Harry felt his heart tore into pieces as he watched the one man that he would ever love walk away from him. Dignity held Draco's chin up, but did nothing to stop the tears from flowing through his liquid eyes.
Ginny chuckled coldly at the departing figure, "It's such a shame that you were too nice to Malfoy love, he actually thought that something could happen. Now come on, this will give us just the attention I deserve."
Harry felt himself being pulled away by the redhead as Draco turned around. For a second, there was hope in his eyes, but when he saw a silent Harry being drawn away, the blonde realised that maybe this time, he was too late. The crowd gathered around Harry and Ginny, flashing their cameras and demanding answers.
"Did you have any past relationship with the ex Death Eater Mr Potter?"
"Miss Weasley, what did you think of Mr Malfoy's speech?"
"I think that it was just...amusing," Ginny said haughtily, "Me and Harry definitely thought that Malfoy just humiliated himself for absolutely no reason at all."
"Can Mr Potter confirm this accusation?"
"There's no need for that, that's what I think. And he agrees, no questions asked."
'One day, when the word is burnt to ashes, when the people are crying for the ones they loved, when the dead filled the streets and the cries of the dying fill the air, it will not matter to me, because that if how I feel everyday when I'm not with you...'Draco's haunting words kept replaying over and over again in his head. He wanted nothing more than to stop the blonde and yell out to the world how he felt the same way. He had a speech prepared, but now, his hands were sweating, his knees were shaking, his breaths came out short and ragged and he had no idea what to say.
'Coward', he told himself, 'you were a Gryffindor – where dwell the brave at heart? Where is that bravery, that courage? Wait, scratch that; you don't need bravery or courage because you just need Draco. He was correct in all ways possible, don't you dare deny that.'
'I wasn't going to', the other part of him said, 'It's just ... the paparazzi...'
'Oh boo hoo, a couple of cameras'; his first half argued back, 'paparazzi, shmarsharazzi; all you know is that Draco is leaving and you're letting him. Screw the speech!'
'Right, got it'
'...honestly!'
Harry turned to see Draco lingering in the back of the crowds, watching with a sad smile on his face as his beloved stared intently. No, he had to do this. Taking a deep breath, he put one foot in front of the other; for Harry, it's all about the next couple of minutes. As he walked, the crowds parted in awe and confusion.
"Harry? Harry where do you think you're going?" He turned at the sound of Ginerva's shrill. Oh, how she sounded like her mother at times.
"Where do you think I'm going?"
"Certainly not where you are meant to be going; Get back here this instant!"
'Am I really going to let this cow push me around for the rest of my life?' Harry asked himself, 'because if that's the fate I'm destined for, I might as well kill myself right now'
'Yeah, as if I would allow myself to be Ginny's bitch', his other side replied angrily and sarcastically, 'Look, I know what I'm doing; no need for the pep talk seeing as we're the same person'
'You're just the stubborn side, now hurry up and say something'
"And who's going to make me? I'm going to where I belong, to Draco."
Ginny snarled, "You actually listened to his empty speech? Please Harry; have you seen anything more pathetic and dismal?"
"Yes I have actually. You,-"
'Oooh harsh', his first side said sarcastically
'Better than anything you'll come up with.' Came the retort
"...and the fact that you thought this was love. My heart belongs to Draco, and Draco only, so you can go whoring yourself to the tabloids now."
'How was that?' The first part asked smugly
'As much as it pains me to say it, and it does, it was ...brilliant.'
'Thank you.'
"What!" Ginny yelled, cameras flashed in her rage and disbelief, "What do you think you are doing Harry James Potter!?" Harry was walking away with his back turned to her. "What happened to you Harry?" she asked, "We used to have the perfect happily ever after-"
"No," he cut in, "That was your idea of a happily ever after. Only yours, so you can leave, because I'm not sacrificing mine." By now Harry had reached his destination, to his beloved, "Draco..."
"Harry..."
"No!" Someone shouted, "What is the matter with you mate?" Ronald Weasley pushed his way through the crowds, "Get out of my way!" he roared, until he reached Harry's side, "Get away from the ferret Harry!"
"No, this is where I belong Ron; you knew I was never meant to be with Ginerva. I love Draco, always have, and always will. My life is nothing without him." Harry wrapped his arms around the cautious blonde and closed his lips around the other. Draco kissed back with much enthusiasm, and let his cool tongue sweep across Harry's own plump red ones. Tongues fought for dominance and cameras flashed countless of times in a devoted, passionate French kiss. When they pulled apart, Harry stared into Draco's clouded eyes and only saw love in them.
"We are through Potter!" Ginny screamed and she ran, hiding her furious face from the paparazzi. Ron sighed, "Mate, I trust you know what you are doing. And Malfoy, if you ever hurt Harry, you have me to answer to."
"I can live with that," the blonde answered, he held his and Harry's foreheads close together.
"Someday, one day, Draco, the world will die, but that means nothing-"
"Because you're a sadist" a redhead muttered
"Weasley, shut up" Draco said, not taking his eyes off Harry
"It will mean nothing," Harry echoed, "because our love will live and never die. Soon, my Draco, our story will continue, about a time, place, and eternal love. I will love you until my dying day."
"Forever, Harry, forever I will love you."
"Forever, never leave me Dragon ... my Dragon."
"Never again"
