Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter, Adele or the world of Witchcraft and Wizardry. A/N - Me again sorry, also, I'm sorry for my use of letters, I just find them easier to write than dialogue because I do have a certain dislike for dialogue even though previous chapters have been jam packed with the thing, I'll let you read now, thank you, feel free to review I've only had three and two of them are the same one. I m really sorry for the distance between updates but I completely forgot about it. Draco hated himself, he d just left everyone he considered loved ones to bask in his own insanity. He knew that they knew exactly where he was but he'd left without warning, an hour before his arrival at his cottage, his secret place that only his mother and his boyfriend knew about he was wrapped in Harry's arms while the dark haired boy had slept, Harry wasn't the easiest person to wake but that was surely a good thing or so Draco thought anyway. It gave him time to slip away while nobody was keeping an eye on him. "I left without leaving a note, what if they think I've run away and they contact the newspapers and report me missing." he thought to himself. He could see it now, MALFOY MISSING!" it was debatable as to whether it'd be about him, what if his father had escaped Azkaban, it wouldn't be impossible would it.
"If she'd just keep her nose out and stop sending hate mail I wouldn't be here, I'd still be in Harry's arms fast asleep." Draco scowled at the thought of Ginny, he didn't hate her like she hated him, he merely disliked her for the things she'd said in the letter, and he had no reason to hate her. He understood why she hated him though, he'd got Harry and she'd lost him, sure it wasn't at a great time but surely she should be mourning Fred, Draco did admit to feeling guilty about stealing Harry but it wasn't like he'd just swooped in and taken him, it was his choice and when he ended her it could have gone the complete opposite way and he could have chosen her over me. "I'll write to Harry to let him know I'm okay."
Harry,
I just thought I'd let you know I was okay, I know I left without warning but I needed some space, I'm sorry. You know where I am so I suppose that's okay, I just needed to let you know how much I love you, I'm never good with words, especially when I speak but I can write letters, is that a trait you look for in people, letter writing skills? I joke, but honestly you are the best thing that's happened to me in the history of Draco Lucius Malfoy. You've been on my mind since we arrived back at Malfoy manor, and seriously I grow fonder each day, the way you screw your face up when you sleep is the cutest thing and being in your arms while I sleep is the best feeling in the world. When you look into my eyes and I see right into your heart I'm lost for words and I can barely breath, you're one of the nicest, if not the nicest person and you're so forgiving, hell you're sleeping in the same bed as me, can you imagine the faces on our 11 year old selves if we told them we'd be a couple when we grew up. I don't know why I'm scared, you've reassured me so many times that I'm the only one that you want but I just need to know that you want me to be your one and only, you'll never know unless you try to forget your past and simply be mine, and I'm not being pushy or trying to get Ginny out of the picture but I just wish you'd tell when you write to her so I can expect hate mail and howlers through the window each morning. Nobody's perfect but I want to be the best person I can for you, I never want to give you a reason to leave. I love you Harry James Potter, with all my heart.
Draco
Rolling up the parchment and tying it with a piece of string that was on the desk where he'd been sat for hours, alone in silence. "What's that?" Draco almost jumped out of his skin when the voice broke the silence. Turning round he saw the face of his lover just standing there with just a t-shirt and joggers, "I woke up and you'd gone, I knew you'd be here but I just needed to make sure." The corners of Draco's lips rose, suddenly he felt considerably safer and the fact his boyfriend was stood there reassured him that everything was okay and Ginny wasn't going to break them up. "I wrote you a letter, I was about to send it when you turned up, I suppose there's no need for it now." He went to place it in the draw where he's first taken the parchment out but Harry stopped him "Can I read it?" Draco hadn't thought about letting him read it, he felt stupid now after admitting those things in the letter. If Harry read it he'd laugh and then Draco would either lose his temper or cry, he couldn't quite make up his mind as to how it'd end. Slowly Harry slid the rolled parchment from between Draco's fingers, unrolling the letter he began to read in silence.
Draco sat there for what felt like a lifetime but in reality it was only a matter of minutes, the silence had contributed to the dragging of time but so many thoughts were flying round underneath the blonde head of hair that he didn't know what was happening and what he was imagining. Finally Harry lifted his head and looked into his boyfriend's eyes "You know I'll never leave you, don't you, no matter what happens I'm here." Draco stood and placed his hands on either side of his boyfriend's face, "There's nothing that will scare me off Draco, not Ginny, not the press. Okay maybe you're father but he'd have to escape Azkaban first." Draco lowered his gaze from Harry's eyes to his lips before moving closer and kissing his boyfriend. "I love you Harry James Potter."
