Broken
Draco and Harry went back to their no talking state. But it was different this time. There was no hate. No jealousy. There were never no need for words. There was electricity between them when they passed through the halls. Desire. Harry finally talked to Ron and Hermoine about Draco. They we a bit shocked a first, but realized Draco made Harry happy. So they let it be. Harry was gay.
Christmas time. Just about the entire school left. Who could blame them. This would be the first Christmas without any worries of Voldemort. There were about 40 people staying at the school. It would be hard for Draco and Harry to avoid eachother. But Christmas Eve it all changed.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Instead of opening presents in the common rooms, this year everyone went to the Great Hall. Since there were so little people. Christmas Eve Harry went to put his gifts out. He got Ron a book on Quidditch plays and Hermoine a golden necklace with her name on it. He also got Draco something. A silver pocket watch, with a green dragon engraved on it, his name was also on it. Inside there was a message engraved on the side.
It said:
To My Silver Eyed Dragon
May You Always Keep Me Safe.
Love,
Harry
Harry personally thought it was corny. But Hermoine seemed to like it all the same. He placed the gift under the tree and as he turned to go back to the common room. There was one thing in his way. Draco Malfoy.
"Umm. Hey. Draco."
"Hi." Silence. It was starting to bug Harry. Usually in the past he would have taken this opportunity to cast a couple of insults. But now. He just wanted to hold him and stoke back his hair and.. "Look Harry, I'm sorry about that incident with my father. you know. he really needed to talk to me."
"Oh. And what about." The conversation was getting quite bitter.
"I can't tell you now."
"Oh. Not now? When? In a couple of weeks when I have another suicide attempt? YOU NEVER TALK TO ME! I POURED MY HEART OUT TO YOU AND ALL YOU COULD SAY IS ' CAN YOU LEAVE'!!" Harry could feel his blood rising.
"I KNOW! I KNOW! But Harry. you don't understand."
"Then MAKE me understand."
"I love you Harry."
Silence. Harry was speechless
"But." **That god damn but** " My father has arranged a marriage for me after I leave Hogwarts."
** Ouch. Damn. That hurt **
"Then. we.we are over?"
"Well we never actually got started. Really C'mon Harry. It wouldn't work out. I mean. I'm a Malfoy."
"A MALFOY!! Just because you're a bloody Malfoy it doesn't mean anything. I have tormented myself because of MY feelings OF you. And all you have to say is ' it won't work because I'm a Malfoy'" The tears came. Harry sank to the floor. "I thought you said you loved me."
"Oh God Harry I do love you! But don't you understand? My father is soon going off to prison and I will have to carry on the family name. He has made sure I have a suitable wife to do this."
"So now it's what your father wants. Not what you want. Let's do what daddy says."
"DON'T MOCK ME POTTER!! IF YOU HAD PARENTS YOU WOULD UNDERSTAND WHAT IT WOULD FEEL LIKE! I AM OBLIGATED TO CARRY ON THE NAME!!"
Draco realized what he just said.
"Oh God Harry. I didn't mean that. about the parents.. I mean.. I am so."
"Save it Malfoy. your right. I mean we only shared one kiss. I only am starting to come out of the closet. I only tried to commit suicide. It's not love. It's just a little crush. Nothing more. Nothing less."
Harry left. As he went back to the common room. He heard little clatters follow him. And he knew that it was the sound of his heart breaking. Piece by piece. Leaving a trail behind him.
