A/N: hell – OOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Well… here I'm back again (Muh ha ha YOU CANT ESCAPE ME!) … I'm sorry I don't know where that came from. ANYWAYS I wanted to put in a second chapter, because I don't think that the first chapter explained too much. AND OF COURSE, THANK YOU: RitaMalfoy, TillDeathDoYouPart GreyscaleTones and Dezra for you're oh so nice reviews (P.S. it says that there were 5 reviews, but the fifth one hasn't shown up yet, so thanks to whomever sent it) ON WITH THE STORY!

Draco brought Harry into the Hospital Wing quickly, and was grateful that the rest of the school was still in their dorms. The moment they entered, Madam Pomfrey came bustling out of her office, wrapping her morning robe around her waist.

"For Merlin's sake boys!" she scowled as she immediately gave them separate beds to sit on. "Good lord… you look like you've been sleeping in the snow." She said as her eyes narrowed on Harry.

"F-f-fell in the l-lake" Harry muttered, still shivering. "He… s-saved me" Harry looked over at Draco and smiled, who returned the smile.

Madam Pomfrey looked back and forth at the two boys, obviously trying to figure out their odd behaviour. After a few seconds, she waved it off and got to work. She conjured some extremely warm blankets and wrapped them up like if it was a straitjacket. She poured a potion in their mouths, which seemed to burn their throats because they both coughed and spat it out.

Madam Pomfrey rolled her eyes as she gave them another portion of the potion, warning them this time that it would actually burn their throats momentarily. Malfoy sneered at her as Harry laughed, and they both managed to take the potion fully this time.

There was knocking on the door and Madam Pomfrey went to open it. She was almost trampled down by the stampede of two red haired children, and someone with bushy brown hair. Ron, Ginny and Hermione came barging into the room and went to Harry's bed. Ginny and Hermione had tears in their eyes, and Ron looked frantic.

"Oh Harry!" Ginny and Hermione cried as they both hugged him.

"Thank god you're alright" Ron said, paler than a ghost. "Bloody hell mate, why the hell would you do that?" Ron bite his lip as though trying suppress tears, but it didn't work as he too hugged Harry.

Draco watched from his bed as they starting talking in urgent whispers. They were all crying now, especially Harry, but he wasn't saying anything to them.

The door opened again, but this time no one knocked. Pansy, Blaise, Crabbe and Goyle came strutting in, noses high in the air as they looked down on everyone in the room. Only the Gryffindors seemed to notice Malfoy rolling his eyes at their pathetic behavior.

Pansy sat right on top of Draco, pushing her breast against his chest as she hugged him with as much grace as she could – which mind you wasn't very much. Draco awkwardly patted her on the back and she withdrew from the hug. She fluttered his eyelashes in what she must have thought to be 'seductively'.

"Oh Draco" She sighed dramatically. "Look at you, you're shaking!" She looked over at Harry and glared at him, as if it was his fault. She obviously thought it was because Draco was cold, but really Pansy was sitting on his groin, and it hurt very much.

Draco smiled weakly, but Blaise could see that his expression really said "fuck-Pansy-I'm-going-to-kill-you" and he started laughing hysterically.

Pansy rounded on him and glared at Blaise as well. She jumped of Draco – who sighed gratefully with relief – and pointed her wand at Blaise.

"Ooooh" he said mockingly. "I'm SO scared Pansy. What are you gunna do? Poke my eye out with that thing?"

"I'll hex you into oblivion if you laugh at Draco's pain again" she snarled, but this just made Blaise laugh even more.

Pansy took a deep breath as she prepared to shout a spell, when Madam Pomfrey came out of her office looking furious. "Mrs. Parkinson!" she yelled. "10 points from Slytherin! Do not perform such magic in the hospital wing! Out! Out! OUT!"

The Slytherins left the Hospital Wing as Pansy blew a kiss at Draco, who attempted to wave the invisible kiss away with his hand. Madam Pomfrey rounded on the Gryffindors and pointed to the exit, and they too quickly left with final teary waves of good-byes.

Draco was about to get up to leave, when Madam Pomfrey rushed to his side and pushed him back down on the bed.

"Mr. Malfoy you're going to have to stay here for a while longer so the potion can take full affect. Now lie back down." She quickly tucked him tightly in the blankets so that he couldn't even move, and did the same for Harry.

Draco's mind started wondering as he thought about all the stuff that just happened. He suddenly wondered… When the hell did he fall in love with Harry? He and Harry had been fighting since their first year… when did it change? Perhaps in forth year? The Yule Ball? Dances just have a way of doing that to teenagers… yes that's probably it.

Draco tried with all of his might to fight against the tight blanket and moved his head. He looked over at Harry and smiled, but Harry wasn't looking at him. Harry had tears streaming down his face. He was staring at the ceiling and was crying silent tears. Draco too went back to looking at the ceiling, a new thought in his mind. Why was Harry going to drown himself? Harry has definitely been through more than anyone in this entire school, but he also has some of the greatest friends. Surely he would have talked to them about what this was all about… unless his friends didn't know? What if this was something that he was keeping to himself? What if he was bottling up some sort of emotion, some problem… and he lost control.

Draco pondered these thoughts for what seemed to forever, when suddenly Madam Pomfrey came back to him and set him free of the heavy blankets. Draco looked around and saw Harry already going out the door. Draco went out the door, a quick thanks to Madam Pomfrey and ran after Harry. There were a number of students awake and walking around the corridors. Seeing that the sun was only now rising, that wasn't much of a surprise. Draco instantly spotted Harry and ran after him.

"Harry!" he called when he reached him. Harry stopped, but didn't look around towards Draco.

Harry hung his head, his hands covering his mouth. Draco moved his head to get a better look at Harry's face, and he was crying hard. He was trying to muffle the sounds with his hands, and his eyes were screwed shut as heavy tears cam from them.

"Oh, Harry…" Draco wrapped his arms around Harry and sat him down on a bench. Harry cried into Draco's shoulders as Draco said soothing words to him. A few people started to stare, and Draco flipped them off a few times, adding on a sneer.

Draco helped Harry up, going to take them to a more private place. The prefects bathroom was close to where they where, and he helped the traumatized Harry walk there. They got there surprisingly fast, Draco snarling at anyone who started at them. Draco said the password, and locked the door so they wouldn't be disturbed.

Draco and Harry sat on the floor against the wall, and this time Harry let it all out. He cried hard into Draco's shoulder, and squeezed his hand. Draco started to cry too. He didn't know why, but he could feel the pain that Harry seemed to be going through.

After about fifteen minutes, Harry's crying seemed to have died down, and his breathing was normal. Draco was caressing Harry's soft hair and kissed him on the forehead.

"Harry" he whispered softly. "Why were you going into the lake?"

Harry didn't answer, but a tear came from one of his eyes.

"I understand if you don't want to talk about it just yet" Draco said soothingly. "I just want you to know that I'm here by your side, and you don't have to keep this to yourself anymore."

Harry closed his eyes and spoke. "Voldemort."

Draco held out his hand again, and Harry took it. He squeezed Draco's hand and Draco did the same as Harry went on. He told Draco about how so many are relying on him, how much hope they have in him. He told him about the Order, he explained the prophecy to Draco, about how either Voldemort would kill him, or he would kill Voldemort.

"Draco… I'm so sorry" Harry cried in Draco's warm embrace.

"It's ok" Draco said, tears streaming from his own eyes. "I don't think that you should go and try taking the easy way out Harry. You're stronger than that, I know you are." Draco spoke softly as he rested his head on top of Harry's. "I know all of this pressure is hard on you, but if you look around, you'll see that there are so many people who are trying to help you with this. They're teaching you, they're staying by you're side, they're being someone you can trust."

Draco looked down at Harry and his face was so close to Harry's that Harry could feel Draco's warm breath on his mouth. "Harry… don't you ever think you're alone in all of this. Because you're not. You have friends by your side, you have the Order, and you will always, always, have me." He gently kissed Harry, their lips moving in perfect harmony together. It was passionate, even though it was a closed kiss, and Harry felt himself gain strength from it.

"Draco," he said with a teary smile. "Oh Draco, I love you…"

"I love you too"

"Draco…" Harry said quietly as he looked down away. "I just… I don't want you to get hurt…"

Draco moved his head to catch Harry's eyes, but Harry looked away again. "Harry," Draco said unsurely. "What are you saying?"

"I… I… I don't want something to happen to you…. And I think… we shouldn't be together just yet…."

Draco thought he felt his heart stop. He looked down at Harry who looked up with the same pained expression on his face. Harry quickly got up and ran. He ran out the door. He ran through the corridors and back to his dorm, leaving Draco in the bathroom. Draco was still sitting on the floor, still against the wall, except now he was crying harder than ever.
