Passion in Bloom

Chapter 2



Harry was balanced precariously on the windowsill of Huetta Malfoy’s second story guest room, Draco’s room. He almost felt bad, looking at the unconscious form on the bed, that boy had no idea what was going to happen to him, that Harry had intertwined their souls. For now it was pleasant to watch his blond prince sleep soundly. Harry longed to enter and hold Draco in his arms. But for know all he could do was stay watch through the night.



Draco woke suddenly with the strangest feeling. He knew that he had had a drink the night before, but this weird lethargy wasn’t his usual hangover. So Draco just sat in bed, not moving, just staring out the window. Staring at the hot guy perched out there. Wait what? Draco suddenly realized the boy from the party, Harry, was watching him. (It never occurred to Draco that a normal boy would not be balancing on a ledge two stories high.)

“Why are you here?” Draco asked as he tried to get out of bed. He found that he was too weak to move.

“I wanted to make sure you were ok.” Harry answered simply from outside. He seemed softer than he had the previous night, almost like a different person. The Harry that Draco had met at the party had been a smoldering vision of sexuality, and now he was caring, and almost protective of Draco.

“Why can’t I move?” Draco asked after a long moment.

“Because you woke up too early. It’s probably because I stayed too close to you.” Harry answered. He sounded like a nurse explaining something to a patient.

“ Did something happen at the party? I feel so strange. I can’t remember anything after meeting you.” Draco could feel his consciousness slipping away. Already his vision was blurring.

“ You just need rest. Everything will be okay when you wake.”

“ Can you just tell me what’s going on with me?” Draco was frustrated with his body’s weakness, and the strange boy who was not cooperating with his questions.

“I know it’s scary, but I couldn’t help it. When you showed up at the party alone, finally alone, I couldn’t help but take you. I’m so sorry. But sometimes I can’t control myself.”

“Please just tell me what you’re talking about.” Draco almost pleaded. He was getting scared. There was so much fear and regret in Harry’s voice, there had to be something seriously wrong with him. To make matters worse, Draco was finding it harder and harder to keep his eyes open. “ I don’t know how to fix you. I’m so sorry. Oh god I just need you to get better.” Harry was crying now, And Draco was really panicking now.

“What did you do Harry? Tell me.” Draco demanded. He could tell that he was on the edge of hysterics, and the sobbing boy in front of him wasn’t too far either.

“ I think I killed you.” Harry said in a choked voice.

“What do you mean killed me? I’m right here.” Draco almost laughed. What was going on? Here he was, too weak to move with a boy crying at his window, saying that he was dead. It made no sense.

Harry just stared at Draco for a few moments. There was so much pain in his eyes, Draco didn’t understand what was going on, but he knew that he couldn’t stand to look into Harry’s powerful eyes when they were filled with tears.

“Come inside.” Draco said calmly. Harry obliged, and silently crawled in through the window, and then just stood there awkwardly in the middle of the room, staring at his feet. “You can come closer, I won’t bite” Draco said trying to make Harry feel more at ease, so maybe he would explain what was going on. Harry looked up suddenly, with even more pain and self-loathing in his eyes. He was actually crying now.

“But I will.” He choked out through the tears. “ I will hurt you, and you will die, and I don’t wan that to happen.”

“ Why are you so upset Harry?” Draco asked. “ We met last night, an barely spoke, and here you are in hysterics for no reason. I’m not dead, or dying for that matter, I’m probably just a little hung-over from the party.”

“Last night wasn’t the first time we met.” Harry answered simply. He had stopped crying and was standing with his head down.” I’ve known you for years. Every summer you come to this house for a week, and every summer I see you, and long for you from a distance. I’ve wanted to hold you, to have you under my power, to taste you for years.” He was talking so quietly, but the desperation in his voice was so strong, that Draco began to shiver. “ I still dream about the first time I saw you.” He continued. “ We were ten, we are the same age you know, and you were getting ice cream with your aunt. I remember the way the sunlight made your hair glow, and the silly grin you made when you got your big chocolate sundae. I was a few tables away and I knew that you were supposed to be mine. You were perfect. You probably never noticed me, I’m good at hiding in the shadows, but I watched you every day that week. I wanted to go say something so badly, but I was scared you wouldn’t like me. Then you left, and I cried for days.”

As Draco listened to Harry, he started to remember seeing the small dark-haired boy following him around the town.

“But it wasn’t just that summer was it?” Draco asked, specifically remembering seeing Harry when he was thirteen.”

“ I would count down the days every year, until you were back. Draco, I would make up stories in my head where you would come up to me, and ask to be my friend, and we would run away together, and never be apart again.”

Draco was surprised that he wasn’t as freaked out, he had literally been stalked by this boy for years, yet he was more flattered than shocked. Maybe it was because of how attractive the boy in front of him was.

“Why didn’t you just come say hi?” Draco asked gently.

“ You would have just thought that I was weird, like all the other kids.” Harry answered. Draco felt as though he was talking to the ten year old Harry, who longed for a friend. Draco opened his mouth to say something, when he was suddenly struck with a burning sensation in his chest. He didn’t make a sound, but Harry’s head snapped up. “ It’s happening.” He said in a slightly panicked voice.

“ What’s happening?” Draco asked quietly through the pain.

“ You are dying.”





The pain increased tenfold in the next thirty seconds. Suddenly not only was his chest on fire, but it had spread to his arms and head. Draco couldn’t help but cry out. His eyes were closed tight, but he could sense Harry hovering over him.

“Do something.” Draco grunted.

“I’m scared to, I might make it worse.” Harry replied. His voice was once again in hysterics.

“ Just do it.” Draco said with as much force as he could pull through the blinding pain. He could feel his muscles spasm and clench, and each movement they made sent knives up his spine. He was in utter agony.



Harry was standing over Draco, watching the object of his innermost desires writhe in pain, and scream for his help, yet he was petrified. He knew what Draco needed, but that wasn’t an option. He had to make sure Draco lived.

“Hold on Draco. You are strong, just fight it.”



Draco began to thrash in his bed. The fire had begun to burn even hotter, and now Draco could hear the snaps of his bones breaking, and a strange ripping sound, that was his skin being torn off by shards of bone.

“KILL ME! HARRY I WANT TO DIE! MAKE IT STOP! PLEASE GOD, MAKE THIS STOP!” Draco screamed, before his mind finally collapsed from the stress.

Harry knew that Draco could not last much longer. He also knew that he would not be able to carry on without Draco beside him.

“I love you Draco. Please forgive me.” Harry whispered. He took his wrist, and sliced it with his elongated fangs. The bleeding was heavy, and the scarlet liquid flowed out of his veins freely. He held his arm to Draco’s mouth, hoping that some of it would make it to his heart. As soon as Harry’s opened wrist touched Draco’s lips, the blonde’s eyes flew open. He began to suck the blood out, so desperately that it hurt Harry. It was a pain that Harry welcomed, it meant that he could keep Draco forever.
