He wraps his tragic moments tightly around his neck
Then he hangs himself with them as I try to disconnect
Cuz he wants to choke on his life again
Breathing it in like a deadly poison.
Harry was clearly drowning in his pain and nobody noticed because nobody could be bothered to care. He looked up from the meal that he was never going to eat and saw a pair of silver eyes staring back into his own. Harry was puzzled – why was Draco Malfoy staring at him?
Draco understood his pain more than he would ever know. He had been through the same thing of course he could never tell Harry what he knew. But maybe he should – maybe they could save each other. After all they weren’t that different because they had both loved and lost and they had never told anyone – they had just drowned in their pain, screaming silently for someone, anyone, to notice.
Draco saw tears forming in the boy’s eyes. Maybe he was remembering his lost lover. Draco remembered the funeral he had been there under his invisibility cloak offering silent support because his one love had also just been killed. All because they found out that Theo was gay.
He cries cause he's lost and he doesn't even know what he wants
His eyes grow cold and he begs the world to just let him go
Draco wanted to let go of his new obsession, he wanted to stop thinking about saving Harry because it brought back so many painful memories but so many happy ones to.
***Flashback***
“Aco?”
“ ‘Dore?” The smaller blond boy reached over the back of the sofa and pulled his Theo to him nuzzling his neck and kissing the sensitive spot just below his ear. He then pulled him onto his lap thinking how lucky they were the entire Slytherin house had gone home for Christmas apart from them giving them some rare alone time.
“I’ve got something to tell you.”
“Go ahead.”
“IloveyouverymuchandImgladyourmyboyfriend.”
“Pardon?”
“I said, I love you Draco and I am glad that I am your boyfriend.”
“I love you too Theo,” and Draco leaned in and kissed him feeling happier than ever. He had never thought he would find someone who understood him more than he did himself. Besides, it was a rare moment of affection as normally Draco was trained to mask all emotions, like a good little Malfoy should.
***End Flashback***
Maybe that’s why Draco didn’t want to give up on helping Harry – he had known love like Harry and he had lost it so suddenly when all of the Slytherins found out about Theo’s sexuality – racist bastards.
(But I won't let go)
Harry watched Draco and he couldn’t help but think that he knew something about Harry and how he really felt, which was actually numb ever since he had lost Cedric in his fourth year he had never felt truly happy. None of his friends knew he was gay but he thought that perhaps Draco knew.
Later that night Harry was siiting in his dormitory when an owl flew up to his window. It had a letter from Draco Malfoy.
Harry,
I know this sounds wierd but I think we can help each other. I know what you have lost and I want you to know that I was at the funeral. I knew about you and Cedric, I caught you two sneaking around one night but I never said anything. I have loved and lost just like you and I can see you are breaking and that this world is tearing you apart. If you want to give me a chance please meet me in the Room of Requirement at midnight tonight.
Yours,
Draco Malfoy
He lives and breathes in a world that brought him to his knees
And now I'm addicted to him cuz that guy is just like me
Draco was sitting in the Room of Requirement waiting on Harry at about ten past 12 the door opened and then closed. Draco blinked and standing in the middle of the room was Harry. He had come even though he himself didn’t know why.
“Harry, I see you got my note.”
“Yes and now I’m confused.”
“Naturally, but do you remember Theodore Nott?”
Harry nodded. He remembered that only about three people in Slytherin had been genuinely upset about his tragic accident, when he fell off the Astronomy Tower and he had unfortunately lost his life. HE may have been a Slytherin but Harry had noticed that Theo didn't seem to be predjudiced and he took care with everything that he did. He wasn't your stereotypical Slytherin. "Yes I do remember him but I still don't understand."
“Well he was my boyfriend for over a year until he was beaten to death by my housemates for his sexuality. Of course everyone thinks he got drunk and fell off the Astronomy Tower but he would never do that, he didn't even drink, I don't even know why I'm telling you this. But I think you understand more than you let on. I have never been happy since and that is why I understand your pain. Nobody else ever knew and Theo kept our relationship secret up until the minute he died.”
Draco could feel tears stinging the back of his eyes as he spoke. It truly hurt him to think about his love and now it was worse because he was actually talking about him. A tear gently slid down his check. Draco was then shocked by what happened next.
And I'm gonna choke on his life again
I'm breathing it in like a deadly poison.
I just want to get through to him,
Before his last breath.
Harry walked over to Draco and hugged him and even more surprisingly Draco hugged him back. They pulled away from each other.
“Draco, do you ever wish you could go back? Do you ever wish you could see him one last time, tell him how much you love him?”
The tears were flowing freely now as both boys pondered this question.
“Yes Harry. Everyday, I wish that they hadn’t killed him coz he was worth more than all of them put together. He was the complete antithesis of a Slytherin, he was kind and caring and the most loving person I knew. He was the only one who has ever loved me for me, not even my parents have been able to do that. Just coz I don’t wanna join the Dark Lord.”
“Draco, I think I could love you for you.”
He cries cause he's lost and he doesn't even know what he wants
His eyes grow cold and he begs the world to just let him go
He cries cause he's lost and he doesn't even know what he wants
And he hides all alone inside the pain that he wont let go
Both boys leaned in to each other and kissed like their lives depended on it, which in a way they did. They didn’t need to watch their lives fly past in a blur they could truly be happy if they loved each other.
Watching his life pass him by, watching it all through his watering eyes
Draco smirked his trademark smirk and realised that writing that letter to Harry was the best idea in the end because they weren’t alone anymore, they had each other. They had saved each other. They would always be there to catch each other when they fell.
But I'll be chasing dragonflies from his darkest skies until the day he dies.
