A/N Here is the next chapter. I hope you all like it. Well on with the story.

Chapter 7

Draco sat at one of the outside table at Florean Fortescue's Ice Cream Parlour. He was waiting for someone to show up. At lest Draco hoped he would show up.

It was only a few days before his godfather and Potter's wedding. Draco's last chance at getting Potter for himself.

In order to do that Draco had sent Potter a letter. It had said Draco wanted to start over. To start fresh and try to be friends. After all they would be seeing a lot of each other over the years to come.

Draco had been shock when Harry had wrote him back. Harry had agreed to meet with him so now Draco was waiting for Potter to show up.

Draco had only been waiting five minutes when Potter did show up. Draco could feel himself harden as Potter walk towards him. After all Potter had grown up to one hell of a looker. Who wouldn't get hard just seeing that body.

Draco also knew what he felt for the boy-who-lived was more then just lust. Draco was in love with him and was going to try his damnest to win him over. After all a Malfoy wasn't use to not getting what they wanted.

Once Potter sat down neither one said anything at first. Potter was watching Draco while Draco was trying to calm his body down. Potter finally decided to talk.

"Your letter said you want to start over and try to be friends. But I feel like there's more then just that. So spill."

Draco sat there for a moment before he took a deep breath. "I do want us to start and try to be friends. At lest on friendlier terms seeing as how you are marrying my godfather. We are going to be seeing a lot of each other but there is more.

See when I read about your engagement to Uncle Severus I just couldn't understand why. Why would Uncle Severus agree to marry you? After all everyone knows how he feels about you and your family. That's when it hit me.

He's only marrying you as the ultimate revenge against your father and godfather. Your tying yourself to a man who doesn't give two shits about you and sees this as the best way to get back at his school yard bullies." Draco said hoping Potter would see it from his point of view.

Potter sat there for a moment before his eyes narrowed at the blond Slytherin. "You should know your godfather better then that!" Potter all but hissed out.

"I do know him that well. That's why I'm saying something now." Draco said. The plea for Potter to see what Draco was saying was heavy in his words.

"Your godfather is many things but one of them is an honorable man." Harry said, defending his soon to be husband.

"He many not care a lot for me but he does have some respect for me. Enough not to marry me to get revenge against my godfather and dead father."

"Honorable? That's a Gryffindor trait not Slytherin. Slytherins are cunning and ambition sons of bitches. We look out for no one but ourselves. Most would sell out their own families if it would make them look good and they got something to gain from it. Everything that Uncle Severus is!" Draco said shock that Potter just didn't see it.

Harry sat there watching the blond. The anger in his eyes slowly was replaced with confusion as he kept watching.

"Why do you care so much anyways?" Harry finally asked.

Draco stiffens at the question. He didn't think Potter would ask that question. At lest not that soon into the conversation.

"Because I don't want to see my godfather in a loveless marriage." was Draco's rushed answer. It sounded fake to both of them.

"Let's try the truth this time." was all Harry said to him. He's eyes showing that he didn't believe the blond.

"It is the truth." Draco answers with his own glare.

"Maybe part of the truth." Harry simply said.

Draco didn't say anything at first. He just sat there watching Potter. "The reason I'm here doesn't matter." Draco finally said.

"I think it does." Harry said before he raised an eyebrow as a reason as to why Draco was saying all this hit him like a ton of bricks.

"The truth has to deal with me and not Severus. It more then him entering into a loveless marriage but me entering into one." Harry said with surprise in his voice.

Draco sat there with a glare on his face. "I haven't been talking about the weather." He hissed out.

"No. I mean the reason is me. You don't want me to marry anyone but you." Harry said with confusion in his voice. "But why? You hate me just like your godfather does. Maybe not as much but you still do. Or did."

Draco's eyes went wide with his own surprise that hid the fear that the truth was found out. He was scared of how Potter would react to the fact that Draco wanted to marry him and didn't hate him as much as he use to. Granted his true feelings were still a secret but who knew how long it would take for Potter figure that one out. If he ever did.

Draco then narrowed his eyes again. "Who said anything about me wanting to marry you?" He asked.

"No one but I did see the letter you sent Sirius. I saw what was written in it. There were only two things that stopped Sirius from promising me to you.

One, you're a Malfoy. I think Sirius hates your family just as much as he hates Severus. Maybe a bit more. Not sure.

Two, he had already agree to allow me and Severus to marry." Harry said as he lean on the table some.

Draco sat there for a moment before he closed his eyes and let out a sigh. Slowly opening them he explains himself.

"Alright it's true. I do want to marry you and I think….no I know I could make you happy. A lot more then Uncle Severus could.

But that's not the main reason I asked to meet with you. The main reason is what I've already said. Severus is only marrying to you to use you. Can't you see that?" Draco tries one last time to get Potter to see it his way.

Harry slowly shook his head as he stood up. "I'm sorry Malfoy but I just don't think Severus would do something so low." Harry said before he turned and walked away.

"But he would and is." Draco said softly to himself before he stood and walk away as well.

It was a few days later. Harry and Severus's wedding day. A day that should be a joyful one. And was for all but one person. Draco Malfoy.

Draco was there with his family and his soon to be bride, Pansy. He sat there as he watched the two say there vows and as Albus said the spell that would make them a married and bonded couple.

As he heard them say their vows to each other Draco could feel his heart break with each passing word. When the two kissed he felt it shatter and never be whole again.

It had hurt so much that Draco had to turn away from watching the two kiss. He then looked up when he felt a hand on his shoulder. It was Pansy.

Pansy was looking at him with understanding and sympathy but not pity. She knew that Draco would not want to be pity.

But Pansy knew where Draco was coming from because she felt the same way. She was in love with someone from Potter's own house. But she, like Draco, would never have her Gryffindor.

It was now later that night. Draco was putting the pictures he had taken during the wedding into his scrapbook.

As he was slowly running his fingers lovingly over Potter in one of the snapshots he knew what the newly wedded couple was doing. It sickens him to know this. To know what his godfather was doing with the man he loved but there was nothing he could do about it.

Snapping the book shut, he placed it under his bed before he reach over to the table by his bed. He uncooked the bottle of Dreamless Sleep Potion and took a small amount of it.

After putting it back on the table Draco lay down in his bed as he closed his eyes. He knew that without the potion he would have ended up dreaming about what his life could have been like with Potter. It would have been a dream that Draco would never want to wake up from.
