Chapter seven

His feet led him to the quidditch field. He looked up and saw he was not the only one there. Someone else was wondering around the field. Harry could only see the light from the wand. Harry had walked in the dark. He had become used it. He could see well enough in it. He looked across the field carefully trying to see it was... Draco Malfoy. He was sat down. Draco's face was what Harry called in a thoughtful expression. It would seem he wasn't the only one who needed to think.

-

Draco heard a rustling. 'Nox' he muttered quietly. He couldn't see who it was but Draco was not in the mood to be disturbed. He knew that people would often come talk to him in the dead of night. People like Lavender Brown. They asked for him to listen. He always would. Contrary to what people thought Draco Malfoy was a nice guy. As was his father. Sure they were on 'Voldermorts' side but not many knew that he was in fact a good man. The darker families did know though. Draco watched into the darkness. He saw no one but knew someone was there.

"Hello Malfoy." Draco heard Potter's voice. Draco sighed. It was typical that it was Potter. The moment he wanted peace someone like Potter would bother him.

-

Harry thought his options over. His dreams were often correct. The last had basically told him to talk to Malfoy. He walked up to the seated boy. "Hello Malfoy." The boy sighed. Harry smiled.

"What do you want Potter?" Harry looked Draco in the eyes. Draco gasped. Dull green eyes. "My dream! You!" Harry watched Draco. He had no idea that Draco had shared a dream. "You gave me your heart..."

"I didn't understand it either. It would seem we shared a dream. Remember." The events of earlier that day flooded back to Draco. Draco looked up at Harry. Harry looked away. Shame showed on his face. Draco needed to know. He knew it. He felt it. Harry always followed his feelings.

"It was you. You took away my... I knew I had forgotten something. You... you're very powerful... Let me see them." Harry wasn't sure. He didn't trust Draco yet. /You don't want his pity… don't show him. Could you stand the pain you give someone by showing your scars. Two people knowing… it's just too much./ "Please Harry." Harry sighed. He looked up to Dracos' eyes. They showed emotion. Emotion that Harry knew Draco normally hid from the world. He knew he had to show Draco. Harry pulled off his shirt and took of the charm.

Draco watched the scars appear all over the others body. He wanted to touch them. He wanted to touch Harry. He wanted to take Harry's pain away. Draco brushed away his tears. He knew Harry did not want pity. He didn't know how, he just knew. Draco held his arms out to Harry. Harry found himself in an embrace with Draco. He cried into Draco's shoulder ruining Draco's favourite shirt. Draco didn't care though. He felt good. Harry in his arms. For the first time he felt he was doing something right. He was helping someone he hated. Someone who needed the help more than anyone. Someone he felt for.

-

Lavender knew Harry wouldn't go straight to his dorm. She had heard about his midnight walks. She was going to follow him. She was sure she knew why he went to walk. He went to cut. She knew she couldn't let him continue to do so. She knew that she needed to help him. Well help him as best she could and that also meant she would have to stop him from cutting when she knew he was going to. /He won't write anymore… not now I know… I'll miss his writing but I think it's better he doesn't cut anymore./ Lavender discovered she was right and followed Harry to the quidditch pitch; hiding in the shadows not wanted to be noticed until she knew for sure that he was going to cut. She saw Harry talking to Draco; she didn't mind Draco was actually someone she would talk to about her problems. He was actually quite caring when he wanted to be. She watched as Harry removed his shirt to show Draco. /I thought I was something special to you Harry, but obviously I am not./ Tears flooded down her cheeks. /This is so stupid I should be happy he's trying to talk to someone… but why not me Harry/ She hated him for it. She knew the stories but she still hated the fact on the same day she found out about Harry he went to show Draco Malfoy someone she thought Harry hated. She couldn't stand watching as Draco embraced Harry, Harry crying once again. Lavender ran.

-

Harry soon realized whom he was hugging. He pulled away quickly. He hadn't meant to seem so weak... then again he knew he was weak. He couldn't control his emotions. He never had been able to. Not like Draco. Draco's eyes always seemed cold. Like ice. Harry felt stupid and venerable. He didn't like it.

"I'm sorry... I shouldn't have I must go..." Harry turned to leave but Draco held his wrist lightly. A magic inside Harry grew making Harry unable to move away. He didn't know what this was. Harry cried out when light poured out from his body. Harry fell to his knees.

Draco called out to Harry as he fell to the floor. Nothing seemed wrong to him he couldn't see the bright light and couldn't feel magic running through him. He still had a hold of Harry's hand yet Harry never pulled away and only fell to the ground.

Harry stared up at Draco. Draco released Harry's wrist only to hold Harry. The light Harry could see disappeared when Draco let his go but grew stronger as Draco held him. Harry tried desperately to get away from Draco and the light but he could not.

"What are you doing to me? Let me go!" Draco let go his heart filling with pain as he watched Harry run. He watched Harry run from his life.
