It was oh so wrong for them to be together. Harry was the Golden Boy, the poster-boy for the Light, the sun who emitted nothing but light, and Draco – Draco was Dark, the Death Eater, black as night.
They said that their relationship stifled Harry, stopped him from glowing so brightly, from distributing his light to all his worshipful followers. They said that their relationship was disgusting, because the Light and the Dark should never meet.
And the abuse that was hurled at him, the insults, all affected Draco. Because Harry Potter was the sun, and if he stopped him from shining, what was left behind?
And it was Harry who reassured – he didn't like thinking of it as comforted – him. They're wrong, he said. You're the one who makes me who I am.
The people of the world – they could never hope to understand Harry and Draco, understand their relationship.
Because Harry Potter may have been the sun, but it was Draco Malfoy who kept him shining.
