Harry was devastated when he heard the news - his dear friend Hagrid had passed away suddenly. As Head of Magical Creatures, Hagrid's giant blood had finally taken its toll on his large heart.
Harry attended the funeral, barely holding it together as Fang howled in the distance. That's when he saw him - Draco Malfoy, stoic as ever, standing apart from the other mourners. Their eyes met, and Harry was surprised to see emotion in Draco's steely gaze.
After the burial, Harry followed Draco into the Forbidden Forest, needing someone to grieve with. Much to his shock, Draco broke down in his arms. "I'm sorry about Hagrid," Harry soothed, holding the former rival. Their eyes met again, this time with a spark.
In each other they found solace. A forbidden romance blossomed amidst the grief. Only in secret could they explore their growing feelings. But could their love survive in such a climate of loss and hostility?
