Tears
He didn’t know why Harry was crying; they’d told him nothing about the outside world since he’d arrived at Grimmauld Place. But as Draco peered into the bedroom, he could make out Harry, his body shaking with emotion.
His first reaction was to leave; he didn’t deal well with overt emotion. Malfoys, his father had constantly told him, never cry. It wasn’t true; Draco knew that, so would it hurt to offer solace?
And would Harry accept it from an ex-Death Eater?
Quietly he crossed to the bed, took Harry in his arms and let him cry out his heartache.
