Ebony and Ivory (a Drarry fan fiction) [UNDER HEAVY EDITING]

Scared.

Draco POV

"Hey Draco?" Harry asked me with a worried look. We were on my couch and I was reading a book and Harry was playing with my hair. I'd stopped using gel for his sake because the smell was giving him asthma attacks and I gave it to some first year.

"Yeah?"

"What do you do when you...um..."

"Well, when you what?"

"When you...start feeling insecure again?"

I tensed up from the question. It was quite a while since...well since THAT incident.

~Flashback~

I ran all the way to the astronomy tower. I looked over the edge. It was a pretty long way down. I leaned on a metal pillar and weighed my options.

If I didn't jump, I would be forced to face those beings that didn't deserve to be called human. But then...I wouldn't be able to enjoy the little things.

But if I did...I'd be rid of all possible pain that I'd ever have to feel.

I guess...I'm jumping.

As I climbed up the railing, I was about to jump until...

"MALFOY!"

I almost fell off the railing if he hadn't caught me.

As I was brought back to the ground, I felt a body slam on me. And when it released, green met grey.

"What were you thinking?! Why did you even consider suicide? Do you know the effect it would have on the whole school?"

It wasn't until he finished that I felt a hot liquid roll down my porcelain cheek. At first, it was just one. But then one increased to two and two to four and then they just kept coming. I was too unstable on my feet so I grabbed unto the nearest thing and brought it to my chest. It was Potter.

He started to hug me back for feeling bad he shouted at me.

"It's okay Draco. You don't need to cry. Shhhh. Don't cry. It's going to be okay."

But I had to answer. "No, it's not going to be okay! Everyone will still make my life a living hell! I'll still be hated. I'll still be beaten. I'll still be in danger. I'll still be the one they try to kill."

"Look at me Draco."

I looked away.

"Look.At.Me."

He was naturally smaller than me so I was forced to look down towards him.

"Draco, your life cannot be a living hell. Especially when you have people that care about you. Very, very much. Of course you'll always be hated. Look at yourself. When you're at full strength, people literally worship the floor you walk on. And so what if you get beaten. The Malfoy I know is never going to let so much as a hair on his head get hurt. At this point in time, everyone is in danger. And Draco...the fact that people are willing to end your life is another reason we're going to live in the same dorms. So, you and I, will go to breakfast tomorrow, and you will eat enough. As far a I'm concerned, you haven't had a grain of food in weeks. You need to stop crying and face those arse-holes that are planning your so called demise. Are you better now?"

I pause for a moment and then I nod.

And then I lean into his hug and then we fall asleep.

Since that day, I have never felt the same way. All thanks to Harry.
