Chapter Eight- Is it Love? (Draco's POV)
"Draco Malfoy!"
My face broke out into a nervous sweat. My heart was pounding, my hands twitching. I slowly and shakily walked up the small steps to the stage. Dumbledore smiled and said the necessary spells. I owed him a lot for what he has done for me.
"Good luck," he whispered, leaving me alone with all those judging eyes and the depressing intro music.. I took a deep breath and desperately hoped that everything would turn out okay in the end.
" Desperate for changing
Starving for truth
I'm closer to where I started
I'm chasing after you"
I look up to see Harry staring at me. His song was so full of misery it hurt. It probably not only hurt me, but him too. His eyes started watering as I continued my song.
"I'm falling even more in love with you!
Letting go of all I've held onto
I'm standing here until you make me move
I'm hanging by a moment here with you."
I slowly walk off stage towards the Gryffindor table still sing while staring into Harry's eyes. Most of the Gryffindors were now able to see exactly who I was staring at. I kept walking to Harry, listening to all their whispers through the music.
"Is he singing to Harry?"
"I bet this was You-Know-Who's plan."
"They'd make such a cute couple."
Harry didn't say a word, but was now crying silently. I wanted so desperately to take him in my arms and protect him from everything he was ever afraid of. But right now he was afraid of me. The world faded away and there was no one else. Harry was the only one that could really hear what I was singing.
"Forgetting all I'm lacking
Completely incomplete
I'll take your invitation
You take all of me now..."
I stop five feet away from him.
"I'm falling even more in love with you
Letting go of all I've held onto
I'm standing here until you make me move
I'm hanging by a moment here with you
I'm living for the only thing I know
I'm running and I'm not quite sure where to go
And I don't know what I'm diving into
Just hanging by a moment here with you."
I advanced towards him and sat in the empty seat next to him that Granger used to sit in. Almost in a whisper, I kept singing.
" There's nothing else to lose
There's nothing else to find
There's nothing in the world
That could change my mind
There is nothing else
There is nothing else
There is nothing else-"
Harry cut the song short by pulling me to him and kissing me hard. Normally I would be disgusted at the taste of tears, but they were a part of him. And I wanted all of him: body, mind and soul. I eagerly kissed him back.
When we broke away, the Gryffindors erupted in applause. Wearily, Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff joined them. Most of the Slytherins were too shocked to do anything, but the ones that weren't visibly shocked glared daggers at both of us. I took a closer look at Blaise. The scowl on his face was far more scary than any of the other Slytherins'. His fists were clenched so tightly in anger that blood seeped through the parts between his fingers onto his BLT.
I held out my hand for Harry to take. He took it and I led him away from prying eyes. We walked all the way to the old Ancient Runes classroom, where we had fist confronted our feelings for each other in the form of a kiss.
"Why did you do it?" Harry asked.
"She must have put a love spell on me," I said, desperate to gain his trust back. "Otherwise I would never have touched her." I felt like I was going to puke just thinking about it.
"So you never liked her?"
"No, you are the one I love." Harry's eyes swelled with hot tears.
"You do?"
I motioned for him to sit on my lap. "I just outed myself in front of the entire school and you still don't believe me?" When I noticed that doubtful look in his eyes, I continued. "I love you. I will always love you. I don't know how I have survived without you all these years. And I don't know how else I can prove it to you."
"You don't need to prove it. I believe you." He leaned down to capture my lips with his.
When we broke apart I said, "And deep down, I think I always have loved you. And my antagonist attitude was just me in heavy denial. Before I knew who you were, in the robe shop, I can remember thinking about how beautiful you looked, and how cute your shyness was. I really wanted to be your friend. So I tried impressing you, but it blew up in my face. Then you became friends with Weasley and Granger and I felt rejected and alone for the first time in my life."
"I'm sorry."
"Don't be. I was a spoiled brat. I really can't blame you for choosing them over me."
"I started liking you in our sixth year when we were partnered together in Herbology. You started softening up after a while. I was really disappointed when you went back to normal once the project was over."
"Just goes to show how much of a dick I can be." I let out a dry laugh.
Harry continued, "That's why I was so upset. I thought that you were just going back to how you were before."
"Harry, I could never go back to how I was before. Not after feeling this way. I've never loved anyone before."
He got a sad look on his face. "Then how do you know that what you are feeling is actually love?"
"I know it's love when you're all I think about, when I want to protect you no matter what, when you smile and my knees go weak and all my problems fade away because I know that nothing else will ever matter as long as you are by my side."
Harry leaned down to kiss me. His lips were so warm against my own. His kisses were something I valued more than breathing.
"Mmm... I love you so much, Harry," I mumbled against him.
A/N: Sorry it took so long, I've been really busy lately. Please review and tell me what you think.

"I imagine you want Potter dead just as much as I do, Zambini," Granger said with an evil look in her eyes.
