Review Shouts:
Sowen: Thanks!! i was a bit worried that the explanation was a bit too much.
------------------------------
When Draco awoke again he quickly realized why he shouldn't have. Harry had his head digging into the pillow beneath the jet-black hair and tears running down his face. Why? Because there was currently a red head attached to the Gryffindor seekers junior seeker.
"Stop." Said Draco as he tried to hoarsely shout but he got no reaction from either.
"Stop." Said Draco trying so very hard to raise his voice so he could be heard but neither of them even looked his way. For a moment he thought of having died and become a ghost crossed his mind but then he felt the pain on the side of his head where it had hit the wall before he fell into unconsciousness and the cuts on his wrists from the chains restraining him.
Finally Harry unclenched his teeth and screamed, nothing in particular, just screamed.
A moment later Percy crawled back up toward the Gryffindor seeker who no longer looked as tense as he had a moment prior.
"Did you like it Harry?"
Draco watched as his boyfriend didn't reply.
"Well since you were so well behaved I'll give you back this." Said Percy as he reached his hand on the side table beside the bed and grabbed hold of the chain with the serpent on it that had cut Draco earlier. Just seeing the weapon that had cut his perfect pale skin had brought back all the memories of the pain.
Draco watched as Harry just stared at the pendant. Torn between wanting it because it was something Draco had given to him and the want to break it as it had cut the one thing Harry loved most in the world.
Parcy smiled, "It is beautiful isn't it? And the eyes are just so perfect. They match your eyes perfectly. This is definitely something I can commend Malfoy for. If I should commend him at all."
Percy put the necklace on Harry's neck and placed the serpent perfectly in the middle of the seekers chest. There were still traces of dried blood from earlier on the tail of the serpent to remind Harry that if he didn't behave himself, there would be life to pay.
Finally Harry took his eyes off the necklace and looked at Percy, "Why are you doing this?" he whispered almost afraid to ask.
"Because I love you Harry. And soon I will make you love me too. Just like how you are supposed to." Answered Percy firmly.
At that moment Percy turned and was rather surprised and pleased to see that Draco had awoken as he got up, pulled the blanket over Harry's form once again and walked over to the Slytherin.
"Percy, don't." pleaded Harry.
Now it was Percy's turn to look torn. Torn between listening to the man he loved and doing what he wanted to the most. Hurt Malfoy just as much as the blonde had hurt him.
Finally it was obvious that Percy had chosen to just interrogate the blonde instead unless Draco was stupid enough to make the red head upset.
"What do you see in him Harry? Why do you love him? He's not worth it. He'll leave you you know. He will. I know his kind. He's evil Harry. Evil."
"Percy you're the one who went to Voldemort." Said Harry who was slowly gaining his confidence back.
"Yes but I was smart. That's the difference. Malfoy's not smart. Malfoy's nothing."
"Draco's everything." Said Harry dreamily looking into the depths of the beautiful grey orbs.
Percy turned and stared at the seeker turning a rather hot shade of red. "NO."
Harry quickly turned his attention back to the angry red head.
"No. Harry," he sounded like he was sobbing. "Harry why don't you understand that I love you?"
"Because you don't Percy. You don't love me. When you love someone you let them go. You let them go and be happy even if it wasn't going to be with you."
"But you've never been with me. How do you know you won't be happy with me?"
"Because it's not the same Percy. It's not the same with you and me. With Draco I feel like I can live and that no matter what, I can continue living. He gives me strength."
"I can give you power."
"I don't want power Percy. I want to be loved.-"
"I love you Harry." Interrupted Percy
Harry smiled, "I know you love me. I can feel it. I know. But that's not the kind of love I want. I want love from Draco. Not Percy. You will find someone else Percy. Someone who is perfect for you."
"NO! I don't WANT anyone else. I want YOU Harry YOU."
"I know you do Percy." Said Harry calmly, "But there's a difference. Just because you love someone doesn't mean you have to be with them. You can love someone and still understand that they would be happier off without you."
Draco could clearly see Percy's form fall. He could see all the life that was keeping the red head vibrant was now gone. The energy sucked from him with those words. The slouched form seemed to have just died. Finally the red head whispered, "Why can't you love me back Harry?"
"Because Percy-"
This time Draco was the one to interrupt, "Because I know you need him." said Draco as loud as he could with the torn vocal chords he knew he had. All eyes were on him now. "You need him like people need air. But I need him too. I need him like the darkness needs it's light."
While speaking Draco's eyes never left Harry's. They held each other's gaze throughout the whole thing and Draco could read that Harry was able to feel the need the blonde had.
"NO!" shouted Percy who broke the moment between the two. "NO! I WILL NOT LET YOU HAVE HIM!" and with that Percy clenched his fist and hit Draco across the face once more. This time though, Draco hadn't gone unconscious.
"Why?" asked Percy turning around and angrily making his way to Harry. "Why can't you just love me?"
"Because I don't need you Percy."
"NO!" shouted the red head before he took out his wand and released Harry of the restraints holding his arms and legs spread.
For a moment Draco thought the red head was going to let him go but that thought came too soon. The next moment Percy had yanked the naked Harry out of the bed and shoved him at a pole near by and magicked some rope to keep the Gryffindor tied to the pole.
There were tears running down Percy's cheeks as he finally marched out of the room and slammed the door shut behind him.
