A/N: Thank you very much for following! Please review, it'll help me so much! And also, this is my first fanfic so please tell me what you think. :D
The great Harry Potter, the cold, fearless, cunning, intelligent, and almost perfect Harry Potter has the most unexpected fear.
It started with their new lesson actually. Snape wanted to know if their fears changed since their third year. It was said that people's fear could change when time flies.
And so, when it's Harry's turn, they all waited. They waited for the fear of their fierce Slytherin.
First, it was his father's dead body. Second, his mother's. Third, his godfather's. Next. . . . his best friend's.
It was Draco.
Lying there. On the floor. His body, so pale, so lifeless.
Murmurs and whispers were soon heard in the room. Draco ignored them. It was Harry that he's so concerned about. He didn't even felt fear when he saw his own dead body. He felt fear for Harry.
"I'm sorry, professor," Harry suddenly said, making all of them quiet, shocked by his words. "I'm sorry, but I can't do this."
They were shocked. Harry was the most outstanding student in- well. . . every class. Even Granger admitted that. The silence was really deafening for Draco.
So much silence.
"That's alright, Mr. Potter," Snape -to their great surprise- said in a low voice. "Before I dismiss the class, I want everyone's essay about your fears from the last time that all of you faced a boggart. It will be passed on Monday. Class dismissed."
It was then that students rushed out of the classroom to bring the great news to everybody else. Even Snape already went out of the room, but Harry remained there, looking down at his feet, gripping his wand so tightly.
When Draco finally came to reality, he approached Harry slowly.
"Harry?" Draco asked softly. "Are you al- -"
Draco was cut off when Harry quickly turned to him and hugged him tightly like there's no tomorrow.
Draco froze.
It was the first time that he saw Harry like this. Harry was trembling so much and he could feel his own uniform getting wet from his best friend's tears.
"I don't want to lose you, Draco," Harry whispered between sobs. "Please don't leave me like everybody else did."
Harry's words crushed Draco's heart into a million pieces. Now he knew what Harry is going through and he just needed someone to be there for him.
Draco hugged him back.
"I'll always be by your side, Harry," Draco whispered into his ear. "Always."
