The bottle landed on Harry. Pansy's face lit up with an evil grin,

"Truth or dare?"

Harry swallowed nervously,

"Dare?!"

Her smile simply turned more evil. Harry's eyes widened and she said,

"I dare you to go into the cupboard with Draco for five minutes."

Harry sighed in relief. She continued,

"Naked."

He choked on the breath he was holding and let out a type of squeal. Then he turned to Draco across the circle. Draco said instantly,

"NO WAY! This is Potter's dare. You cannot involve me."

Pansy turned to Hermione,

"What are the rules dear? Do they allow this?"

Hermione paused for a second and Harry felt relief for the second time in as many minutes.

Then it shattered.

"I believe it is allowed."

The others started to grin and Harry finally found his voice,

"No. No way. Not happening. Not a chance. No way in hell am I... Nu uh. No-"

Ron interrupted,

"Would you rather face the penalty?"

Harry blanched. Draco spoke up,

"I AM STILL NOT DOING THIS! NO CHANCE IN HELL AM I DOING THIS!"

Ron said simply,

"Would you rather face the penalty?"

Draco stopped, pouted. He murmured,

"This is so unfair."

Harry paused. There was a silence in the group as they waited for the verdict. Finally Harry said,

"Well there is no way I'm getting naked in front of all of you."

Hermione eyed them wickedly,

"Because of the spell cast before if you do not get naked, with Draco, in the cupboard before two minutes you will face the penalty."

Harry gulped. No way was he facing the penalty. He sighed,

"Okay Malfoy, come on. Let's get naked together."

They both immediately blushed and the group let out a laugh. Draco hesitantly stood and they both made their way to the cupboard.

They slipped inside and started to remove their clothes with a sense of familiarity. Then they both sat down in the dark staring into each other's bright eyes.

Harry started to hyperventilate.

Draco said,

"Harry... Are you okay?"

He closed his eyes tight and Draco realised what had happened.

This was just like the cupboard from the Dursleys.

Where he was starved.

Where he was forgotten.

Where he was a freak.

He said,

"Harry, come out of it, you're not back there. You're here with me. Its Draco. You're okay. Open your eyes."

Harry opened them.

"Look at me."

He looked at him a rising sense of fear encompassing him.

"Breathe."

Harry tried and failed.

He was back there again. He was back in the cupboard. He was alone and a freak and nobody cared and- Harry. I'm right here. Stay with me. What can I do to bring you back?

Harry stared into the eyes of his boyfriend. Draco Malfoy. They had been dating in secret for two years now. Nobody noticed. Nobody wanted to notice. Draco knew all his deepest darkest secrets. He knew about his past. The scars on his back. The hunger in his stomach. His fear of the dark. And Harry knew Draco's. That voice in Draco's head that said he wasn't good enough. That called him a Death Eater. That wanted him dead. That tricked him.

The voice of depression.

Harry used to know that voice. He used to know it as well as Draco. But then he got better. Then he stopped his flashbacks and he started to recover but now...

He's back in the cupboard.

Suddenly he felt a hand on his cheek. His eyes opened again to look into that mist of grey. Draco's voice penetrated his consciousness.

"I love you Harry. We'll be okay. You're not back there. We can't leave just yet because of the penalty but you're not back there. You're with me and you're safe and you're loved. Just look at me Harry. Just look at me."

Harry leaned into kiss him. Draco met his lips and they protected each other.

It was no longer a games night in eight year. It was their lives which were way too close to the darkness. They dragged each other away. They saved each other from their own voices.

They loved.

They kissed.

They held each other when the tears wouldn't stop.

They didn't see the door open and the light flood in.

Hermione gasped,

"Harry?"

Harry pulled away, eyes adjusting to the light, and rested his head on Draco's shoulder. He said quietly,

"Oh yeah. We should probably tell you guys that Draco and I are dating."

Thud. Ron fainted.
