Okay I'm not sure I did this part justice so just bare with me.
I'd like to thank Ibbet who enjoyed the last chapter and left me a very awesome review. You rock!! Also I'd like to thank anyone else who liked it and are dying to read this part.
Disclaimer: I do not own H.P. and the song belongs to Nickelback
Warning: mild fluff. Boy/boy. And mild swearing.
One more thing and we'll get on with it incase anyone wants to know the song in the last chapter is sung by Joy Enriquez. I forgot to tell you that.
Anyways Enjoy!!
This Time, This Place
Misused, Mistakes
Too long, too late
Who was I to make you wait?
I sat by your bad waiting for you to come back to me. Pomfrey said that she had fixed you up to the best of her ability now you just needed to wake up. I wish you would, Dray, because I have some things to say to you. I made a mistake, Dray and today's events with the Dark Lord made me realize it. I was stupid to split us up and I took too long to come back to you. I never should have made 'us' wait until the Dark Lord was dead. It wouldn't have mattered that we were far apart we still would have been together. I wouldn't have almost lost you in more ways then one. But your act of heroism proved to me that you still loved me. Now though I wonder if it's too late to apologize.
Just one chance
Just one breath
Just incase there's just one left
Cause you know, you know, you know
Now I'm waiting to see if I've lost you forever and for good. I have no doubt that you would've done the same thing you did today if we had been together, but I wonder if it would have ended sooner? Or if it would have been different? If Voldemort would've found out and used you as bait to lure me to him? I would've taken it, no questions asked. I'd do anything to save you, Draco, and you know it. So how can I save you now? I have no idea and that makes me feel really stupid.
I keep thinking that there's a chance you won't wake up. That each breath you take might be your last. It also doesn't help that Poppy told me that as she healed you, your body showed she found telltale signs of torture. Believe me if I could take it all back, you know I would. You know I would do anything for you, Dray and I wish I could tell you this and more.
That I love you
I have loved you all along
And I have missed you
Been far away for far too long
I keep dreaming you'll be with me
And you'll never go
Stop breathing if
I don't see you anymore
"I love you, Dray." I said quietly, running my hand through your platinum blond hair. You stirred and your eyes fluttered open. My heart stopped as I watched you take my hand in yours and those beautiful stormy gray eyes find mine. "Harry." I gave a cry of joy and jumped out of my chair to embrace you as my heart started beating properly again. You hugged me back as I said 'I love you' over and over again with tears streaming down my face. You whispered soothingly "I love you too, harry. Now stop crying I'm alright." I sniffled and replied "But I almost lost you, Dray. I couldn't handle it if I lost you." You scooted over and made room for me to lie down beside you.
While we laid there we talked about our long term separation, the final battle, and your torture. "It was mostly done by Voldemort when he was pissed. I thought I was a goner when he found out you where destroying his horcruxes." You said quietly, twirling my hair. "I'm sorry, love if I could take it all back you know I would." I said shaking with anger. How dare that sadistic bastard hurt my Dray! I dare anyone else to give it a try while I'm around. Because I'm not going that far away again at least not without you. I missed you too much and now that I have you back, I'm not giving you up. It would hurt too much.
On my knees I'll ask
Last chance for one last dance
Cause with you I'd withstand
All of hell to hold your hand
I'd give it all
I'd give for us
Give anything, but I won't give up
Cause you know,
You know, you know
I guess I fell asleep because the next thing I knew I was waking up to an empty bed. I almost started freaking out when Poppy came over to tell that she had dismissed you from her care and to go to the celebration feast. I swore a little as I ran down to the Great Hall.
I should be used to this for there had been many mornings when I woke up to find you gone before I was quite done with you. I suppose that's part of the sneaky little Slytherin you are. When I made it to the Great Hall, I found Ron and Hermione standing outside the doors, snogging. Well at least they can, I'm too damn busy trying to find you. If you want a decent snogging sometime tonight then you better appear like magic very soon.
Just as I was about to go in, Hermione unglued herself long enough to say, "He's outside down by the lake." I muttered a quick thanks and hastily left. I love you guys, but honestly we're in a huge castle, I'm sure there's a vacant alcove somewhere.
I ran outside to the spot by the lake where I knew you would be. And voila there you were sitting underneath our favorite tree. (Hey that rhymes!) You were staring across the lake toward the sunset. I leaned against the tree and said "Since I just went through Hell and back to be with you, I'd suggest not disappearing. You might miss out." You looked up startled and then you laughed. "On what, pray tell?"
I smiled. "On this." I pressed my lips to yours. It was gentle at first, but soon became heated as though months of separation had finally taken their toll on us both. When we finally broke apart, we both turned to stare out into the golden sun sinking behind tall gray mountains and the Forbidden Forest.
So far away
Been far away for far too long
But you know, you know, you know,
"I'm sorry." I said, breaking the peaceful silence. You looked at me, confused. "For what?" I grimaced. "For separating us."
You frowned. "Harry, love, if you hadn't things would've been worse. We might even be dead now if Voldemort had found out a lot earlier." I sighed. "I know, but you could've died today, Draco. Do you know how bad I would feel knowing the last I told you was 'that it's best that you don't love me anymore.'? Merlin, I felt like shite for saying that. Still do, actually." You smirked.
"Speaking of which, love, you need to tell me how." I blinked in confusion. "How?"
"How to not love you, for how can I not?" I paused, thinking over this good point. "I have no clue." I replied, tracing intricate patterns on your arms with my thumbs. The sun finally sank and you replied, "I'm glad. I don't think I want to stop loving you, but I do suggest not going away again, unless I go with you." You said that half jokingly, and half seriously I chuckled. " I promise, Dray." You smiled one of your rare, true smiles.
"Good then I forgive you for asking me to not love you." The stars came out one by one. It was truly a peaceful night.
I need to hear you say
That I love you
I have loved you all along
And I forgive you
For being far away for far too long
So keep breathing
Cause I'm not leaving you anymore
I leaned against you and smiled all the wider. "I love you, Dray." You leaned down and kissed my forehead. "I love you too, Harry." I closed my eyes. "Stay with me?" you smiled again.
"Always."
Believe it
Hold on to me and never let me go
Please tell me what you think and I might be persuaded to do one or two more!
Thanks!!
