Come stop your crying it will be alright
Just take my hand, hold it tight
I will protect you from all around you
I will be here don't you cry
For one so small you seem so strong
My arms will hold you keep you safe and warm
This bond between us can't be broken
I will be here don't you cry
Coz you'll be in my heart
Yes you'll be in my heart
From this day on
Now and forevermore
You'll be in my heart
no matter what they say
You'll be here in my heart
Always
Why can't they understand the way we feel?
They just don't trust what they can't explain
I know we're different but deep inside us
We're not that different at all
And you'll be in my heart
Yes you'll be in my heart
From this day on
Now and forevermore
Don't listen to them coz what do they know
We need each other to have to hold
They'll see in time
I know
When destiny calls you we must be strong
I may not be with you but you've got to hold on
They'll see in time
I know
We'll show them together
Coz you'll be in my heart
Believe me you'll be in my heart
I'll be there from this day on
Now and forevermore
Oh you'll be in my heart
No matter what they say
I'll be there and you'll be in my heart
Always
Always
I'll be with you
I'll be there for you always
Always and always
Just look over you're shoulder
Just look over you're shoulder
Just look over you're shoulder
I'll be there always

Draco lay awake watching the boy next to him sleep. He looked so peaceful, like an angel almost. Draco smiled to himself. 'My little angel' he thought. It was the perfect description of Harry. His Harry. No-one had expected this and he still had to laugh at the looks on their faces when he and Harry had walked into dinner together for the first time that evening. The whole experience should have been perfect, the perfect way of telling all their friends about their relationship at the same time, together, only it didn't turn out quite right.
FLASHBACK
Harry and Draco sat in an empty classroom after classes were over for the day talking. They'd been seeing each other for 6 months and so far had managed to keep the relationship from everyone else. Harry thought perhaps Dumbledore knew but if he did then he wasn't saying anything. While neither of them had a problem with telling people they hadn't done so yet as they knew of the problems that could arise when they did. They had only one problem, people were starting to notice that they were sneaking around and each knew it was only a matter of time before rumours started and someone figured things out.
"We've got to tell them sooner or later D; Seamus has started joking about my girlfriend again only he's not joking anymore. I'm not sure that I can hide this from them for much longer!"
"I know love, the Slytherin's are all getting suspicious too, Snape even took me to one side the other day to ask what was going on."
"So what are we going to do then?"
"Tell them I suppose. Then deal with the repercussions together."
Harry smiled. "I hoped you'd say that." They shared a quick kiss before continuing with the conversation.
"So how do we tell them then?" Harry asked.
"That depends." Replied Draco, the mischievous glint in his eye that Harry had come to love so much, "Do you want to do it the quick and easy way or the slow and complicated way?"
"The quick and easy way of course!" Harry grinned, "Get it over and done with quickly and then get on with things."
"Good choice." Said Draco and then followed it up with a kiss. "Now, are you ready to go to dinner?"
Harry just looked at him. "That. Is a wonderful idea, couldn't have come up with a better one myself."
With that both boys laughed and stood from their seats. Taking a deep breath they walked down to dinner hand in hand.
As they arrived outside the great hall Draco looked at Harry. "You sure about this. Last chance to back out now."
"I'm sure." He replied. "Unless you aren't ready?"
"No, I'm ready." Replied Draco. "Shall we?"
With that Draco pushed open the door to the great hall and they entered, hand in hand.
As they walked into the hall they were met with silence. Everyone in the room turned to look at them and neither could resist giving their audience something to look at. Within seconds they lips were on each others and although it wasn't visible to everyone else in the great hall each of them was smiling widely as they shared one of their more passionate kisses.
They broke apart to silence and stood still in the doorway waiting for some sort of reaction.
It was the Gryffindor's who reacted first. Ron was across the hall in seconds, a deathly glare in his eyes as he grabbed Draco and violently pushed him up against the wall.
"I don't know what spell you've got him under Malfoy," he spat venomously, "But if you know what's good for you you'll remove it, now!"
Harry looked at the scene in front of him, the worry evident in his face "Ron, don't." He started. "Let go of him. He hasn't got me under any spells; I'm doing this entirely of my own accord."
When Ron didn't move to let go Harry really started to get worried. He'd never seen Ron like this before and he didn't know what to do. "Ron, please." He said, "If you're really my friend then let go of him." Then in a quieter voice he said, "I love him Ron."
That had the desired effect. Ron immediately dropped Draco and rounded on Harry.
"You what?!" He yelled. "Bloody hell Harry, we're just full of surprises today aren't we?! Why the hell are you doing this? How long has it been going on?? You do realise he's just using you don't you? He's a fucking death eater for God's sakes! He'll pretend he loves you then as soon as you trust him he'll deliver you to his little master! You're totally mad! Everyone spends all this time protecting you and then you go and walk straight into the snake pit!!"
"Ron!" Harry was losing it at this point. How dare Ron say those things, he knew nothing about Draco, nothing. Draco slowly pulled himself to his feet, seeing the fury in his lover's eyes he put a calming hand on his shoulder, Harry glanced at him gratefully before turning back to Ron,
"Ron, he isn't a death eater, he isn't evil and he won't turn me into Voldemort. Do you honestly think I didn't consider all that before this started? I trust him Ron, with my life, and if you can't accept this then maybe…" he took a deep breath and before he continued Ron cut in.
"I get what your saying Harry and that's perfectly fine with me just do me a favour, don't bother coming up to Gryffindor tonight, you aren't welcome there anymore." Harry looked over to the rest of his house and noticed that Ron was more than likely right, his entire house were looking at him with obvious hatred in their eyes.
He nodded his head, "OK then, I'll get my stuff now then." Then he turned and fled the hall. Draco looked round the hall; the Gryffindor's were all glaring daggers at him, as were the Slytherin's. The Ravenclaw's and Hufflepuff's all looked shocked but were much calmer than the other two houses, obviously they were just glad it didn't affect their houses.
Dumbledore rose then and walked towards Draco, upon reaching him he put a hand on his shoulder and escorted him out of the great hall. Once in the entrance hall he smiled reassuringly. "Do you know where Harry'll have gone?" He asked. When Draco nodded his head Dumbledore smiled. "Go and find him and take him to the portrait of the stag, wolf and dog on the third floor, the password is loyalty, I'll have a house elf collect both your things and take them there." Draco nodded his head sadly and went in search of his dark haired angel.
END FLASHBACK
So that's what had bought them here. They'd both cried a bit, looked after each other and they had come to a decision. No one was coming between them. Ever. They would stay together and they would show the world that they loved each other. And when the time came Draco would stand at Harry's side and help him to defeat the evil dark lord he'd been burdened with. Then when that was over they'd be together, they'd leave, live in the muggle world and for the first time in their lives they would be themselves. But for now, they were content to lay in each others arms and dream of happier times to come.
