Draco's POV~

It was raining the night he found me; Curled up, broken, and bleeding in the Perfect's bathroom. My so called "friends" had left me in the corner, laughing as they shut the door.

"Malfoy?" He called, kneeling down beside me.

I couldn't find the strength to respond.

"What happened to you?" He whispered.

Still I lay there, not moving, just watching him.

"May I heal you?"

I gave him a simple nod, which sent a wave of pain through me. As he muttered strong healing spells I could feel the warmth wash over me.

Finally he finished and laid a gentle hand on my cheek. With the last ounce of strength I had, I looked into his bright green eyes and smiled.

"Thank you…Harry."

With that I faded into unconsciousness.

Harry's POV~

I watched him sleep, even when in pain he was gorgeous. Tenderly I stroked his hair, brushing the loose strands back. He stirred and slowly opened his eyes. Seeing me he jumped a little and looked around.

"Where am I?" His voice still hoarse.

"In my room."

His eyes jerked to mine.

"W-why?"

I sighed and sat down on my bed.

"I know who did that to you; figured the Slytherin dorms weren't safe and didn't want to leave you in the bathroom."

He watched me warily, his steely blue-gray eyes glued to mine.

"W-why are you h-helping m-me?" His stuttering was becoming more evident.

"Draco… you know why I am helping you."

His eyes widened his fear evident. Too quickly he covered it up with a smirk.

"Have a crush on me, do you?" His voice still shaking slightly.

"No." I answered truthfully.

His face furrowed in confusion.

"I do not have a school yard crush on you, Draco. I've been in love with you for a while now."

Suddenly he was out of the bed and on the floor. He had tried to bolt from the room, but his body was too weak. I went around the bed to help him up.

"Don't touch me!" He screeched.

I flinched at the fear in his voice. He struggled to get up and ended up falling onto the bed, haphazardly.

"I'm sorry." I whispered and turned to leave.

His timid voice filled my ears, "W-why me?"

I didn't turn back.

"Love needs no reason…"

"Don't give me that! Why me?" Anger seeping into his voice.

This time I turn back.

"Then I can't answer you."

Draco watched me then lay back on my bed. When his breathing steadied I realized he had fallen asleep.

Draco's POV

I could tell I was dreaming from the start, the empty house with not a sound echoing through it was a dead give-a-way. Usually you would hear doors slamming and my parents yelling at each other.

Shifting I felt no pain and saw no more bruises. Quickly I sat up and stood, fully prepared to fall.

"Draco, love; could you bring me the soap?" A familiar voice called.

I could hear the water running now, along with an occasion al splash.

Uncertain, I hesitated beside the soap bottle. "Midnight Pomegranate" it said, but I was still confused. Quietly I picked up the bottle and opened the bathroom door.

When the door opened I was hit with a face full of steam.

"Over here, love."

A light tan hand reached between the glass and opened the sliding doors. I stopped and waited for the steam to clear. As it fanned out I started to recognize the shape.

Bright green eyes met mine and he smiled.

"Draco…" He purred, "It's not nice to stare."

Coming forward he grabbed the soap and kissed me gently. The spark that went through me made me shiver despite the warm, damp air. Backing away, he smiled, and took my hand. I was dragged under the hot jets, boxers and all. Harry pushed me against the wall and kissed me again, making me shiver and moan under his touch.

I felt his hand trail up my thigh and gently tugged at my waist band, eagerly I helped him by pushing them down gently. He broke the kiss to grasp my rock-hard shaft; I bucked into him and moaned.

"Gorgeous." He murmured into my neck.

I gasped as he bit into my neck, the simple action sent shivers down my body. I could feel him grin into my neck.

"Draco…" He purred.

Harry's POV~

Watching him moan and gasp in his sleep almost took me over the edge. I watched as he shivered and panted. It had been 2 hours since this had begun. I was beginning to wonder if he was ever going to wake. Suddenly his eyes flew open and his back arched.

His scream ran throughout my body and landed at the tip of my pulsing erection. Luckily I was covered my loose Tripp pants. His eyes met mine and I could see the lust was still there.

"Why are you watching me, Harry?" His hoarse voice sent shivers down my back.

I smirked, "You talked."

His eyes widened in fear, "Wh-what did I say?"

"Oh, it wasn't words so much, it was more of…sounds."

This time Draco smirked at me and trailed his eyes down to my lap.

"Looks like you enjoyed it."

I glanced down and saw my pants had…deflated in a way. My problem was painfully obvious now.

Not missing a beat I smiled at him, "Want to help me with it?"

His eyes sparkled, making me curious as to what he dreamed about.

"You wish."

I got up and walked over to my bed. Draco's eyes widened as I kneeled on the bed and got close to him.

"I don't think I am the only one." I whispered.

I placed a gentle hand over his growing erection and rubbed, pleased when he arched into my hand. Gently I placed kisses on his neck, trailing down till I reached his collarbone. Gently I sucked and nibbled at the bone, making him moan even louder. Backing away I looked at his lust filled grey eyes and smiled.

"Now you are marked as mine."

As suddenly as it had begun, it was over. Draco was half-way across the room, breathing heavily and the look of pure fear on his face.

"Wh-what happened?" I said, trying to hide my disappointment.

Draco just watched me and fell to the floor. He curled up in a ball and started to shake.

"Draco?"

I could hear his sobs now.

"Just leave me alone." He voice was barely a whisper.

"But-"

"Please go…"

I sighed and went into the bathroom; before I exited the adjoining door I heard a shriek escape his lungs. Knowing he wasn't in any real danger I sighed and sat down on the cold stones.

Draco's POV~

What did I do? I'd had a crush on Harry since the fourth year, and here he was willing and bold. Still I couldn't control myself. I ran again.

Stubborn, I stood and pulled on pants before going out in hall. Looking down I saw him curled up against the wall; asleep. My breath hitched in my throat and I felt an unfamiliar tug at my belly button. He was…angelic.

Smiling I bent down and gently slipped my arms around him. He stirred slightly and nuzzled my neck, sending shivers down my spine. Taking a deep breath I walked back through the doors and laid him on the bed. He whimpered slightly, and moved restlessly. Gently I laid a hand on his cheek and the whimpering and moving stopped.

I couldn't help but smile, he needed me…in a way. Quickly stripping down to boxers I curled up next to him and wrapped my arms around him. I heard him sigh and nuzzle my neck.

"Mmmmn, g' night Draco." He murmured.

I laughed softly; of course he was awake the whole time. Holding him tighter I finally drifted off into a peaceful sleep.

Harry's POV~

I woke up to a gentle breath flowing over my neck. I shivered and peaked to see Draco sleeping peacefully, curled up against me. Smiling, I gently stroked his cheek with my thumb. He stirred and rolled over, making me frown and sigh.

Reluctantly I went into the bathroom and gently shut the door. Leaning against it, I sighed again and smiled. Even when sleeping, Draco could make it hard for me to breath.

Turning I turned on the shower and stripped. I shivered as I climbed in the warm water. I could hear Draco tossing in the room and step on the floor. Smiling, I washed; careful not to egg-on how much he had frustrated me.

Stepping out of the shower I grabbed a towel, which was conveniently beside me. Drying my face I turned and saw Draco smirking at me. I jumped and covered myself with the towel.

"Do you even know what knocking is?" I shrieked.

He smiled, "I do, but that doesn't mean I abide by it."

Chuckling I weaved past him and into the room. I spent a few moments riffling through my drawers until I found my uniform.

Coming up behind me he ran his hand down my arm.

"Why are you getting out your uniform?"

I shivered and turned to him, "It is Monday, Draco."

Looking up I saw that he was inches from me. My breath hitched in my throat and I couldn't seem to find my breath. Quickly I covered up how nervous I was and smirked.

"Going to do something?"

Draco watched me for a moment then sighed. As he backed away I tried not to look disappointed. That was the closest he had gotten to me when we were both awake.

"That's what I thought."

Draco gave me a look that said 'Don't even try to pretend' and sat on my bed.

I turned and began to pull on my pants when he finally spoke.

"What do you want me to do?"

Buttoning my pants I turned and dropped the towel.

"What do you mean?" I asked, bending down to get my shirt.

"You asked me if I was going to do something… What do you want me to do?"

I sighed and smiled at him.

"Nothing."

"Something, now tell me."

I slipped the last button into place and grabbed my tie.

"No."

"Why not?"

Draco came over and gently smacked my hands out of the way, seeing the trouble I was having. He smiled and started to tie the knot.

I watched him for a while; until he was satisfied it looked okay. As his eyes traveled from my neck to my face I felt another shiver go down my back.

"Because if you can't figure it out then it isn't worth the price."

"What price?"

"The price of my heart…" I whispered.

He stopped at that, and openly stared at me.

"I won't hurt you, you know."

I gently took his hand from my tie and smiled.

"You already have."

I walked over to my bed and sat down; pulling on my socks and shoes. My heart was hammering in my chest, afraid he would leave, knowing he would.

"I'm sorry."

I heard him whisper before the door shut behind him. I tried not to cry, knowing I would get asked too many questions. Sighing I got up and headed out the other door, eager for food.

Draco's POV~

He was purposely egging me on! It took all my self control not to slam him against his dresser and snog the bloody hell out of him.

I grumbled at a couple of first years who stared at me.

"What the bloody hell are you looking at?" I sneered

One of the girls giggled while the other pointed to my chest. Looking down I noticed I had forgotten my shirt.

Suddenly a soft cloth was laid over my shoulders. Turning I saw Blaise smirking at me with my tie in his hand.

"Found these in the bathroom."

I cringed and nodded at him as I buttoned up my shirt.

"Since when do you forget your clothes?" He asked when I didn't provide an answer.

"Since you sent your drones to kick my arse."

Blaise's face dropped, "How did you know it was me?"

I scoffed at him, "Your drones aren't very smart. When they left they were laughing about if you would approve of how beat up I was."

His demeanor changed instantly, his face going from soft and sweet; to hard and cruel.

"Maybe next time you will think twice before telling me that 'you would rather chase after someone you love than deal with someone you don't'."

"Blaise… you knew from the start that I didn't love you." I sighed.

Blaise snarled at me. "Just because you told me back then doesn't mean I accept it now."

I looked at him and saw the pain in his eyes.

"Blaise… I will not allow you to bully me into staying with you. You can hurt me like you did before, but I am not coming back to you."

The halls had emptied by now and my words bounced off the walls. The pain in his eyes was mixed with anger now. He violently shoved me against the wall and placed his hands on either side of my head.

"Listen to me Draco." Venom seeped into his voice, "I want you, and that means that I get you."

I laughed at him as he took on the Malfoy persona.

"You don't always get what you want Zabini." A strong voice sounded behind us.

His eyes widened and he slowly turned his head to look behind him. Straining to see who it was I caught a glimpse of dark unruly hair and Gryffindor robes. Blaise dropped his hands to his sides and turned to face Harry fully.

"Stay out of this Potter. This doesn't involve you!" He hissed.

Quietly I snaked out from behind him and stood beside Harry. Blaise's eyes flicked between us in disbelief.

"So, you've converted to the light side have you Draco?"

I remained silent and looked at the ground. Harry spoke up with venom in his voice.

"Save it Zabini. You are just jealous he doesn't want you anymore."

I tried not to smile, knowing it would set him off.

"Fuck you Potter! Like I care who that slut bloody well wants."

All of the sudden Harry had Blaise pinned to the wall. Harry's forearm was pressed against Blaise's neck, clearly making it hard for him to breath.

"Watch what you say Zabini. One day you might find yourself in deeper shit then you can crawl out of."

Harry let him go and Blaise crashed to the floor, gasping for breath. Turning Harry grabbed my hand and pulled me down the hall. I had to bounce to keep up with him as he pulled us into an empty classroom. He let go of my hand and started pacing back and forth.

"Harry?" I whispered afraid he was mad.

He stopped and looked at me. Sighing he walked towards where I was leaning against the wall.

"Why was he doing that to you?"

I looked at the floor; it was hard to avoid looking at him since he was directly in front of me.

"I-I don't know."

He placed his hand beneath my chin and made me look at him. As soon as my eyes meet his I found I couldn't breath right.

"Draco, why did you act so scared around me before?"

I looked at him and smiled sadly.

"Blaise and I were together for a year before I broke up with him two weeks ago."

Harry tilted my face up more and looked at me sadly.

"That doesn't explain anything."

His breath flowed over my neck and sent shivers down my spine.

"W-when we were together he said that I-I was his slave. If I misbehaved I got p-punished, and sometimes i-if he got angry over something I would get punished again." I whispered.

Harry frowned at me and his hand fell from my chin. I tried to hide my disappointment but he caught on quick. Smiling he placed his hand on my cheek gently and leaned his forehead against mine.

"So needy." He whispered.

I smirked and leaned against him.

"Maybe, but does that mean you'll tell me what you wanted this morning?"

Harry stiffened slightly and leaned away from me. He watched me carefully for a moment before sighing.

"I wanted this."

With that he leaned down and gently pressed his lips to mine. I gasped at the spark that flowed through me and leaned against him again. I felt his tongue glide across my bottom lip and I opened up to allow him in. Our tongues danced together, searching for dominance until I let him completely take over me.

After a minute we reluctantly separated and stood panting for breath.

"…Harry."

He looked at me and smiled nervously.

"W-was…" He trailed off nervously.

I smiled at him and grabbed his shirt, pulling him closer to me. This time, our kiss wasn't slow; instead it was rough and passionate.

Harry moaned and pressed his hips into mine making me shiver. Suddenly I had a flash that it was Blaise not Harry kissing me. I shoved him back violently and shrank into a ball.

"S-sorry." I stuttered.

Harry's POV~

I had to catch myself on a desk after the force of Draco's shove. I heard him stutter an apology and saw him shirk down into a ball.

"Draco? What happened?"

I kneeled down beside him and tried to comfort him without touching him.

"S-sorry."

"What is it?"

He just shook his head and rocked back against the wall until his head was hitting it. Sighing I placed my hand behind his head to stop the force of it.

"Talk to me." I pleaded.

"Just Leave it alone."

I shook my head and sat down beside him. We fell into a comfortable silence and Draco eventually leaned on me. I gently stroked his soft, blonde hair and sang softly to calm him…

"I've been dreaming for so long,
to find a meaning to understand.
The secret of life,
why am I here to try again?

Will I always, will you always
see the truth when it stares you in the face?
Will I ever, will I never free myself
by breaking these chains?

I'd give my heart, I'd give my soul.
I'd turn it back, it's my fault.
Your destiny is forlorn;
have to live till it's undone.
I'd give my heart, I'd give my soul.
I'd turn it back and then at last I'll be on my way.

I've been living for so long;
many seasons have passed me by.
I've seen kingdoms through ages
rise and fall, I've seen it all.

I've seen the horror; I've seen the wonders
happening just in front of my eyes.
Will I ever, will I never free myself by making it right?"

Slowly I started to hum the end and slowly stopped. Draco's breathing had evened out and he was no longer shaking.

"You have a beautiful voice." He whispered.

I smiled; "She is so much better than me."

He looked at me in confusion.

"The woman who really sings that song sings so much better than I do. I changed the tone to fit my voice, I could never sing like her."

"What song was that?"

"Jillian By Within Temptation. The woman who sings it is Sharon Janny den Adel."

We fell back into silence for a few moments before he spoke.

"I'm sorry Harry."

I small shiver went down my spine at the use of my name.

"You have nothing to be sorry for." I insisted.
