Chapter 5

[And I don't want the world to see me

Cause I don't think that they'd understand]

As Harry headed out to the Quidditch field to grab his broom, Draco headed up to the Astronomy tower. There had always been a small string of hope left in him, but Harry's not knowing who he was, was as the knife that cut the string.

'How many steps can there be?' Draco thought to himself as he climbed faster, his madness blinding him. 'Oh well, the tower will still be there when I get there. Why doesn't he know who I am? He was the only one that ever did, no one does I guess. I'm not that important.'

What felt like an icy shadow falling over him came and went, and he had noticed it, he had walked through Peeves, the resident poltergeist.

"Oi! Wee little Malfoy out tonight is he?" Peeves cackled in an overly ripe voice. "Well I wonder if I should just go and my feline friend?"

"Bugger off Peeves," Draco shot back, walking on and ignoring the renowned troublemaker.

"Oh, are we in a hurry somewhere? Meeting someone in the tower? Mister Filch will be up anytime now. Caught a few Hufflepuffs last week, and's making sure they don't come back."

"Leave me alone Peeves. It's none of your business why I'm here." Draco paused for the better recollection of time. "And if you tell anyone that I'm here, I will curse you to high heaven and make sure Dumbledore sees to your expulsion from the castle."

"Just warning you, feisty little Slytherin, I'm not the only one lurking about tonight!"

After giving Draco a nasty look, complimented by a few thrown rolls of toilet paper he had managed to hide, Peeves flew off cackling about the Prefects Loo. Draco just shook his head, and continued on to the second, and highest, astronomy tower. A gust of strong wind was what greeted him as he pushed open the door to the tower, and stepped out into the shadowy veil of night. In the distance, the sun was just going over the flat plains and moors of the countryside, giving off its dying rays of red sunlight as the moon climbed victoriously to the throne of the sky.

He slowly walked, one foot in front of the other, over to the edge of the tower and looked down. A sheer incline of 100% into the jagged rocks of the lake was what greeted him in the barely visible view below. It seemed so simple now to Draco. Life was just horrible to him, and there was no point to living if no one cared about him. All he had to do was jump, no just step off, and it would all be over. Life as he knew it, horrible, wasteful, and cruel, would all be over.

He prepared himself to jump, but couldn't bring himself to do it. Miserable and angry towards himself, he sat down and thought things over. There were only two more years left before he could leave his family and start new, start over.

'Who am I kidding,' he thought bitterly towards himself. 'You're a Malfoy, you don't have the chance to start over. Fate has had it in for you since the moment you were born.'

He laughed aloud, his sanity slipping even further away into the darkness of his mind. Malfoy's didn't start over, they kept going, like any other pureblood family. Especially him, he was now branded by the Dark Lord. There was no point to going on. He had no friends, no real family, and Harry could never be his. Nothing important could ever be his.

The biggest mistake I ever made in life was to love someone and not do anything about it. I know that you like him, even thought your fellow classmates would not approve of him, but are restrained in doing anything about it. Love knows no gender or age, always remember that.

The world professor Snape had told him on the first day of the semester flooded back to him as he looked over the edge once more.

'Love knows no gender or age,' he thought to himself. 'And love doesn't know me.'

He stepped up to the edge of the tower, put one-foot over the edge, and prepared to jump.

[When everything's made to be broken

I just want you to know who I am]

Harry ran to the Quidditch field, and grabbed his Firebolt to do some laps around the stadium. Flying was the one thing that cleared Harry's mind, the only time he could be alone. He took off from the pitch and circle around the stadium once. In his mind he tried to picture the cheers from when they would win the Quidditch cup that year, but the only sound that came to him were the screams of people dying that he heard everytime Voldemort's Death Eaters attacked an area.

'Life's just not all that it's cut out to be,' he thought to himself. 'Especially not for the boy who lived to be haunted by dreams and unbodied voices.'

He tried to clear his head, and focus on flying but the only thing that came to mind were the dreams he kept having, and the slightly disturbing rendezvous he had just had with Draco.

'Draco?' he thought to himself in his bewilderment. 'Where did that come from? He's just Malfoy, annoying and selfish Draco...er.... Malfoy!'

You're a pale, snobby, little, arrogant prick. Isn't that what all Malfoy's are like?

Harry jumped, almost falling off of his broom midair. Malfoy wasn't even in his dreams, was he? That meant three people were having the dream, or so Harry thought, for someone had to be his supposed 'girlfriend' in his dream.

'Malfoy must know who it is then!' Harry thought rather excitedly to himself.

He took off for the castle, flying to the main entrance, when he noticed someone on the highest tower.

'That's strange,' he thought aloud. 'There's not an astronomy class up there, I wonder what they're doing?'

He flew around to the top of the tower, behind and out of the line of sight of the person who was up there. Harry didn't want to be caught by Filch or ever worse, Snape. The person on the tower surprised Harry. It was Draco! Slowly, Harry landed his broom, making sure that Draco couldn't hear him over his mutterings.

Harry gasped as Draco got up from his spot of solitude on the cold ground and walked over to the edge, laughing quietly to himself. He had just put a foot over, when Harry decided that he had seen enough and it was now time for him to intervene.

"Draco, what are you doing?" Harry surprised himself by saying in a softer tone then he would have normally used.

"Just back away Harry and leave me alone," Draco snapped at him. "This doesn't concern you at all, not in the least bit."

"Well it does now! Draco Malfoy, step away from the edge and come with me to the hospital wing, it's obvious that you need help right now."

Draco put his foot back on the ledge and turned to face Harry. Harry was surprised when he saw Draco's normally pale and smooth face tinged red with anger and streaked with tears. A weird look came on Draco's face, almost one of heartsick angst, before a look of the utmost rage took its place.

"Get out of here," Draco said in a voice that could freeze hell over. "You don't understand, and you'll never understand. You don't even care! Just leave me alone!"

"Just because it looks like I hate you doesn't mean that I don't care about you."

"Don't make me laugh. No one cares about me, and no one ever will. I'm just an annoyance the world could do without."

Just because it looks like I hate you doesn't mean that I don't care about you.

Don't make me laugh. No one cares about me, and no one ever will. I'm just an annoyance the world could do without.

Harry gasped as he heard the voices again, repeating the same things that he and Draco had said to each other. The same voice, the same expression. The voice, that voice!!

A look of realization came onto Harry's face as he realized it was Draco that had been in his dreams, as a look of dread came on Draco's. He looked back at Harry once more, before turning to the edge.

"Good-bye Harry," was all he said, before he stepped off the edge of the tower and fell into the shadows of doom below.

The End

Anyone want a sequel? I'm not sure I should, maybe it should just be one of those mysterious endings. I mean, sure Harry has his broom, but will he save Draco? I don't know, well I you want a sequel, tell me. Review please!
