Regret
It was February 14th, 2007.
What significance did this hold? Well, for starters it was Valentines day. It was Salazar Slytherin's birthday as well as the current Minister of Magic's birthday.
It was also the day Blaise Zabini had proposed to Harry Potter in front of the entire Ministry. But most importantly, it had been the day Draco Malfoy had made the biggest mistake of his life.
He had lost Harry, his boyfriend of five years.
He had cheated.
Now, he didn't know why he did it. At the time, however, he had claimed Harry had been smothering him, that it had been just a fling and that he didn't care about the other male. They had been lies, big, fat lies, but they had just spewed out of his mouth while he watched, unable to stop himself. He had cheated on his boyfriend on Valentines day and then lied to his face and blamed him for it.
And he hated himself. He hated that he had given up the most precious thing in the world because of his own selfishness, his own idiocy.
Harry had been devastated.
And he had just brushed it off at the time. He had acted like he didn't care so much he believed it. Until he saw Harry on the arm of Blaise Zabini, that is. It had been three months after their break up and he had first saw them on Magic's Sexiest Couples, replacing the front page that had previously held his and Harry's picture. They had been locked in a deep kiss, not paying the slightest attention to anyone other than the one in their arms.
And then it had been him who was devastated.
Shaking his head as if to clear his thoughts, Draco sighed as he watched Harry gasp and immediately scream yes to his lover's question, throwing himself at the dark skinned male with a cry of happiness, before turning his back on the both breathtakingly beautiful, and breathtakingly painful scene as he once again flooed to an empty home and an empty bed with a hollowed heart.
February 14th, 2007.
It was the day that would forever haunt Draco Malfoy as the day he would always regret.
