Like usual, Draco tore the door in front of him open with a slam. He was just wearing pants and his chest was bare. Not caring to wear any slippers, he quickly made his way to the library.

As he arrived, he opened the door carefully; as if he was afraid of not finding what he was looking for.

He sighed in relief when he saw the one he was looking for sitting on the couch, his back to him because of the way the couch was placed

Even though Draco had told Harry that he couldn't run from him, and even though Draco always managed to find him, he couldn't help but feel scared. He can't lose Harry. He simply died if Harry ever leave his side.

Slowly he approached Harry who seemed not to even realize that Draco was behind him.

Draco looked at Harry's figure. He seemed to be deep in thought. He followed Harry's gaze and his heart clenched as he saw what Harry had been looking at.

The empty bird cage.

Emerald green eyes widened with fear as he saw Draco tore Hedwig's wings.

He opened his mouth, trying to scream but no sound came out.

"This is what happens to you if you ever try to run away from me again." Draco told him. There was only coldness in his eyes. The usual warm gaze he had always looked at Harry with was gone.

Harry's body trembled with fear as Draco threw Hedwig's lifeless body to the floor beside him.

He glanced at Harry before he got out from the room without saying a word.

Shaking, Harry reached out a hand to Hedwig, his face full with tears. He cradled the bloodied body to his chest.

Harry's body racking with sobs. His friend is death. And it was because of Harry. Because he had tried to run away from Draco.

Draco silently walked and stopped in front of Harry. He kneeled and cupped Harry's chin, forcing him to look at him.

Harry stared at him with blank face. They just stared at each other before Draco closed the distance and sealed their mouths with a gentle kiss.

Draco broke the kiss and rested his forehead on Harry's.

For a while, they just stayed like that in silence.

"Do you want another bird?" Draco asked, breaking the silence.

Harry locked their eyes together before he turned his head.

"…No…"

Draco furrowed his eyebrows "Why?"

Harry looked him in the eye, his face hard "Why do I need another one? So you can kill it again?"

Draco winced at Harry's harsh words, "Harry… you know I didn't mean to…"

"You killed her." Harry cut him off.

"You killed her like you killed Leonard"

Draco's face immediately became furious as he heard that name came out from Harry's lips.

He stood up and grab Harry's arms, bringing him to stand up with him.

"DON'T YOU EVER SAY THAT NAME AGAIN!"

Harry didn't even flinch as Draco screamed at him. He knew he shouldn't have brought the past. Knowing how much hatred Draco felt towards his cousin, Leonard.

Harry just closed his eyes, waiting to be hit. Seeing this, Draco loosened his grip and held Harry close.

"Please…"

Draco tightened his hold "Just, don't… Never mention him again…"

Harry still kept silent in Draco's embrace when someone knocked on the library's door.

Without waiting an answer, Sebastian walked in with a tray that held their breakfast.

"Master Draco, Harry, I have brought your breakfast." He told them. Draco let Harry go and shook his head at Sebastian.

"I'm not hungry. I'm going to go to work." He kissed Harry lightly and walked out of the room.

Sebastian looked at Harry with question in his eyes. Harry just kept his eyes on the floor, avoiding the butler's questioning gaze.

Draco sat slumped in the back seat of his car. He had a meeting with the Diggory's.

"You killed her like you killed Leonard"

Harry's words rang in his head over and over. He rubbed the bridge of his nose

Why did Harry have to mention that bastard's name?
