Disclaimer: I own nothing except for the plot (???) to this fic and the poem at the end of each chapter.
Alright.. So here is the final chapter. This is my Christmas present to all the reviewers... I finally updated/finished the story. I wish I had more pride in this story for then I would be able to make a bigger deal about it coming to a close. I hope the ending doesn't seem too fluffy or unrealistic. In any case, even though it didn't turn out how I wanted it too I did have fun writing it and all the kind and encouraging reviews have meant so much to me. So thank you very much to everyone who reviewed my story throughout this entire time and those who joined in through the middle and end. I have two other stories "Vanilla" and "Crucify my Love". It would mean a lot to me if anyone reading this fic would check those out as well and perhaps leave a review. Thanks so much. I also will be working on a new and better Harry/Draco fiction and I'm making a few Lupin/Snape fan fictions for another site that I may post here. I hope to hear from all of you again! And now onto the thanks for last chapter...
Rose: How can I express my undying love to you. And ofcourse you may post me on your other sites, heh. I am working on that Lupin/Snape one for your other site. By the way can you email me the links. I am a fiend and lost them. and much thanks for reviewing my story all this time and for being such a loyal reader!
mr_hyde: Yes, they are all jrock songs and perhaps about two have noticed before. I hope you enjoy the story, have fun reading ^_^
Mine B: Hm, intersting suggestion but the majority of my readers beg for a happy ending. Sorry heh _ Thanks for reviewing though!
Joy: Ah Draco is a filthy knave indeed. Don't worry though, he will make it up to Harry. Thanks for all the reviews and I can't wait to read more of your stories. Have they moved? If so can you email me the links. Heh thanks Joy!
stampedelove: Thanks for reviewing! And you will have to read to see ^_~
NayNymic: Im sorry to have left you there in suspense. Yes angt can be rather.. angsty at times, heh. Don't fret though, read this chapter and I think you will be satisfied.
Minerva Teller of tales: Thank you! I hope you enjoy the ending, thanks for reviewing.
Chapter 9: Forever Love
##################################
The droning continuous voice of the Potions Master consumed the classroom in a commanding force that no one would dare attempt to ignore; no one except Draco Malfoy. The only thing that could catch his fervent attention at the time was the empty seat a few feet in front of him. Harry Potter's empty seat. Draco had come late to breakfast in order to avoid having to watch the green-eyed Gryfindor walk in but to his surprise, as he passed the crowded Gryfindor table Harry's seat was empty much like it was now in the Potions classroom. His heart clenched painfully to think that Harry could be skipping his classes due to Draco's insensitivity.
But it wasn't that Draco was insensitive, he just was merely.... scared? Yes, as much as the supercilious Slytherin might not want to admit it he was horribly frightened of the feelings Harry brought out in him; and even worse the consequences that could come with such feelings. But even worse than the fervent emotions he felt when he was with Harry was the bitter pain of when he was without him. He couldn't go on much longer like this...
@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@
Harry lay inside his desolate room, while other student were busy at class, finding himself completely drained. His face buried deep within his pillow, Harry contemplated the fervent thoughts that ran through his mind. How could it be that he, Harry Potter, The Boy Who Lived, could have fallen for Draco Malfoy the son of Lucius Malfoy, a death eater.
It all confused him immensely, these feelings the pale boy brought out of Harry, the way everything melted away when his green eyes met with Draco's fierce silver ones.
He was just about to break free of this interminable sulking when he heard a knock at the door. Slowly walking to the door he wondered to himself who would come to his room whilst classes were being held. In one fluid motion Harry opened the door his eyes open wide in shock as he saw the Slytherin prince, Draco Malfoy, himself.
"What do you want?" Harry hissed coldly.
"...I, I-"
"What? You wish to tell me about my unworthiness, your stature as a Malfoy? Or do you wish to call me a whore again?" Harry asked angrily nearly whispering the last part.
"I just need to talk to you.."
Harry stayed with a stolid expression but he didn't force Draco to leave. Instead he waited silently, relentlessly staring at the blonde Slytherin who seemed uncharacteristically nervous. After what seemed nearly a minute of silence Harry impatiently moved away from the door and the quiet Slytherin.
"If your not going to say anything Draco, then just leave."
"No, I can't go Harry..."
Harry gave a bitter laugh before turning his face away slightly.
"Give me one good reason why I should let you stay."
Draco looked straight into Harry's eyes with his own silver piercing ones before he crisply and honestly responded.
"I love you."
Harry turned around fully at this and faced Draco. His jade eyes glowed but with something that Draco couldn't quite decipher.
"But you can't..."
Draco laughed bitterly but his eyes shone with a strange calm and obvious honesty.
"I know... but I do," Draco responded as he took a step forward without so much another thought he grabbed Harry and pulled him close so that the Slytherin's mouth was right next to Harry's ear, "I love you so much Harry."
At first Harry stood unresponsive to Draco's words, as if still digesting them, and of course they were indeed something that needed time to think about. Harry didn't know why he felt so much for the arrogant Slytherin or why Draco should feel the same thing back. Draco never felt, never showed emotion, always so very composed but now Harry had broken that. It was overwhelming to Harry that he himself could have caused Draco to feel... to love. Perhaps they were more alike then he would admit, but the whole situation was rather confusing. Yet still the raven-haired Gryfindor knew how he felt, and if that was all he had now he would take it.
Pulling slightly away from Draco, Harry stood a few inches from his face and with a small smile leaned in capturing the fair-haired boy's lips in a kiss. He could hear Draco sigh and melt into the kiss and as he gave a slight moan Harry took the opportunity to slide his tongue inside Draco's making the kiss much more passionate and less innocent. After a few moments though Draco pulled away his face slightly flushed, his eyes rather serious. Harry leaned in again and gave Draco a light kiss, his lips hardly brushing over the other boys as if to reassure the surprisingly vulnerable boy in front of him.
"I love you too Draco. I'll never know why but I do," Harry whispered and with the last part he offered a teasing smile.
Draco nodded sadly as this and responded, "Well what are we going to do about it now?"
Harry knew that Draco was right in what he implied with the sad tone of his voice. No one would ever accept this, most of all Draco's father Lucius Malfoy. If there love was in fact true would it even be strong enough to take it all. Harry sighed and then glanced at Draco's silver eyes which at the moment looked a bit anxious with a glint of hope deep within them. It was enough to convince Harry that it wasn't time to worry about such things. Putting on his most seductive face he pulled Draco as close as he possible could to him.
"I can think of something we can do."
And with that Harry pulled Draco onto the floor with him, straddling him Harry placed small kisses from his collar bone to his jaw line. Draco let the thoughts and worries slip away from him as Harry began to undo his robes. He may not know anything about love, but who did? As far as he was concerned in this place, this moment he loved Harry. And for now that was enough.

I can no longer walk alone
The winds of time are too strong
I should have gotten used
To hurting, but now…
Please hold
My weeping heart
In this time when everything keeps changing
If we have our unchanging love
Will you hold my heart?
Please catch my tears
It seems as if it will break, all my heart
Forever love, forever dream
Only my overflowing memories
Passionately, painfully fill the time
Oh, tell me why
All I see is blue in my heart
Will you stay with me?
Until the wind passes away
Once again they overflow, all my tears
Forever love, forever dream
Please stay by my side
In the dawn, hold my trembling heart
Oh, stay with me
Ah, if only it would all end
In this endless night
Ah, there is nothing
That I would lose, except you
Forever love, forever dream
Please stay by my side
In the dawn, hold my trembling heart
Will you stay with me?
Until the wind passes away
More than anyone, I want you with me
Forever love, forever dream
I can't walk any further than this
Oh, tell me why; oh, tell me true
Tell me the meaning of life
Forever love, forever dream
In the midst of my overflowing tears
Until that shining season becomes eternity
Forever love
"Forever Love"
