Author's Note: I've always hated those authors that never updated... And I've become one of them! I'm really sorry, but school is just... not fun. So, sorry for the REALLY long wait. Hopefully this chapter makes up for it?

"Harry? Sorry to just show up like this... but I was wondering if I could spend the night here? Blaise and I had a fight..."

I must look like an idiot - with my eyes wide open and my mouth agape. I could only muster a quick nod and allow you entrance from the floo. A few moments later, you walk through the fireplace, shaking your gorgeous blonde hair to get rid of any leftover ash. Even such a simple movement was done so gracefully by you. Unfortunately, the image was ruined by your tear-streaked face. Your mesmerizing silver-gray eyes were filled to the brim with tears and I reached out to touch you. I thought you would recoil from the touch, but you actually leaned into me! Me, Harry Potter; your Auror partner; NOT your boyfriend.

You try not to let your emotions show, but your silent gasps are enough to cause my heart to break a little. I slowly turn my touch into a full-out hug, hoping to comfort you only a bit. Our position is kinda awkward, with you being taller and all. You are bending over resting your head on my shoulder while crystalline tears fall. I am simply hugging you, patting you on the back, trying to comfort you.

"Dray... What's wrong? You don't normally get this upset over a fight..."

"I'm not upset." Just like him to deny his feelings even when they're so obvious. I gently run my fingers through his hair, hoping to calm him down. Maybe if you remembered our relationship, you'd stop crying and just kiss me! Maybe you'd realize how STUPID Blaise is and decide to be with me!

But I can't voice my opinions because that would hurt you. And you're already so hurt, I can't bear it anymore.

"Dray..."

"DON'T call me that! That's what Blaise calls me, and you're not him!" He pulls out of my grasp and glares at me menacingly. Those actions stung me to no end and I feel ready to cry. I don't say anything because I might break down myself if I do.

I think you noticed my discomfort, and so your eyes relaxed. Your body was no longer tensed and you could only silently mumble, "I'm sorry... I shouldn't be taking this out on you. It's just... Blaise broke up with me."

And just like that, all my depressing thoughts vanished. I wanted so badly to smile and hug you with passion, but that would only push you away further. I try to keep my emotions in check and huge you again. I know that no matter what I do, you don't see me that way, so I have to stay your friend, if nothing else. Even if that means giving you to somewhere else.

"I'm sure he doesn't know what he's doing. You should go talk with hi--"

"He's getting married. To Pansy. I'm not going to talk with him." I was floored. Weren't they madly in love?

"Apparently, he knew about this since the start of our relationship, but didn't want to give up on, and I quote 'such a good lay'. What an asshole. And I'm sorry, that's why I didn't want you calling me Dray... it makes me want to beat you up."

"I'm going to kill him. I don't care what you say. I'm going to kill him." Before I even walked one foot away, Draco was grabbing onto my robes.

"Please don't. Don't waste your time on him, like I did. Just... stay here and comfort me. Please?" I know that must've taken a lot for him to say, and I was honored that he said it to me. Actually, I'm just honored that he came to ME for comfort, and not another one of his Slytherin cronies.

"Can I just stay here with you?"

And I suddenly found our roles reversed from all those years ago. But I know that this time, no one would be left feeling hopeless.

"Of course."

Yeah, so it's finally gonna get happier here on out :) I might not update for a while, so hopefully this has the feeling of an end. There'll most likely be one more chapter though.
