I Don't Love You

At the park...
Harry sat down on the bench while watching Draco pace in front of him. He really didn't want to be here. He thought he had got over the cheating, but obviously not, when the sight of Draco just made him want to scream. Or maybe throw a glass at him. He smiled fondly at the memory of Ron breaking Draco's nose. Reminded of that incident, he looked at Draco's nose, hoping to see it crooked, or at least a hint that it had been broken.

Apparently not. The vain git had probably spelled away any lasting damages, or at least put a glamour over it.

“Harry...”

He looked up into Draco's eyes. The silver eyes were stormy, showing emotions like Harry had never seen before. This was a first, that Draco had been so obvious with his feelings. Maybe... Like his letter, he had truly change. After all, had Hermione not mentioned some of the positive things that Draco had been doing?

Draco cleared his throat, seeing Harry lost in his thoughts. Had Harry always been this way, so absorbed in his thoughts that he could easliy forget the presence of others? It was embarassing to him to admit that he didn't know. He had never paid enough attention to Harry when he was around. And now...

“Erm. So. Harry. How've you been doing?”

Harry flared up. The bastard had cheated on him and he dared to ask how he was doing? Wasn't it obvious? A sensitive person, Draco Malfoy was not. He snorted. What else could be expected from him?

“That's none of your business.”

“Is Will your boyfriend?”

“You think I'm like you? I don't do random.”

Draco winced. Ouch, that hurt. That was a reminder of what he did to Harry, and that Harry may never forgive him for.

“Harry. I'm truly sorry for how I've treated you in the past. You were such an important piece of my life, and I threw any chance of happiness I could have when I started cheating on you. I don't know why I started cheating, seriously. It may have been the Slytherin bastard in me, it may have been inability to realize what was good for me, it may have been my stupidity. I was really stupid to go behind your back this way Harry. I mean this. I've regretted my actions once I realized that you were truly gone. I know that you are currently dating someone, but is it possible for you to give me another chance? I really need you in my life. Please Harry, forgive me?”

“You're done?”

“Huh?”

“Are you done with what you're going to say?”

“Err... Yes?”

“Ok. Fine. I'll forgive. On the condition that you never look me up again. I don't want anything to do with a guy like you. Ever heard of the case of 'once bitten, twice shy'? If we were to get together again, I would alway be wondering if you were cheating on me again. I wouldn't be able to trust you. And most importantly, I'm very happy with Will now. We might not know each other very well yet, seeing that he has still yet to find out that I'm a wizard, but... I won't give up Will for you.”

“Harry...”

“Enough. You've finished with what you wanted to say. You're done. I'm done. We're done. It's over. Bye, Draco.”

With that, Harry turned around and walked out of Draco's life. Again.

Draco wanted to hold on to Harry and never let go. But how could he? He had lost the right to do so. Harry said that he had forgiven him, but it didn't seem likely, with the kind of condition he had set. His heart clenched painfully at the thought of not seeing Harry again.

The impulse to start banging his head into the nearest pole was getting really strong. Why the fuck did he do what he did? If he had never strayed, if he had learnt earlier about his feelings for Harry, he would never have to see Harry leaving him and walking into the arms of another. Fuck. All he could do now was to go drink himself into oblivion.

A few hours later...
No one said that a drunk man was sane. That was the same case for Draco. He wrote out a delivery order for a thousand of the best white roses the flower shop had for a Mr. Harry Potter, wrote a note to go along with it, sent it, and... Fell asleep.
