Chapter 4: Dying Heart

Harry slowly backed up till he hit the wall and reached into his pocket and grabbed his wand and held it tight.

Voldemort smirked as he looked at the hero of the wizarding world. "Jumping to conclusions boy, as you see I am unarmed…though you may keep your wand out if it makes you feel stronger." The older man said walking over the large snake lying across the floor.

Tightening his grip till his knuckles were white Harry kept his eyes fixed on the dark lord to watch for any sudden moves.

The fireplace beside him erupted in green flames as two masked Death Eaters stepped into the room and bowed to their lord.

"Crabbe, Goyle take Mr. Potter to his new room and make sure it is to his liking" The snake man said with a smirk as the two men grabbed Harry's arms and pulled him from the room and up the large magnificent staircase to a small guest room that had been charmed to keep the boy in.

Harry looked around the room it was bigger than any bedroom he ever had. It was bigger than the boy's dorm at school. This must be a guest room, there isn't too much in here… but if this is a guest room what do the other rooms look like. Harry thought as he heard the door slam and the many locks on the other side clicking as they locked him in. When the last lock clicked it finally sunk in that he had walked into a trap.

Looking at his hand he noticed that he still had his wand. But his mind was blank; he wished he had Hermione to help him remember the spell to open the locks. Pocketing his wand he sighed.

Draco had been allowed to go to his room and freshen up in his private bathroom, to wash the grime of being on the island for so long off before presenting himself to his father.

When the grand tub finished filling the blonde slipped into the bath he leaned back against the cool stone and sighed as he closed his eyes to enjoy the warmth of the water. The youngest Malfoy knew that he had to play it cool with his father and hopefully not get caught in a lie.

After getting cleaned Draco walked back into his room and put on a fresh white silk shirt and black pants that resembled the muggle horse riding pants. When he finished drying his hair Draco made his way to the parlor his hair falling around his face.

"You wanted to speak to me father?" Draco asked hiding the fear that tried to force its way out of his body.



Lucius looked at his son and smiled at him" Tonight Draco we are going to witness the greatest moment in history…the downfall of the great hero Harry Potter. The dark lord has decided to get rid of him tonight once and for all." Lucius said in an almost giddy tone.

Draco felt the color start to fade from his face, luckily his father kept the room semi dark to preserve the tapestries on the walls from fading. "It sound perfect father, I should get ready then" the young blonde said as he let out a sigh as he was dismissed.

Running down the hall Draco felt like he was going to be sick, swallowing the rising bile from his stomach he turned down another hall to the nearest wash closet and became violently ill at the thought of loosing Harry that night. House elves crowded around the door as one elf brought Narcissa to her ill son.

"Draco dear what's wrong?" Narcissa asked rubbing her son's back softly.

The young blonde moved away and leaned against the wall taking the towel from the rack and wiping his mouth. "I'm fine mother, it must have been something I ate earlier." He lied as he got to his feet; rinsing his mouth out with a glass of water one elf held out to him he pushed past the house elves and walked down the hall his fingers running through his hair.

I tried to save Potter and I did, how am I going to get him out of this one…I'm sure being the great Harry Potter he can get himself out of this if he tried. The blonde mused in his head as he leaned against a small alcove and sighed softly. He gazed at the stone wall and tried to think of how to save his raven haired hero.

Snapping his head up Draco remembered that the manor had secret passages. If he could find his way through them he could find his way into the room Harry was being kept in. Going down the hall to another empty room he entered the passageway lit with lit torches behind the large book case and went through the walls till he came to the exit.

Pushing a small stone in the wall the fire in the fireplace magically went out and the back disappeared to reveal the room beyond it. Stepping through the opening Draco stood silently in the room.

--
Harry was trying to figure out how to get out when he was being guarded. Turning around at the sound of foot steps behind him he saw his new friend standing before him. The Gryffindor seeker had to mentally admit the outfit Draco was wearing was very hot.

Before Harry was able to say anything Draco's hand was covering his mouth to keep him from speaking.



Out of curiosity Harry opened his mouth to speak under Draco's hand, instead his tongue had a mind of its own and darted out and lapped against the blonde's palm quickly before retracting back into the safe cavern of his mouth.

Draco smirked as he moved his hand away and replaced it with his lips to keep his former rival quiet. With a few quick darts, Draco had coaxed Harry's tongue into a fight for control. After a minute Harry felt like his lungs were going to shrivel up from lack of air. Sensing this, the blonde pulled away and let his new lover breathe.

"Draco tell me the truth, you were the one writing the letters to me weren't you? And you meant every word?" Harry asked as he continued to catch his breath. Pulling his glasses off he put them on the small table that stood in the center of the room with a small vase and two chairs by it.

Nodding his head Draco started to place small kisses on Harry's lips, pulling away each time Harry tried to kiss back. When Draco tried to move back from another kiss Harry reached up and grabbed the blonde by the back of the neck and pulled him into a bruising kiss showing his rougher primal nature. Draco hated to admit it but seeing his effect on the emerald eyed teen was quite a turn on.

Harry let go and started to catch his breath again when Draco practically tackled him to the ground and started to attack his neck like a starving vampire.

Between small pants of lust Harry finally wrapped his mind around the words he wanted to say.

"Those….letters, god… they made me fall for you and I didn't even know someone could care that much about me. Only known for one thing or hated by my relatives I never felt this much love for being myself… Merlin… I'm in love with you…" Harry said in Draco's ear as the blonde moved down to Harry's collarbone and straddled his lap and just as he was about to rip the golden boy's clothes off he heard the locks began to click open.

Jumping up like a scared rabbit Draco hid back in the wall behind the fireplace as the door opened.

Draco ran down the tunnels till he fell out into his own room, landing on the floor he caught his breath as a house elf popped into the room telling him his father wanted him to come downstairs.

--
Snape walked into the room and looked down at Harry laying on the floor

"Get to your feet boy, your wanted downstairs" Snape said as he walked over to Harry and pulled him to his feet and shoved his glasses into his hands. Leading the boy roughly out of the room and toward the staircase they came face to face with Draco as they descended the stairs into the darkness of the grand study.

The circle of Death Eaters broke to allow Harry into the center where the dark lord was waiting.



Voldemort turned around and snapped his fingers as two cloaked men came forward and held Harry in place.

"My dear Harry…you somehow manage to slip away from me, but I've been assured that you won't be moving much longer…Severus, you promised me a quick death, but that doesn't mean I won't be having my fun beforehand." The dark lord said pulling out his wand and pointing it at Harry.

Struggling against the grip of the men that held him Harry kept his eyes locked with the snake-man that had killed his parents.

"Crucio"

Harry couldn't hold the pain back; his body struggled as he screamed in pain from the curse.

Draco stood beside his father watching in horror as the only person he truly cared for was being tortured. He wanted to scream as well but his voice had died in his throat.

Laughter from behind masks was muffled by the screams that were torn out of the boy who lived.

Voldemort's lips curled into a sickening smirk as he released the curse for a moment only to raise his wand again and roar out the unforgiveable curse once again.

Lucius clapped his hand against Draco's shoulder as he laughed along with his fellow Death Eaters. The younger Malfoy almost buckled under the weight, his knees felt weak once again but he held his composure.

Snape stepped forward once more from the shadows of the circle carrying a crystal vial in his hands. "My lord… I have what you wanted" Snape practically shouted over the screams.

Once again Voldemort lifted the curse and grabbed the vial and pulled the stopper out and made his way over to Harry.

"For the last time Harry… good bye" Voldemort said forcing Harry's mouth open and practically shoving the entire vial down his throat.

Sputtering for a moment against the vial Harry finally swallowed the contents and was released by the two masked men. Falling to the ground in a heap, everyone's eyes were fixed on his breathing as it slowly stopped.

Draco felt his own heart breaking into millions of pieces that he knew would never be fixed by anyone else. The only person that he loved with all his heart was lying dead on the floor.

Soon whoops and hollers of joy filled the room as the Death Eaters made their way out of the room and into the vast ballroom to celebrate for the rest of the evening.



"Severus, I trust you will take care of that and make sure Dumbledore gets the boy's body. I'm sure this will send a message that no one can defeat me." Voldemort said as he left the room as well leaving Snape and Draco behind.

Waiting till the door snapped shut Draco moved over to Harry and kneeled next to him and pulled him into his arms and started to cry into his raven locks.

Snape made his way over and placed a hand on Draco's shoulder before helping him to his feet and over to the large fireplace. Grabbing a handful of floo powder he tossed it into the fire and stepped in with Draco and Harry's body.

"Dumbledore's office" Snape called as they were sucked through the floo network until they landed in the lavish office of the Hogwarts headmaster.

--
Rising from his chair Dumbledore walked over and stood before the potion master and looked at Draco cradling Harry's limp body in his arms. "Draco…he's gone, you need to let go" Dumbledore said softly as he put his hand on the blonde's shoulder.

Shaking his head from side to side Draco held Harry tighter. "He… can't…be… he…just can't be… I never… got to tell him… that I loved him" Draco sobbed as he started to rock back and forth.

"Severus, I think it would be best if you took Draco and bring him to Poppy to take care of him, he needs to rest now." The headmaster said as he got back to his feet.

Snape moved over to the blonde and after prying him off of Harry's body he hoisted him to his feet and marched him out of the headmaster's office and down to the hospital ward.

When they arrived Madam Pomfrey had just finished ushering two students out their ears smoking slightly. As her eyes fell on Draco she waved him to a bed and started to fuss over him like a mother hen.

Draco sat there staring at the wall, his pale cheeks were blotchy and puff. His head felt like it was going to split open. He could hear voices talking but the words meant nothing to him.

When Madam Pomfrey held a small vial up to Draco's lips he let the warm liquid slip down his throat.

After a few minutes his eyes grew heavy as he was lowered onto the hospital bed. Sleep soon overtook the blonde as the woman who made it her business to keep everyone healthy tucked him in under the warm blankets.



"He needs to sleep now, tell Dumbledore he will be staying the night. This boy has been through a lot right now." Poppy said clicking her tongue softly at the potion master as he left the hospital ward.

Draco slept in a dreamless state as the moonlight bathed the bed he slept in with a silver glow that made his blonde hair look silver, his skin looked even paler as he shifted in his sleep.

--
By the next afternoon Madam Pomfrey had taken care of many students before the young blonde sleeping behind the curtains finally woke up. Sitting up he looked around the get his bearings when the events of the night before struck him like a bludger to the chest.

Getting up from the bed he walked past the curtains and down the row of beds ignoring the matron trying to pull him back to his bed.

Leaving the hospital wing, Draco could feel the stillness in the air of the castle. The sunlight was filtered by heavy clouds that held the rain. The blonde was a zombie walking only where his feet would take him. Blinking the forming tears out of his eyes Draco looked around and found that he was near the headmasters office once again, deciding not to linger anymore he took off down the hall quickly tears once again blinding his eyes as he crashed into two people he wished he didn't run into.

Looking up he locked eyes with Harry's two best friends. Swallowing hard to try and loosen his vocal cords he tried to speak.

"I bet you had a real laugh with your father and the rest of his friends after you watched Harry suffer" Ron spat out in anger. The pain was written all over his face but he was having trouble expressing it.

Draco curled his hand into a fist and let it fly into the red head's face with a sickening crunch signaling the fact that Ron's nose was broken.

"You have no idea what I've felt or been through, I just want to be alone" the blonde wept as he fell to his knees.

Hermione gasped and went over to the blonde at put her arms around him to comfort him.
"Herbione… he dust punched be" Ron said trying to talk through his bloody broken nose.

The smartest member of the Gryffindor trio looked at her friend "Ron be quite, Draco's in a lot of pain right now… more than you know." Hermione said as she rocked the blonde slowly back and forth.

"You loved him didn't you Draco? You were his secret admirer." Hermione said softly rubbing the blonde's back.



Draco opened his mouth to speak when he heard a familiar voice coming up the hall. Pulling away quickly and stood up to hide the fact he had been crying.

Dumbledore walked up the hall with a small group of wizards many current or former professors of Hogwarts; they stopped before the group and smiled softly.

"Mr. Weasley, you should go to the hospital to have that nose looked at. After that you should go outside. You two know that Harry wouldn't want you to mope around the castle and mourn him like this." The headmaster said as he looked at the three before him before walking past and heading to the staircase behind the large stone gargoyle.

Ron grumbled something as he went off to the hospital wing to have his nose take care of.

Hermione looked at the blonde.

"Are you going to be okay Draco?" she asked softly

The blonde nodded his head "As fine as I can be" he whispered as Hermione followed after Ron to make sure he made it to the hospital wing in one piece.

Draco stood in the empty hall and sighed softly, as he was about to walk off he turned around quickly and looked around the hall. A few particles of dust floated by the window slowly moving from one side of the hall to the other as Draco stood there.

Breathing heavy Draco could have sworn that someone was standing right behind him. Looking down the hall once more Draco headed for the stairs and slowly made his way to find another place to be all alone.

I'm losing my mind…there was no one there. Draco thought as he sighed once more.

Going up to the astronomy tower Draco let the cold air brush his hair off his face as he sat down and leaned against the cold stone wall. Something about being up there all alone made the pain in his heart fly away and join the birds in the sky.

"Why couldn't I tell you how I felt before leaving?" Draco asked himself softly. "You must have died thinking I didn't feel the same. With a deep rumble the clouds above split open and the rain started to come down.

Draco ignored his body telling him to go inside out of the rain. As another rumble of thunder passed Draco got to his feet. "I love Harry Potter!" he yelled at the top of his lungs as it was dulled by the deafening thunder.

The rain was coming down in icy buckets as it pelted the castle's stone walls and the lone occupant standing on the tallest tower.
