Harry's body jolted upward. His breathing came in gasps as his heart tried to come down from the shock. Adrenaline pulsed threw his veins like liquid fire, dizzying with its affects. His hands went up to clench in his hair. His palms glided down easily in the slippery pools of cold sweat from the nest they had made. He clenched his lids against the onslaught of images trying to impact his brain. He slipped silently from his blankets and made his way to the window. Frost covered the glass and tiny puffs of his air turned to fog. He opened the window and let the chill take him. The frostbite feeling upon his skin assured him he was alive. Only one word made it threw the chattering of his teeth.
"Draco..." It was whisper to deaf ears. Useless...
"Mate?" Ron's sleepy voice made Harry jump.
"Yes?" Harry asked turning around to face his red haired friend.
"Cold ain't it?" Ron asked gruffly, rolling over once more.
"Yeah... I was just about to go on a walk," Harry said deciding that's what he needed just then.
"Alright..." Ron answered groggily. Harry could tell he was almost out again. He exhaled before grabbing his fathers cloak just incase he ran into anyone. He doubted he would. Even Filch was asleep at this hour.
He let the portrait close behind him. He ignored The Fat Ladies protests and just kept on shuffling down the corridor. He knew his destination before it even computed in his mind. He climbed the winding staircase to the astronomy tower. His heart hurt, it ached, it felt as if it was coming apart in his very chest. His shadow cast across the room as he came up the final step.
The blonde who stood almost at one with the world hardly lifted his head. He knows he's there, there are no need for greetings, they are as pointless as dreams in his mind. The ebony haired boy came up behind him and gently touched railing. His fingers barley skimming the finished surface of the wood.
"Make
my heart a better place. Give me something I can believe. Don't tear
me down
You've opened the door now. Don't let it close Draco."
Harry begged feeling the hot tears run down his cold face. Draco felt
his heart give a tug.
"Harry, I can't be what you want me to. He chose me. If I fail him he'll kill my family," he whispered to the night. The stars dying in the distance listened to his words like a prayer.
"Oh why don't I ever learn. I've lost all my trust though I've surely tried to turn it around," Harry muttered darkly to himself.
"If I could change, for you I would," the blonde swore. "But I can't and with that something inside Harry snapped. He threw the invisibility cloak to the side and shoved Draco away from the railing. Draco looked at him in shock from the cold floor. His molten grey eyes wide with question. The tears in Harry's eyes flowed down his cheek without stop. Loud sobs broke from his throat and then Draco felt his heart stop.
Harry lifted himself over the railing one leg at a time. The winter wind whipped at his unkempt hair. He looked down at the sleeping world below and thought about what it would be like not to be a part of it.
"Harry..." Draco lifted himself slowly from the ground as if the slightest movement made by him would make his beloved brunette plummet to the ground below.
"I'm here on the edge again. I wish I could let it go. I know that I'm only one step away," he spoke softly threw his cries of pain.
"Harry, please." Draco pleaded threw hazed over eyes.
"I cant live like this anymore Draco. Every night I dream of what you do what your trying. If you stop trying you'll die and I can't live without you. What's the solution?" Harry cried.
"I need you to live Harry. I know it's selfish. So much is riding on you. But please be strong for me. Save me from my fear." Draco's hand rested atop Harry's causing a gasp to break from Harry's throat. He looked over his shoulder into the silver eyes of his lover, glowing in the night. He slowly, with much care turned around and gripped the banister with both hands.
"I love you." Draco said lifting Harry's cold hand and pressing a soft kiss to his wrist right atop his pulse point. "Please." A silver tear dripped from the dragons eye. In all the time Harry had known him, Draco had always been the strong one. And now he was breaking down. Breaking down for him. Harry closed his eyes once before lifting himself up and jumping over the guard rail. He was enveloped in frozen topped warmth and then dragged to the ground. Their bodies pushed tightly together. Draco's finger clutched at Harry's clothing, his hair anything they could weave themselves into. Harry pressed his face into the crook of Draco's neck sobbing softly.
When the night had calmed and the sun was just beginning to rise over the tops of the mountains lighting the snow dusted ground a flame with color Harry lifted his face from the warmth of Draco's neck, still reveling in the smell of his love. Their eyes locked, both bloodshot from tears but still beautiful in the others mind. Harry pressed himself closer to draco before taking the blondes hand from around him and bring it out in front of his face. He gently pushed the dark sleeve back. The dark foreboding image laid their as Harry knew it would. Draco tried to pull his arm away but harry held tight. He looked up into the blonde eyes before kissing the center of the mark. Draco's lips fell parted at the gesture. Harry then proceeded to wrap his arms back around him and leaning back into his neck so his lips were just at his ear and whispered.
"All my agony fades away. When you hold me in your embrace."
