Chapter 3.

It's been two weeks since Harry left the hospital wing and two weeks since Draco asked him to be his boyfriend. Harry couldn't sleep as he had a lot on his mind, so to clear his mind he decided to go for a walk but not before making sure that everyone was asleep and grabbing his invisibility cloak. Harry wondered the halls aimlessly till he found himself in the Astronomy tower. He took off his cloak and sat down on the window seat and slowly gazed up to see the beautiful moon and the shining silver stars which reminded him of his lovers eyes which he loved with the whole of his heart. As he sat there he felt a gust of wind sweep over him so decided to reach over and pick up his cloak to keep him warm as he reached for his cloak he was met with another hand.

"Is this what you want or would you prefer to be held in my arms?"

Harry looked up at the person slowly only to come face to face with his lover, Draco. "I would prefer it if you held me in your arms," Harry replied.

Draco slowly walked over to where Harry was sitting and wrapped his arms around him tightly. Harry placed his head on Draco's chest and Draco kissed the top of Harry's head. Harry slowly raised his head and kissed Draco full on the lips, which was returned with just as much love and passion. Draco slowly pulled away only to meet a very worried look on his lovers face.

"What's wrong Harry? You don't look very happy."

"There's nothing wrong Dray so stop worrying," Harry replied with a weak smile.

"Harry don't lie to me. Relationships aren't built on lies, they're built on trust and if you can't trust me then..." Draco left his sentence open.

Harry sighed and realised that what Draco had just said was very true. "Draco my only worry is my school work. I was off for two weeks and from the amount of work I've missed you would think I was off for a whole year!" at this point Harry sighed and looked rather sorry for himself.

"Are you sure that's all that's bugging you coz if it isn't I want you to tell me so I can help you out."

Harry slowly looked up at Draco and said, "I can manage with the work, I mean I've almost caught up with it all. But...there's only one thing that's bugging me and that's the fact that you haven't kissed as much as you normally do," Harry replied with a slight twinkle in his eye.

"Is that all?" Draco asked and Harry nodded. With that Draco lent in and placed his lips on Harry's and kissed him very passionately, which was returned with just as much passion if not more.

Harry pulled away suddenly and Draco groaned in protest.

"What's wrong? Draco asked.

"You haven't told me why you're out of bed."

"You didn't ask, did you?"

"Well I'm asking now. Why are you out of bed?"

"I couldn't sleep. I was thinking about you," Draco replied.

"That's sweet but I don't believe you and don't forget you're the one who said relationships aren't built on..." Draco placed a finger on Harry's lips cutting him off.

"I'm telling you the truth. I remembered the way Snape was going on at you today and I saw how hurt you looked. I just wanted to hold you and kiss you till the pain went away, but you left before I could get a hold of you. When I saw you at dinner you looked at me as if I was dirt and that...that hurt."

"Dray that look wasn't for you, it was for Dean."

"Why, what did he do to upset you?" Draco asked.

"He was going on about how you and Snape are a like coz you're both mean and don't care about anyone but yourselves. Then I told him that you're nothing like that and people should give you a chance then they'll know how nice you are deep down inside."

"Harry that was a stupid thing to do!" shouted Draco.

Harry was stunned and hurt by what Draco had just said. "Well that's a nice way to say thank you to someone you stuck up for you!" and with that Harry pushed Draco away and started to make his way over to the door but Draco reached out and grabbed hold of Harry's arm. Harry turned around slowly only to meet Draco's gaze.

"I'm sorry Harry, I didn't mean it but we've got to keep this relationship quite coz if my father finds out I fear he might try and kill you."

Harry smiled at him and then pulled him into a tight embrace. "Draco don't worry about me and no matter what your dad says I'm still going to love you for all time."

"Harry I love you so much."

"I love you too Dray," and with that Harry kissed Draco good night and they both made their way to their dorms to have a good nights sleep.

3 months later.

"Hey Harry, it's yours and Draco's three month anniversary in two weeks right?" Ron asked.

"Yeah it is."

"Do you know what you're going to do and have you got him anything?"

"I got him and cleaning kit for his broom and Quidditch through the ages."

"Cool, he should like that. Do you know what his got for you at all?"

"No, but he said that it's going to be a night to remember." Harry replied with a slight grin.

Harry and Draco's anniversary.

"Come on you, we're going to the Astronomy tower."

"Why?" Harry asked with a puzzled look on his face.

"Just because. Now stop asking questions," replied Draco.

Draco led the way and when they got there Draco asked Harry to close his eyes, which he did. He slowly pulled Harry into the room and then closed the door behind them both. "You can open your eyes now."

"Wow!" was all Harry could say for the sight that lay before him was truly fantastic. Draco had conjured up a bed (kingsize four poster), the room was lit by vanilla scented candles and a dinner for two.

"Is this all for me?" Harry asked slowly turning to face Draco.

"Yeah it is. It's my way of showing you how much I love you," Draco replied.

"Oh Dray this is wonderful."

"Shall we?" Draco asked indicating for Harry to join him in having dinner with him. Harry sat down opposite Draco and they got stuck in but for some reason they both lost their appetite for food. Instead they hungered for each other and before they knew it they were kissing passionately with Draco on top of Harry. Draco slowly got off Harry and beckoned for Harry to join him on the bed, which Harry obeyed happily.

They were to busy with each other to notice that the other students were screaming at the top of their lungs for some reason.

"Dray can you hear that?" Harry asked breathlessly.

"No, but who cares?" Draco replied and then went back to kissing Harry with even more passion.

There was a banging at the door.

"Ok, this time I heard something."

"Harry, Draco! Get your wands and get down here. We're being attacked by the death eaters!" shouted Ron.

"What?!" Harry and Draco both said in unison in total shock. They both made a mover for the door, wands in their hands. Draco stopped dead in his tracks telling Harry and Ron to go on ahead as he had to do something.

"Can't believe that, they didn't even do anything or kill any one. So what was it all for?" Ron asked with a puzzled look on his face.

"I don't know Ron but I think it was some kind of diversion," replied Hermione.

"Where's Harry?" Ron asked suddenly noticing that Harry wasn't in the common room.

"I think he went to look for Draco I gue..." Hermione was cut off as Harry burst into the common room at that point.

"What's wrong Harry? Is Draco ok?" asked Hermione.

Harry couldn't answer he was too upset. Instead he just handed her the piece of paper that he had been holding and sat down next to Ron who hugged him as he cried. Hermione read the letter out aloud so Ron could hear.

Dear Harry,

I'm sorry but I have to do this, I'm leaving you but that doesn't mean that I don't love you because I do. I never told you this before because I didn't want to worry you but I guess you have a right to know. The thing is my father wrote to me a few weeks ago threatening me, telling me to leave you and if I didn't he'd kill the both of us. When Ron said the death eaters were here I knew then that my father was here to get me and maybe you too. I don't want you to die Harry and it's not your fault that my father is acting in this way. If I know you then you'll blame yourself and it's not your fault. I want you to carry on with your life and forget about me, you know what? Ron was right I'm not good enough for you. Ever since day one all I've ever done is upset you in some way and I hate myself for that. I hate myself even more for leaving you like this. Maybe one day we can get back together and love each other in peace (if you still want me that is) but until then good luck in life and I know that Ron, Hermione and Sirius will take good care of you.

Love you always

Draco Malfoy.

P.S. I'll never stop loving you, ever!

"Oh Harry, I'm so sorry." That was all Hermione could say as she to started to cry. Harry didn't say anything he just cried even harder on to Ron's shoulder and Ron held him tightly telling him that everything was going to be ok.
