I'm sorry about the wait and this Chapter being so short but I think it's information that is needed to explain the story. I've not been writing the last few weeks while I have been at work.

Please remember this is male/male story in later chapters

I do not own Harry Potter in anyway or form

In later chapters there may be sexual content if you do not like then do not read!

Chapter 6

Draco woke up later than usual, not sure why. After helping his mother deal with organising her party of year as she called it, Draco was in his room writing a letter to Blaise about what Pansy trying to set up dates between him and Astoria. How bad the meeting actually was, he had nothing in common with the witch. She had pretty face and a great pureblood reputation, but nothing else.

He looked up from his detailed letter to Blaise when he heard a tapping at the window. There was an owl tapping at his window and it was one he did not recognise, why would any of his friend or family send him a strange owl?

As soon as he removed the letter and gave the creature a gallon and 2 Knuts for his journey and a drink of water it flew off which meant the owl wasn't waiting for a response. He noticed that there was no address to the letter or name. Draco found this very strange. He had never had a letter like this before so had no idea who in merlin's name who it could be from.
He ripped the letter open quickly and began reading to himself.

Dear well I know who you are,
I'm sure you are aware that I am awake from my coma state. I know you are probably not wanting to hear from me under any circumstances but I need to ask you some questions. I know you came to visit me when I was in my coma like state. As awaking I saw a figure similar to yours if I remember correctly and your scent.
I know we've both been through things no one should have to witness in a lifetime when we were only 16 and 17 years of age. I'm sure it made me a little bit more reckless and stopped me from being a child. I had to grow up a little more quickly and at age 14 the darkest wizard the world has ever known came back from the dead and your father was still serving him faithfully, but I do not wish to talk about that because it is a common known fact that cannot be changed and I know he paid for his crimes.
I know that it's no excuse for the way I've acted towards you in the past. I wish to speak to you about something, I know I have been quite unfair to you in the past. I would like a chance to speak to you about things please consider my request x

Draco stared at the letter for a moment his heart beating fast like he just ran 10 miles. There was no signature at the end that meant Harry had seen him or some other witch or wizard and was making fun of him, he though he didn't have those stupid round glasses on he wouldn't of seen him. His messed up hair the same as always even if he was lying on it still looked as bad! What in merlin's name could he have to ask after what happened last time they were in a room together?
Draco sat on his bed now that the house elf had made it and disapparated.

The last few meetings between Harry and Draco had been bad, but worst one was back in their 6th year, the day they broke up and broke Draco's heart. Draco had headed off his father and mother wishing him good health but he needed to do as the dark lord ordered him. They knew he was sweet and a kind hearted person who maybe finding it difficult with completing the task.

His mother was being held captive and Lucius would be released once he made progress, but making progress on fixing the cabinet had taken more time then he thought it would. By Christmas holiday the dark lord had asked for an update and when he was unable to give good news he was furious with them. His mother begged the dark lord to give them a little more time and they would complete his task if he did. This earned her a slap across the face and he dragged his long sharp nails across her cheek and down her jaw, he grabbed a handful of her hair and said,
"I do hope your not pregnant Lady Malfoy"
before throwing her to to the floor with force, he then turned his wand on her and without saying any words he had her screaming in pain rolling around on the floor. Draco knew what curse it was no word were needed. Draco flung himself onto the floor in tears,
"I-I promise m-my lord I- I will fix it!"
He turned his attention from Narcissa to Draco. He stepped towards Draco and said,
"See that you do Draco because if it is not finished soon you and your mother will be begging for death!"
Voldemort slowly moved his long bony finger along Draco's features on his face and slowly traced his lips, then his jaw line, "You are a pretty boy, are you still a virgin, still so pure and innocent, is that why you feel so bad about taking that old man life? Do I need to help you?"he said loud enough for Draco to hear.
Draco muttered
"Yes I'm a virgin but I will kill him and fix the cabinet."
Draco was not lying, he didn't sleep with Harry for the first time until Easter time and the thought of giving it to that monster made him want to scream and vomit.

Narcissa whimpered, which made him stop, he grabbed Draco around his neck so he couldn't breath and said,
"You will fix it before the school year is out, if you need help Severus will be more than happy to help you. If you don't succeed I will make sure I find a decent punishment for you before I kill you! Unless I find a better use for you."
His hands left Draco throat and Draco's hands grabbed onto the table to stop himself from falling on the floor. With a flick of his wand the table went flying across the floor and smashed into the body of Narcissa Malfoy. Draco was on the floor now, crying and trying to breathe. He could not fail, he had get his father released and protect them both. It was left up to him and he couldn't let that monster touch him again.
Voldemort turned toward the doorway and ordered,
"Bellatrix, help these two pathetic excuses for magic people and clean this place up"

She stood in the doorway with her head bowed the whole time, there was no way she would've interfered or said anything against her precious dark lord. It was clear to see she only had eyes for one man and that was not her husband, they didn't even sleep in the same bed these days. I think he was just as scared as her as he was of the dark lord but he too would never think of crossing the dark lord to help his wife's family while being tutored.

After the Christmas holiday Draco had kept away from Harry for a short time, he loved Harry more than anything else in the world and would do anything not to hurt him but he knew he was now on borrowed time. It wasn't long until he had to kill the headmaster and hurt Harry a lot more than any curse ever could. Around Easter time Harry asked Draco if he was bored of him and wanted to break up, he wanted to tell Harry the truth but how could he. He wasn't like Harry, he wasn't brave, he was barely making it through each day without breaking down. He told Harry he was a little stressed, that his mother wasn't coping well at home without his father. This had led to a passionate night of lovemaking on the astronomy tower.
When he got upset Harry just put it down to he was being a little bit dramatic about things. Draco regularly kept in touch with his mother writing about the progress he was making that led to a letter from his father saying he was out of prison, the dark lord had shown mercy because he progressed well.

That morning Draco saw Katie bell in the great hall with Harry. He remember the list of curses he had wrote down from a few books he found the Malfoy library. His chest felt tight the moment he saw them. What did she remember? What was his boyfriend going to do and would he believe him trying to kill her? She was not meant to touch or even look at the damn thing, she was to deliver it to Dumbledore and leave while it slowly killed him as he wouldn't be able to tell it was cursed till he touched it.

Draco had tried to calm his breathing down but it was no good, he turned and walked as fast as he could out of the great hall and up the grand stairs quickly as he was thinking where he could go? He first thought about heading down to the dungeons when he realised there would still be slytherins in there, he had not seen Blaise Zabini at breakfast so he must still be in the dungeons and he was the last person he could deal with.
He kept trying to breathe normally and stop tears from falling. He burst into the bathroom not being able to hold back the tears any longer. He cried holding onto the sink for support. Myrtle appeared as normal telling him everyone was ok and that she was there for him. He guessed she thought she was helping him after her terrible experience at Hogwarts. He told her how much it hurt him to do what he had to but if not he would kill him and his family. Katie Bell was now awake and explaining to Harry what evil things he had done and he could not cope anymore. Killing someone was just not right!

Harry burst in the room demanding an explanation as to why he ran off, to why he was acting like this and why he was crying in the girl's toilet? Draco tried to explain to Harry the whole thing, he was going die and his family got no choice but try kill she just got in way he wished he could been honest he loved him. Draco only got half way before Harry started getting angry and shouted that he couldn't trust Draco and the whole relationship was fake and he wasted his time. That he was just like his father and he had been willing to rip the wizarding world apart just help him and this is how he repaid him. Draco got out his wand, he wanted to shut Harry up and make him listen but Harry was faster and cast the first spell. Harry caught him and cut him to shreds, if Snape had turned up a few seconds later to save him sending Harry away he would be dead. Draco knew that was the end of their relationship, no way of sorting it out, not now.

Draco remember it well, how he let death eaters in with his heart beating so hard he couldn't think, how Snape had stepped forward and done the deed for him even with his crazy aunt shouting it was his job. How the light left Dumbledore eyes haunted Draco's dreams for well over a year and even ending up having to have therapy before he could start living a normal life again after the war.

The only time he saw Harry again was when he was brought to Malfoy manor by the snatchers. Draco's heart has fell into his stomach when the trio was brought to the manor, they were the only ones that could save everyone from him. Draco had lied because it was the only thing he seemed to be any good at and the thought of Voldemort killing him broke his heart. Harry had saved his life because he owed Draco after he lied to try save him.

How could he ever face Harry Potter, the saviour of the wizarding world ever again?

Draco laid on his bed with his eyes closed, it was way past lunch time with all the thoughts going through his head. He had seen all the newspaper articles of his reckless behaviour of him buying a death trap also known as a sport car not to mention that horrid bike that belong to Sirius black he recalled his mother mentioning he was Harry's godfather as well as her cousin. He had seen him in diagon alley staggering along like he was drunk or high which he was properly a bit of both. He followed him from a distance, worried what he was up to in that state. He followed him into a muggle crowded London street. He saw harry car and Harry was making his way toward it. Draco ran forward and stood in front of the door in the driver's side and said to Harry,
"Potter you can't possibly think of driving this, you can't even see straight and you smell of alcohol and drugs!"
"MOVE!"
Draco didn't move which caused Harry to push him out of the way. Draco landed on the ground which gave Harry enough time to get in the car. Before the car could move Draco apparated into the car, he knew this was risky, the car could move at any moment and he would end up splinched.

Draco tried to reason with him which was no good, Harry drove off at top speed with Draco. Draco opened his eyes, breathing a heave, he had not thought about that in a long time. He knew what happened to Harry the night he had his accident, how was he to face him again when the last couple of times they had met had ended in disaster!
