“I would,” Harry said, swallowing sadness, “really miss you. If you did that.”
“I’m going to miss the sex, too,” Draco said, looking down at their feet. “But we both have to get over this. Being at school together is making everything worse, not better.”
Harry inhaled, and Draco waited for him to argue with Draco’s assumption that Harry would miss him solely for sex. But Harry didn’t speak, so Draco stayed silent.
“This isn’t normal,” Draco finally tried.
“Being gay, you mean?” Harry said, and there was the bite, the vinegar.
“I meant fucking someone we hate,” Draco said.

Deflating, Harry sat. Draco sat gingerly next to him and waited for the anger, the accusations. They didn’t come.
Finally, Harry spoke. The dejection in his voice almost made Draco buckle. “You hate me?” he asked.
“Is that the wrong word?” Draco tried. “I hate that I have sex with another bloke. I hate that you’re famous, beloved and heroic, while I’m despised. I hate wanting you the way I should feel about pretty girls. I hate that being with you feels simultaneously almost normal, while also completely wrong. In every way. I hate feeling I’m doing everything completely wrong.”

“I can’t believe I wanted you to be honest,” Harry choked out. He sounded on the verge of tears. “Does Andromeda think this is a good idea? You leaving school?”
“Oh,” Draco said, surprised. “I’ve no idea. I’ve not discussed it with her.”
“Could you?” Harry said, and he sounded hopeful. “I think you should. You seeking her out is…” Draco could almost hear Harry changing his unspoken sentence. Draco didn’t know what Harry’d started to say, but he probably would’ve hated it. He tried not to burn with curiosity.
“I think it was a brilliant idea,” Harry finally tried.

“Er,” Draco said, surprised to get such a nice compliment, and glad Harry thought it had been a good idea. “I’m glad. Aunt Andromeda is really smart, and I was glad to get her perspective. I’m very glad to know she wants to look out for me. Of course I can ask her about this idea. I think it’s a good one, though.” Draco still couldn’t look up from his shoes. “I haven’t felt normal in so long. Everything made sense, once. But that was a very long time ago.”
“Before the war,” Harry said, and Draco had to agree.

I think this is why I like fics so much where they are in their mid-twenties to thirties :) I am looking forward to where you are taking this!
