Summary: And all Harry heard were the three simple words that came out of Hermione's mouth: 'He was raped.'
A/N: no flames please :D

"Don't..."
Harry stopped in his tracks, the sound of the familiar voice he loved so much rooting him to the spot. His eyes were glued to the floor, hands in a fist, teeth clenched. He was fighting with himself, both fighting to ignore the voice, and fighting to go towards it. He was contemplating whether he should listen to what his heart was telling him; to stay.
But couldn't turn back. Not now.
"Harry..." The voice urged quietly, silently begging him to stay, to come back in the bed and hold him in his arms, as he always did. Every night. Always.
He heard a shuffling noise as the man he loved got off of the bed-- their bed. Harry took a few more steps forwards, but stopped as if it was the hardest thing to do.
"Please," the other man begged, his voice as soft as silk. Just like a music box playing a sad, but all the while beautiful melody.
"I can't, Dray. You know I can't," Harry murmured. He closed his eyes, gluing his eyelids together, hoping it would keep him from turning his head and looking back. Looking back and seeing his beautiful angel.
"I- y, you promised, Harry. You said so. I-- you said you loved me-- " Draco looked at Harry's back, hoping he'd turn around, face him, kiss him-- Anything. A long silence filled the cold hallway. Even the wind held its own breath.
"I love you." Draco whispered, the words hitting Harry like a million shards of glass delving into his chest, ripping his heart apart. He wanted to scream from the pain.
"I-- Draco, you know I can't," Harry said, tears threatening to fall. His shoulders were shaking.
"Har - "
" - just don't," Harry cut, "Don't, Draco. I- we can't, and you, you of all people should know that."
Draco's legs felt like they would give in from under him. He never loved anyone before. Harry knew that. No one, not even his own parents ever said they loved him. 'Love is a sign of weakness, Draco. If you love, then love will rip your heart apart.' His father would say. He always said that, and for the first time, Draco was starting to believe it.
"You told me that you loved me..." Tears started gracefully flowing down Draco's pale cheeks, emitting a small sob from him; a sob that he couldn't stop from coming out.
Harry heard both Draco's words and the sob as loud as if he were speaking through a microphone. Harry was racked with guilt. Guilt that would never leave him, forever scarring him and never to fade.
"I'm sorry, Draco," Harry said, trying to keep his voice as cool as possible, trying to keep Draco from hearing how shaky it truly was. He took a deep breath. Slowly, he turned his head. Harry wanted to see Draco again, just this one last time.
The sight of his love crying tears that should never have been shed was tearing him apart. He wanted to run back to Draco, pull him in his arms and whisper soft words of comfort, lulling him to sleep.
Draco's white-blond hair shone in the rays of the full moon, making it look like woven silk. His skin looked ghostly; a perfect shade of snow white. He was perfect, in every way possible. Even with the tears on his cheeks. He was Harry's and Harry's only.
Shutting his eyes firmly, a single tear fell onto the ground as Harry uttered a small, and barely audible 'I love you,' before disappearing with a loud CRACK that resonated throughout the now empty hallway.
The small blond fell to the floor, sobbing uncontrollably. He hadn't heard the three words Harry uttered. Maybe his father had been right all along. If you love, then love will rip your heart apart.
The only sounds now heard, were the quiet blowing of the wind, breezing its way past Draco's manor with a soft and sad whisper, along with the cries of the Malfoy.
