Without You Chapter 18- Summer of His smile.
I never thought a smile could mean anything, but the summer Harry spent with me was the first summer in my entire life that every smile meant something. He'd smile at my jokes, at my silliness, at everything, and every smile of his gave me another reason to love him. We laughed practically the whole summer simply loving each other. I learned so much about Harry that summer, and ones of those changed the meaning of his smile forever.
We were talking about Hogwarts and their wish to teach those who couldn't be taught due to the war last year, and whether we wanted to return to school. During this talk, which lead to more laughter, Harry just suddenly stopped laughing and spoke with such sorrow. "I have never laughed so much in a summer before. Draco, this has been the best summer of my life. I must admit that if this is what summers will always be like this that it can only get better from here. Jeez, before Hogwarts I never smiled. I had no reason to smile, but thanks to you and others I have learned the importance and value to smiles."
I started to cry, and he held me close and whispered to me. "Hey, don't cry you given me a reason to smile. I would rather see your smile than see your tears. The only tears I ever want to see are tears of joy okay?"
I wept for a small while and then hugged him hard. "I will make sure that every summer is the best summer Harry because I always want to see you smile."
"That won't be hard because all you have to do is smile and my day becomes my favorite day. I love you Draco and being by your side makes this summer the best summer."
He kissed my lips as he continued to soothe me of my tears, but the thought that he didn't know how to smile before Hogwarts will always stay with me. I swore to myself that no matter how much it would take I would make him smile every day until the day I died because he deserves to smile it's the least I could do for him. A mad man once told me that the devil once sold his soul for a single smile that could change the world, but nobody could give him one. I now understand why he'd sell his soul for these moments. My life can never be the same since the summer of his smiles.
We planned to have our wedding to be the next summer at this very garden with all our friends and family at this place where I learned the value of my smiles for him. It was my way of making sure that next summer he'd smile for sure. He laughed at that comment but told me that it was perfect. It was my way of giving him just one more smile for the day.
After that we decided that we would return to Hogwarts for one more year. Though we were worried about being separated, we knew we could find ways to stay close even though we were in different houses. I decided then that every summer with Harry would be the best summer ever.
