Draco ran blindly through the halls of Malfoy Manor, he couldn't live here anymore, not with the people living there. He didn't want to become a death eater. He may agree with some of their views but there was no way he was joining. He was only 16 for crying out loud! He was too young for this, too young to make a decision that would change the rest of his life.

"Draco! Get back here, the Dark lord has given you the chance of a lifetime, do not be foolish" Bellatrix yelled after him. Draco ignored her, he had to get out of this place he had to leave before it was too late.

He ran through the open front door that a house elf was holding.

"Run Master Draco, before it is too late, go to Harry Potter, he will protect you" it squeaked before closing the door leaving him outside in the dark and free.

Draco ran to the broom shed and grabbed his Nimbus, he kicked off the ground and flew up above the clouds so he was above the eye level of the muggles below. He had to find the person who might be able to help him, someone with black hair and green eyes. Who was the unknowing owner of Draco's heart. If the house elf said to find Harry then that's what he was going to do. Number 4 Privet Drive flashed across his eyes. He knew where he had to go.

By the time he got there it was just beginning to get light and he was freezing. He landed at the back door and looked through the window, a black hair boy sat at the kitchen table reading a book in the dark. Draco softly tapped the window and Harry looked up at him, surprise covering his face. Harry stood up and opened the back door.

"What are you doing here Malfoy?" he hissed looking up at the roof quickly as if looking at something.

"I had nowhere else to go, I need your help" he said and Harry flinched at how loud his voice was. Draco hadn't spoken loudly, he just didn't whisper.

"Shhhhhhh, or you're going to wake them up" He said looking franticly upstairs. "Come on" he said grabbing two coats of the back of the door and pushing Draco outside.

"Harry where are you going?"Draco asked as they walked up the street, shrugging on a coat that was way too big for him.

"Somewhere we can speak in private" Harry replied.

They walked in silence until they came to a park.

"Now why are you here" Harry said turning at him his voice softer than before. Draco burst into tears

"They were going to make me become a Death Eater, I don't want to be a death eater" He sobbed. "I don't want to hurt you, please you have to help me"

Harry pulled him into a hug and together they sunk to the ground.

"They were going to kill me, I overheard them if I didn't do what they said they were going to kill me" Draco sobbed into Harry's chest and harry rubbed soothing circles on his back. "I couldn't do it Harry, I couldn't harm you, I'm sick of hurting the people I love." Draco started crying harder and harry lifted his chin up so they were looking at each other straight in the eye.

"It's ok Draco" Harry said and Draco smiled at the use of his first name. Harry lent in a kissed him softly on the lips and Draco immediately kissed back, he had wanted to do that for so long. "I'll protect you" Harry said pulling away and Draco knew that he would be safe.
