Draco Malfoy slowly realizes that Harry Potter has fallen for a girl. Though it breaks his heart, Draco decides that Harry deserves to be happy, even if that means removing himself from Harry’s life. His usual bratty attitude turns into coldness and distance—fewer arguments, fewer conversations, and absolutely no lingering around Harry anymore.

Draco tells himself that if he stays away long enough, his feelings will disappear. But Harry notices the change and becomes increasingly confused and hurt, wondering why Draco suddenly seems determined to let him go.
