Chapter ten:

"C'mon mate, you've got to go to classes today" Ron said standing over Harry. Harry rolled over, groaning softly. Harry reached up and rubbed his eyes then adjusted his glasses onto his face.

"Yeah I suppose I should" Harry said the same gloom in his voice. It had been three weeks since they had come back and Harry hadn't been to classes since. He had fallen quite depressed and he couldn't force himself to even go down to meals. He had been living off Ron's leftovers. He continued to lie there and, stared out the window. He heard Ron leave and he heaved a sigh.

"Harry James Potter get up right now!" He heard someone enter the dormitory and they quickly ripped the blankets from Harry's grip, "I have no idea what is wrong with you but you cant go on like this. I tried being nice Harry, you know I did. But you have got to get up! I haven't seen you out of this bed in weeks! You smell awful, go shower" Harry stared at Hermione as she began rummaging through his trunk.

"C'mon! Up!" She said placing her hand on her hip. Ron was behind her, a huge grin on his face. Harry almost smiled as he mocked her movements. He did as Hermione said almost afraid of the outcome if he didn't.

The shower felt good. As he dried himself off he thought of the night before they came back. He pressed his fingers to the scar above his collarbone. Then to the one on his head. He couldn't decide which one he hated more.

Draco pushed past Crabbe and down the dormitory steps. He hadn't seen Harry in weeks; he had heard Granger talking to Ron about her plan to get him out of Gryffindor tower.

"Draco what're you in such a rush for? It's just pancakes an-"

"Shut up, god you're so stupid" He missed having intelligent conversations. He quickly took his normal seat by Pansy and watched the door like a hawk. His heart was beating through the room; he held his hand over his chest trying to muffle the sound from himself. Then he saw him. The messy dark hair. His green eyes. The way his jaw looked when he turned a certain way.

"Ha Draco look who it is" Pansy nudged him. Draco tried to smirk but he knew his mouth was hanging open dumbly.

"You look surprised; he's gone to this school for years" She rolled her eyes as she picked the roll she was mutilating.

Draco didn't reply, he could see the huge bags under Harry's eyes. His tiredness showed as his shoulders slumped foreword and his body sunk into the chair.

Draco stood up quickly. He felt like running up to him, holding him, and kissing him. He felt like announcing his love.

"Draco where are you going?" Goyle asked his mouth full of food.

"No where. I thought I saw someone" He said sitting back down again.

Harry unfolded the note for the third time.

Meet me by the black lake tonight. Midnight. I'll wait.

Draco

The invisibility cloak wrapped around his shoulders, his wand clutched tight, he walked out into the cold night. He saw the warm smoke coming from Hagrid's hut. He hurried across the cold grass to the lake. He saw the familiar figure standing there, rubbing his hands together, his breath showing in the air.

Harry approached him very slowly, then pulled the cloak off and tucked it into his jacket.

"Harry...hi" Draco smiled and glanced around. Harry didn't dare look him in the eye.

"Where have you been? Are you sick?" He asked softly.

"You could say that" Harry sat down on a rock careful not to get too close.

"Oh I'm sorry..."

They sat in silence for awhile.

"Look I'm sorry--" they both started then grinned. Harry stood up bravely and embraced Draco. Draco's hands found Harry's hipbones quickly.

"I missed you" Harry said leaning his head towards Draco's.

"I missed you too" Draco whispered as their foreheads touched. They stayed like that for a long time. Just breathing each other in.

"We can't do this Harry..." Draco said after awhile.

"I know..."

"I love you Harry Potter..." Draco said against Harry's neck, laying his lips over the scar and kissing his marking.

"I love you too" Harry allowed the tears to stream freely. Draco leaned down and kissed Harry's lips softly. Their tears mixed as they pushed their lips harder together.

Finally the kiss broke and, Draco was the one to watch Harry leave this time.

Harry sat down next to Ron. Snape soon came strolling in barking commands and watching Harry closely. He tried to keep his eyes from wandering to Draco's like they seemed to do.

"Harry?" Hermione lay her hand over top of his.

"Oh, what--sorry?" He ran his hands over the teeth marks on his neck.

"Are you going to work with Ronald and I or not?" She asked, pity in her eyes.

Harry nodded and moved himself to another table with them.

" Oh look it's Potter, Mud blood AND weasel..." Harry's heart stopped as he heard a familiar drawl behind him and he turned to see Draco, Crabbe and Goyle.

"Oh shove off Malfoy" Ron said holding Harry by the shoulders as if to calm him down.

Harry could have sworn he saw Malfoy flinch from Ron's touch.

Malfoy and Harry's eyes caught as if on cue and they both grinned at each other for a brief moment.

"He's such a bloody git" Ron rambled on.

" Yeah...Draco Malfoy...He's..." Harry didn't finish his sentence, just listened to his best friends go on about his worst enemy, his heartbreak, his lover.
