*Will probably only be a 2 chapter thing* I will make the next chapter longer!
Harry looked out the Astromony tower window and up at the starry sky. The cold November wind whistled through the trees and send the ghost of a chill through the gaping window, causing Harry to pull his school robes closer to his body.
The hot tears ran down his face, and he wiped them away angrily. He would not cry. Could not cry. Yet it was so painstakingly hard not to. With each tear his heart broke more and more. He couldn't bear to face the pain, face the facts. Everybody has always said that Malfoy was no good for him, and that he should move on. Harry disagreed, he still disagreed. Nobody had ever loved him as much as Draco had done, yet what is love without a lie? The pain in Harry's heart was enough to tell him that it was real. 6 years of love and hate had been real and worth it. Harry wondered that if he threw himself out of this window, how it would feel to have the cold night air rushing against him as he fell freely. He wondered if anybody would even care.
"Draco would care," he thought to himself as he shook his head to rid himself of those bad thoughts. As the tears fell and his sobs became harder, he didn't hear the sound of somebody coming up behind him until arms wrapped themselves around his waist, and a head came to rest upon his own.
"I've looked all over for you. Don't run off like that. You scared me, sweetheart."
Harry wiped his eyes and leaned back against the body of his boyfriend. The boy he loved more than anything. The boy he was also going to pieces over. Turning around, he placed both hands either side of the blonde's face. His pale skin and eyes were illuminated by the light of the moon, making Harry's heart ache more.
"I love you so much..." Fresh tears welled up as Draco smiled, "I love you more."
Harry shook his head and smiled sadly. He had never expected it to come to this. He had known something was going on when Draco started to act weird, more reclused. He never expected to see that vile green mark adorning his lover's arm. His thoughts ran back to the argument a few hours before. The tears, the insults, the heartache and the sorrow.
"I know you're upset Harry..."
"Oh I'm more than upset."
Harry pushed Draco away lightly, sensing the irritation he had just caused. He didn't know what he was supposed to do. Draco was staring at him with his eyes narrowed slightly. It was now or never, Harry reasoned with himself.
"There is so much I want to say... I love you more than anything, but you promised me that all this Death Eater stuff stopped! I don't want to shout at you anymore, I want to be happy and be with you so we can move on from here and do all the things we promised..."
Wiping away the angry tears that were raining down his face, Draco stared at Harry, who was beginning to well up. The pain that was building up was excruciating. Was everything he loved about to be over in a matter of seconds? The thought was too much to bear. Draco wouldn't give up on him surely?
"You're acting as though I don't want those things too. I want more than anything to marry you, and to wake up to you every single morning with the happy thought that you're my family and you have my name. I don't want to do this. I've told you how much I don't want to do this... What do you expect me to do? I love you Harry, but I have to stay with my family." Draco pushed Harry away and turned, pausing to wipe away tears and stifle a sob. Harry went back to staring out the window. He felt his heart break as he heard Draco's soft voice echo through the room,
"I never want to hurt you.."
