Draco feared what expression he would find displayed across Harry's face
when he turned in his seat to face him. 'Fear? Disgust? Hate?' Draco thought
to himself glumly, taking a deep breath and turning in his seat to finally face
Harry.

Draco felt his heart shatter into a million pieces as he came face-to-face with
Harry, a hurt and confused look pasted across Harry's face.

Draco shakily searched through his robes for his wand, when he found it he
dropped it clumsily and cursed to himself, he bent down to pick it up but was
already beaten to it.

Harry leant down in his seat first and held the wand in his hand, with Draco's
hand wrapped around his.

Harry and Draco looked up, into each other's eyes and Draco saw to his
astonishment that Harry had tears in his eyes. The connection their eyes were
holding reached right down into Draco's soul, grasping his heart and branding
it to forever belong to Harry.

Harry broke the connection and handed Draco his wand, reaching into his
own robes to retrieve his own wand. Draco felt as if a cold bucket of iced
water had been thrown over the fire burning in his heart, leaving it cold and
lifeless.

"Let's do the spell at the same time," Harry said in a dull tone, looking around
the room to have an excuse not to have to look into Draco's eyes again.
Draco looked around the room; the rest of the class had started the spell
already.
"Okay," Draco agreed, readying his wand.

At the same time Draco and Harry said the spell, causing a thin wisp of dull
red smoke to come snaking out from the tips of their wands.

When the red smoke had formed the boys both ended up with a half of a
heart each.

What happened next made Draco and Harry gasp in unison.

The two halves moved together, growing stronger until the smoke was
darker, the red turned blood red and the halves formed a beating heart.

Draco looked across the table at Harry who now had tears spilling down his
cheeks. Harry dropped his wand, causing the heart to disappear before
anyone in the class could see it and ran from the class without a backwards
glance. Leaving Draco in the room with Gryffindors glaring at him.

Harry didn't know where he was going all he knew was that he had to get
away as fast as he could. Harry stopped behind a suit of armour and broke
down on the floor and sat there, crying, until his stomach hurt and he
couldn't breath.

Harry heard footsteps running in his direction, so he pulled himself into a ball
and hid his face in his lap, trying to steady his breathing.

Someone stopped and sat on the floor in front of him but Harry didn't need to
look up to know who it was.

Harry looked up, his face stained with tears, into the worried eyes of Draco.

"Harry…" Draco began, but Harry silenced him by placing his finger to Draco's
lips.

"I know it won't work, I know it CAN'T work," Harry began, gasping for breath
between tears. "But I don't think I can go on like this." "I love you so deep
down inside my soul that I don't think I can live without you," "you're a part
of my very being." Harry said, placing his hand to Draco's face to wipe away
the tear, which was now trailing down the corner of Draco's eye.

"Harry," Draco breathed with admiration. "I don't think I've ever heard you
being so open about your feelings."

Harry's grin returned as he cupped Draco's face in his hands. "Yes you have, I
was always being open when I called you a slimy two faced git," Harry
laughed, before Draco could say anything Harry leant in and placed his legs
and arms around Draco's lean frame.

"So are you going to kiss me or not?" Harry asked mischievously.
"How could I resist, Draco said, smiling the first sincere smile he could
remember using in ages.

Draco leant in and placed such a passionate kiss on Harry's lips that Harry
knew his being was once again complete.

Harry woke up in his bed, blinking his eyes awake he realised there was
something heavy sitting on his lower body.

Harry gasped in shock us he looked up into the mischievous, gleaming eyes of
his boyfriend, Draco Malfoy.

"Draco what are you doing?!" Harry whispered loudly, pushing Draco off of
him so he could crawl out of bed and shut the hangings on his four corner
bed.

"I just wanted to see what it looks like when you sleep," Draco replied matter-
of-factly. "You drool," "did you know that?" Draco asked, as Harry put a
silencing spell on the hangings of the bed so no one could hear outside of the
bed.

"I do not!" Harry replied hotly turning around with his hands on his hips to
confront Draco. Draco grabbed Harry and pulled him down on top of him onto the
bed. Draco ran his hands through Harry's hair and down his back, causing Harry
to shiver in pleasure.

"There's just one thing that annoys me about your appearance," Draco said,
looking at Harry sceptically.

"Only one?" Harry mocked, holding Draco's hands above Draco's head in a
wristlock. "What is it then?" Harry asked, raising his eyebrow.

"Just these" Draco said reached up to Harry's face before Harry could react,
taking his glasses off, and crushing them in his hands and then using a spell to
make the bits disappear.

Harry stared at Draco with his mouth hanging open, speechless.

Draco took this as an opportunity to roll over so he was on top of Harry,
pinning him to the bed.

"I'm sorry Harry darling but your glasses where just getting in the way," Draco
said, sitting up so he was straddling Harry's hips. "I couldn't kiss you without
getting my eye skewered." Draco purred, stroking Harry's chest (AN: Harry was
obviously asleep so as forth was not wearing anything other than his Quidditch
boxers) "But they were who I was," Harry whined, "They make me who I am."
"Everyone won't know who I am…" Draco stopped Harry half way through his
sentence by grinding his lower half into Harry's hips. All that Harry could do
was groan.

"Harry, people know who you are, you don't need your glasses." Draco said
leaning down to plant a trail of butterfly kisses down Harry's chest.

"It's not my fault," Draco said, grinding his pelvis further into Harry, causing
Harry to groan deep down in his throat.

"No," "That wasn't your fault," Harry breathed between spasms of pleasure. "But
now you can fix something that is," Harry grinned mischievously, pulling Draco
down towards his face and catching Draco breathless with an earth-shattering
passionate kiss which sent Draco to the stars.
