To the one I love

Chapter one - Stolen kiss

It would seem to be a miracle if he knew I loved him and even more so if he loved me in return. I see his emerald eyes glistening like gems in the morning light, his raven hair shinning beautifully as he talks to his friends. I sometimes wonder does he notice how much of my attention he has because even I don't.

It was in potions today Snape my godfather noticed where my mind lay and the stupid bastard paired us up. It is right to say that we didn't get much work done but not for the reasons I would have liked, it is hard to say who started on who but you can imagine what happened and it pains me to say it but once again we fought.

It is late now long past midnight and the troubles of the day haunt me so much so sleep does not reach me. I decide on a walk it can't hurt unless I'm caught so I take my invisibility cloak and I sneak out of the Slytherin part of the dungeons.

I often do this when I can not sleep I usually wander up to the astronomy tower to stare aimlessly at the stars naming them all after my angel. Tonight however when I reached my destination I could tell I was not alone even though I could not see my companion and luckily they could not see me.

I smiled I knew of only one other person who owned an invisibility cloak apart from me in this castle it was Harry it had to be. I watched carefully waiting patiently for the moment where he moved so I could tell his position. However effective these cloaks were if you were looking for someone wearing one you would be able to find them. Then it came I stepped forward sliding it off his slender body.

He gasped falling to the floor a look of terror etched upon his face. I let my own cloak fall to the ground the shocked look faded from his face and was replaced with a mixture of what I thought might possibly be delight and I could certainly see annoyance.

"What do you think you're doing here Malfoy?" He asked trying to sound disgusted however it hadn't worked it sounded curious.

"Taking a walk and you." I replied trying to hide my emotions towards the smaller boy still on the floor. I extended my hand to help him up as it was all I could do to stop the urge to throw myself on top of him. I was over-joyed at the fact he accepted and allowed me to help him up.

"Same." He mumbled.

"What's your reason then?" I asked.

"Well...my...err...my boyfriend well he dumped me today." Harry mumbled. It was the best news I had heard all day he was gay and single.

"Why? I can never imagine any one crazy enough to do that." I said before I could stop myself he just starred at me blankly, trying to figure out what I had just said.

"Any way why do you care Malfoy?" He spat, his voice full of hatred as he picked up his cloak from the floor, god he had a nice arse.

"I don't know, but I do." I said, I had to tell him even if he rejected me I had to there was no way I found myself thinking that I couldn't live another day without him knowing.

"What are you saying?"

"Harry don't you get it?"

"Ok since when did you call me Harry, Malfoy?"

"Since, since the, the day I found out... my true feelings towards you." It was suddenly a lot harder to say than I ever imagined it to be, but I was determined.

"Err...Draco?"

"I know you don't have to say it I'll just leave sorry I interrupted your walk." My life had just become pointless without the hope that Harry may feel anything other than hatred for me, there was no point in living anymore not without him!

"Wait, don't go!" His angelic voice called. I couldn't believe it he didn't hate me for what I had just said. "Stay with me it gets lonely up here at night." His voice was so quite as he said this but his words meant the world to me.

I didn't say anything it wasn't needed I stepped forward and sat on the windowsill looking up at the velvet night sky. He came and sat next to me moments later. I reached for his hand not knowing what his reaction would be but he just edged closer to me until he was leaning his back on my chest my arms wrapped tightly round his tiny waist. It was perfect.

It didn't take long for me to build up the courage to kiss him. As he looked up at me to say something I leaned forward catching his lips in a fiery kiss halting his words. I eagerly explored his mouth while he surprised me by doing the same. My fingers snaked their way through his silky hair as one of his hand's cupped my cheek. When we parted from each other he looked slightly flushed and ashamed. "I'm sorry I've got to go."

"Harry, wait, please don't go." I said grabbing his wrist preventing him from leaving the room. "What's wrong?" I asked him tears had begun to form in his eyes. The moment had been so perfect and I had ruined it but acting the idiot I was born.

"I don't love you."

I was in shock from his words my grip loosened and he ran from the tower. It was unbelievable I had kissed him, it had been the most amazing thing but now I would never see him again not like this any way but he will always know that I love him because love lasts forever.
