Draco woke up when there was a loud crack of thunder. He rubbed his eyes and glanced around. It was probably about three AM. Lightning flashed, rain poured down and thunder rumbled, shaking the entire castle. Draco sighed and sat up. He wouldn't be getting back to sleep anytime soon. He was thankful now that the eighth years had their own bedrooms now. It provided a quiet environment to think. He pulled his school robes on and slipped on a pair of shoes and sneaked out of the common room.

He was walking around the third floor corridors when he swore he heard a sound. He froze for a few seconds but quickly dismissed it and continued to walk. He stopped a few seconds later when he heard it again. He could swear it sounded like crying, coming from around the corner.

"Nox." he whispered, putting the light on his wand out and shoving it into his pocket. He stealthily slipped around the corner and waited.

There was a flash of lightning and for a brief few seconds, Draco could see a pair of bright green eyes behind a pair of glasses. Harry Potter.

A smirk appeared on Draco's face. Perfect Harry Potter. The Boy Who Lived, out after curfew. This was going to be fun.

Draco started to take a step forward when there was another crash of thunder and a flash of thunder, making Harry jump and shake.

"Crying for your mother Potter?" he spat, hatred in his eyes. Harry wiped his eyes roughly with the back of his hand.

"Shove off Malfoy!" he said, his voice shaking. Draco's cruel gaze softened and he sat down in front of Harry's trembling figure.

"Shove off? That's the best comeback you have?" he asked, trying to keep the incredulous note out of his voice. Harry chuckled weakly and lifted his head to smile at Draco. Draco sighed and rested his head against the wall. "What are you doing up?" he asked softly. Draco didn't have to wait for an answer because right after he asked, there was a crash of thunder that shook the whole castle.

Harry cried out in fear and threw himself at Draco, his arms wrapped tightly around Draco. Draco looked shocked for a second before smiling slightly and putting his arms around the shaking boy.

"Scared of a little thunder are you Potter?" he asked in an amused tone.

"No." said Harry, his voice muffled, still refusing to let go of Draco as more thunder rumbled. Draco grinned as Harry buried his face into Draco's shirt. Draco shook his head smirking as he adjusted himself into a more comfortable position.

Honestly he didn't mind the Gryffindor in his arms. It was funny and...cute. Draco squeezed his eyes closed. He couldn't think about Harry Potter that way. Draco sighed, knowing the boy he loved would never love him.

Draco was jerked out of his thoughts as Harry sat up, his cheeks bright red.

"Sorry Malfoy." mumbled Harry. Draco smiled.

"No problem." he said softly.

"Thanks Mal-Draco." said Harry.

"No problem. So. Why is the Golden Boy out this late?" asked Draco sarcastically. Harry sighed.

"I'm...having problems." he said quietly.

"What type of problems?" asked Draco curiously, raising his elegant eyebrows.

"Everything." said Harry frustratedly. "I'm expected to save the world and be a man when I'm sixteen! I'm never going to be normal and my best mates left me because I'm bloody bent!" he cried, his eyes filling with tears. Draco's gorgeous grey eye widened as he stared at the teary eyed, raven haired boy in front of him.

"You're...gay?" asked Draco slowly. Harry nodded, running his hand through his hair.

"You're disgusted by me too I'll guess then!" he spat, pulling away from Draco and pulling his knees to his chest again.

Draco scooted closer to Harry and put his arm around Harry's shoulder comfortingly.

"I don't think you're disgusting Potter." said Draco sympathetically. "I'm...I'm bent too..." Harry glanced up, his emerald eyes meeting Draco's cloudy grey eyes, smiling gratefully. Suddenly Harry pressed his lips against Draco's, pushing him against the wall. Draco's eyes widened as he tried to register what was going on.

At first Draco struggled but soon gave in. Harry tangled his hands through Draco's hair, smiling as he kissed him. Draco wrapped his arms around Harry's waist and pulled the smaller boy closer to him. They broke apart, a grin on Harry's face. Draco blushed bright red.

"What the fuck Potter?" he gasped. Harry put his hand on Draco's knee.

"I'm sorry!" he apologized. Draco shied away from Harry and jumped up.

"Don't touch me!" he cried, his hand lashing out and slapping Harry across the face. Draco spun around and stormed away, tears in his eyes.
