'Move in with me?' Draco said casually.
Harry looked up in surprise. 'what?'
'I said would you move in with me?' he repeated
'No I heard the question, I wasn't sure I understood it.' Harry said slowly
Draco turned to him exasperatedly 'Will you please just answer the question?'
'No.' Harry said with out looking up again
'Why won't you just answer my question?' Draco said, frustration evident in his voice.
'No, I won't move in with you.'
'No? Why not?'
'Your cupboard.'
'My what?' Draco said, frustration switching to bewilderment. 'What's wrong with my cupboard? And which one?'
'The one under your stairs.'
'What's wrong with it?'
'Its under your stairs.' Harry said, as if this were the only answer Draco needed.
'I hadn't noticed.' Sarcasm leaked from his voice.
'Tell you what. If you want to move some were else. I'll move with you.'
'Ok.'
Several months later.
'Are you ever going to tell me why you couldn't live with a cupboard under the stairs?'
'I didn't, I don't, no.' Harry stuttered, not looking at the other boy.
'Harry? What's the mater?' Draco said in concern, crossing the room to stand in front of the other boy.
'I don't want to talk about, please.' Harry said looking away.
'Won't you please just tell me?' Draco said, crouching down to look in the other boy's eyes.
'No.' Harry said looking away again.
'Please Harry.' Draco said, gently brushing the other boys bangs.
'I don't want to live, I don't want to, I can't, it's to.' Harry stuttered, gentle tears seeping from his closed eyes.
'Harry?' Draco said, wrapping his arms around the smaller boy.
'It would make me remember.' He whispered.
'Remember what?' Draco tried to say with out sounding harsh.
'Remember, remember.' Harry trailed off.
'Please just tell me. I love you Harry, you can trust me.' He said pulling the other boy in to a hug.
'I, I,' he stuttered. 'I love you too.' He mumbled.
'Please just answer my question, or at least clue me in a little bit.' Draco said, still holding the other boy close.
'I, they,' he took a shaky breath, 'you're the first person who ever loved me.' He mumbled. 'My aunt and uncle. They, you know there muggles right?' Harry choked out shakily.
'And I always will. Yes, I know your aunt and uncle are muggles.'
'Well, some wizards don't like muggles. Well some muggles don't like wizards.' Harry said, his face buried in Draco's shirt.
'Harry?'
'They hated me. All of them.'
'Oh.' Draco said in surprise. 'Oh Harry, I'm sorry. Is that why you never went home for Christmas?'
'Yes.'
'Harry?' Draco pulled Harry's face up and looked in to his eyes. 'Did they keep you the cupboard under the stairs?' Harry nodded, and Draco pulled him in to another hug. 'I'm so sorry. I love you. And I always will.'
'You're the first person I've told.' Harry whispered. 'I love you too.'
