Bedtime Story...

If you could wish for anything what would it be? Money? Power? Respect? A big house? I'd ask for a trouble-free life with nothing exciting happening or danger around every corner. For my parents to be alive. For Sirius to be free. For Voldemort to have never risen to power. But I don't have that I'm Harry James Potter a.k.a Boy-who-lived a.k.a Hogwarts golden boy a.k.a Potter (to Voldemort, the Dursley's and Snape.) nothing can be simple for me. Sometimes I wonder if I would miss this kind of life if I did have a normal life...

Right now I just wish Draco would pick a side, I would love it if he would choose mine. But if he doesn't I won't cry or beg him to do anything if he sides with the dark lord. I'll just do what I should have done from the start and walk away.

But what if Draco does pick the light side. I smirked rolling my eyes at the way that sounded. 'The Light Side' makes it sound like some knock-off version of the Star Wars. Before you know it Voldemort will be claiming to be my father while I cradle my hand-less arm. An image of me holding my arm and Voldemort standing before me came to mind and before I can stop myself I laugh out loud, the sound echoing around the room.

I'm in the Astronomy Tower, and it's the last day before Hols vacation is over. I hadn't seen Draco since the day I left him at the lake. Draco's been avoiding me, making sure that he has left the Great Hall before I come into eat. To say in the least it's been very exasperating. It's nearing sunset and I had gotten away from Hermione and Ron, spending the better part of the day wandering around reflecting about everything.

"What's so funny?" A familiar drawl asked behind me. I turned to face Draco who was leaning upon the door with his hands crossed over his chest.

"Something." I said smirking.

He remained silent but raised an eyebrow. I've been waiting to damn long for these games and I wanted to know now. So I sit up and turned my body to face him.

"So-" I started to say but he cut in.

"When I was young my father always taught me that to be a Malfoy was to be great, to be powerful." Draco paused and let his eyes look into mine before looking off into space.

Not knowing what to do I stayed quiet and he started to talk once again. "He always told me that Malfoys don't cry, or show any weakness including love. To love was to be vulnerable; when you married it was for power and money. Muggles and Muggle-born people were beneath us. The dark lord was a blessing and he would get rid of those who were not deemed worthy." Draco stopped again and sighed.

"But then I grew up and realized my father lied to me. If we're so above everyone why does the dark lord treat us like we're one-step up from muggle-borns. And then I came here and saw muggle-borns weren't as my father said, they weren't stupid and scroungers but could be as smart and powerful as a pureblood... look at Granger." The slytherin smirked and finally his gray eyes were on me.

"I don't bow down to anyone Harry and I don't want to kill either." Draco finished on a quiet note.

I stood there shocked beyond words at what he just finished telling me and realized at how complex Draco really was. The boy was a mystery. But I did comprehend after a moment that he was going to go against his father and Voldemort.

Despite what he said I found myself asking. "Are you sure? Remember what you told me... You will go against everything you've been taught."

He smirked as he approached me, and wrapped his arms around my waist. "Why? Changed your mind about wanting me?" Draco raised an eyebrow.

I smiled and shook my head before capturing his lips in a kiss, his response is immediate and soon the kiss is more heated. So wrapped up in each other we didn't notice the door open or the gasps. We didn't notice anything till I heard my name being called out by a familiar voice and I sharply turned to face my two best friends. Hermione looked shocked but Ron was glaring and it was directed at me.

"Ron-" I tired saying.

"Traitor! How could you with Malfoy!" The redhead said before running out and Hermione followed him without saying a word.

I quickly left Draco's embrace and headed for the door to catch up with them but Draco caught my arm and pulled me back. But I wasn't thinking about him at the moment, it was Ron and Hermione. God they knew now and all the lies I told them have come to the surface.

"Draco please." I needed to talk to them before it was too late. They wouldn't understand that Draco had changed and even though I wanted to tell them I couldn't.

Draco sighed and let me go but not before placing a kiss on my lips. "Good luck." He said.

I nodded and rushed to the door. I've always been a fast runner and easily caught up with them right before they entered the Gryffindor common room. They both ignored me, not even glancing at me though I still know their mad at me.

"You have to listen to me." I said shutting the door behind me.

Ron turned around red faced and still glaring, he reminded me of Mrs. Weasley when angry but this was a hateful look not angry. "We don't have to listen to you! You lied to us! All those times you would disappear and reappear now make sense. And it'd be ok with anyone else but why with the git Malfoy!?"

"Draco-" I started to say but yet again I don't get to finish as Hermione broke in.

"So you're on first name bases." She shook her head. "Harry he's a slytherin and not to mention his dad works for you-know-who or have you forgotten?"

"Draco's not like that. Really he's different from what he use to be."

"Is that what he told you?" Ron sneered. They wouldn't let me explain and I was getting angry, I know lying to them was wrong but if they would only let me explain then things could be resolved.

"No it's what I've been seeing since the beginning of the year!" I snapped back at him,

"You've been sleeping with him since the start of the year?"

"Yes and he's not going to join Voldemort. Draco's different." I said definitely.

"How easy you forget all those times he called us names or tried to get us into trouble."

"We called him names too." I pointed out and they were both shocked by this but I didn't care. Draco is not the same boy he use to be back in fourth year and they're just judging from the old Draco.

"How can you pick him over us!?" Ron asked.

"I'm not!"

"Yes you are!"

"You don't chose who you fall in love with!" I screamed and clamped a hand over my mouth gasping. I stared at Hermione and Ron who are also shocked and before anything more could be said I left the common room.

A/n- So finally Harry has, unintentionally, admitted that it is more then just an infatuations but that he really loves Draco. I know I'm not the only one when I say 'Duh!". But what did you think? You have to tell me.... no really you do... don't look at me like that...

Draco's on the light side! Another round of 'duh's' go around. But I hope you like how I had him do it. I didn't want the simple "Ok Harry I love you so I choose to be on your side."

But now we have another problem will Harry tell Draco the truth... probably not. But I think that Pansy will have something to say soon.... just wait and see what she has in store for Draco.

I know it's short but like I said their not meant to be long because I cover certain things and can't go over to the next chapter. But don't worry now that SAT are over (for now) I will have more time to update. Next update will be up soon.
