There's a man. He is walking aimlessly along the street. He doesn't know where he is going, nor does he care. He left that up for fate to decide.
That man's name is Harry Potter.
You see, the reason he is like this is because he feels tired of everything. Tired of people, tired of being worshipped, tired of lying, and most of all, tired of living in a world like this.
After that faithful day, everything changes. From small things, like the way people look at him. To the big things, like the fact that some of the people he cared about is gone and they're not going to ever come back. He also felt partly responsible for said people's death.
He longed for things to go back to the way they were. No darkness, or at least they're still in the shadows. To be honest, there's always darkness lingering in the shadows. But, when the time comes, the light will always be ready to fight it.
That's just how things goes. Nobody dares to mess with the unspoken cycle, including him.
But, what he didn't like of the cycle is the fact that people think that he will defeat the darkness, that he have the answer to the universe.
But they don't know that the last time he fought the darkness is because that is his destiny. A destiny that has been written since he's just a mere baby, and it has been sealed the moment that curse rebounded off him.
And he doesn't try to fight it because innocent lives will be lost. He's also willing to bet that some of them will be people he loved. So how could he abandon them? When he have that so called "hero complex" in him.
But that doesn't mean that he will submit to that again. One time is more than enough. And besides, there's a lot people who is more powerful than him. So why did people look to him, when trouble came flying by?
He would be willing to do it when he is the only one who could do it. But when there's other people who could do that same thing, so why should he be the one to do it? Haven't he done enough?
He also regrets that he couldn't save everyone. Even though he's been told that not even Dumbledore could do that, he can't help but feel that he should have been able to did better.
But, he also knows the fact that back then he's just a teenager. It's a good thing that he even manages to save the rest of them at all.
So he wished that he could redo it all over again.
He also wished that he could be honest this time around. Maybe even try to have at least, friendship with him. Even though he wished he could have more than that.
But deep down he know that the truth is that such a thing is impossible. It's true, the truth hurts sometimes. But it's necessary.
And then he realized he seems to have stopped at the front of some library, a magical library at that. It's empty, except for the old librarian.
And then he realized that there must be a spell to travel back in time there, after all there is a time turner. And the library looks sort of old, but it also looks to be brimming with books.
So he decided to enter and test his luck. He doesn't realize that there is a pair of eyes watching him.
Meanwhile, Draco Malfoy was just strolling around the city.
He was also having similar thoughts as Harry. The difference is that he's tired of being judged, not of being worshipped.
Because, everywhere he goes, everywhere he looks there's always that demeaning or even hateful looks thrown at him. As if saying, "My loved one's life is a thousand times more important than yours. And she died. So why are you still alive, you death eater bastard?"
This is one of the times where the streets are mostly empty, and the shops are with a minimum amount of customers. So he can waltz around here without said looks being thrown his way, with no glamours.
And believe me when I said that this is one of his most cherished moments.
Because right now, he can pretend that he's just a normal guy doing whatever it is a normal guy does.
When most of the times, he'd be a death eater doing whatever it is they think a death eater would do. That's what people thought of him anyway.
Because no matter what he did people will always think that of him. As if, their minds were programmed to only be capable of one thought of him. That Draco Malfoy is "a death eater".
He could remember the good old days, where people thought of him as "the Slytherin prince", "a snake", and any other nicknames.
While he is dwelling on said issue, he was snapped back to reality when he saw a person looking as thoughtful as he is.
And upon further investigations, he realized that said person is none other than Harry Potter.
The object of Draco's affection since he understands the meaning on love. Even though being gay is considered wrong by some people, he doesn't care.
But that being said, the only people he ever told about his sexuality is Blaise and Pansy. And he never told anyone about his obsessions with Potter. Or upon further discovery, love.
That aside, it seems that Potter is walking into some kind of library. So he decided to follow him. I mean, you saw someone you're in love with walking into some library. Of course you'll follow them in.
