Hi, sorry about the delay. I was surprised by a weeks holiday in Tenerife, then I came back and I've been seriously ill, well I couldn't move and found it hard to breath, never mind the splitting headache that didn't go away for two days . and then whenever I start to write, someone else wants to use the computer . ok, I know they are excuses, but all true. Ok, Enough of my babble,

Disclaimer: I can't transfigure myself into anyone, let alone the great genius that is J. K. Rowling, so I don't owe anything that you recognise.

A little tiny note, *on my knees* Review! I love them!

. :: Part Two :: ...

Harry Malfoy, nee Potter, sat quietly next to the young blond wizard. He held his friend's hand gently, every now and then squeezing it, listening to the beeps from the heart monitor Draco was hooked up to.

"Come on Dray, you've got to pull through this. I know you can, you've got to help me put this good doctors and nurses through hell for calling you 'Drako'." A tear fell freely down Harry's face.

"Remember when first created that newspaper, the Hogwarts Weekly, remember all the chaos we caused with it. We managed to do the impossible and make Snape collapse from laughter. And we the fun we had researching all those ridiculous spells, just you, me and Ernie?" More tears spilled from Harry's eyes as his friend lay there unresponsive.

"Come on, Ernie's left me, Sirius left me, all my old friends that still live call me a traitor for siding with you and Blaise. Don't leave me too; I can't live without you and Lucius.

"If you wake up I promise I'll let you call me mum, or whatever you want to call me. You can even play with my favourite toys, especially my twin daggers. How about it?

"OH for Merlin's balls Draco, just DO SOMETHING!" Harry half-screamed the last part.

And Draco did something.

The beeping that had become soothing to Harry gradually become slower, followed by a loud beep.

Spinning around, Harry run to the door, "NURSE! HELP!"

Within moments Harry found himself surrounded with new faces. "Come on love, it's best if you wait outside and let the team work."

"But will he be alright?" Harry asked, almost like a child.

"They'll do everything they can," And Harry was steered out of the room while his friend remained inside, having muggles surrounding him and trying to save his life.

"What's taking so long, why can't they just give him CPR or something, or drugs, anything to get him better!" Harry exclaimed, pacing outside the room.

"Now, now dear, the doctors are doing their best, but you must remember that's your friend has been through a terrible ordeal." The nurse at his side said. Harry glared at her, one that would have put Snape on a bad day, to shame.

After ten more minutes, the team filed out. The last one out motioned Harry into the room. "I'm afraid that Draco's injuries were just too severe for his body to cope, Mr. Malfoy. There was very little chance he could recovered completely."

Harry said nothing, just stared at the lifeless body that once was full of life. Memories flooded his brain.

Their first meeting, in Diagon Alley.

The train journey where Harry insulted Draco.

Their first Quidditch match against one another.

Their little fights throughout their Hogwart years.

The fight against the Dementors where they and Ernie fought to save Padma's soulless body.

The first edition of Hogwarts Oracle.

The fun they had with Ernie MacMillan, pranking people and spying on others to find articles to write about.

The times spent in the Library trying to find comical spells to teach the student body.

The article that caused Snape to lose his cool with them and the one that had him sedated because he couldn't stop laughing.

The preparation they went through before finally defeating Voldemort.

Seven years of friendship, and no more, all because of a dumb car accident. Harry felt sick. The body in front of him, held neither the cold mask of indifference nor the hidden laughing face that Draco only allowed his true friends to see.

Harry lay on the bed, curled up to his comatose husband, seeking comfort.

Lucius was as cold as never before. His usually, flawless, pale skin was marred with bruises and cuts that were beginning to scar.

"Love, stay with me. Don't leave me, I can't take anymore deaths. I'd die without you. You're the only thing I have left, no one else."

Leaning over, Harry pressed his lips softly onto the perfect ones below him.

Harry heard a movement at the door, startled he turned.

"Nurse Goodhymn." Harry stared at her, "What's his chances like, truthfully?"

She sighed and entered the private room. "He's sustained serious injuries; it's amazing he is still alive now."

"You mean he's going to die." Harry said, a trail of tears fall down his face.

"You can never truly say, but yes, it looks like that will be the case."

Harry's left hand reached for his husbands, "I can't live without him. I love him too much to bear being separated."

Silence begin peacefully between them.

A slight shift caused them to turn to injured wizard. Opening his eyes, Lucius quickly found his husband's gaze.

Moments paused in which they just stared at each other in contentment; Harry smiled deeply, Lucius managing a weak smile.

Nurse Goodhymn moved towards the door to leave the couple alone, and she heard the words full of pain and truth.

"I love you, my darling kitten."

"And I you love." Harry spoke, tears falling from joy.

"Harry." Lucius sighed, his eyes closing. His breath slowing to a complete stop.

"Lucius, no, wake up, love please! For me!"

Tears fell from Harry, from Nurse Goodhymn, knowing that the man was dead. Neither needed the telltale beep of the heart monitor to tell them that.

"No." Harry collapsed on top of his husband's dead body.
