Chapter Six

It was coming close to the start of term. I found this depressing as I knew Draco and I wouldn't be able to see each other during term time. It was on this thought I found myself sitting on my bed, dragging my razor slowly across my wrist. Suddenly Sirius walked in. I scrambled to cover my arms up. It was too late.

"WHAT THE FUCK HARRY!" Sirius screamed. "You're FIFTEEN. I've turn a blind eye to the drinking, smoking, drugs and sex but now you're self-harming too! Anything else you'd like to share while I'm here? Suicidal? Anorexic? Bipolar? OCD? Schizophrenia? ANYTHING I MISSED?"

(NOTE I don't have anything wrong with people with any of these conditions. In fact, I have a friend with a few, this is just for effectiveness)

Oh god... I thought. He was really freaking out now. Snape Lupin and Draco came running at the yelling. Draco sighed and shook his head and gave me a look as if to say 'I thought you were going to stop?' Snape frowned and sighed. Lupin just seemed in shock. Snape dragged me up to Madam Pomfrey to get some lecture on it and she gave me some stupid leaflet and threatened that if I did it again I would have to go see a therapist.

As soon as I was free I ran back to the dorm room, grabbed my fags and lighter and with a sympathetic look from Draco I ran to the Astronomy tower. Draco followed me there.

"Why?" he asked

"I dunno I just felt really depressed that school was away to start again and then we couldn't hang out, you'd get shit from the Slytherins, Ron and Hermione'd be all weird about it although they wouldn't say it too my face."

"You did it because you couldn't see ME once school starts again?" he asked, confused.

"I guess. I really like you ynno Draco." There I'd said it. I studied his face for his reaction. He was going to hate me wasn't he? He smiled.

"I really like you too Harry. And I don't care what the Slytherins think or Weaselby or the mudb... Granger" he corrected. "And neither should you. We're meant to be together Harry, no one can change that" he said reaching out to hold my hand.

I leaned over and rested my head on his shoulder. He smiled and looked down at me. I tilted my chin up to look at him. He leaned down and gently pressed his lips to mines. Sparks Flew. We kissed for ages, eventually we broke apart.

"We should go to dinner now" he said. He took my hand as we walked in, Sirius' mouth fell open, Lupin smiled and Snape smirked and muttered to Lupin "I told you so, now about that 10 galleons?"

I glared at him. He'd been betting on us getting together? Draco squeezed my hand and pulled me to the table.
