Draco was looking around but all he could see was still only black. He wondered if something went wrong and tried to get out. He found he couldn't.
'Great! Now what?' he thought. Suddenly a chair appeared and a big screen popped up in front of him. Draco thought it looked similar to something the Muggles called a Movie Theatre.
"Hi Draco, glad you could make it," suddenly sounded through the room and Draco immediately recognized Harry's voice.
"Harry?" he carefully asked.
"Yeah, it's me. I bet you are wondering what the hell is going on?" he asked. Draco nodded.
"You're quite right. I also want to know when you are going to wake up. I'm really sorry for doing all of that to you. And I'm also sorry for treating you like scum all these years," Draco apologized sincerely.
"I know you're sorry. And I've already forgiven you long ago," Harry answered.
"Then why are you showing me all of this? Why aren't you waking up?" Draco practically pleaded. He heard Harry sigh.
"I can't wake up before I've shown you everything. I can tell you it's not going to take much longer. As for me wanting to show you these things? I'm usually not a talker. I drive Ron and Hermione nuts by not telling them things that bother me. I'm used to not having anyone to talk to so now I'm afraid. It's easier like this. I want you to get to know me," Harry explained and Draco was stunned.
"Why?" was all Draco could think of.
"Because I love you Draco," was the whispered response and Draco was speechless. Suddenly, the screen was lighting up and a movie of sorts was beginning. Draco sat down in the chair, mind still reeling from Harry's heart felt confession.
"I'll show you the moment of me finding out I was a wizard," Harry's voice was back and Draco looked at the screen. He saw Harry in a…shack, of some sort. Hagrid was there as well.
"You're a wizard Harry," Hagrid said. Draco watched as Harry froze and his expression was one of disbelieve.
"A what?" the boy stuttered. It was clear that Harry didn't believe the giant. Next few minutes proved Draco's assumptions.
"I can't be a wizard. I'm Harry, just Harry!" the raven haired boy on the screen protested.
"I didn't believe him at first. Then he started explaining things and I knew he was telling the truth. I didn't want him to be right actually, I thought that it made me even more of a freak. My relatives surely treated me that way," Harry said sadly.
"You're so called relatives should be in jail for doing that to you!" Draco said venomously.
"Nothing I can do about it now. Next is our first meeting. Do you remember that Draco?" The screen faded out and then showed Draco standing on a stool in Madam Malkins. He remembered it alright. He remembered being very intrigued by this strange boy.
"I do," Draco whispered, getting closer to the screen. He watched his behaviour towards Harry and could clearly see why Harry would turn him down.
"My God! I was a right brat! No wonder you refused my hand in first year!" he exclaimed. He heard Harry laugh and the screen showed them on the train, the moment Harry chose Ron over Draco. The blonde looked closely at Harry.
"You did want to take my hand!" Draco said shocked. He now could see the regret in screen-Harry's eyes as he watch the blonde's retreating back.
"Yes, I did. At that moment, you subconsciously asked me to choose between Ron and you. Ron was nice to me, we even had some similarities. You on the other hand, reminded me of my cousin and his air of arrogance. You had that too. So my decision was easy. I chose Ron. I did know I would've chosen to be you're friend as well as Ron, if you just had asked differently," Harry said and Draco realized his mistake.
"I see that now. I'm really sorry," Draco apologized again. The screen went black, the memories were over.
"Well, at least these memories weren't bad," Draco breathed and he heard Harry laugh again.
"Why is it that I can only hear you and not see you?" Draco said, getting a bit frustrated.
"Because I chose it that way. It's just easier."
"Alright, I do have another question though; I just recently found out that you are wearing glamours. I managed to take one off but not the other. Why's that?" Draco had been dying to know that.
"The first glamour was to hide my bruises and stuff. You knew about that already and that's why I allowed you to take the glamour off. The other glamour comes off when you've guessed what could be underneath that one. I'm sorry but I must go now, I didn't have long to start with. Bye Draco, love you," Harry said and that's the last Draco heard from Harry. He sighed.
"I love you too Harry. Damn it, I love you too!" Draco whispered and let himself fall back to reality again.
Harry was still sleeping and again, Draco found himself watching him closely. He wasn't as on guard and tense anymore and that made Draco feel better. Apparently, going to school at Hogwarts, helped him to be a bit more open and to feel safer as well. Draco still felt his blood boil at the thought of the Dursley's and their behaviour towards a small boy but at least Harry was on his way to heal from their torture. Draco sighed and went to sit at his desk, starting up on his huge pile of homework.
An hour later, Harry woke up. He didn't see Draco anywhere but he could hear the faint hustle of the pages of a textbook. He found Draco behind his desk, making his homework.
"Hi, how was the memory?" Harry asked. Draco smiled at him.
"Hi. The memory… it wasn't really a memory actually, but it was really enlightening. It really put things in perspective for me. It was good," Draco said and went to sit down next to Harry.
"Didn't think there would be something horrible. Eleven is actually a good year for once…well up to now I mean, I don't know how the year is going to end," Harry said.
"And I'm not going to tell you," Draco smirked, seeing right through Harry. The raven haired teen shrugged.
"Was worth a shot," he quipped and noticed that he was becoming transparent.
"Does this mean I have to go?" the boy asked, looking at his hands. Draco nodded.
"Sadly, yes. I'll see you later I hope," Draco said and hugged the eleven year old.
"Thank you for showing me you can be nice and making up with my friends!" And with that Harry disappeared. Draco smiled softly and went back to his homework, before going to bed.
