A/N: I know this hasn't been updated in forever but I lost my list of quotes and everything just sort of stuttered to a halt. Anyway, better late than never, right?
6. You will always be fond of me. I represent to you all the sins you never had the courage to commit.
Harry is only vaguely aware of the rainwater dripping from his hair and running in rivulets down his face. He can barely feel the formal dress robes hanging soaked and heavy on his shoulders.
All he can see is Draco. Gorgeous, perfect, wonderful Draco.
"You shouldn't be here, Harry. You're getting married." Draco is firm and Harry's heart almost breaks at the sound of it, head drooping forward and tears quickly adding to the tracks left by the rain.
"I don't know what to do Drake."
"Standing on my doorstep in the pouring rain isn't going to help matters."
"I love you, Drake."
There's a sharp intake of breath and Harry feels the tight ball of tension in his stomach loosen at the sound of it.
"No, Potter. No you don't. We had our chance and we failed. You're getting married in an hour," Draco sounds resolute, no bitterness, no tears, no nothing, and Harry daren't raise his eyes from the hem of Draco's robes to check.
"What if I was wrong?"
"What ifs aren't helping either. You want to marry Ginny."
"I love you! I will always love you." Harry's pretty sure he's sobbing now, an unattractive sodden mess.
"Everyone gets cold feet before their wedding. You don't love me. You're in love with the idea of what we used to have. Your life with Ginny will be everything I could never offer you. Normal. You have what you wanted. Be happy."
Draco's front door is slammed before he can ever think of how to reply. Hours later, when he and Ginny and slowly swaying together to the beat of a song he doesn't know but has been told is 'theirs', all he can think is that if this is what he wanted, why does he feel so hollow?
OOOOOO
A/N: Not really very sure if I like how I wrote it but I'll go with it. I have a plan and half written stuff for the next few chapters. If I get some interest I'll ignore my revision and write more.
