Dear my love, haven't you wanted to be with me
And dear my love, haven't you longed to be free
I can't keep pretending that I don't even know you
And at sweet night, you are my own
Take my hand
It was the night before Graduation day, and Draco knew he should be asleep, but he also knew that he wouldn't be able to sleep until he sent the letter he was writing.
Tomorrow was the last day at the place that every student currently in seventh year could've practically called home for the past seven years. It was also the last day he might be able to see the one he loved, unless he could pluck up the courage to send the letter he was writing.
You see, Draco was sending this letter to the person he'd been secretly seeing ever since the beginning of his sixth year. This was when he'd spent the summer at Hogwarts with his godfather, Severus Snape, and one other student. This was the man he'd fallen in love with. This was the man he was writing to.
'Dear Harry,
I'm writing this letter now, hoping that maybe we can be together forever. I know that you've always wanted to leave for a place where you're not constantly stared at, especially since you defeated Voldemort last summer. I want you to come with me. Run away with me, we'll run to a place where no one can recognize us and you could finally be free of the adoring eyes of hero-worshippers.
We're leaving here tonight
There's no need to tell anyone
They'd only hold us down
So by the morning light
We'll be half way to anywhere
Where love is more than just you're name
'We can leave tomorrow, after graduation. We don't have to tell anyone where we're going. We can escape and no one could hold us back. By the time they realize we're gone, we'll be halfway to anywhere you want to go. We could go to a place where we could both build a new life, unencumbered by our family names.
'I know you've lost a lot over the years, especially in the final battle, and that's one of the reasons I'm giving you this choice. I want to give you a chance to be free of the ghosts that haunt you everywhere you go. You've told me that everywhere you are you can see the ghosts of those lost in and before the final battle, and I want to help you heal. I want to help you look back on the memories of Sirius, Remus, Ron, Hermione, and the others with happiness and joy rather than sorrow and regret.
I have dreamt of a place for you and I
No one knows who we are there
All I want is to give my life only to you
I've dreamt so long I cannot dream anymore
Let's run away, I'll take you there
'We could go anywhere you're heart desires. We could travel around the world, if you so wished, playing the muggle tourists and visiting the sights you've never seen before. We could go to France, Russia, the United States, or even Australia. We could explore the world, learning and experiencing new things along the way.
I have dreamt of a place for you and I

'Or we could just find a house in a city or country and settle down and live life peacefully. We could live under new names and be happy. We could eventually adopt a child, or even several children, and raise them to be happy. We could give them the childhood neither of us was privileged with. We could give them anything and everything they wanted and we'd all be happy.
Forget this life
Come with me
Don't look back you're safe now
Unlock your heart
Drop your guard
No one's left to stop you
'You can forget this hell of a life you've lived and not look back, at least not in sorrow. You could finally unlock your heart and drop you guard. You could let people in without worrying that they just want to have met you so they could say they met you. You could be just like everyone else on the outside, and only the two of us knowing you're extraordinary past. You could be free, just like you've always wanted.
Forget this life
Come with me
Don't look back you're safe now
Unlock your heart
Drop your guard
No one's left to stop you
'I know we've only been together for two years, but I love you so much. You're my whole life Harry. Please, come with me. Run away from this hell of a world with me. We can heal each other's wounds and live a normal life. It wouldn't matter where we lived, as long as we were together, I'd be happy. I love you with all my heart and soul. I want you, Harry James Potter, to be with me forever. I, Draco Lucius Malfoy, want to be with you forever.
'If you choose to accept my proposal, then meet me by the lake tomorrow night at midnight. I'll be waiting in the secret area we found.
All my love forever,
Draco'
We're leaving here tonight

Draco put down his quill and looked over his letter. Yes, it was exactly how he wanted it. Though he knew he could never fully express his feelings for his Harry in words, he'd damn well tried his hardest. Now he just had to send it and find out the answer.
Silently, Draco stood up and walked out of the dorm room and then the Slytherin common room. He was careful to avoid Filch as he headed to the owlery. When he reached it, he called over Harry's snowy owl, Hedwig.
"I need you to deliver this to Harry tonight, okay?" Draco said, copying his loves habit of speaking to the rather intelligent owl. He tied the letter to Hedwig's leg and she gave one hoot before flying off through the window to deliver the letter to her master.
As Draco headed back to the Slytherin common rooms, he could only pray that Harry believed in him and accepted his proposal.
