Move On
By Katie of Gryffindor
"Ouch!"
"Oh, sorry... Dr- erm. Malfoy."
"Potter."
"How've you been?"
"All right, I suppose. You?"
"All right. Haven't seen you since-"
"Yes, I know. Let's not relive our past, shall we Potter?"
"No, I suppose we shouldn't. So, what have you been up t-"
"Daddy! Daddy! Lookie, Daddy, lookie!"
"That's great, Max! Potter, I'd like you to meet my son, Maximilian Malfoy."
"Your s- Em, nice to meet you, young Master Malfoy."
"You too, Mister... Hey, aren't you Harry Potter?"
"Uh, yes. Yes I am."
"Coooooool! Daddy talks about you all the time. He even told me about one time when-"
"Max, son, I think that's enough. Why don't you go show your mum that."
"All right, Daddy! Bye Mister Potter!"
"So you did marry Parkinson, then?"
"Can we go get a drink and talk privately?"
"Fine."

"So a month after graduation, we were married. Nine months later, there was Max."
"Lovely."
"Oh, Merlin. Harry, don't get huffy. It was already arranged. I couldn't get out of it. Our fathers signed in blood."
"Whatever, Draco. It didn't take you very long to create your heir."
"And I hated every second of the creation... I had to imagine someone else in Pansy's place to even get randy enough to start the whole thing."
"Mm hmm. More Zabini fantasies?"
"No, Harry. You, if you must know. I've never stopped loving you, and you know that."
"Yes, I could tell by the invitations to the wedding, and the non-stop owls, and especially that letter telling me all about your son."
"Harry, I-I couldn't write. I couldn't bear telling you. It hurt too much to think that I made something I love so much with anyone but you..."
"Sounds like a load of dragon dung to me, Malfoy."
"Oh, so now we're back to our school days? Hating each other and only using surnames?"
"You broke me the night you left. Broke me in two. What am I supposed to do? Pine after someone I can't have? Not try my damnedest to get you out of my head? Why in Merlin's name do you think I try to keep away from here? I don't want to go back to that time... I don't want the pain anymore. I-"
"…"
"Draco, you kissed me."
"Seems I did."
"Why?"
"I was never able to tolerate your whining, was I?"
"Well, no, but you're a married man. You've got a child. I can't-"
"Harry. Pansy and I don't love each other. She sleeps around, because I won't sleep with her. I don't, because there's only one person I want. And I'm looking right at him."
"Well I'm sorry. But no matter how much I love you, and how much I want to be with you, we can't go back."
"Why not?"
"Because. I've moved on. Without you."
"But I never stopped loving you, Harry."
"It doesn't matter anymore. You're Pansy's now, even if you don't want to be. You'll always be hers. I can never have you again, and you'll never have me. Just... Move on."
"Harry please-"
"Goodbye, Draco. I love you. But goodbye."
