"I need a promise from you Harry"
The war had been won by the Light side. Voldemort defeated, most death eaters killed and the rest being executed. According to Ronald Weasley, even though they lost a few lives, Harry Potter had won. But according to Harry Potter, he had lost.
He had lost the man who was a father to him - Remus Lupin, he had lost an elder brother - Fred Weasley and now he would lose the love of his life - Draco Malfoy.
He was the one for whose safety and help, Draco had become a spy. And now, when Draco was sentenced to the Dementor's kiss, he could do nothing. The blonde had pleaded guilty for crimes he had not committed. What could Harry say? Wouldn't he have done the same to save his mother? Yet he couldn't bring himself to terms with it.
Draco was to serve his punishment today, an hour later. That's when he asked for the promise.
"I need you promise me to watch the sunset everyday, like we used to"
"I can't Draco, I can't. I won't be able to live without you. Why do you have to do this? I'll call for a retrial and we'll think of some other way out."
"It won't work Harry, it'd be the same. But please move on. Take it as my last wish. Will you?"
Harry nodded wordlessly, his eyes full of tears.
"And Harry-"
"Hmm?"
"I want you to be the one to give me my last kiss"
"But Draco- seeing you is more than I can take - don't ask me to -"
"I want to die with all my happy memories, with memories of you, not of pain and hurt."
"No Draco I - I just can't" Too overwhelmed for words, Harry kissed his lover with an unprecedented passion, exploring every crevice of his mouth, afraid of missing some point.
Draco Malfoy was brought to the grounds and hateful shouts erupted from all sides.
"He deserves it, the ferret, he killed Ginny," said Ron from his place next to Harry.
The dementor made its way towards the pale blonde who had his pleading eyes fixed on the Golden Boy.
Harry took a deep breath and pulled out his wand.
"Avada Kedavra"
"Harry? What did you do?" squealed Hermione.
"I know her death hurt you mate but - "
Harry ignored everyone else and got up, ready to leave. Ron placed a slight hand on his arm. "Where are you going Harry?"
"To watch the sunset."
