"You're awake!" Draco said in awe.

"Good observation," Harry chuckled. Draco stared at him far a little while longer and then launched himself back at Harry and held on tight, not wanting to let him go any more. Harry smiled and held him too.

"I'm so glad you're awake, I was starting to worry you know!" Draco scolded him softly but all Harry did was smile.

"I know and I'm sorry for that. I'm just glad that you finally know me and I know a lo about you too. I'm glad I don't have to keep anything secret anymore," Harry sighed

"Tell me everything Harry; how did you pull all of this of?" Draco asked after a while, settling down next to Harry and resting his head on the teen's chest.

"Well, first I was caught in this darkness and I couldn't get out. I didn't exactly like that so I just started pushing against it with my magic. It got me into this peaceful world that I just can't describe and I had some time to think. And I thought about our relationship and the fact that you didn't know me as well as I wanted you to know me. I created Harry age 4 and send him to you. It was also the ultimate chance to see you from another side as well, to get to know you, because I could see how you treated 4 year old me. I could see it all.

From then on I decided that I would send other Harry's as well, all with a different memory of how my life was and how I became who I am today. I'm sorry that you were burdened with me but it was the only thing I could think of while being in a coma and not being able to get out. I'm also sorry for sending those disturbing memories to you and forcing you to watch them, I hope you can forgive me for that," Harry explained and Draco took a while to process it.

"I forgive you Harry. But it wasn't a burden to have you around and I needed to see those memories to fully understand your point of view. Just promise me something," Draco said while looking into Harry's eyes.

"What?"

"Those memories of 13 and 16 year old you, those shocked me the most. Promise to never do that again, please?" Draco pleaded, tears starting to form in his eyes. Harry hugged him tighter.

"Those were dark times in my life. It's not that easy to just give it up but I'll try," Harry promised. Draco nodded and snuggled closer.

"Did you mean it?" Harry asked suddenly.

"Mean what?" Draco asked confused.

"That you love me?" Harry whispered, not looking at Draco, fearing he would be rejected. Draco made quick work of reassuring Harry that he meant it by pressing a gentle kiss against the teen's lips. Harry gasped at the gentleness and Draco slipped his tongue past Harry's lush lips.

"You prat, how could I not love you? You don't know how happy I was when you told me you loved me in the memory of 11 year old you. I was stunned, yes. But I was also so happy. Did you know that I had a crush on you since 5th year? Probably sooner but that's when I first realized it. So yes Harry, I really love you." Draco said firmly and now Harry was the one with tears in his eyes.

"I love you too," Harry whispered and kissed Draco with all his passion, telling the blonde exactly just how much he loved him.

"You know, I should actually thank Longbottom," Draco said. Harry frowned.

"Because he saved your life, and I'm forever grateful that you are here with me because of it," Draco explained and Harry looked away, now ashamed of his behaviour. Draco would have non of it.

"You really are lucky to be here you know? If he was a few minutes later, you wouldn't have made it. Granted, all of this would have never happened but then I wouldn't have had the opportunity to get to know the love of my life. If you ever feel like that again, tell me and I'll make you feel good again.

I know a place were very few people dare to come and I'll take you there. 11 year old you thought it was a very peaceful place and that he could sit there all day long, just thinking. I just don't want to lose you Harry, not when I just found you, not ever," Draco confessed and Harry's tears were now making a silent path down his cheeks.

"I'm sorry Draco. I'm sorry for worrying you. I promise I'll stop. I'll stop just for you, because I know you can make me feel good again. Just never leave me and I'll be alright," Harry whispered and received another heated kiss from Draco.

"Never! I'll never leave you love," Draco told him firmly and they sat in silence for a while, thinking about what had happened that changed their lives so radically.

After a while, Harry felt Draco's hand gripping his and his soft lips on his own chapped ones. Harry moaned at the sweetness of the kissed and pressed himself against Draco, seeking as much contact as possible.

"I love you with every fibre of my being and I want you to never doubt it," Draco whispered against Harry's mouth. He felt him nod and kissed his lover again.

"I love you too Draco, I love you so very much, that I'm almost scared of believing this is all true," Harry said softly.

"Well you better believe it because it really is true," Draco said.

It wouldn't take long for the Quartet to find out that Harry was awake, so they just snuggled up together, talking softly and enjoying each other's presence, till their friends would come and demand answers. They would handle it together because both finally knew the other in every way possible and no one could tear them apart, not ever.

THE END
