Chapter Six: Flashback, Draco's story part two

Not mine, never will be, no matter how much I wish.

The next day Draco and Harry met outside under the stars once again. They made small talk before Draco took a deep breath and started to tell the rest of his story.

Flashback

When he awoke the next morning Draco didn't know where he was at first. After glancing around he finally remembered. He was in the bedroom Ron had shown him last night and said he could use from on.

Smiling at that thought Draco headed down to the kitchen that he had apparated into last night with the three friends. Hermione glanced up from the stove and smiled. "Hello Draco. Sleep well?"

Smiling back, Draco sat down at the table. "Very well to tell the truth. Thank you for letting me stay here."

Hermione smiled back and turned back to the stove. Ron and Ginny came in a few minutes later and greeted the two in the kitchen as they sat down. The group of four ate before going they're different ways. Draco and Ginny drove downtown where Draco noticed a flyer advertising interior designing classes at a local college.

He took one and looked it over as Ginny led him to a grocery store to get some much needed items for Hermione. As they drove back home Ginny talked him into at least applying for the college. Draco agreed but argued that he didn't have the money and he didn't think he be able to apply for a loan.

They walked in as Draco said this and Ron heard him. He asked what he needed a loan for and after Ginny told him said he would go with Draco tomorrow and not only get him sighed up but also pay for the classes. Draco protested but Ron insisted, saying it was his day off and Draco could pay him later when he got a job.

Draco took a deep breath and turned to Harry. "I won't go into detail about the rest of my time there because it doesn't seem important. There is one thing you need to know. I told you about Blaise. Well I didn't tell you everything. There's something else you need to know." Taking another deep breath, Draco glanced at Harry then turned to face the trees that were a bit off. "Blaise found me again after my classes finished a couple of days before I saw you again..."

Flashback

Draco had stopped at a store to buy some much needed items for home. Muttering a curse under his breath from the weight of the bags Draco struggled to unlock the door. Finally getting the door opened he dropped the bags onto the backseat.

Closing the door he opened the driver's door only to have a hand slam it shut. Before Draco could turn around to see the owner he blacked out due to a whispered "Impero."

When Draco came to he found himself lying on a bed. Going to sit up Draco fell back down hissing in pain. It was then he realized that he was not only tied down but naked as the day he was born. As he struggled to get free Blaise strode into the room.

Draco shot Blaise a glare that turned into horror as Blaise started to undress. Struggling again Draco spat at Blaise when the black haired man was close enough. Slapping the blond Blaise climbed on top of Draco. Draco paled even more and yanked frantically at his bonds letting out a small sob as he did.

An hour later Blaise climbed off a still Draco. Shaking his head at the blond boy who was bloody and had wounds all over him Blaise pulled on his robe. Walking into the kitchen Blaise made a cup of tea.

He had just taken a sip when his front door was blasted open and Aurors piled inside. Within minutes Blaise was in custody and Draco was being sent to St. Mugles.

He was released two days before Blaise's trial. Ron picked him up and took him home to where Hermione and Ginny waiting for them. They didn't say anything about the rape or the trial except to say that they would be there.

Coming out of the ministry the four roommates headed to the Leaky Caldron to get something to eat. Walking into the room they started to look for a table. Draco, who was walking a few feet behind the two Weasley's and Hermione, accidentally bumped into someone. Muttering an apology Draco looked up only to lose his breath. Green eyes glanced into Draco's own gray ones and smiled. Shaking away Draco's apology, Harry walked off. Draco stared after Harry until he heard his name called.

It was that meeting that prompted Draco into making Kayly to see how Harry felt about him. Ginny, Ron, and Hermione were against it at first but Draco soon talked them into helping him.

Harry closed his eyes then opened them. Turning to face Draco he reached out and touched his hand lightly. "I'm sorry."

Draco stared at him in surprise. "For what? It wasn't your fault that Blaise raped me or anything else that happened to me."

"But I feel like it is. If I hadn't ignored you in school you would have never had to go through this. I fell for you the first time I saw you but because of what you said about Hagrid I couldn't tell you. And then I heard who you where and I couldn't say anything because it would ruin everything.

Then I found out that your family was on the light side and it was I could do to keep from saying anything. I wanted to tell your parents and everyone else that I loved you. But the war came and I had to fight Voldemort. I didn't want to get you hurt. By the time the war came to an end your parents were dead and you were in grieving. I didn't want to hurt you even more.

I left to give you time to compose yourself and by the time I came back it was to late. You were to caught up in your world and then I met 'Kayly'. I fell for her and then asked 'Kayly' to marry me. You know the rest."

"You fell for me? Does that mean..." Draco started.

"That I love you? Yes, it does." Harry answered simply.

Draco just stared at Harry trying to believe him but finding it hard. "I'm sorry." Draco whispered standing. "I'm sorry but I don't believe you. It's hard to believe you after everything I went through. I'm so sorry."

Harry lifted his hand in a implore but Draco ignored it. Instead he walked into the house ignoring Harry. Harry just stood there as Draco ran away from him. A lone tear made it down Harry's cheek but no one was there to see or catch it.
