Harry narrates through images: Draco, as a child, frowns and shows Lucius that Draco's hand has a cut/scrape on it. Lucius uses magic to heal the cut. Draco smiles.
On the Astronomy Tower, we see a single large image of Harry and Draco, from a low angle, against a wide, star-filled sky. Harry has lifted Draco and pinned zem against one of the crenellations. Draco is bleeding from the mouth. Harry's face is pressed very close to Draco's; Harry is looking in Draco's eyes, using Legilimency.
