Draco walks through the door to the top of the Astronomy tower an air of confidence surrounding him hiding the confusion going through his mind. Harry Potter invited him up here this night, claiming to have something important to tell him. Looking around Draco spots the small boy looking out to the forbidden forest obviously nervous about the meeting.

"Potter, what do you want?" Draco asks sneering as the boy turns around blushing lightly causing Draco to raise an eyebrow.

"Dra.. er, Malfoy." Harry starts almost calling Draco by his first name intriguing the Malfoy heir, "I just wanted to, er, well that is to say." Harry struggles to say what he wants walking towards Draco who moves opposite him slowly being guided to the lowest part of the wall without his notice.

"Just get on with it Potter, we both have classes in the morning." The back of Draco's knees hit the top edge and Harry gets up close blushing harder now.

"I just wanted to let you know," Harry whispers into Draco's ear his hand lightly on Draco's chest, the heir now blushing himself, "That I've always hated you." And with that Harry pushes Draco off the side of the tower with the Heir barely having a chance to acknowledge what Harry just said before he starts screaming loud enough to wake the entire castle, minus Ron.

Quickly running down the stairs under the invisibility cloak Harry heads to the base of the tower from the direction of the Owlery Ending up getting there last which was just fine for him. Shoving the cloak into his pocket Harry pushes to the front of the crowd looking at Dumbledore first out of breath, "I came as fast as I can, what happened?"

"It seems Young Malfoy fell from the top of the tower, he died the moment he hit the ground." Dumbledore states sadly, "I'm afraid I must go alert his parents, they'll want to know what happened as soon as possible."

Later at the funeral everybody let the Malfoy's know that they feel for their loss as well as Harry seeing as the two were rivals. As Harry leaves for his dorm he smiles widely only when no one sees him.
