the hoodie off until Draco told him to keep it, causing Harry to blush. He met up with his friends and they went inside.

Food appeared on all the tables, Harry wanted to eat, He was starving but he didn't want to be sick. He looked over at Draco, who was watching him. He saw Draco mouth 'eat' so he nodded and grabbed a bit of food. God, it felt so nice. He was very greatful for Draco.

(TIME JUMP A FEW MONTS! HARRY HAS COME OUT AS GAY AND RON ISN'T SUPPORTIVE)

Draco was walking down the halls of Hogwarts, He walked by the astronomy tower and heard muffled sobs, He was curious and went to see. It was Harry, standing at the edge of the astronomy tower, crying.

"HARRY! WHAT ARE YOU DOING!"

"Draco!"

"Harry come here!"

As much as Harry wanted to, he couldn't take it anymore.

"Draco, I LOVE YOU" Harry then pushed himself off.

"HARRY!" Draco yelled, eyes blurry from tears.

He watched Harry slowly fall to the ground, getting flashbacks from dumbledore. He burst down into tears.

A terrible idea formed in his head. He got closer to the edge.

People heard Dracos scream and ran over. Watching as Draco's plan came into action.

"I love you too" was said and Draco jumped too.
