Harry trotted down towards the willow, his eyes peeled. He had is wand ready for attack, he was being overly cautious and he knew it. He came to the willow and stopped...no one was there, because he was twenty minutes early..."Harry?" said an uncertain voice...Harry recognised it...he spun around to see Draco walking toward him, he too had his want out.
"What do you want...I actually have stuff to do you know."
"I'm not here to take your time Potter; I wanted to talk to you. I've had some problems with my dad and I need some help...I know you think I'm mad, and if you want to eave I'll understand" his voice cracked.
Harry turned around to leave, but he looked back, he looked so pale, and his eyes were hollow "he seems so innocent" Harry thought to himself... Harry's feet took him to face Draco; it was like he had no control over his body... "Let me help you" he was astounded at his own daring, but there was something that made it right. They sat on the grass next to each other and Harry leaned against the tree.
Malfoy said it almost in one breath...
"my dads been hitting me and wanting me to join Voldermort, I wont because I don't want to disappoint him and make him angry, been hitting my mum and I cant stop him, I don't have any friends and I cant talk to anybody"
Harry stared and visions whizzed through his mind...Malfoy put his head in his hand and didn't look up for a long time, he began to shake with sobs. Harry took him by the shoulders and lifted his chin so he could look into his eyes. His tear-streaked cheeks were tinged with pink, and his grey eyes were filled with sadness. Harry moved his head closer and kissed him...Draco kissed him back, but Harry pulled away and looked mad at himself...Draco looked hurt, Harry eased up.... "Dunnowherethatcamefrom" Draco gave a weak smile... "I don't either, but thanks..." Harry smiled at him...maybe he loved him, maybe he was sorry for him, but he knew that what just happened was right...very right. They kissed again, this time they were both in it, Harry pushed Draco gently onto the ground and they lied there together... Draco sat up "Harry, will you hate me if say this?" harry propped himself up on his elbows "no, what is it" "I love you."
"What do you want...I actually have stuff to do you know."
