[never be alone: takes place in their fifth year. CONTAINS CUTTING/MAYBE TRIGGERING SCENES YOU'VE BEEN WARNED]

HARRY'S POV

"We better head back to the Gryffindor Tower, it's almost past our curfew," Hermione told Ron and I as we walked down a corridor.

"Yeah, I still haven't started on my Potions essay that's due on Friday," Ron added.

Hermione rolled her eyes at him, "I finished mine earlier this afternoon, and you two had better get started soon."

"Of course she did," Ron muttered to me, and I chuckled.

Hermione obviously heard and just glared ahead of her, sighing.

Suddenly I heard a faint noise... Like crying? Who could that be? Ron and Hermione hadn't noticed.

"Erm, I'm just going to the bathroom first, I can't wait," I told them, and rushed off.

Now that I was outside the bathroom - Moaning Myrtle's bathroom to be specific - I could hear the crying more loudly. It was definitely a boy. Slowly, I pushed open the door and peered inside. I gasped at what I saw, and covered my mouth.

It was Draco Malfoy, sitting by the stalls, running a blade across his wrists. There was blood dripping from his arms, and tears dripping from his face. He hadn't noticed me yet, and he kept muttering things like "stupid", "worthless", "he'll never love you", and "why me?". I wondered who he was talking about, who would never love him? A guy, because he said 'he' but who?

Cautiously, I walked closer to him and knelt down in front of him. I didn't want him hurting himself, it caused me pain to watch.

"Draco?" I said gently.

He looked up at me, his silvery blue eyes bloodshot, and tears still streaming down his face.

"H-Harry?" He stuttered, "You shouldn't b-be here, g-go away."

I shook my head, and gently pried the blade from his hand and set it far behind me. Then I held his face in my hands and wiped away his tears. He just sat there and stared at me, still crying. I cleaned up his wrists with my wand, and made sure no more blood was being spilled.

"Come here, Draco," I whispered, and opened my arms.

He immediately climbed onto my lap and wrapped his legs and arms around me, crying into my shoulder. I hugged him to me and whispered comforting things in his ear. After about five minutes, his tears subsided, and he was now just sniffling.

"Draco," I murmured to him, "why do you hurt yourself, love?"

"My parents h-hate me, and the person I'm in l-love with will never love m-me back," he pulled back from my shoulder and wiped his eyes, still sitting on my lap.

"Your parents can't hate you Draco, no parents could truly hate their child. Even if they don't show it, they love you, you're their son. You deserve to be treated much better than they treat you. And the person that you're in love with, is stupid to not love you back, because anyone would be lucky to have you," I told him, rubbing his back comfortingly.

What he doesn't know, is that I'm in love with him. Whoever this person is that he loves, I'm jealous of them, and they really are stupid to not love him back.

"B-but my parents do hate me! I t-told them that I'm gay, and now they hate me," Draco looked like he was going to cry again, "The person I love, is a guy obviously, a-and I doubt he likes b-boys in that way."

Draco is gay? This is great news, really great! I'm gay too.

"Oh Draco, your parents are just stupid homophobic people who can't accept that people can like the same sex. But we definitely can, like me, and like you. How can you know that this guy doesn't like boys, unless he has specifically told you so?"

Draco looks shocked, and I wonder what I said to make him like that.

"W-wait, you're gay?" He questioned, staring at me intently.

Blushing, I nodded. "Yeah, you wouldn't have known, since I'm not out. Only Hermione and Ron know, and now you."

"Can I tell you something?" Draco asked me.

Nodding, I said, "Of course you can."

He bit his lip, seeming really nervous about what he's gonna tell me, "You're the one that I'm in love with, Harry. I never told you, because I thought you hated me and that you were straight."

My face broke out in a grin, "Really? Because, I'm in love with you too."

He blushed and then asked, "Can I kiss you, Harry?"

I nodded, and we both leaned in, our lips connecting. Immediately I felt all warm inside, with fireworks exploding in my stomach. I guess that cliche stuff is real.

When we pulled back, I told him, "You'll never be alone Draco, you have me now."
