A/N: Sorry been a little while since I have updated, my muse left. Now with it being my birthday it seems to have graced me with its presence once again. I also realized I have 5 stories going so I sure am glad it Is back. The poll is not closed for this story and you will soon find out who won to end up with Draco….

Chapter 5:

Draco woke up feeling exhausted, he remember falling asleep, the last thing he remembered was Theo coming in the room and trying to rape him. Everything else after that was a big blur. As he began to move around, waking up, he came in contact with another body. He quickly froze, wondering who the hell was in his bed.

As he turned his head, he gasped in surprise, to see Anthony laying next to him. He looked so peaceful, laying there sleeping. Draco wondered why the other boy was sleeping in his bed, with him. He decided it was time to get up and figure out what happened. When he moved he felt Anthony stirring and froze in the spot he was at.

Suddenly an arm reached out and pulled him over towards the other body, he wasn't sure what he should do. Once he was pulled fully into the body next to him he decided to stay there. He wanted to savor every moment in these arms, they felt warm and safe, and he needed that right now. He didn't care why Anthony was in his bed anymore, or that he would freak out when he woke up. He just wanted to stay there forever, he knew right then that after everything he had tried, he had undoubtedly fallen for the boy next to him.

He felt Anthony started moving around about an hour later and he froze, not knowing how to react. Anthony slowly moved his arm from around Draco and sat up in the bed, stretching. Draco didn't want to move, he didn't even want to breath, he was waiting for the yelling and screaming to come from Anthony.

"Draco are you awake?" He heard Anthony ask. Draco sat up and looked at the other boy, surprised not to see him sickened by waking up next to him.

"Why?" Was all Draco could get out of his mouth, he needed to understand.

"You were so upset last night, we couldn't get you to stop crying. I was so worried about you. What happened Draco, please tell me." Draco looked into Anthony's eyes and was surprised to see real concern in them, he gave in quickly, only wanting someone, anyone to actually care for him. So he told him everything that he remembered about when Theo came into the room and he was really surprised when Anthony reached over and pulled him into a hug.

Draco couldn't help him self, while he was in Anthony's embrace he snuggled his face into the boys neck and breathed him in, he smelt so good. He thought he felt Anthony shiver as his breath hit the boys neck, but brushed it aside. Draco's arms unconsciously moved on their own, one up and down Anthony's back and the other to the boys neck. He really couldn't help it, no one has shown him this much contact in a very long time, that wasn't including pain. He wanted it to last as long as he could and heard himself give a little whimper when he felt Anthony slowly pulling away. Draco dropped his arms and his head as he felt the boy moving away from him, towards the other side of the bed, and felt small tears going down his face.

"Draco are you alright, why are you crying?" Anthony asked as he placed a hand on Draco's arm. Draco quickly moved his arm out of the boys reach and stood up from the bed.

"Anthony I appreciate your worry for me, I really do, but could you not touch me again." Draco kept his face down as he said this, knowing the boy didn't hold any feeling towards him.

"Draco I'm sorry, I just thought you might need a hug."

"Thanks alright, thank you for watching out for me last night, and not freaking out this morning, but you just don't understand what you…..never mind I have to go." Draco quickly grabbed clothes out of his trunk and ran for the bathroom. He didn't see how confused Anthony looked still sitting on his bed.

After he dressed he could hear Anthony, Justin and Ernie talking out side in their room. He wanted to know what they were saying so he stayed, pressed up against the door, listening to them.

"How could you sleep in that bed all night with that freak?" He heard Ernie ask.

"Hey you don't have to be such an ass Ernie." Justin snapped at him

" He needed someone, he told me what happened and I am glad I was there for him." Anthony told the other two.

"I just don't understand how you could be so close to him like that. I wouldn't be able to wake up in the morning seeing that scar looking at me." It sounded like Ernie shivered after what he said, causing Draco to fight back tears. He knew that no one would want to look at his face all the time, that was why he knew he had to come to terms with being alone for the rest of his life.

"How could you. No never mind. I felt something when I hugged him."

"YOU HUGGED HIM?" Ernie yelled.

"Shut up he will here you." Justin snapped

"I DON'T CARE HE IS A FREAK AND A GIANT ASS I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY YOU WOULD TOUCH HIM."

"I don't understand it myself." Draco had heard enough when he heard Anthony come out with that. Draco knew the only reason Anthony gave him that hugged was because he felt sorry for him. He threw the door open and practically ran out of the room, away from his roommates and the calling of his name.

He felt every ones eyes on him as he walked down the halls, and knew that they were whispering about him. He knew he was the freak of the school, but why did he have to be reminded of it every day of his damn life. All he wanted was to graduate and leave this place behind, find a place of his own and run a potions shop out of his home. He never planned on leaving his house, or facing anyone ever again. Now he understood why his godfather stayed alone, he never had to worry about getting hurt from someone again.

Suddenly he felt himself shoved against a wall and hands holding tightly onto his shoulder, finger digging in, causing pain. When he looked up at his attackers face he tried not to yell out, Blaise was standing there, with rage pouring out of his eyes.

"I told you to stay the hell away from Theo, FREAK."

"I haven't gone near him, he came to me. Tell him to leave me ALONE."

"He would never go to you on his own, you made him."

"No ask my room mates, they will tell you he came to my room." Blaise slammed him against the wall, causing the stone to dig into his back, sending pain down thought-out his body.

"Then why did he leave me? Said he was getting back with you. I want him back, stay the hell away from what is mine." Blaise kneed him in the groin but continued to hold him up so he wouldn't fall down.

"I….I don't want him back." Draco groaned out, trying not to pass out from the immense pain. Blaise let go of him then, laughing as Draco fell instantly to the floor.

"Good, remember what will happen if I do find out he is back with you." Blaise kicked him once before he left and it took Draco several minutes before he could stand up again. He slowly made his way to potions and cringed when he saw every head look at him when he entered.

"Mr. Malfoy, what happened to you?" His godfather asked looking concerned.

"Nothing." he spat out before he sat down next to Ernie.

After class he quickly went out to the lake and sat down hard onto the ground. He wanted nothing more than to stay there for the rest of his life. He knew that wouldn't last as he heard footsteps behind him and felt the ground shift as someone sat beside him. He knew from the smell of the person that it was Theo and he quickly stood up and started to walk away.

"Draco please, Love don't go." That made Draco stop in his tracks and swiftly turn around, wand in hand, and looked at his ex.

"Do not call me that. Go back to you psycho boyfriend and leave me the hell alone." Theo walked closer, not caring that there was a wand pointed at him.

"I don't want to be with him, I love you Draco, always have."

"NO YOU DON"T, if you loved me you would have been here for me, not leaving me just because of this" He pointed to the scar on his face, "You wouldn't have tried forcing your self on me in my room and you damn well wouldn't have let Blaise attack me."

"He What?"

"He beat the shit out of me before potions, so go back to him. I do not love you any longer and I do not need someone like you in my life. Please just let me move on and leave me alone." Draco didn't wait for a response, he just turned around and left Theo standing there thinking about everything he just said.

"Draco, DRACO" he heard someone yelling to him as he was almost to his room. Turning around he saw Anthony walking up to him.

"We need to talk" Anthony stated

"About what?" Draco didn't want to talk to anyone right now, all he wanted to do was go to god damn bed.

"Come" Anthony said as he grabbed Draco's hand and pulled him down the hall into an abandoned class room, and placing locking and silencing charms on the room.

"Alright what is it you wanted to talk to me about."

"You…me..us."

"Us there is no us, what are you talking about."

"This morning you started to say I don't know what I do to you, you didn't finish but I knew that is what you were going to say. What do I do to you Draco?" Draco backed away from Anthony and stopped when he felt his back against the wall.

"Nothing, you do nothing to me. There we are done, can I go now?"

"No. Because I know what you do to me. If it is anything like what you think I do to you than I want to know."

"What…What do I do to you?" Draco asked, his breath hitched and he couldn't believe for one minute it was the same thing.

"You Draco Malfoy drive me completely crazy." Anthony said as he walked closer to Draco. "You always have ever since first year, you would never talk to me, never even believe I was alive. When you hexed me before and I saw the concern in your eyes, it gave me hope. Then we were forced to room together this year, I couldn't believe it. You told me your secret and I told you mine, I felt so close to you that night, I freaked out when you leaned into my touch, I'm sorry for that." He stepped even closer to Draco, Draco could feel there toes touching.

"Then the thing with Nott happened, god that scared me, I thought he really did something to you. You were so hysterical the only thing I could think of to get you to calm down was to lay next to you. When I woke up and you were in my arms it felt like heaven to me Draco, god you don't even understand." His hand came up and gently grabbed Draco's face, his thumb running a line over his cheek and down his jaw. Draco shivered at the gentleness of it while leaning into it once again.

"When I hugged you and you didn't pull away I was so happy, then I felt your breath on my neck and your hands on my body and I was so afraid t let you go, knowing you would run away again. You drive me absolutely nuts Draco." Anthony stopped talking and Draco was looking into his eyes, he didn't know what to say or what to do. He thought this gorgeous boy hated him, was only being nice out of pity.

Then he felt it, the soft lips press hesitantly onto his, ever nerve in his body was crying out to be touched. He responded by wrapping a hand into Anthony's hair and one on his waist, pulling them together. Anthony opened his mouth granting access to Draco's tongue. Draco moved it into every inch, exploring and memorizing everything. He couldn't believe this was happening, then something clicked and he slowly pulled away, catching his breath before he spoke.

"Is this real? Are you just playing with me?' He asked, eyes downcast in fear of rejection. He felt fingers lift his chin to look into Anthony's eyes and saw a smile playing out on those magnificent lips.

"No Draco, my feelings for you are as real as they can be. I have been falling for you a little everyday since first year, and even more now. I want to be with you, I want everyone to know how I feel about you."

"Why you will only get hurt for being with me, the freak."

"Do not ever call yourself that again, nothing that happened to you is your fault, let them talk, I don't care. I just want to be with you, please, say you'll be with me. Say you'll be my boyfriend."

Draco knew what he was going to say, there was no way he wouldn't be with this boy. He had shown him so much compassion since the beginning of the year, so much love and understanding. He was the only person that didn't make him feel like a freak and he was grateful for that. He knew he had feelings, strong feeling for Anthony so he answered him.

"Yes Anthony, I would like that very much." A smile played out on Anthony's face before he pressed their lips together again. Draco knew he could definitely get used to this. The feeling of happiness spreading threw him for the first time since he received his scars.
