Summary: Harry and Draco's relationship is goingon well. Something is blocking their way as lovers, to their dismay. Draco hates it when he's forced to do the things he hated most. Fixed marriage sucks!

Days after, nothing has changed, the staring faces are still there. Everyone is still keen on talking about Harry's personality.

"Draco..." Called a cold voice.

"Draco!" Hissed Crabbe.

"Uh…what?" Finally, Draco came to his sense. Surprised to see everyone staring at him with baffled looks.

"What's happening to you? Do you want to go to the hospital wing? It seems that you're not feeling well." Said Snape, worried about his god son.

"I'm okay Professor." Said Draco, ignoring the others inside the room.

"Very well then. Let's continue our discussion." Professor Snape said.

Draco is not himself lately. He kept on making mistakes when answering questions from the professors. He can't even eat a single meal. Many of the Slytherins noticed this, but they no clue of what is happening to the Slytherin Prince. Even Crabbe and Goyle don't know what to do. The only one thing that is bothering Draco is his conscience. He feels so guilty. He can't stand the way how the students stares at Harry with disgusted looks. Because of him, Harry's life became even more miserable than ever. Because of him, Harry is experiencing even more pain. He hated himself for doing this.

Library

Harry is sitting with Ron and Hermione. The three of them are busy doing their Transfigurations homework that is to be pass after lunch. Being Transfigurations not Ron's best subject, he is sure having a hard time doing it. Hermione on the other hand would not let him copy her work. (which is not to mention, she finished doing a week before.)

"No you can't. You have to do it on your own." Said Hermione.

"Come on, please." Ron pleaded

"No."

"Look who's here?" Someone interrupted. The three of them turned their heads to see who it was.

"Mr. Harry Potter, or should I say Ms. Harry Potter." Pansy said.

"Quit it, Parkinson!" Said Ron while standing up. His temper rising."Oh that is so sweet, Weasley. Sticking up for your 'boyfriend', I must say." Another Slytherin girl said.

"Don't you have something better to do?" Snapped Hermione.

"What's your role? Potter's make-up artist?" Pansy said, throwing hermione a smirk. Hermione looked at them furiously.

"I knew it. You're gay. That explains why you haven't had a girlfriend yet."

"Stop that, Pansy!" Draco said.

"Oh, it's you Draco. You see, we were just having fun right now, why don't you join us?" Smiled Pansy.

"I'm not interested." Draco snapped. "What?" Asked Pansy.

"I told you, I'm not interested. So if you don't mind, get your own business and stop ruining other's life." spat draco. Pansy and the other Slytherin girl didn't dare to answer back but instead, they walked away.

"You okay, mate?" Ron asked. Harry nodded and smiled weakly for affimation that he is ok. But somehow, something inside of him wanted to give up. Hermione who surely knows what harry is feeling right at the moment, gave him a warm hug for comfort Few minutes passed., there was a loud noise that disturbed the library.

"What's that?" hermione said, turning her gaze to her boyfriend.

"I think it's coming from right there."

"I'll go check it out, okay? Ron, Stay here with Hermione." Harry said. he stood up from his chair and walked towards the darkest corner of the library.

"Okay. Be careful harry." Ron said.

Harry walked slowly towards the dark corner. He was surprised to see Draco there, banging his own head with on a hard wood shelf. Harry ran as fast as his legs could make him.

"What's wrong with you?! Why are you doing this to yourself?!" Asked Harry furiously, pulling Draco away from the shelf.

"It's my fault, Harry. It's my fault why they're treating you that way, I'm sorry…" Draco said, trying to fight back his tears.

"Stop it! You don't have to blame yourself. I understand why you were able to do that. It's okay, don't worry.." Said Harry, trying to calm Draco by caressing Draco's back.

"I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to--"

"It's okay…"

--

"Harry, are you okay?" Ron shouted from outside. Harry could hear footsteps coming near them.

"I'm okay Ron! Don't go in here!" Said harry quickly, motioning draco to stand up. Draco hurriedly obeyed. 'Shoot! Not now!' thought Harry.

"Then, what's taking you so long? What's inside there?" Asked Ron again.

"Uhmm...Lot's of spiders. Big ones! And a boggart!" Harry Lied.Hermione who's not convinced, walked towards the corner, leaving Ron aside.

"Don't go in there! It's dangerous!" Ron squirmed. "Ron, they're just spiders, will you relax?" Said Hermione.

"Okay... but I'm not coming with you."

"Fine. Harry, I'm coming in there!" said Hermione.

--

"Granger is coming this way. Harry, I have to go…" Draco muttered.

"Uh…okay…" Said Harry.

But it's already too late; Hermione came bursting out from the dark. Her eyes fixed on Harry and draco.
