Chapter 4 – Confession

Draco sat on the train. It hadn't left the station yet. He wondered if Harry was on the train or not. He looked out of the window at he heads of the students. As he stared, he thought he saw a familiar head. He panicked. Was it Harry? The head suddenly disappeared. Draco jumped up to find it but it was gone.

"What? Did the seat bite you?" Blaise Zabini asked, snickering. Draco turned around quickly to meet his friend. He grabbed his friend into a hug.

"How were your holidays" Blaise asked.

"Boring." Draco guessed that wasn't really lying. Some parts were boring.

Blaise sat down across from Draco. As Blaise talked about his holidays, Draco worried about Harry. What if his aunt and uncle hadn't let him come back to Hogwarts?

"Drake?" Blaise asked. "You there?"

Draco snapped out of his trance. Blaise looked slightly pissed off.

"Did you hear me?"

"Yeah. Portugal then Athens. Sounds fun." Draco replied. Actually, it was really surprising that he heard it. He wasn't paying any attention!

Suddenly, the compartment door slid open. Harry stuck his head in and smiled.

"Hey" he said to Draco, but before he could answer, Blaise jumped up and yelled "WHAT THE FUCK" and rather dramatically punched Harry out cold.

Draco jumped up and rushed over to Harry. Blaise was extremely confused and asked the same question as he had before but this time, nicer.

Draco levitated Harry to the seat and laid him down before telling Blaise the story (forgetting to mention his problem as he went).

That night, Draco crept along the corridor leading to the Gryffindor common room. He crept right past the portrait and stopped at a tapestry and whispered

"Thank you marauders."

The tapestry faded and an archway appeared. Draco walked the tunnel ahead of him. When he reached the end, he stuck out his head. Everyone was asleep. Good. He walked into the 7th year boys' dorm and made a beeline to Harry's bed.

Draco opened the curtain and looked at the sleeping form that was Harry Potter. He jumped onto the bed and closed the curtain before casting a silencing charm. Once he had done this he whispered to Harry

"Harry, wake up." Harry didn't respond.

"Harry?" again, no answer. This time Draco yelled.

"Harry, wake up. You're late for class!"

This time Harry woke up. In fact, he jumped three inches and swore loudly. When he heard Draco laughing though, he calmed down. When Draco had finally stopped laughing, he handed Harry his glasses.

"Is everything alright?" Harry asked after a moment's silence.

"Yeah. I just wanted to see how you were. Blaise said to tell you he's sorry." Draco replied.

"Oh! I'm fine. I've dealt with worse than that before."

"Oh. Ok"

There was another silence, this time more awkward.

"Well, I should let you sleep." Draco said. He stuck his hand into his robe pocket.

"Here." He handed a note to Harry before jumping off the bed and practically running for the secret passage.

"See ya, Harry."

When Draco left, Harry opened the paper, before realizing that it was in fact, dark and he couldn't read anything. He grabbed his wand and cast Lumos. He read:

Harry,

Over the past few weeks, I have done a lot of thinking.

It was hard to come to terms with what I have found through my thinking.

I love you.

I have done for a while. I'm sorry. This has probably ruined our relationship but I needed you to know.

If this is the last time I ever have the chance to say this to you, please know, you are the reason I'm still alive.

Love always.

Draco

As Draco walked back to his common room, he decided that, because he had just ruined the best thing in his life, he needed to be punished.

Hey, I'm SO sorry that I haven't updated for a while. School has been hectic and I haven't been able to get on the computer for ages. Thanks everyone that reviewed! Every one of them made me smile.

Draco: Me too! I got a hug!

Harry: Yeah. Where's mine!

Pathetic-me: you haven't needed one yet. Don't worry! You will:: Laughs maniacally::

I will try my very bestest to have another chapter up soon. I know they're short but so is my attention span.

Also, can you tell me, who's a fan of m'preg? I just want to know for future chapters.

Blessed be.

Pathetic-me.
