Harry sat back in the psyche ward at Hogwarts; mumbling to himself and rocking back and forth on the regulation bed. Everyone had tried to visit him but Harry'd scream at them or throw something to get them away. He shook off calming spells just like he would an imperius curse. He'd had his wand taken away until he was stable. Too many people had gotten hurt with the mobilicorpus spell.

No-one had visited him today. Harry really hadn't noticed. Mdm. Pomfrey had gotten snippets of what he'd been mumbling like "NO! STOP! IT HURTS!" or "Get away Voldemort… GET AWAY!" and "He can't hurt me here! No, no, no, no, no! hee hee hee…" He'd scream in his nightmares and thrash about. And to think all of this would change soon.

"Hermione Granger. Come to see inkle Harrykins? Hm?" sneered Malfoy.

"He's a basket-case isn't he!" laughed Crabbe.

"Quiet Malfoy! You know I'll blast your head off!" yelled Hermione tears coming to her eyes.

"AWWWW!" fawned Malfoy, mocking her.

"If you're so brave then Draco, Go visit Harry yourself!"

"Fine I will!"

Draco had left Crabbe and Goyle outside so that he could 'visit' Harry.

When Draco had gotten to Harry's bed Harry was staring at his pillow, huddled up at the foot of the bed pointing accusingly at the goose-down stuffed thing.

"Get away you slimy git!" yelled Harry.

"Ahem-" Malfoy cleared his throat.

"Don't touch me Voldemort!" screamed Harry.

"Harry? HARRY!" Harry winced at his name and turned around slowly like you would when you were caught stealing from the cookie jar. Seeing Draco, Harry jumped off the bed and crawled around behind Draco's right leg. He look past it as if it were a tree.

"Is it gone?"

"Um… Yeah…" replied Malfoy shocked at what Harry just did. "I'll just be going…"

"NO! NO! NO! THEY'LL GET ME! DRACO! THEY'RE THERE!" Harry latched onto Draco's leg harder and pointed once again at the pillow. By now Mdm. Pomfrey had arrived.

"He's never actually been nice to anyone before… I wonder if he's recovering." Thought Mdm. Pomfrey out loud.

From then on Draco had had to visit Harry daily or he would go berserk and no-one could calm him down except the presence of Draco. Eventually he'd been allowed to wander about the school, but only if he was chaperoned or with Draco. Draco found he didn't mind Harry but that didn't make him happy.

One October day had found Harry wandering the halls alone, out of reality. He was walking around dazed and confused, looking at blank walls as if they held the greatest paintings of the world. Draco saw him but being a Slytherin, pretended not to notice. Someone hurrying quickly to their next class bumped Harry's shoulder on his way in a door and all hell broke loose.

Harry screamed like a banshee, clutched his shoulder in extreme pain and fell to the floor. Everybody froze. Draco ran over to where Harry was and knelt. Harry latched onto his arm like a leech and stopped screaming but continued to look about the rrom frantically while clutching his shoulder.

"They hurt me Draco… They're here… It hurts… It hurts…"

"Clear out everyone! Get Mdm. Pomfrey!" yelled Draco. A little chubby kid ran to go get her while some students left, but most stayed where they were.

"…They hurt me… Draco… They hurt me…" muttered Harry.

"I know… Shhh… Shhh… They're dead… They're Gone…It's ok Harry… Shhh…" Draco Comforted while unconsciously stroking Harry's arm.

Some wise guy Slytherin 4th year decided he'd have a bit of fun with the saviour of the world and folded a paper airplane and through it at Harry. It flew over and lightly tapped Harry on the shoulder. Harry yelped and pulled himself into Draco's lap and buried his head into Draco's chest.

Harry whimpered "They hurt me again…" rage laced his words and still holding onto Draco, who had by now sat down, Harry turned to face the person who through the offending object. Using wand-less magic Harry sent the boy flying through three classrooms. Harry glared at the rest of the people gawking at him and made stone walls burst forth out of the ground creating a dark cocoon around Draco and Harry.

"Um, Harry?" Harry wasn't listening to Draco; he was busy rubbing his head on Draco's chest before answering him.

"Don't leave me Draco… ever…" Harry reached up and placed a soft chaste kiss on Draco's chin before falling asleep in his arms. Draco was in shock.

Half an hour later Dumbledore arrived and after clearing the corridor of students melted away the walls and saw the pair.

"It seems, young Draco, the vela has chosen his Mate." Draco just gaped at the old man.
