"Our love should last forever Harry." Draco pleaded to his long term boyfriend who was currently packing his bags with the intention of leaving.

"Shame it didn't then isn't it." Harry snapped coldly, sending Draco an evil glare. "I'm sorry, I never meant for that to hurt you."

"What, how could you not mean to kiss him, to touch him like that?"

"I'm sorry."

"Your only sorry you were caught...I don't know if I can trust you anymore Draco." Harry admitted wiping away the tears that had fallen down his cheeks.

"I'm only asking you to give me a chance, I love you, and I don't want you to leave me."

"how could you Draco after everything we've been through."

"Harry you don't understand, I never meant for you to see us."

"Oh that just makes it so much better." Harry said sarcasm obvious in this voice.

"I didn't mean it like that."

"Then how did you mean it?" Harry snapped, zipping up his suitcase angrily.

"I meant I never wanted you to find out." Harry grunted, crossed his arms and glared at Draco. "Because what I did was stupid, I shouldn't have not told you." Draco explained, unsure of whether Harry was ready to except the truth. "Blaise is a deatheater; somehow he found out about us and threatened to turn us over to his Lord if I didn't do to him what I did to you."

"How do I know your not lying to me again, how can I trust you?"

"Find a way Harry please, I don't want to lose you over something so stupid."

"I think we need sometime apart, we've been together for a year before we graduated and another two afterwards."

"Are you breaking up with me?"

"No, I'll be back when I feel ready to return."

"But what if you don't." Draco asked, he was close to tears, he had always fought so hard to keep Harry by his side and now he was leaving, perhaps forever.

Harry picked up his suitcase, placed one final kiss on his lovers lips, tasting the salty tears that had fallen there.

"I love you Harry."

"I know, goodbye Draco."

And with those final words he left. Draco sat upon their bed and didn't move. A house elf discovered him the following day and raised the alarm. He still hadn't moved an inch.

Draco was moved to Hogwarts infirmary as St Mungo's was still under Voldermort's control.

Harry had no idea of his lover's whereabouts; he'd bought a flat near Diagon alley in London. He'd told no one where he was going not even Ron and Hermione; he didn't want to keep in contact with any one from the wizarding world until he was ready.

Dumbledore was especially worried about the boy-who-lived as the person he claimed to love was in an unbreakable trance and Harry was no where to be seen.
