Harry took a split second to let the relief crash over him, then spun on his heel and made for the door. He called over his shoulder. "Don't let him out, Luna!"
He's very angry with me. He could hear the grin in her voice.
Then I sniffed...
"Let go," came Harry's voice. "Let go and look at me."
And then the tears welled in my eyes and I sniffed some more...
"Please don't leave," Harry whispered.
There was just so much that was perfect here. This is what I was waiting for, the chance to finally get in both the boys' heads and see how the wall separating them was built and is maintained. The Nott thing sort of lends a bittersweet tone to Harry and Draco finally letting go and coming together. I'm guessing he really loved Draco in a way that Draco couldn't reciprocate. They both carry so much guilt and there are so many hurt (and dead) people in between them that I don't see how this can have a happy ending. But the passion and the caring and the devotion are so obvious that I just want to shake them both repeatedly until they come to their senses.
