A Drarry songfic based on In The Hearts Of Men by First Aid Kid.
It's my first ever fanfic so be nice. Also, I took out a part that I really couldn't work with.
Draco don't know what has happened to him. He is supposed to hate the brown haired boy. He is supposed to hate him more than anything in this world. At least, that's what everyone else thinks, that's what they all assume. They assume that Harry and Draco are enemies.
In the hearts of men, in the arms of mothers.
"I don't care if he's the-boy-who-lived. You're going to be the greatest wizard of all times!" His mother always tells him. Of course, always adding the little:"Except for you-know-who."
In the parts we play to convince others.
Draco and Harry has fought many battles, big and small, on school grounds. Always surrounded by masses of people to make sure that everybody will find out.
We know what we're doing, we're doing it right.
After they bumped into each other at 3 Broomsticks, their accidental get-togethers have become more and more frequent. Always in dark places and usually under Harry's invisibility cloak but the meetings started being the brightest lights in Draco's life.
In the hands of teachers, in the books you read.
The things you say when we've lost the lead.
There were times when they'd almost been caught. Like the many occasions when they'd forgotten the time. Or when Draco forgot to take Harry's Gryffindor scarf of before he entered the school. Everyone starred at Draco and Goyle was just about to scream out to him when Harry came running and snatched it from him. As always, Snape was nearby and demanded the boys to explain what was going on. Draco couldn't say anything; he just fought to not let his cheeks turn blood red in his pale face. Lucky him, Harry never failed at saving the day and could always find the right words.
I still try to speak up but my voice won't make a sound.
And I thought it all over too many times.
Draco just can't understand why he feels like this. But he knows that Harry probably feels the same thing. Although that is a bit of a comfort, Draco needs to know for sure if Harry feels the same and the only way to know that is to ask him. He has tried to ask him multiple times but he always chokes and the words never come out.
But when there's no use and the lights are all out,
I just give it up and I walk home
Past the shopping mall that's just closing down.
He has just decided to give it up and wait for Harry to come clean first. Not as if Draco ever will tell anyone else about his feelings. What would the boys say? God, what would his mother say? And what about his father? It isn't just the fact that he's fallen for a boy. It isn't really any boy.
Will you tell yourself you all must be what you'll be?
Who's to say who is who and what is what if you simply don't agree?
No it isn't any boy at all. It is Harry Potter. A hero, gentleman, with beautiful green eyes and thick, dark hair. Why would he care about what everyone else says? Draco deserves to be happy, he deserves love, and he deserves Harry.
Now, time will come to claim you and it will have its way.
Don't make no mistakes and don't regret,
Don't waste the time that is left.
And then do it all with a goddamn smile.
When they graduate he'll risk it all. He'll tell Harry the truth. He'll ask him to run away with him. Oh, he has always wanted to know about the Muggle-world. They can buy a castle there, or a house maybe, or what do they live in? He don't really care, he just wants to spend his life with the-boy-who-lived.
