•The boy who gave up•


Draco woke up the morning after Harry had his nightmare, Him having just woke up was not able to realize that Harry was not right beside him, so he called for his green-eyed lover, "Harry my love, are you awake yet?" He asked, his eyes closed and his voice rough with sleep.

The tired boy waited a few moments before deciding Harry was still slumbering and went to drape his arms around Harry's waist before sitting up quickly when he discovered Harry wasn't there. "Baby!?" Draco yelled scared that harry got taken by you-know-who or by that outdated airheaded headmaster named Albus too many names Dumbledore.
It took ten minutes of Draco searching everywhere from his sleeping quarters to the common rooms in the Slytherin dorms did he find a note from his lover.

It looked like such an innocent note sitting on Harry's side of the bed, on the front of the letter there was a wax seal, the Potter/Malfoy crest he and Harry made for themselves standing out in the gaudy Gryffindor red and the deep Slytherin green making the seal stand out, turning the letter over the fourteen-year-old soon to be fifteen read the words on the front of the letter.


[Dear my beloved Draco]


The words set him off and he quickly opened the letter not caring about the seal or the way he tared the envelope, all he cared about was finding out where his lover went and what he was doing.

When he finally got the parchment out of the envelope he quickly read the letter his lover wrote while tears ran down his cheeks the farther he got in the letter.

After Draco finished reading the letter he fell to his knees, silent tears falling down his cheeks (because no matter what happens Malfoys do not sob) the thump of his knees hitting the ground made all the now awake Slytherins rush into his dorm room worried that someone was attacking.

When they got into the dorm room they stopped in shock because in front of them was Draco Malfoy the 'Ice prince' as some dubbed him, silently crying while looking at a letter whilst Potter, who they all saw go into the dorms to sleep with Draco, was nowhere to be found.

"Somebody get professor shape and Potter's friends I have a feeling this has something to do with Potter." A Prefect yelled and with that 4 people went out to find the people they needed to, with that out of way the Prefect turned to Draco before kneeling in front of the crying boy.

"Malfoy- Draco, I need you to tell me exactly what happened with you and Potter." The Prefect said in a calm voice although they were scared out of their minds, no one has ever seen a Malfoy this emotionally hurt before.

"Harry he..-" Draco started but only began crying, even more, he knew he wouldn't be able to tell them so he just handed the letter to the Prefect just as snape and Harry's friends walked through the door to the now crowded dorm room.

Professor snape enlarged the room before asking what had happened while staring at the disheveled Malfoy who was still sitting on the floor of the dorm room. The Prefect handed the letter to Snape, who then read it out loud for everyone to hear.

Professor Snape began reading the letter


[To my beloved Draco]


Before he was interrupted by someone that goes by the name Ronald Weasley. "Oh, great we're starting off cheesy." He huffed before looking down finding the ground very interesting as everyone glared at him.

"Anyways, where was I..." the Professor said before starting to read again as he found where he left off.


[I am so sorry for making you worried though I doubt you were but anyway I'm so sorry dear, I love you with all of my heart but-]


The Professor trailed off reading the next lines before freezing, making the student look at him in confusion. One of the students finally got the courage to ask the professor what was wrong and Snape continued reading.


[But I can't fight this war-]


Snape held up a finger to silence the protests before they happened "let me finish I'm sure he has a reason.." He explained before going back to reading.


[So I've gone to Voldemort-]


The Professor stopped, reading over the lines to make sure he didn't miss anything and that his brain didn't use what he had from the letter to make that sentence but that was what was on the paper, Every. Single. Time. So he continued reading after putting a silencing charm on the students so he could read without their interruptions.


[So I've gone to Voldemort to surrender. Just know that you own my heart and soul no matter what, but I want you to find someone else, someone less troublesome and difficult to not get in danger with, someone who preferably doesn't have a maniacal dark lord after their head-]


The dark-haired potions professor read before pausing to see how Draco was holding up. "How are you, Mr. Malfoy?" The 'dungeon bat' asked placing a hand on said boy's shoulder.

"Oh I don't know, my boyfriend of three years just walked into the arms of a madman to get said mad man to kill him and also asked me to move on just like that so I've got to say not that well as a matter of fact." Draco ranted before sighing and laying his face in his hands before looking up again. "Well? Are you going to continue reading or what."

"Alright let's continue shall we?" The Greasy haired Professor asked getting a chorus of 'yes' as his answer.


[Ok I'm running out of space to write, um.. tell Ron and Hermione I love them, they were the family I never had but always wanted and that they are the best friends I could have ever asked for. (god I wish we could start a family..) ]


The Potions master read while looking at Ron and Hermione.
Hermione was now openly crying into the red head's shoulder and Ron had tears in his eyes, you could tell they really cared about harry and that they both loved him like family would, they had been through so much together even the Slytherins knew that.

The Professor sighed while looking at the two crying teens, and then at the other crying teen in the room whose shoulders were now shaking in suppressed sobs, before continuing.


[Please don't mourn my leaving you for long I want you to find someone new to love perhaps Pansy Parkinson I know she's had a huge crush on you since 1st year. (was probably before then and it was kinda creepy how she looked at you love). ]


The Professor snorted at that while Draco looked up with a slightly disgusted face as pansy blushed but looked hopeful at the same time.

"No never," Draco said with an even more disgusted face as he thought about it, before laying his face down on his knees again, missing Pansy's sad and hurt face.


[Or Blaise Zabini he seems like a nice young lad he's not bad looking either-] *inserts Lenny face because I vibe with/simp for Blaise*


Snape continued as Zabini blushed at the compliment while also making a disgusted face at the thought of dating Draco, while Draco was doing the same thing except he made a jealous face at the compliment.

'that was an obvious no then' The students thought before waiting for their Professor to continue, Snape, seeing the looks continued reading while thinking of all the ways he could hurt Potter if this was a prank or if he got back alive if it wasn't a prank.


[But just go with anyone you want I love you Draco and if I never see you again just know I'm happy for you and I love you so much.]

- Your Gryffindor Boyfriend/ former enemy.]

[Ps. I'm going to miss you, you little arse.]


The Professor finished just as Draco let out a quiet sob before he was silent, his shoulders were shaking it suppressed silent sobs, he was shaking his head side to side while muttering "He's gone.." over and over again.

The other Slytherins, Professor, and the now Gryffindor duo all looked at each other, some first-year Slytherins crying and the older students (5th-7th year) with blank masks on (except Ron, Hermione, and obviously Draco) but every single one of them knew one thing, Draco was right. Harry Potter was soon to be no more than a memory.
