The Gryffindor took out his wand and lit it. "Lumos!" he shouted.

Though he was in the towers so where was still a bit of evening light shining through the windows and there were always lit torches on the walls of the school he still felt really uneasy.

Slowly and carefully he made his way down the stairs. He had jumped when he saw Ms. Norris come out of the corner of the dark and nearly dropped his wand while hissing curses at her but he did not dare turning out the light on the tip of his wand.

Finally when he saw the crowd of people hanging around the entrance of the Great Hall he relaxed a bit and turned off the light on the tip of his wand. "Finite Incantatum." He chanted as the light disappeared and he was standing just beyond the shadows.

Harry straightened himself and when he saw the smiling face of Draco Malfoy he beamed.

One foot in front of the other had the Gryffindor well on his way towards his boyfriend. Their gazes never faltered until Harry noticed that Draco was no longer grinning. The Slytherin's face fell and his eyes went wide.

Harry could tell that Draco was trying to tell him something but what was it?

Harry stopped walking for a moment while his feel faltered but he quickly caught himself and continued placing one foot in front of the other.

He could see the expression on Draco's face change from uneasiness to terror to panic.

That was when he stopped. The moment he stopped Draco's face turned paler than it naturally was. The blonde opened his mouth to say something while moving forward just slightly but Harry didn't know anything else that happened further from that as everything around him went dark as he fell into unconsciousness. The last thing he saw was the expression of absolute terror on his lovers face.
