Title: How do you know?

Disclaimer: Don't own any of the characters, that privilege belong s to the eloquent Mrs. JKR. Besides, it's not like I am going to make any money off this anyways.

Warnings: SLASH! Don't like, Don't read! There will also be language in this chapter as well… maybe some adult situations…hmmm…if I can fit them in.

Pairings: Harry/ Draco, Mione/Ron and whoever else I feel like throwing in!

Rating: I'm going to be safe and say "R" for language.

A/N: Okay, I've got next to nil for reviews on this, and it's hard to continue this without any reviews…I will finish it, simply because unfinished stories are a pet peeve to me, but the updates would probably be faster if I had more reviews…they are like fuel thrown on the fire…By the way, thanks to the 2 people that did review! I love you for that! It's also fairly pathetic that I have more reviews for my one-shot LOLA, that was just posted this week, than I do for this...Come on...Just click that little button down there. I'm not begging, just politely asking.

You knew I wasn't perfect before we began.

Did you ever look back and wish I was different?

You were young and so naive,

I was young in years, but so old in matter of life's experiences.

We didn't have sex that night; we just laid in each others arms and talked until we fell asleep. I remember looking at Harry after he fell asleep…I just stared in awe at him. "I honestly do not know what I thought about. I never gave my sexual escapades any thought. I mean, I thought it was normal…it is, is it not? At least for a slytherin it is. I guess I just never thought thatyou would be a virgin. Merlin's sake, the hottest, sweetest guy there is, and you're a bloody virgin? I guess that muggle saying, how does it go? 'Nice guys finish last,' Must apply to Potters as well. Well, except thatyou have me now, and that wouldputyou in first place, right? Well I am the best looking, but, as far as any moral character goes…shit, Harry…Maybeyouare in last place with me. Fuck those muggles and their sayings. Harry and I are first rate. At least that is how you see it Harry, and so that is the way that it will be, just for you."

"Maybe it's not too late for me to change. You knew I was not perfect, before I turned your world upside down…but did you ever wish I was different? You still fell in love with me despite that, but damn were you naïve. I know a lot more about life than you do. You were kept in a bubble, to be protected and sheltered until you fulfilled your prophecy. You were such a good little boy. You took such hell when they found out you were dating me. I told you that I was just misunderstood, but explained that with the pranks and verbal spouts, and what not. I was not misunderstood when asked about all the rumors about me as the "Slytherin Sex God". You laughed it off, but did you notice that I didn't answer. I wasn't laughing. I wasn't, what did Mrs. Weasley call Hermione 4th year? A Scarlet Woman? I do not think that it applies to men. See in my family, men are proud of their sexual prowess. I thought that the more people I slept with the better I would become. Which in essence is true, you have never had a complaint. But I never thought of the ramifications of this. I never thought that someone I was with would not have the same idea of it. I guess what it boils down to is, I never thought. That was it. I wish I could change the past for you, but I can not, though I can change how I behave in the future.I will do just that for you, Harry."

"God I have been through so much Harry Potter. Even though you bested that sick, old Voldemort, what 8 times? God…It's amazing you are still alive. But as far as experience goes anywhere else…you are but a child. Just relax and let it all up to me. I will do whatever it takes to make you happy Harry James Potter. You deserve no less. I know you love me, though I do not know why, but I love you as well, so let's hope that stupid Potter luck of yours can carry us along until we are past all ofthis."

Draco Malfoy leaned over and gave Harry Potter a chaste kiss on his forehead before falling asleep. He didn't know that Harry wasn't asleep, but had been listening to his ranting the whole time, and had the light been on, he would have seen the tears streaming down Harry's face. "I love you too Draco, I will do what I can to make you happy as well. Goodnight my love." With that he joined Draco falling dast asleep, assured that tomorrow would be a brighter day.

A/N: OKay hit that lil button down there, and also if anyone is interested, I need a new beta, mine had her baby last week, so she'll be outta commission for awhile. Also I apologize that this is short, but it seemes like a good place to stop. Okay, now hit the go in the box on the left...that's it! THank you!
