SUMMARY: Harry's torn apart from 2 loves. Whom will over rule or will this be the end of our loveable scar head?
"I'm not taking no as an answer." Neville said firmly as he led Harry upstairs to their dormitory. "You are going to have a lie down and then visit Poppy so she could try to give you something."
Harry was exasperated. There was no way he could see Poppy. "Fine I'll have a lie down but I don't need to see her. When I wake up I'll take a pepper up potion." haggled Harry.
"I don't know-" Neville started to refuse.
"It's probably a bug or something. Do I look sick to you?" Harry managed to twist his head to face his friend.
Neville looked at him squarely. Of course he didn't look sick but he was acting as if he were more than just sick.
"I'll sleep for the day and I'll have dinner. Hermione even said I need to eat more so it's probably just fatigue from lack of food." Responded Harry.
"No." Neville said firmly. Harry's last comment did the opposite than what was intended. It was true he noticed the skipped meals but he also overheard Hermione's concern about other things as well. "After your nap," they made it inside the room. "we're going to take a trip to Poppy's. No ifs ands or buts." Neville deposited Harry to the closest bed. Ron's.
"I don't think Ron will complain if you borrow his bed. Here." Neville pulled down the sheet quickly so Harry sat down and toed off his shoes.
"Thank you Neville." Harry grabbed his wrist. "You're better than most." As Harry said that Neville noticed something odd. It sounded like Harry meant it but it never reached his eyes.
"No problem. Just have a lay down and I'll collect your notes." Harry nodded in agreement and did as he was told allowing his friend to pull the blankets over him. Quietly Neville left.
As Harry turned to lay on his stomach his hand slipped under the pillow. His eyes snapped open as he felt the familiar cool metal. Sitting up he pulled up the pillow and stared down at the locket with the necklace. There it was. He had thought Ron had tossed it but apparently not. If he had any emotions he would have been overjoyed but he felt nothing. He knew what he was supposed to feel but what was there to do except keep it. With shaking hands Harry used the last of his energy to tie the necklace around him and tuck it in his shirt. It would've been easier if he had taken off his robe but Harry wanted to keep the skin to linen contact to a minimum when it came to bed sheets of his once best friend.
As a Slytherin, Draco always prided himself on knowing what was what and who was who anywhere he resided. It just was a coincidence that he so happened to have the Mauraders map (a/n did i spell it right?). It was during dinner that he slithered up to the Gryffindor tower where he overheard Harry was resting.
The map showed that the tower was empty except for the one person he intended to meet. Climbing up the familiar stairs he tried not to remember the memories of his past life, the one where his one true love used to be in.
Once inside he used a silencing spell around the room just in case the walls were thin and a locking charm that would take more than Alohamora to break. There was only one bed with the curtains drawn so he cautiously walked up to it. Pulling aside the deep red curtain he barely made out the outline of him.
"Lumos." Waving the wand over Harry's face, that was facing him, he ignored the pang of sadness that welled up in his chest. Carefully climbing up on the bed he was so close that he could hear the uneven breathing of his one time lover.
Eyes roaming Harry's face he inched his hand to the back of Harry's ear and touched just underneath the earlobe. It was icy cold. Muttering a string of curses about 'stupid Gryffindorks' he knew instantly what others were trying desperately to figure out.
While the Magic World was at war both boys spent their time in the restricted section learning useful spells, charms, curses, and reading up anything of value. It was during that time they came across the charm Illusione di Me; a less known witch who followed the dark arts made it by accident. She looked more like a muggle's interpretation of a witch. She spent over a decade with the side affect of no emotions and an un-mole face, that is until something broke the curse but the book didn't say how. All that was read that after the death of her one and only son she was once again her past self.
Laying beside Harry, Draco set his wand down on the pillow. Gently resting his hand on the Gryffindor's cheek he watched as Harry stirred lightly moving into the warm hand. "Revealus." Draco muttered. A ripple crossed over Harry's face and Draco had a brief moment of looking at the real Harry, barely lasting half a minute. "Merlin - what are you doing Harry?" Draco whispered as he swallowed the lump in his throat.
The circles under his eye were darker, skin paler and pastier, while his face was gaunt his lips were dry and cracked; in his sleep Harry looked near death. Draco didn't remove his hands when Harry's eyes opened with effort.
He was close enough to once again see the empty spheres. Only one other time had he seen his Harry like this. It was for an entire week, a crucial week during the war where there were more deaths, killings, and of course the end of Voldemort.
Draco remembered being with Snape who was planning with the Order when Harry waltzed in covered in blood and ripped clothes with a sack that leaked what was on his clothes. He remembered the calm cool way Harry spoke to the room as he tossed the sack onto the table where Voldemort's head rolled out: "I'll be in my room for the rest of the night. I need a shower. This smell is getting to my head." and he quickly walked out as if it weren't a big deal.
It wasn't until later that night when Draco removed the charm that Harry broke down in his arms refusing to talk about what happened. It was that night Harry vowed never to use the charm but it looked like life was too much for the Gryffindor to keep an oath.
"Draco?" Harry's voice was strained and his breath quickened.
"I'm here love." answered Draco inching closer to the boy.
"You can't be here? I don't dream. I'm not supposed to dream." Harry's empty eyes searched his face.
"I'm here love. I'll always be here." Draco leaned forward and gently kissed the unresponsive lips.
"Hallucination." Harry muttered. Draco wanted to deny it but his attention turned to Harry's movements which were reaching into his shirt front to pull out the locket, clutching it. "I didn't feel it. I always feel him."
"Oh Harry. My Harry. Why?" Draco asked as he nuzzled against Harry's cheek to whisper in his ear.
"Hurted." murmured Hurry as he sighed and snuggled closer to the warmth. He was so cold. Not cold that he was shivering but an unfeeling type of cold.
Draco couldn't stand it any longer. He couldn't stand the separation, couldn't live without the warmth of Harry snuggled beside him, he missed the corny jokes, the late night talks about the future, he missed his Harry who was the world to him. With gentleness Draco pushed Harry so he laid on his back and he straddled the hips of his one time lover. "Tell me love." Draco murmured as he placed gentle kisses on Harry's face.
Deep down Harry wanted to feel those soft lips but he couldn't and it was pointless to try and remember the feeling because his feelings were his emotion.
Draco nipped at the lobe of Harry's ear, needing, wanting, some sort of response. His crotch rubbed against the softness of his one time lover with no reaction from the teen below him. Frustrated, tears leaked from Draco's eyes as his hips stilled. Burying his face in the crook of Harry's neck he cried while trying to hold onto Harry in some way.
From habit Harry wrapped his arms around the man he once loved. During the war for many nights both teens were in this position; Draco crying out what disturbed him so much while Harry placing back the pieces but both knew in someway even though the moves were correct the love and beauty of the whole process wasn't there and probably never be there again.
"I'm sorry Draco." This made the Slytherin cling ever harder.
"Please Love. Please tell me what they did to you." Draco pleaded as he sat up slightly, encasing Harry's face with his warm hands. "What did they do."
Harry stared up at the Slytherin. The tears that were streaming down the paler boys cheeks shined in the dull light of the wand. Why not tell him? What was wrong with telling his one time lover the truth? Yes, what's holding me back. There's nothing that can be done.
"You're beautiful." Harry's fingers danced across the damp skin. Glancing at the moisture on his fingertips he brought them to his lips where he licked them off.
"Harry?"
"They betrayed me." Harry spoke as he turned his face into Draco's palm, closing his eyes. "Ron. He found out about me and you. He and Hermione threatened me."
"Mangy Weasel and Mudblood! What did they -"
"A contract - no, a friendship contract."
Draco snorted "Bloody great friends."
"I was drunk when I signed it apparently. They said I betrayed them by loving you and they said as long as I'm with you I'm not their friend."
"Then don't be their friend. Be mine. Be all mine."
"That would be lovely." Harry sighed. "If that were simple do you think we would be here, now, the way we are? They showed me the contract. If I ever betrayed them then I would be turned into a ferret. Ron joked it was fitting and made rude comments about you and the irony. Now that I think about it, I would've been better off an animal or better yet - maybe I'll just die."
"No!" Draco spoke harshly. He forced Harry to face him. "No. No. No. Never think like that again do you hear me?" Fear crept through the blond as he realized his former lover was capable of such a thing. Crushing his lips to the unfeeling Gryffindor below him Draco wanted to believe that would do the trick and bring back his Harry.
Feeling the unresponsive lips move away Draco wanted to hurt something, no, someone's. They would pay. Both that Mudblood and arse of a Weasel are going to breath their last breath for harming his love.
Bang! Bang!
"Harry? Open up!" A muffled voice called from behind the door.
"Neville? It's Neville. You have to go." Harry said pushing Draco off of himself. "Take my invisibility cloak and go."
"Harry! Open the door or I'll break it down. Alohamora. Shit! Harry!" Neville called with several more hits on the door.
"I love you Harry." Draco murmured kissing him briefly before crawling off the bed and reaching under the bed to pull out the cloak. He ripped away the thin paper protecting it from the dust bunny and wrapped it around himself just in time as the door swung on its hinges hitting the wall and bouncing back so it hit an unsuspecting Neville.
Harry's eyebrows arched slightly as he watched Neville fall back on his rear with an 'oof". "Stupid door. Stupid self. Can't do nothing right." Neville mumbled to himself while rubbing his nose.
"How did he - never mind. I won't question how the dimwit broke my locking charm" Draco spoke to himself in a whisper with disbelief.
Harry kept his attention on the teen who was standing and dusting off his robes. A floating hand waved goodbye to him before disappearing back into the cloak. "Are you alright Neville?"
A/N: See. A little mystery solved. Let's assume Harry beheaded old Voldie because brother wands don't work so they duked it out with muggle weapons instead.
Ooh - what'll happen next? Well let's just say it's not all that pretty. *sigh* everything bad always happen to my Harry.
