Draco edged forward into Harry's room. Closer to the boy-who-wanted-to-die. His sobbing increased as the dagger was prised from his vice like grip.

"Harry, listen to me, you're a good person, you deserve the life that was given to you, I need you to live, I couldn't survive if you weren't around, I...I love you." Draco confessed. Harry just gazed up at him with sad emerald orbs tears streaming down his cheeks. Draco reached a hand forward to wipe them away. "Don't be afraid." He whispered but as his hand came in contact with his cheek Harry cowered away, afraid of the touch.

"No." The Gryffindor whimpered backing away further so he was in the corner. Now rocking back and forth scrapping at his skin with his long finger nails making fresh marks appear.

The blood was seeping out of Harry's arm in dangerously large amounts now, his features seemed to be paler than Draco's own something he had never thought possible. "Harry listen to me, let me help you, but to do that I have to be near you, I have to touch you. Let me stop the bleeding."

"I never goes away, the pain stay's with you for eternity, I have to bleed to make it go away." He sobbed hysterically.

"It's not the only way, I can help you overcome the pain, you just have to trust me can you do that?"

Severus Snape having heard the commotion had come to investigate. He entered the room just in time to witness Harry fainting into Draco's arms.

Hurriedly placed Harry upon his bed and sealed the wounds as best he could with his knowledge of medical magic.

"What's wrong with Potter?" Snape sneered.

"Fetch me a blood replenishing potion, he'll die other wise, he wouldn't tell me what was wrong."

"I suggest you look into his past, I ma not sure if you know but even before Hogwart's he did not have a decent life."

"What do you think I should do, he won't tell me willingly."

"I taught him occlumency, that is how I first discovered it, the incantation is Legilimens."

Snape then swept out of the room to fetch the required potion, Draco watched him go taking a deep breath he pointed his wand at Harry. "Legilimens."

Immediately Draco saw images he had never seen before, it was the most horrific think he had ever seen.

The first image was of Harry as a very young boy, no older than five. He was cowering on the floor beneath a huge beefy mans towering figure. The man struck the boy once, twice, three times before picking him up by the hair and throwing him into what seemed to be a cupboard.

The second image was of Harry cleaning the kitchen floor, a family eating a huge feast of a dinner but a few centimetres away. He looked hopefully up at them. A pig of a boy laughed as e stuffed an entire chicken leg into his mouth. The woman stood up and took something out of the refrigerator before throwing it upon the floor. The small Harry threw himself upon it and whatever it was he ate it.

The third image showed Harry who couldn't have been much older than nine or ten lying in a small room no bigger than a cupboard it looked as though at least five bones were broken, his lip was split and he had black eye. The young boy was awake that much was clear even though he must have been in amazing amounts of pain he didn't make a sound.

The fourth image was of Harry fighting the Dark Lord in the crypt where the philosophers stone was. Voldermort laughed at him, even when he showed immense power for an eleven-year-old boy, Draco could feel the bitterness, the anger and the pain as he fell to the ground.

The fifth image was of Harry's second year, it was the Gryffindor talking to Tom Riddle as he died. Harry was told he was weak, useless and foolish. He was watching the youngest Weasly die yet he still had the courage to defeat Voldermort.

The sixth image was not of Harry's third or fourth year as Draco had expected but of the criminal Sirius Black falling through the veil he had watched his mother walk through. He knew about it himself, he could sense Harry had the same lack of knowledge, he called out for the man desperate to save him. However it was useless no one ever returned from behind the veil.

The seventh image Draco could barely look at, he saw Harry being taken from what seemed to be his home. He was fighting deatheaters bravely but they took him. Then finding the family that had tormented Harry in his younger years they killed them. Harry watched unable to help. His only relatives murdered in front of his eyes. Another three people dead because of him, Draco felt the guilt causing through him as if he were Harry.

The eighth image showed Harry chained to a wall in what seemed to be a dungeon, one he himself had visited by his father's side, it was at Riddle manor. His clothes were torn and stained with unimaginable dirt and massive amounts of blood. A door creaked not far from them, the person who entered was Mcnair and his master Voldermort, Lusius was close behind the two, a look of uttermost delight upon his face. He heard the dark lord insist that the boy be unbound. Mcnair did as he was told and stood back. His own father then stepped forward and with the flick of his wand Harry's clothes were gone. Voldermort stepped forward. Draco knew what was about to happen and finally he understood everything.

Someone roughly pulled him out of Harry's memories, it was his godfather, he had returned with the potion.

"Mr Potter is in need of attention, make him drink this, I hope your invasion of his privacy helped your vendetta of love."

"It has, more than you know Sev."

The boy wasn't moving at all but you could just make out his shallow breathing but only if you paid him very close attention. Draco forced the foul potion down Harry's throat and sat cross-legged at the end of the bed watching and waiting in case he would wake.
