After three days in England, Harry came to the conclusion that he never really had gotten over Draco. He had been hurt when Draco hadn't come with him three years ago. He had asked, but Draco had said that he wanted to remain behind to clear the Malfoy name, to try to repair at least some of the damage Lucius had caused.

At the time, Harry had told Draco that he understood, but really he hadn't. He couldn't understand how one's name could possibly be more important than your happiness.

Draco had asked Harry to stay behind, but Harry had explained that he needed to leave England. He had put up with years of attention, both good and back, and he needed solitude.

Neither of them willing to give up what they needed for themselves individually, they instead gave up their relationship. Harry hadn't realized at the time just how much it would hurt, how much Draco had come to mean to him. He had been glad at the time that he hadn't told Draco how he really felt about him, but since then he had regretted not saying those words - more times than he could count.

And now he was back home, back in England, the place where it all started, and he couldn't stop thinking about Draco, what they had had, and what he had given up. It had been mere days that he had been home, yet he ached with longing to see Draco again. Longed to hold him in his arms again. Ached to kiss him again, to touch him, to taste him, to feel him.

But he couldn't tell anyone.

Wow! You really CAN'T wait, can you? *giggles* It took you, what? Four minutes to see it, read it and comment! Have some cookies.

And YES, he really could tell Draco. *smacks him upside the head*

[piratesmile331.livejournal.com]

Sorry to be impatient!! It's a great story!

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

No need to apologize! It's a great compliment. Thanks, sweets!

Oh I'm glad that they didn't part with bad blood! Makes the reunion all the more hopeful *grins expectantly*

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

No bad blood, here. Just regrets.

Awww, I love this. It's just like Harry to bottle it all up inside. I hope Draco's at the wedding. :)

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

Hmmm ... we'll see.

[moon-of-my-soul.livejournal.com]

so, will draco show up at all? if he doesn't this would still be a great story, but it'd be wonderful if in like the last chapter he shows up at the very end....ignore that, i'm honestly not trying to tell you how to write your story. anyway, i loved this chapter because it was bittersweet to me. update soon!

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

Well ... since the story is already written (yup, right to the end), you'll have to wait & see if Draco makes an appearance. ;) Next update tomorrow.

So why hasn't he sent word to Draco? Afraid that he's moved on? Sooo need more!

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

Harry is not sure if he could handle seeing Draco with someone else, so he needs to be prepared for the worst before he contacts him. Meanwhile, he's just following along with Ron & Hermione, trying to occupy his mind with anything BUT thoughts of Draco. *sighs* It's not working.

Next part tomorrow.

*hugs Harry* Oh god. So bloody heartbreaking. Poor, poor Harry.

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

Yeah ... and he's not finished going through his paces yet, either. *pets Harry*
