Rarely Pure and Never Simple
People wonder what Harry Potter – Saviour of the Wizarding World and Gryffindor Golden Boy - could possibly see in Draco Malfoy - Death Eater scum and a good-for-nothing Slytherin snake.
People find it ludicrous to believe when Harry insists that Draco has changed. Why should they believe? How could they?
Because they don’t know how hard Draco tried to learn the recipe of treacle tart from Mrs. Weasley just to surprise Harry on his birthday.
They aren’t aware how Draco is always that one person to believe Harry in a heartbeat – whatever it is – even when no one does just because Harry hates when people imply he’s lying for he must not tell lies so how could he?
They don’t know how tight Draco holds Harry’s hands even long after they’re asleep because he’s afraid of falling into the Fiendfyre in his dreams.
They didn’t hear him giving Ron ‘the talk’ when the poor guy was on the verge of a mini mental breakdown mere minutes before his wedding with Hermione.
They didn’t see the tears in his eyes when Harry kissed him hard and said, ‘Yes I will! Of course I will, you idiot!’ while slipping the plain platinum band on his fingers with his pale, trembling hands.
People don’t see any of this and frankly Harry doesn’t coax them to anymore. It isn’t the first time when they have refused to believe him. It isn’t the first time when they have demanded Harry a proof for his claims.
This time, however, he’s more than content to be selfish enough to keep the pure and simple truth all to himself.
