Chapter 9: The Next Day

Authors Note: Thank you all for the great reviews and I hope that you guys are having a great Valentines Day. I wasn't going to update till the weekend but I couldn't wait that long. LoL. Hope you enjoy this next chapter. There will be a little angst though because Harry and Draco both have to deal with the past before they can truly move forward.

The next morning Draco awoke to find Harry spooned next to him with his arm across his chest. It had been an amazing night for both of them he just hoped that Harry still felt the same way as he did last night. Draco laid there and watched Harry sleep for a while before drifting back off himself.

Harry woke up an hour later to find Draco still lying next to him. He had been afraid that Draco would have left after what had happened last night but he was so glad to see him still there. Draco woke up again right after Harry. "Good morning love" said Draco. "Good morning to you too Draco" came Harry's sleepy reply. "Draco I wanted to say thank you for last night and not leaving me along this morning" came Harry's very scared reply. "Harry I would never leave you in fact I was afraid that you would regret what happened between us last night." Said Draco. Harry was a little upset at this but he didn't say anything because he didn't want to ruin what little intimate moment they were having. Draco saw that Harry wasn't happy but didn't say anything because Harry's comment had also upset Draco and he didn't want to fight with Harry not after last night.

Draco got up out of bed and started getting dressed. "Draco where are you going so soon asked Harry". I have to go back to my hotel and let McGonagall know that I found you she's been very worried" Draco told Harry. "No Draco you can't do that to me I don't want them to know where I am please Draco" came Harry's desperate reply. "See I knew you just came back here to just let me down like you always did came Harry's very tearful reply"

"Why would you think I would do that to you I told you I loved you and I proved that last night and so did you" Draco said in his very angry but firm tone of voice. "Yeah I know what you said but obviously that was just a lie to get me to trust you so I would sleep with you then you would go home and tell everyone what happened and let them all know where I am" "YOU JUST DON'T GET IT DO YOU DRACO I DON'T WANT TO BE FOUND"! Harry was furious now. Couldn't Draco see why he didn't want this was he that blind? "No Harry I see why you're a scared little boy who doesn't want to face the fact that you lived. You had a death wish going into the war you didn't think you were going to survive well you did and now you have to deal with it." Shouted Draco.

"Gee Draco that's funny coming from someone who killed there own father. Shouted Harry back at Draco. Draco officially lost it then. "You know what Potter your right I did kill my father and do you know why at Harry's answer of no Draco went on. I killed him because he was going to kill you, you stupid jerk and I couldn't imagine my life with out you in it". Came Dracos very angry reply. Harry burst in to tears after that. "Draco I'm so sorry I didn't know I honestly didn't know please forgive me." Harry repeated this over and over again while curling up in to a little ball. "Harry I'm sorry too I didn't mean what I said and I forgive you I know you didn't mean it either. Draco said in between his own sobs." "Draco it's true though what you said. I wasn't supposed to live. My friends were and it's so hard. Harry said in his tearful reply.

"I won't tell McGonagall that I found you if that's what you really want but you can't hide for ever". Said Draco. "No Draco don't tell her. I will go with you myself if that's ok?" asked Harry as he waited for Dracos answer all he could think about was how afraid he was to go back to Hogwarts. To a place he never thought he would see again.
