Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter.
I know that in my last fanfiction 'Quill's Accident' I said that I was working on another Guardian's of the Galaxy fanfic, but whilst that is true, I doubt it will be posted anytime soon as I have gotten back into the Harry Potter fandom (as you can see).
BIT OF BACKGROUND INFO: Anyway, hope you enjoy this, it is set in the eighth year so after the war and all that stuff, Draco and Harry have also been together since the Battle of Hogwarts, but they have been in love for ages.
Some people who died in canon might still be alive, I'll mention it in the chapters if they are obviously, speaking of which Snape will be alive and nicer as he hasn't got the burden of working for both sides on his shoulders.
WARNINGS: Self-harm, depression, starving one's self, swearing, mention of abuse.
Key:
Books(not the actual ones just ones I have made up),
letters,
"speech",
'thoughts'
"Hey Draco!" Harry said as he pecked his boyfriend's cheek, Draco smiled at the boy but his smile didn't reach his eyes.
"Harry, I need to talk to you," Draco mumbled into the smaller boys hair, his grey eyes surveyed the Great Hall and as he noticed everyone was watching them, he added, "in private."
"Sure Draco," Harry replied as he took the blonde's hand and led him outside.
"What's wrong Drake?" Draco loved Harry's 'nickname' for him, so by using it, Harry had unknowingly made this situation more difficult for Draco.
Draco led them further away from the Great Hall until they were outside on the grounds of Hogwarts. They stood in silence staring at each other for a few minutes as the cold wind slapped against them every so often. Harry broke the silence by going to touch Draco's pink cheek, he, however, was not expecting his hand to be slapped away by the blonde.
"Draco?" Harry said hesitantly.
Willing himself to not look into Harry's gorgeous, innocent, emerald eyes and stumble over his words. Draco spoke, the cruel tone was one that Harry hadn't heard in a long time.
"We're over."
"What?" Harry croaked out as he tried to keep the tears that so desperately wished to fall back, "Why?"
"Because I hate you. You were simply a toy to play with. You are so innocent making it so easy to fool and manipulate you. So desperate for love, something you don't know about, making it all the easier to fool you. Be realistic Potter, who would want to date such a broken, foolish boy." Draco sneered before walking away. He didn't once look back to the boy he had broken, he was unable to see Harry's heartbroken face and tearful emeralds.
Draco waited until he was in the safety of his dorm before he put up a silencing spell around his bed and collapsed on it. Then he broke down. Sobbing behind closed curtains, none of his heart-shattering sobs could be heard by his roommates, who later came in not bothering the bawling boy.
Draco managed to cry himself to sleep clutching a piece of parchment that contained elegant, cursive writing of words that had caused Draco to break up with the one person he loved more than anything.
After Draco walked away, leaving Harry heartbroken and confused on the grounds, the boy had remained in the whipping wind paralysed. Only when the sky had begun to growl and cry did Harry move. The wet boy walked straight to his dorm and had a shower to get warm as he knew his roommates weren't going to be up for at least an hour. The raven haired boy got dressed in his pyjama bottoms and a random top he had found on the floor. Wrapping himself in his invisibility cloak and casting a silencing spell around his bed, he then collapsed onto said bed. Knowing no one would be able to hear or find him due to the spell and cloak, everything he had been hiding behind his mask for the past 45 minutes came rushing out like a broken dam.
No one had realised anything was wrong until two days later. This was because the day Draco had broken up with Harry had in fact been the 30th of October. The next day was, in fact, Halloween, the day that Harry lost his parents and caused him to be the Boy-Who-Lived. So everyone thought it was obvious that Harry would want to be alone, therefore no one bothered him.
But then on the 1st of November, everyone realised that something most definitely was wrong with the boy.
"Oh hello Draco. Do you need me to get Harry?" Hermione said as she let the blonde into the Gryffindor tower like she would often do.
"No. I'll go to him." He said in a blank tone. Hermione frowned as she watched him head up to the eighth year boy dorm.
"Potter." Draco said into the room but had no response, "Harry?"
"Dra…co?" Harry said poking his head through his curtain.
"I want my stuff back," Draco demanded, refusing to acknowledge Harry's red eyes along with the bags beneath them on top of his unhealthy pale skin. Harry's eyes flashed with disappointment before he slowly walked over to his trunk and pulled out several of the blondes jumpers and tops.
"Here," Harry said with his voice cracking. Draco grabbed them and left. everyone's inquiring stares as he walked through the common room and out of the portrait.
"Harry, is everything alright?" Hermione asked the pale boy as he came down from his dorm.
"I am fine 'Mione." Harry said with a small pained smile, before Hermione could question him anymore, the boy had already disappeared.
Harry had headed to the Room of Requirement, he didn't know why but he felt that he needed to go there. The room changed into a library and Harry looked amongst the books, he grabbed a few that caught his eye and the ones he chose were rather worrying.
They were:
Getting Over Your Ex by Galia Afflictus
Bodily Harm and How To Hide It by Serlin the Sufferer
Emotion Control: Hiding Your Feelings From Others by Dinav Larva
What To Say So They Think You Are Fine by Hali the Concealer
Harry then spent the rest of the day reading through them. It was easy to say that Harry wasn't taking the break up well.
Authors Notes:
'Afflictus' means 'heartbroken' in Latin
'Larva' means 'mask' in Latin
I know it was short -it pained me to upload it this short but it was a good place to stop I think.
This most likely won't be a long fanfiction, probably three chapter, unless you guys want me to continue (and I have some idea of what else to add).
Also if you guys have any other ideas for what I could call this fanfiction then please let me know, my other ideas were 'Break Up Make Up' although I don't really like that one and 'Free Will'
Anyway,
Thanks for reading,
Hope you enjoyed,
Please review,
Bye~
