Flashback:

"You let him go." Draco whispered softly, groaning as he tried to stand up.

"Of course I did. It can't be any other way." Draco looked up at him in confusion, Saito still seated on the floor.

"Don't look at me like that! We both know you'd hate me if I were to kill him."

"I could never hate you.." Draco said.

"You could. You could even kill me that's how much you'd hate me, and half of me wonders why I don't try."

"Why didn't you?"

"I know you love me, and I'm happy because of that. But you can't love me like you do him, can you?"

"No."

"Thank you. For it not being a damned I'm sorry." Draco smiled softly.

"This is stupid." He sighed.

"You coming here to fight?" Draco asked.

"No! I mean, it's just me and you. This wasn't how it was supposed to happen! We were supposed to crush them and I'd go hide you in a tower or something."

"That sounds strangely romantic." Draco laughed.

"But not enough.."

"You could stop, you know."

"What's the point? I was good for you, Draco. I don't feel like being well-behaved at the moment."

"You're saying you made yourself someone you weren't to stay with me?" Draco growled.

"No! no…that was me, it was, but me having better things to do. I mean, everyone wants it, right? Power. It's just how much you crave it that makes that balance of good and evil. I just had something I wanted more."

"Saito…"

"It won't work Draco, whatever it is you have up your sleeve. We had the real deal. We both know that. It was great, but his does happen in life. There's someone you will never be able to forget, no matter if he had come to find you or not. So I can't kill him, no matter how much I want to."

"What made you change your mind?"

"My sister. She kicked and screamed till the end, but she got her happy ending. She's one of the most important people in my life, how can I ask her to follow me through my wish to conquer? How can I ask her to be evil when she's not? She deserves better than that. Then I got to thinking, aren't you important as well? Aren't you the same as her? What right do I have to kill him because I don't like him. Damn! I'm a pathetic villain."

"I think you did a pretty good job." Saito laughed at Dracos remark. He clutched his painful side.

"Dammed! What was that thing you used? Hurt like hell!"

"Void."

"You're a double element, huh? Nifty. Now I regret not killing him. You'd make an amazing queen to my empire."

"I'm no female."

"Yes. I'm aware of that." He grinned. "I'm…not sure what to do. The villain has made an epiphany; can he go on to conquer the world?"

"I can't let you do that, Saito. Not anymore."

"Stepped up, have you? Was going to happen sooner or later." He coughed.

"What would you do if you won?"

"You really want to know?"

"Please." Saito sat up straight, sighing as he did.

"Bring the place down to the ground. I may not agree with Voldemort on things like muggles, but I do believe that magic is dying. He had that one right. We're loosing it, and watching as it happens."

"You'd kill them all?"

"The ones that were a threat."

"Muggles?" Saito glanced at Draco, raising an eyebrow. "That was your plan?"

"Yup."

"Even if I let you go now?"

"Yup." He said instantly.

"I love you."

"Just not enough."

"No. But I can't let you leave without trying to fight you. This has nothing to do about how I feel about you."

"Just what you feel about what I'll do in the future. I get it. Damn!"

He got up.

"Get up then." Draco followed suite, licking his lips, he put his hands out before him. He wasn't sure how much good he was going to do. Void had never really listened, Ice had always kept it at bay, making it hard to control and tame. Saito walked forward, slapping his hands away, and rapping his hands around the blondes waist. He pulled him into a rough kiss, one that poured in all his remaining feelings.

He let go just as quickly. Draco gasped for breath, licking his lips again.

"Saito!" He yelled.

"Right, right, for Potter only. Had to get my last buzz though." He looked around him carefully, choosing to stand relatively far from Draco, which confused the blonde. Then again, he supposed he wanted to avoid Void, and Electricity had a big range, if he remembered correctly.

Electric tendrils flared off of his body, licking the floor, sticking up his hair. He let out a shout, a scream of pain and the tendrils fizzed around him, thickly striking the ground. Draco ran forwards, confused. What was going on?

Static ranged around Saito, pure, visible strings of lightning that were being made with the friction. Not heading his way? What? The more he screamed, the more electricity coursed around him. Was he getting ready for some huge attack?

He stopped once more, hands at the ready. But nothing came. His hands dropped, mouth open slightly. He then noticed it. Saito had been standing in a pool of water which had been left from their previous fight. Ones he had used to hurt Harry. His eyes went wide instantly.

"Saito" He screamed, running forwards once more. A tendril lashed out, hitting his feet from under him. Draco winced, hissing at the sting it had produced. He didn't want it to end this way. Not this way! Please not this way! Anything but this!

Present:

"You couldn't save him?"

"No." Draco clenched his hands around Harrys fists.

"I get why you're sad. It's not the best way to see someone die."

"I didn't think.."

"I know." Draco hugged Harry tightly.

"It's my fault, isn't it?" Harry hugged back.

"No. Never. I'm thankful for him. He was there for you when you needed help. I might not like the fact that he had the time I could have had, that he might have touched you in ways I had, but you were alone for years. It's unreasonable for me to leave that way and expect it to have been the same."

"You're not upset?"

"Jealous as hell, but not upset."

"I love you."

"I love you too. Now get your fine ass in bed. You have a big day tomorrow." Harry pushed Draco back into the room. Locking the doors of the balcony and closing the curtains.

"I'm just part of the entourage!"

"Imagine if she had put you in a dress." Draco turned to glare at Harry from where he had started putting the various pillows on the floor.

"You better not be imagining it!"

"Come one! A brides maid dress would suite you just fine! How about we do some role play next time?" A pillow was thrown at his face for the suggestion.

"Harry Potter! Anything but a dress you hear me?" Harry jumped onto the bed.

"Oh? Anything else would do then? My, aren't you kinky."

"Harry!" It was a combination of embarrassment at Harrys words and shock at suddenly finding himself on the bed underneath said brunette.

"It wouldn't be that bad." He smiled softly.

"I guess.." Harry leaned down to get his kiss. A cold chill sent through their lips, goose bumps down their skin. A fleeting, shared feeling of being joined in a way they could never undo.

They were fated, entwined, a combination, one soul. They were Ice.

Once in a blue moon, compassionate, or rather, divine love, takes place.

A self-sacrificing love, unselfish and experienced by people willing to do things for another person with no expectations. Precious, beloved, and esteemed.

No matter the risk, no matter the situation, they will always place the other first, always find one another no matter the distance nor situation.

An all-encompassing love, where partners are viewed as blessing. It is a generous love, partners often waiting patiently for the other after a break-up.
