The Choice

Prequel to Let Me Guess and Forever. Harry and Draco have been secretly dating for years, but when things get dangerous in their seventh year, Harry gives Draco a choice. Drabble.

"You're asking me to choose." The question sounded like a statement. And it unnerved Harry.

"I'm not asking you to choose between me and your family, I'm asking you to think about what you're getting yourself into." Harry said.

He sat on the railing of the Astronomy Tower, trying to avoid Draco's eyes.

"You know," the Malfoy drawled, "If you want to ditch me, you only need to say so,"

"What? You think I'm trying to dump you? Never!" Harry cried.

Draco grinned. "I knew you weren't, I just needed to hear you say it." He said coming to sit beside Harry.

"Look, I knew what I was doing when we started this, just because I'm now a Death Eater and in the thick of things and it's dangerous, does not mean I want to stop this," he said.

"But you could be killed. It's different now, I'm Undesirable #1, and I don't want any more people getting hurt by being with me," awant any more people getting hurt by being with me,"st because I'rry gives Draco a choice.

things up.

seventhHarry argued.

Draco smiled. "Well I've always thought you were Desirable #1 but…" his attempt at humour brought a small smile to Harry's face, then it dropped.

Draco sighed, "Harry. I don't care, okay? Listen to me I don't care,"

Harry looked at him for a long time. "It's dangerous." He pointed out.

"What isn't these days?"

"If someone were to find out…"

"Then I'll join Neville and Luna in the DA, no problem, since you won't let me come with you and Hermonie and Ron. I don't care about my parents either so don't start," Draco said dismissively.

Harry was silent for what seemed like forever, then sighed.

"Okay then, okay you win." He said in defeat.

"Aw Harry, you sound as though you want me to go," Draco teased.

"So I'll see you when all Hell breaks loose huh? Or a little bit before that when you kill Him?"

"One of the two, depending on our success." Harry said.

"Well I'll see you then. I love you," Draco kissed him.

"I love you too. Now get back before you're missed," Harry replied.

"Okay, okay I'm going, bye!" Draco went back down to the castle, and Harry got on his broomstick, and headed out to meet Ron and Hermonie.

He had no idea when he'd see Draco again.
