I love you
Draco stood at the edge of the Black Lake. In one hand he had a vial of blue liquid. The liquid was the sea creatures potion. Draco had made some, nicking some ingrediants from his godfathers store cupboard. It had taken a lot longer than he'd htought it would. Now it was nearly 10:30pm, which meant he had an hour and a half to find Harry. He hoped the sea creatue potion would work, in changing him into a merman. He pulled the stopper from out of the vial, and poured it over him. He felt himself change immediately, and in a matter of minutes he was sitting on the ground, with a green tail. He let out of sigh of relife of it working.
'Draco what the hell have you done?' excalimed a voice.
Draco turned to find Blaise and Pansy standing there. Niether looked happy.
'I'm going to get Harry back.' answered Draco, shifting himself towards the lake.
'Are you mad?' asked Blaise. 'You can't go.'
'I have to.' said Draco, finally getting into the water. 'I have to get him back.'
'Your not going to change your mind are you?' asked Pansy.
'Nope.' said Draco, looking back at his best friends. 'I need to find him. Just to tell him I love him.'
'I think your mad.' said Blaise. 'But if you gotta go, you gotta go.'
'Thanks Blaise. I shouldn't be long.' he said.
He saw Severus, Dumbledore and a load of other adults come out of the school. Two of which were his parents. Draco watched their faces pale, as he flicked his fin in the water.
'Draco Lucius Malfoy. Get out now!' shouted his father, running over.
'Sorry Dad, but this is something I've got to do.' said Draco, before diappearing into the water complettely.
Harry felt another chill pass over him. He knew something was wrong, but he didn't know what. Harry had been swimming around, eating some small plants and stuff, and just relaxing. Yet every now and then a chill would pass over him. He felt himself getting colder, but he was just putting it down to the time of night it was. Harry gave another flick of his fin, and surfaced. He felt the cool air against his face. Harry looked around and saw that he was nearing the side of the black lake, that was near the Hogwarts Express platform. He could make out the school in the distance, and felt a tiny bit of sadness at not being able to go back there. But Harry pushed it aside, and told himself he had the Lake now. The was a splash behind him, and he turned around. His eyes locked with silver ones, and he stared shocked.
'Draco?' he said.
'Harry. Thank god I found you.' said Draco.
'Draco what the hell are you doing here?' asked Harry.
'I had to find you. I had to tell you that if you don't change back, in around 30 minutes you're going to die.' he answered, desperately.
'What?' asked Harry, disbelievingly.
'You have to change back, or you'll die.' repeated Draco, tears falling down his cheek.
Harry felt his heart break, as he saw the young Malfoy cry. Without thinking he bushed the tears away. It wasn't until he felt Draco freeze, that he withdrew his hand.
'Sorry.' mumbled Harry, a blush creeping up his face.
Harry felt Draco's hand cup his cheek, and looked up. 'Don't be.' said Draco.
'Draco I have nothing to go back for.' said Harry, sadly.
'There's me. I love you Harry Potter.' he said, still not removing his hand.
'You what?' asked Harry, thinking his mind was playing tricks.
'I love you.' said Draco. 'I always have. Ever since I first saw you. But when you didn't take my friendship I felt my heart break, so I started fighting eith you. Then last year I stopped, because I realised that I never stopped loving you.'
Harry didn't know what to say. He felt his heart soar. Before Hary could say anything, he felt a stabbing pain in his heart. He groaned and clutched his chest.
'Harry what's wrong?' asked Draco, franticaly.
'My heart.' answered arry, feelin it become very cold.
'Shit, we have to get you back to shore.' said Draco.
Harry then realised that they were near the shore, and he could see the crowd of people. Draco's hand wrapped around his, and Harry felt himself been pulled to shore.
Draco swam as fast as he could to shore, and pulled Harry onto the bank. There were gasps from the crowd that had developed. Draoc's fins disappeared, and he was wearing a pair of black trousers. But Draco didn't care. He could see Harry's eyes starting to close. He shook Harry, frantically.
'Don't you dare die on me.' he said. 'Change back.'
'I can't do it Draco.' answered Harry weakly. 'I'm too tired.'
'Please you've got to.' said Draco desperately.
'I'm sorry.' said Harry, closing his eyes.
Draco let tears fall down his cheeks. 'No.' he cried. 'Please no.'
He checked for a pulse, but couldn't find one. His tears started coming heavy now. He couldn't die. In a last attempt, Draco bent his head and kissed Harry on the lips. Praying that it would do something. Draco pulled back and looked at Harry. The boy didn't move or anything. Draco cried harder, and buried his head in his hands. It was only when there was a collective gasp, that Draco looked up. Harry was engulfed in a gold light, and his fin was slowly tuning back into legs. Draco watched, as the light vanished and Harry lay still. Then the boy opened his eyes, and smiled weakly at Draco. Draco felt his heart jump for joy at the sight of Harry smiling.
'I love you too.' Harry said.
