Summary: Draco Malfoy didn't know anything about love, Harry concluded. The reason as to why he was giving him a chance was beyond his own understanding, but now it seems that Draco is the one teaching Harry how to love. Draco/Harry

Rice-Ball247: I present to you my newest Drarry, since 'Can I?' was well-received, in my opinion. We're in for a multi-chapered one! And I do believe this may be my first one to be completed, ever. -nudge nudge hint hint-

Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter and any characters involved. They belong to JK Rowling and any others involved in the copyright. Note, that does not include me.

So without further adieu, I present to you, Love Is Indispensable. I promise, the next chapter will be up ASAP, since they're mostly short chapters, but anyway...

At first, Harry had thought someone had put one of Professor Sprout's fuzzy, pink earmuffs over his ears. Then he dismissed the notion of having too much of the Weasley twins' 'instant earwax' candy (it did taste good, despite the name).

The temptation of believing that this was a practical joke was so great, Harry felt compelled to yell out 'accio cameras!'. But no, instead, he settled for an expression of incredulousness, eyes rimmed with disbelief and mouth frowning with scepticism.

"I do," the young man in front of him swore, face angry with frustration and hurt. "I do love you, Harry."

It took all of his willpower to not shake his head and walk away. Instead, Harry stood his ground and sighed, running a hand through his unruly hair. Come on, this was Draco Malfoy he was dealing with. If Draco suddenly came up to you and confessed his undying love and affections, how was one supposed to react? Scratch that – if Draco Malfoy came up to Harry Potter and confessed, what would Harry do?

It seemed cruel, the thought of it, but Harry did not love Draco. Anyone operating under the misconception that he was in love with the Malfoy heir was a fool. Because despite everything that he'd been told about love, about its power and its everlastingness, Harry wasn't going to allow himself to be lulled into a false sense of security. The Dark Lord, Voldemort, may have been eradicated from all aspects of existence, but Harry would be weary, always on guard.

After all, what would Draco Malfoy, son of ex-death eater, Lucius Malfoy, number one rival to Harry Potter and professional arsehole, know about love? Harry scoffed at the thought. Perish it. Damn the notion to hell. Draco Malfoy didn't know anything about love, Harry concluded.

Yet the reason as to why he was giving him a chance was beyond his own understanding.

That's the prologue. So tell me if you liked it (or disliked it, hopefully not...). The next chapter will probably be up tomorrow or the next day, because this week is our schools err...orientation week and things get rather busy.
