Walking Away
It was a dark day; the clouds were heavy with rain that was ready to fall. It reflected Harry's mood perfectly. He was confused. It was his 6th year at Hogwarts, Dumbledore had been telling him about Horcruxes, Snape being the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher wasn't that great and Draco, was avoiding him.
He sighed. He needed to talk to Draco. Draco had been acting strangely lately. Harry usually wouldn't have given a damn about Draco and what was up with him, but things had changed between the boys. He supposed you could say that they had forgotten their rivalries, but that was far from the truth. The truth was, the line between love and hate was so thin, that the boys had broken it. And now, the hate they bore for each other was strengthened by love.
Harry pulled out the Marauders Map. He searched until he found Draco's name. He watched as the small dot paced the Slytherin Dormitory. Harry stood up as soon as he saw the Slytherin leave the dormitory and common room.
The dot was moving fast, as if Draco was running. Following where the dot was going, Harry ran as well until he finally spotted Draco on the seventh floor. Harry grabbed the Slytherin's wrist. As Draco turned to see who was grabbing him, the sleeve of his white school shirt came up, revealing a Dark Mark. Harry's suspicions were confirmed. He felt tears welling up in his eyes, but he forced them not to fall.
Draco took Harry's hand as Harry turned to run away, and Harry reluctantly let himself be dragged to the Room of Requirement. When they entered the room, Harry saw that it was a large empty area, so unlike the many rooms Harry had seen the Room of Requirement turn into before.
Draco stared at Harry, wondering where to begin. He sighed and began by saying, "I can explain."
"Please do," Harry retorted. Draco could feel the anger beginning to swell inside Harry. The anger that was trying to cover up the hurt.
"I…" Draco began, "I was forced to become a Death Eater. I had no choice." He paused. If he was going to tell Harry this, he was going to tell Harry everything. "The Dark Lord is going to kill me if I don't succeed in killing our current Headmaster," Draco finished in a whisper.
At first, Harry's eyes filled with shock, then anger, then concern. But he quickly masked his feelings, letting the anger take over his body. Instead of yelling, screaming, or fighting, however, Harry stared stonily at the blonde Death Eater. Draco looked hurt, his imploring grey eyes were begging for forgiveness, but Harry refused to give in.
"I love you," Draco whispered. It was the first time he had said it out loud and he meant it.
The three simple words caught Harry off guard. He was about to repeat the words, about to tell Draco he loved him too, when he once again, caught sight of the blonde's Dark Mark.
"I know you do," Harry said flatly, before he stormed out of the Room of Requirement. Alone.
A/N: I had a really good idea for the beginning of this Drarry, but I'm not so sure where I will go with it. Please Rate and Review, it will be much appreciated. Also, this is only the first chapter but seeing as I am not sure where to go with it, it probably won't be updated for a while. Please leave me a review or send me a message if you have an idea of what should happen next, or if you want something to be included in the next chapter (such as a fight scene or a kissing scene). Thanks! Hearts, erinmalfoy
