Chapter 5: Harry's Reaction
Authors Note: Thank you all who reviewed the last chapter. I'm so glad that you all liked it so much. I want to apologize though for not using quotation marks though during Harry and Draco's conversation. I'm sorry it was too hard to read. See I didn't know that I was supposed to use them to make it easier so this time I promise it will be a lot better.
Harry sat there shell shocked. He had no idea as to what to do or how to even responded to what Draco had just confessed. How ever Harry knew he had to because Draco was waiting impatiently for a response from Harry. Harry finally gathering his wits the best he could began with his own response. "I don't even know how I'm supposed to react to this. Draco looked at Harry like he had two heads. "You know Harry you really might want to say something now so than that way we could be together all ready.
Shocked by Draco's response Harry just lashed out instead. "Listen Draco you have no right to come in to my home and tell me all these things and then expect me just to have an immediate answer for you." Draco looked dumbfounded. That was certainly not the response he was hoping for. Draco though didn't say anything he just continued to look at Harry like a fish out of water.
"How do I even know that this isn't some ploy to make me tell you that I love you to and then you through it in my face and mock me with it just like you always did"! Harry said. "Harry you should know that I wouldn't travel half way across the country to find anyone let alone you if I didn't love you, and second of all I fought side by side with you during the war so that should prove something.
Harry wanted to tell Draco that he loved him to but years of fear were not letting him. Harry could see the hurt in Dracos eyes and wished so badly that he could put his fears aside he just didn't know how to. So many years of losing loved one's did that to a person. Draco immediately knew what Harry was thinking and had his own response before Harry could even voice anymore of this garbage that just kept spewing out of his mouth.
"Harry I know that your afraid I can see it in your eyes and I don't pretend to know why but I also see that you feel the same way as I do so. I can help you get over your fear if you just let me in. Harry please I need you so much I can't keep living without you anymore". By this time both Harry and Draco had tears in there eyes by the end of Dracos speech. Something in Harry snapped at that and he looked at Draco as if seeing him for the exact first time and finally he knew that Draco wouldn't leave him and he knew that he could be loved but he wasn't ready to completely let Draco in just yet. They had a lot to work through first. Manly Harry had a lot to work through emotional before he could completely love anyone.
"Draco I'm willing to try but I want to go slowly before I completely give you my heart. Can you do that for me"?
