He can understand the emotional turmoil you're going through when he gets to know that you're scared of falling in love. How did he get to know that you were scared of falling in love? It was your boggart. It was during the third year Harry figured out your fear, you've never told him what your boggart was before and it made him curious to know what it was. When professor Lupin decided to teach the class about Boggarts, people lined up to have a go against the Boggart. It was a fun experience to watch people's fears transform into something silly so they wouldn't be scared of it anymore. You however hesitated when it was your turn and Harry felt sad when he saw a look of doubt and hesitation cross your face. Whatever it was that you were scared of, Harry promised himself he'd never let it harm you. He loved you with all his heart after all but little did he know it was love that you were scared of

The boggart came out of the closet and changed into none other than cupid himself, the very same cupid that appeared in your dreams and swore to make you fall in love with someone. 'Well, look who we have here. Little Y/N who thinks they're so strong. You do realize you need someone in your life, I'll be more than happy to make sure you end up falling in love with someone'. You've read stories of Greek myths and other books about why and how love would mess someone up and you gritted your teeth as you snarled 'Riddikulus' but no avail because cupid was still there and he just smirked and spoke 'Or why don't I have you for a consort for myself instead?' as he advanced towards you but you snarled at him to stay back and yelled Riddikulus which changed your boggart into a bunch of rose petals. You heaved a sigh of relief and said you needed some time alone as you quickly ran out of the class

Harry was worried about you and decided to check on you to make sure you were all right. He found you muttering something to yourself and when he placed a comforting arm around your shoulder, you recoiled in surprise to see Harry standing next to you. "Oh... it's just you Harry. I don't blame you if you think I'm a coward for what my boggart is, I know it's stupid but... I just... I just can't help it" you finished and wrung your hands in the air in despair. He hugged you and he said he could relate to whatever you were going through. It kind of made sense in a way, he lost his parents, he's scared of loving someone because he thinks they'll be taken away from him again but experience and whatever time he's spent at Hogwarts, he's learnt that only if you experience it you'll be able to develop an opinion about something. He's had the fortune of experiencing love again because of you, you gave him a purpose in life, you were thr reason he was still alive and had the strength to carry on despite everything happening in his life

He decided to take things slow, baby steps would certainly make him victorious. He had to prove that he wasn't leaving you or he'd leave you, like the others. He figured you had abandonment issues and he realized he had to work on them. Nothing in your life will ever prepare you for the amount of love and affection you'll receive from him after this incident. He'll be like a shadow who'll never seem to leave you alone. The last thing he wants to do is to make you feel unwanted like you felt before

: He's another guy who can relate and understand to you having the fear of love. He always wanted and craved for the love of his father till he realized he was never going to get it, at least not in this lifetime. He grew up thinking love and emotions were a huge waste of time till he found out about your fear of love during a conversation with each other during breakfast one day. You revealed that you had a fear of falling in love with someone, because of abandonment issues and you have a live example of why love was dangerous in your opinion, the example of your own parents. Your parents used to love each other with all their hearts and soul, their friends would literally sing praises about their love story, which was quite a fascinating one indeed. They rebelled against their parents, your grandparents to get married with each other till they finally relented and agreed to let them get married. Their love was short lived as arguments started becoming more frequent. If this was love you wanted no part of it, love was nothing more more a cruel monster that tempted people to make the wrong choices in life and leave them broken and miserable for the rest of their lives in your opinion

Draco listened to your story patiently and he was furious at your parents for their behavior. How dare they make you feel like that? How dare they make you feel unsafe and scared of a feeling like love? Even though Draco seemed to think that he used to despise the idea of love before, he realized he was starting to fall in love with you and that thought actually scared him, the intense feelings and the raw emotions he's felt for you, he's never felt like that for anyone else before. He wanted you to be his, he NEEDED you to be his, he needed you like he needed air. Draco caressed your cheek tenderly and spoke "You've suffered a lot, let me take the pain away for you now" as he held your hands in his in a comforting manner which made you feel a bit better. He didn't appreciate the way your parents made you feel, scared of love, something that everyone deserved

Draco didn't give a damn about what other people thought, they could go screw themselves for all he cared but when it came to you, he adored every single fibre and part of you. He knows it's going to take time for you to open your heart, but he's going to take it slow. He hopes that you'll learn to love him like how he loves you
