Chapter three

Harry's POV

"Harry James Potter, I may not have shown you ever, but I care. I know I've been mean, but that's only a façade. I care about you, and I realized I care about you more than I should over these past ten minutes." Draco said to me. Draco pinned my arms against the wall and straddled my hips. He looked into my eyes, and I looked into his beautiful steel grey eyes. He leaned forward and softly put his lips on mine. I kissed him back. I felt his tongue lick my lips, so I parted my lips. Our tongues danced with each other. Draco pulled away, and once again we were staring into each others eyes. I knew then, that I loved Draco.

He got off my hips and sat beside me. I put my head on his shoulder, and he put his arm around me.

"Don't ever hurt yourself again," Draco said sadly to me.

I looked up at him, and into his eyes. "I can't promise you that!" I said quietly.

"At least try. It hurts me to see you in pain. I want to see you happy again Harry!" exclaimed Draco.

"It's not that easy, I can't just stop. It's an addiction." I whispered, now looking at my hands. Draco grabbed my hand and intertwined his fingers with mine,

"Then every time you feel like cutting think of me and how much I love you!" said Draco. I nodded in assent.

Draco's POV

We sat there until lunch; skipping all our morning classes. We walked to the great hall together while holding each others hands. I felt Harry tense up as we got close to the door.

"Calm down Harry it will be okay. Just don't mind the stares and just don't give a shit about what everyone else thinks." I reassured him.

"Who are we going to sit with?" Harry asked nervously.

"We will sit with Hermione and the Gryffindors. Hermione probably won't mind, she's pretty accepting and all. And this is a thing in the muggle world. You know, boys liking boys, girls liking girls." I said to him.

"Yeah she's accepting. And it's called being gay! Though, I think I'm bisexual, which means I like boys and girls. I had a friend once who was a pansexual. That one is hard to explain. It means they would date a person no matter the persons gender identity or sexual orientation. So basically, they will date anyone as long as they are into that person." Harry said all in a rush.

"You will have to explain it all to me one day." I said. We stepped into the Great Hall and everything went silent. Everyone was watching us. I squeezed Harry's hand, and started walking to where Hermione was sitting. We sat down as everyone's eyes bore into our souls. People started to whisper and look around.

"Hey," I said to Hermione. Then some people went back to their own lives, and started talking again. The tension lessened and many people relaxed.

"Hey, so you to a cute adorable thing now?" Hermione asked curiously.

"Go ahead, tell em' Harry," I said to Harry. I nudged his shoulder with my shoulder. Harry snapped out of his trance and got back into the real world.

"Yeah were a thing, an item, a couple now." Harry told Hermione. Hermione looked at Ginny, Seamus, Dean, Ron, Fred, and George. She smiled warmly at us.

"Congratulations!" Hermione said to us. "and you six owe me, Neville, and Luna 5 knuts each." Hermione said to Ginny, Seamus, Dean, Ron, Fred, and George.

"Wait what were you betting on whether or not we would ever get together?" Harry asked, looking a little taken aback.

"Yes Harry. Luna mentioned a few days ago that you two seemed to be a little attracted to each other. Neville and I agreed with her, while these prats deemed it impossible. It was a little obvious that you guys were into each other," Hermione explained as she collected the thirty knuts she was given. "And by the way Draco, your fellow Slytherins don't look to happy."

"Eh, They'll get over the shock. Blaise is gay anyway, so they are used to the whole boys holding other boy's hands, and boys snogging other boys." I said plainly. "In fact, he has got a real thing for you Ron." I pointed at out. Ron had kind of been sitting there staring intensely at me. But that fact seemed to lighted his mood a bit. I already knew they were a thing.

We talked and ate for the rest of lunch. Ron really shoves food down his throat. The time quickly passed and it was time for our next class. So Harry, Hermione, Ron, and I all walked to Defense against the Dark Arts together.

Harry's POV Potion class

It was the last class of the day finally. Honestly though, I hate ending the day with Snape. Plus, I have detention with him after class. We had the whole class period to make a love potion. Which wasn't extremely hard. Snape being Snape, he said great things about the Slytherin's potions and terrible things about the Gryffindor's potions.

"I'll meet up with you later Draco," I said to him and hugged him goodbye. I walked up to Professor Snape, "What do you want me to do?"

"I want you to stop dating my Godson. You will can't ruin his perfect reputation. You are a disgrace anyway. Why do you think we gave you to those muggles anyway? Do you really think Draco loves you? And your parents, they are probably ashamed to be your parents, dating a boy in all that is Potter. Your disgusting and a disgrace and no one likes you, especially not Draco!" Snape harshly said to me.

"That's not true, it's not true." I said covering my ears and shaking my head. I can feel the tears swelling in my eyes. 'oh it's true and you know it' I thought.

"Oh but it is and you are going to pay for it!" exclaimed Snape. He towered over Harry. He punched my face. I could feel my lip split. I fell down onto my side, softening my fall with my hands and arms. Snape kicked me in the stomach. My arms collapsed. Then he kicked my ribs. I felt a few crack. He stopped for a moment, I looked up only to find him taking off his belt. He held his belt like a whip. He kicked me so I lay on my stomach, and he lifted my shirt. Then he put a silencing spell on the room. I heard a crack. I let out an inhuman scream as the pain coursed through my body. He whipped me again and again, all over my back. "You piece of shit" Snape uttered, then he left me laying there. I got up and ran to the girls bathroom.

Draco's POV the Gryffindor common room

"Harry's taking an awful long time detention was only supposed to be an hour." I said worried.

"He'll be fine. I'm sure he is just taking his dear old time to get back here." Reassured Hermione.

"It says on the map that he's in the girl's bathroom," exclaimed George. This put Draco on edge, he knew something was wrong.

"He's been spending a lot of time in the bathroom lately." Said Ron.

"I'm going to look for him," I said. I got up and walked out of the Gryffindor common room. I ran to the girl's bathroom as quick as I could. When I entered the bathroom I was mortified. I saw Harry standing there with a blade vertically placed along his left wrist. "Harry what's going?" I asked trying to stay calm.

"Draco I can't do this. I can't live in a life where no one cares," he said sobbing and shaking.

"What are you talking about? I care about you, hell I love you," I said gently slowly taking a step forward.

"No you don't you just want to get me to the dark lord. You just want me dead, it's part of your plan. And everyone else has pretended to be my friend. I'm worthless. I'm disgusting. My parents probably hate me. I don't deserve to be here I should never have been born." He cried out.

"Harry I do love you. I love you so much, I would die for you. They are your friends they have been here for you all this time. And you are not worthless, you mean everything to me. You are beautiful, so beautiful. Your parents love you they miss you. And you do deserve to be here you really do you mean so much to so many people." I said cautiously.

"It doesn't matter now I already took the whole bottle of sleeping pills anyway. It will kick in soon and then I'll be dead." Harry said gravely. I run over to him and grab the razor and chuck it across the room. I hug Harry as tight as I can, he can't go yet. I start to cry and sob into his neck,

"What have you done Harry I love you so much. You can't leave me no you can't." I sob. I go and grab the razor. I roll up my sleeve and put the blade on my wrist horizontally. I press down and slash my wrist once.

"Now Draco stop please," Harry begged me, but I kept going I needed to make my point. I slashed my wrist again and again and again. I slashed my wrist until it was covered in deep straight cuts.

"THIS IS WHAT IT FEELS LIKE WHEN YOU HURT YOURSELF! IT HURTS ME TOO. I LOVE YOU SO MUCH YOU CAN'T KEEP HURTING YOURSELF LIKE THIS. YOUR HURTING ME TOO. I CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT YOU I CAN'T," I yelled at him "I just can't" I whispered.

"I'm sorry Draco," he said to me, then he went unconscious. The world started going blurry. I heard the door open and someone scream and rush over to me. Then the world went black.
