Harry Potter has had a crush on Draco Malfoy since they first met in Madam Malkin's. In the beginning, Harry put his fascination in the other boy down to Draco being the first wizard child that Harry had ever met. Going into 3rd year, that excuse is no longer valid. He tried to suppress the feelings that he had towards the Slytherin, but he can't manage it. It just comes across as half-hearted hatred. Let's not forget about his abusive relatives who have created their own brand of hell for Harry to deal with every summer. Add that to the looming threat of Voldemort and the constant threat of danger. What could possibly go wrong? * * * Draco Malfoy has come to realise that he has feelings -other than pure hatred- for none other than the Boy-Who-Lived. Unfortunately, it completely contradicts the brain washing that Lucius has done on his son. Ever since Draco could remember, his father has informed him that he must marry a Pureblood witch of his choosing and produce an heir. Being in love with a boy and the enemy of the Dark Lord at that, has no place in the plan laid out for Draco. Now Draco must decide if he will confront the urge to protect and love Harry or cast them aside for the approval from his family. Will the boys be able to heal their wounds over time, or will they need each other?
