Harry didn't bother to fix himself up before leaving his room. He was about to make the most drastic decision of his life, he didn't care about how he looked at the moment. He walked down the main halls until he got to Snape's class. He was a few minutes late as always. Blaise and Draco were sitting at the first table to the far right. Hermione was sitting at the middle table with an empty seat for Harry. Ron was missing from his seat in the far left.

"Mr. Potter." Snape called across the room.

All the students wondering eyes fell on Harry.

"You're late."

"I-I'm sorry Professor, It won't happen again." Harry's knees were shaking.

"Take your seat Mr. Potter."

Harry walked over to his seat and sat down feeling sweat form on his forehead.

"Rough night, Potter?" Blaise laughed. Draco hit Blaise in the shoulder and told him to shut up.

Hermione leaned in closer to Harry.

"Are you alright?" She whispered.

"Y-Yeah, I'm fine." Harry took out his book and placed it on his desk. He looked to his right and made complete eye contact with Draco. Draco smiled and said "I love you" silently, as Harry saw clearly while reading his lips. The sight made Harry go completely weak. He could feel the pain rushing through his veins like poison spreading throughout his bloodstream. He couldn't do this, he didn't have the strength. Harry looked away immediately when Snape handed him his test. Harry looked at the test a realized he didn't know a single answer. Harry stood up and brought his test up to the front of the room.

"I'm sorry Professor; I can't concentrate on this right now." Harry handed Snape back the test and turned to walk out of the room. Everyone stared at him while he walked past each of the desks.

"Mr. Potter! You walk out of here now and I'm failing you!" Snape called out. Harry just ignored him and continued on his way. Draco shot up from his desk and ran after Harry before Snape could protest.

"Harry!" Draco caught up to Harry half way down the hall.

"Draco, go back! If you don't he'll fail you."

"I don't care. You're more important to me than a test."

Draco wrapped his arms around Harry pulling him close. Harry needed to pull away but he couldn't. Once he was in Draco's arms he felt secure; like nothing in the world could tear them apart.

"Please tell me what's wrong." Draco smelled Harry's hair and closed his eyes. His scent was intoxicating.

Harry pulled away when he realized he was only making the situation worse. Saying goodbye was the hardest thing to do and he was only making the situation linger on in the depths.

"Stop it!" Harry took a step back from Draco.

"What?" Draco also took a step back.

"Just stop it . . . your not making this easy." Harry turned his face away. He had to get a hold of himself, it was his only chance.

Draco stood there for a moment; he didn't know what Harry was trying to say or why he was acting so strange.

"This can't work, Draco. We can't be together, it's just wrong." As each word slipped out Harry felt a terrible pain in his chest pulsing through his heart.

"Why are you saying this?! How can it be wrong if we love each other?"

Draco tightened his hands around Harry's wrists so he couldn't run away.

Harry looked at him staring straight in his eyes and poured out what was left of his remaining heart.

"I don't love you." Harry made his voice stern yet it sounded like a whisper.

Draco's eyes were becoming watery but his once compassionate expression was now turned to fury.

"Don't fucking lie to me!" Draco tightened his grip around Harry's wrists.

Harry pulled away with much difficulty and turned his back to Draco.

"This was a mistake, Draco. You know it and I know it. It's an impossible . . . I'm sorry." Harry closed his eyes, trying to block out the thrashing sound of his heart beating out of his chest.

"I don't understand . . ." Draco was almost on his knees.

Harry turned around and faced Draco. He couldn't bear to look at him, he had become deathly pale and his silent tears were streaming down his face.

"Neither do I, Now just go!"

Draco pulled himself back up with as much strength as he could offer.

"No! Not until you tell me the truth!"

"You want the truth?! Is that what you want? Well here it is; Ron is my best friend, he's been there for me since day one. But where were you, Draco huh? Where were you when I was alone . . . and I needed someone? Where were you when Sirius died and the whole school turned on me? WHERE WERE YOU?!"

Draco couldn't speak; his tears were overwhelming and choked up each word he was trying to say. He stood up forcefully and threw Harry against the wall, he wanted to kiss him and punch him at the same time.

"How could you do this to me?!" Draco pushed Harry harder against the wall. The screams were heard by Dumbledore and Snape.

"Mr. Malfoy! Release him at once!" Dumbledore pulled Draco back and Snape held him still. Draco could barely stand he was falling all over himself crying uncontrollably. Harry stared at him in horror as he watched his love fall to peices right before his eyes. Harry became terribly dizzy and the last thing he heard was Draco call his name before the blackness crept over.
