I Won't Give Up
AN: This is my first Drarry fic. The song used (I won't give up by Jason Mraz. No, I don't own it) has always came into my head as the perfect song for Draco and Harry, and the wording just appeared in my head one day. Anyway, usual disclaimers apply. Enjoy. :-)
Italics: Song lyrics
When I look into your eyes,
It's like watching the night sky,
Or a beautiful sunrise,
There's so much they hold.
Those eyes. Those emerald eyes. Everyone says they're your mother's eyes but they're not; they're yours. Emerald eyes that shrink when you're sad or embarrassed. Eyes that blaze when you're angry or passionate. Eyes that hold so much love. Love for me.
And just like them old stars,
I see that you've come so far,
To be right where you are,
How old is your soul?
From the age of one you've had fame placed upon you. From eleven, you've been made to carry the weight of everyone's expectations and hopes. From last year, you've had the memory of Voldemort on your conscience. Yet here you are. After living with your insufferable relatives, after having to face all that publicity, you're still here, stronger than ever. Your soul might be older than you, but you've come so far. I'm proud of you.
I won't give up, on, us,
Even if the skies, get, rough,
I'm giving you all, my, love,
I'm still looking up.
No matter what they say. No matter what they do, I'll always love you.
And when you're needing your space,
To do some navigating,
I'll be here patiently waiting,
To see what you find.
The War had its effect on all of us, but none more than you. I understand that sometimes you just have to leave everything, everyone, and see them. Your parents, your godfather, Remus, Nymphadora. I understand that you have to escape to the quiet of Godric's Hollow, I really do. But know this. I'll always be here for you when you come home. Me, Hermione, the Weasleys. We're all here for you.
See that the stars, they, burn,
Some even fall, to, the Earth,
We got a lot, to, learn,
But God knows we're worth it.
No, I won't give up…
This is all still new. We're still getting to know each other. But learning about you, makes me love you more every day.
I don't wanna be someone
Who walks away so easily,
I'm here to stay and make the difference that I can make.
I know she abandoned you. The Weaslette. When you told her you were gay, when you fell in love with me. I know she turned her back on you. Pushed you away. Please remember, I would never do that to you. I'm here to stay.
But in the end you're still my friend
At least we didn't tend for us to work,
We didn't break, we didn't burn,
We might not have seen eye to eye when we were younger, but the friendship we have now is stronger than it would have been back then. We didn't mean to fall in love, it just happened. If all this doesn't work, at least our friendship will still survive.
We had to learn,
How to mend,
Without the world,
Caving in,
And I had to learn,
What I got,
And what I'm not,
And who I am…
You now have to deal with living a normal life. I've had to come to terms with who I am, who I love, and what I've lost. No more luxury. No more Manor. No more money. I lost it all to the Ministry. You lost the excitement and fame. You lost the respect and love of the nation. But we both found each other. And I know we'll get through it together.
I won't give up, on, us,
Even if the skies, get, rough,
We got a lot, to, learn
And God knows we're worth it.
No, I won't give up…
I, Draco Lucius Malfoy, promise to always love you, Harry James Potter, and I will never, ever, give up on us.
AN2: So? How was it? Like it enough to review? Please, no flames.
