Chapter 2:
The next morning there was a lot of screaming and yelling infront of the Dursley house which the three of them didn't dare going outside to tell the two wizard boys to stop fighting. They had been doing that all morning till Draco's lack of food made him to tired to continued and he eventially gave in and agreed to try and be nice at the Weasley's house.
When Ron, Hermione, and Ginny all showed up in a flying car to early for anyone to be awake also because they put a sleep spell on the whole block except the Dursley's so they could fly about freely. Draco had to bite his tounge so not to snap at the red-head Weasel glaring at him. When the Weasel saw how bad Malfoy looked he looked like laughing which only made Draco want to kill him. It took everything the Slytherin had not to get his wand out.
It was when the she-weasel ran over throwing herself into Harry's arms that Draco's hand rapped around his wand and he had to hold his right wrist with his left, because this curse was messing with his emotions and it really was a physical tast not to use the killing curse on her.
"Yepp, its oficial I'm leaving." Draco hissed then began walking toward the park were Harry found him to begin with. When Harry went to stop him Draco's wand found its self infront of Harry's nose threateningly.
"Draco?" Harry wined getting back to their arguement earlier. The others gasped at him using the Ice Prince's given name.
"Not another step, Potter or i'll make sure you won't wake up tomorrow." draco warned at he took two steps back standing in the road. When Harry took a step forward there was a sharp screech from Draco as his wand fell out of his hand and he began to scream in a way that know one would be able to forget. Because its the scream of someone under the Crucio curse. Harry's scar began to throb as he watched the blonde. The green pattern in the back of Draco's hand stared to glow, but not as bright as the silver words written in it. People began to come out of there houses the sleeping spell vanished all together. Muggles began to question them and started calling the hospital and police when Draco didn't quiet, but began to get louder. Everyone had to hold their ears at the terrible screaming like the mermaid egg when you held it out of water and opened it.
"Draco, calm down...what's happening? How can the Crucio curse work if know ones pointing it at you?" Harry was pulling Draco out of the road and into his lap on the side walk trying despratily to quiet him. He began to stroke Draco hair whispering for him to calm down.
"Harry what's going on?" Hermione quetioned still clutching her ears despraitly trying to stop the screaming from entering her brain and later her nightmares.
"Draco...I'm right hear..." Harry noticed how the screaming softened slightly so he continued. "I'm hear...I'm sorry Draco I won't look away again...I don't want to hurt you...I don't want to fight...please stop...please..."The screaming slowly died down to small wimpers as the blonde fell into uncouisouness curled in Harry's arms. Harry slowly rocked back and forth with the boy then Ron helped him up still craddling the smaller wizard. Draco's head was on his shoulder his lips were touching his neck sending shivers down his body every time the blonde breathed. They all climbed in the car driving away only flying when they were sure they were out of muggle sight.
"You know I almost died when I got your letter last night asking if you could bring Malfoy with you." Ron breathed his hands gripping the stiring wheel till his knuckles turned white.
"Yes, what was that just now Harry?" Hermione hissed looking in her best friends lap where he still held Draco protectivley. His feet where inbetween the witch and Harry as he slept curled up his face barried in Harry's neck.
"I don't really know. He has weird mood swings and a temper since I found him...the screaming was from this..." Harry held up Draco's right arm still bandaged then told them it was covered in black lines and the green emerald and the silver writing. After Ginny and Hermione looked at the arm Harry pulled Draco back to his chest placing him carfully back against his shoulder and neck.
"Do you thing he did something to make you-know-who mad?" Ron looked in the mirror at Harry then toward Draco before staring at the road again. He didn't feel sorry for the Slytherin Harry could tell by his voice he probably was loving Draco's broken form laying limb and helpless which only pissed Harry off farther.
"Probably." Harry shrugged then looked down to see Draco's eyes flutter till they opened halfway they still held the pain in them, but other than that he just looked sleepy. The raven-haired wizard started to stroke his hair till he dozed off.
"Harry what happened between you two last night?" Hermione looked at the way Draco odimatically relaxed and how Harry seemed so protective of the other boy. The word 'Harry' escaped the uncousious blonde which only deepened Hermione's suspisoun which Harry new he would end up having to tell her. The golden boy blushed fericely under Hermione's glare.
"We...um...talked...and...fought...and...um...kissed..." the last word was hardl audible, but the other three hurred him and Ron stomped on the gas stopping the car in midair to turn and look at Harry and the sleeping beauty in his arms.
"HE KISSED YOU? I'll kill him." Ron growled reaching for the blonde, but Harry jerked him out of his reach glaring with a look that could put Voldemort to shame. His hands became tighter around the boy's shoulder and waist.
"I KISSED him, not the other way around." Harry hissed stopping everyone in their tracks as they all stared at him blankly not knowing how they should feel about that.
"He's a Malfoy Harry you should have left him the park, you should have left him...what's wrong with you, you hate Malfoys all of them." Ron snapped the two girls stayed silent as they looked at the small fragile boy in Harry's arms. He stered at the sound of yelling, but couldn't seem to get himself to wake up.
"I don't know we were fighting when we kissed too, but I don't know...I just...I've never felt anything like it before..." Harry was blushing pathaticly and looking down at Draco so he didn't have to meet anyones eyes. The blonde's body still looked way to skinny, then he remembered he never got around to actually get him anything to eat.
"Harry...huh, lets stop to get something to eat and we can talk once we've all settled down, besides the boy looks like he's starving." Ginny pointed to the blonde's exposed stomach since he moved in his sleep and it got pulled up. Once they landed next to a restraunt in the wizarding world Harry told them he'd pay besides they came all the way and even alowed a Malfoy in with them for now. Draco was only parshly awake and wasn't at all awear of his surroundings as he walked around like a zombie with half-shut lids. As soon as they set at a booth away from everyone else Draco leaned against the wall and passed back out cold. Harry shook him awake to ask what he wanted to eat, but the boy pushed Harry's hand away weakly and grombled to be left alone. Hermione ended up ordering for the blonde since Harry looked sad at the blonde unsure of what to do and not wanting to anger the blonde again. Then Hermione leaned over the table since she was sitting right across from Draco and place her hand on his forehead. The two Weasleys and Hermione set on one side of the table Harry and Draco on the other.
"He has a fever, a very bad one at that." They all looked at the Slytheirn wondering what he'd be like fully awake sitting in a restraunt with messy/dirty hair with dirt all over him and his clothes unwashed,to their surprise the boy didn't stink though, but still smelt like...apples Harry concluded. When they're food was placed infront of them Harry tried to wake up the blonde againwho simple pushed him away. Dark rings were under the boys eyes looking like brusies against his to pale ghostly skin that was still as smooth as ever.
"Hey, ferret-face the Dark Lord's hear for you!" Ron hissed under his breat and to everyones horror Draco jumped up jerking his head around franticly as if the very man he heard could appear just by the menchain of his name. He reached for his wand which Harry had in his pocket, so the boy couldn't find it which only made him panic.
"Hear, calm down Draco that was a cruel joke and it won't happen again promise know ones hear to get you." Harry sat the paniced boy back down handing him his wand and sending a death glare at Ron who shuddered. Draco clung to the wand still examining the room, noticing the other costumers not even looking at them meaning Hermione put a soundless spell on their booth. He was fully awake now with everyone of the four of them staring at him questioningly.
"Where am I? Wheres that park? Wheres those muggles? Why did you have my wand? Why is this place so crowded?" Draco turned to Harry to answer all his questions.
"We're at a restraunt that I don't remember the name of, the park is still back at that place you fainted so we took you with us, I had your wand because you dropped it when you were threatening to curse me." Harry explained an amused smile sliding on his face at the other boys confusion.
"I thought I told you to leave me next time I fainted or blacked out? This is kidnapping." Draco snapped, but limped back against the seat closing his eyes again. He opened his orbs staring at the food infront of him feeling his stomach flip and wanting to throw up.
"Don't look like that you have to eat." Harry wined at the blonde boy who turned and gave huge adorable puppy eye.
"But...I'm not hungry..." He wimpered then looked back at his face with the stubbornness of a small child unwilling to eat his greens. Hermione couldn't help, but to giggle slightly, but she didn't shut up fast enough, because mercury eyes glared at her then his eyebrows pulled together as if noticing someone else was near them for the first time.
"Malfoy you look like your going to starve to death you've got to eat." Hermione's smile fell fast as her eyes locked with ungaurded Malfoy eyes then his shields shot up when he saw the look on her face.
"I bet you'd like that...huh...Mudblood. Sorry to disappoint but I don't plan to die anytime soon." He snapped and the words cut at Ron who jumped from his spot reaching over the table to grab Draco who already had his wand at ready. Hermione caught Ron and slammed him back down showing she had this at least one conversation in her favor.
"Malfoy do you always put a fake sneer on your lips to impress, but I've already looked into those painfully lonley lost puppy eyes of your, you can't fool me anymore your not some tough guy who can do everything on your own...I bet your scared of the world right now...ha-ha tell me you had everything are you just now feeling lonley or were you always like that among your friends who i bet would laugh at you right now..." She finally felt trumphant against the boy who's been torturing her for years.
"HERMIONE!" Harry growled but know one seemed to be paying him any mind, Draco was out of the booth which he pushed Harry out of the way to do. He stood above Ron, but his eyes were on the girl behind them.
"I'm not and never was lonley bitch, and you damn little muggle-loving fools are the only ones who have friend problems, an obsessive skank and a jealous puppy...oh, lets not forget the she-weasel stalker...indeed all addicted to the boy-who-lived." He spat at them and managed to get peoples attention, due to the fact he wasn't in the booth anymore.
"Your just putting up a front Malfoy, I saw what you really are a sniviling-spoiled-ferret-faced-useless-cowardly excuse for a human being. You don't even have any real friends do you and if you turn your back on Voldemort then of course your own family will turn on you...what's wrong did I hit the nail on the head Malfoy...I may be a muggle-born witch, but at least my parents would never abandon me." Of course she struck a nerve and his wand was in hand pointing at her. The green mark and sliver words glowing madly, he was obviously in pain, but refused to show it as he felt the ergde to kill feeling his being. The words 'Crucio' was almost out of his mouth when Harry stepped infront of her, he drew his wand at the last second feeling his throat and mouth go dry craving for water, but he wasn't about to back down to get a quick sip so he sucked it up.
"Filthy, Mudblood...I hope when the war comes you and the rest of your desgusting breed are wiped off the face of the earth...along with the Weasels and...POTTER I wish the most painfullist death you can imagen be put on you...muggle-loving scar'd freak." his words were laced with posion that reached his eyes easly, but the pain also increased, but he left the restrant before anyone could come up with a witty come back. He didn't regret saying that, but as much as he told him self that he new the ending about Harry was a complete and utter lie because he was angry that Harry had saved her, he protect her, he cared about her, he chose her and Draco didn't want to be in pain and confused on top of all of that. Harry was his enemy no matter how many times he had to tell himself that he would eventiaully believe it...he hoped.
Walking around Diagon Ally cluelessly was stupid, but he didn't know what else to do at least they had gone to a wizarding restrant, so he new were he was. That really sucked though due to everyone knowing him and seeing him look like a homeless poor disgusting rat of a child. The worst part of the whole fight was that the Mudblood had been right, though he would rather die then admitt that. He was broken, alone, scared, and pathetic. There was still a week till school and he had know were to stay nothing to eat besides his four berries, but he honestly didn't feel hungry so that part should be fine. He has a fever and keeps almost falling asleep on his feet walking. Of course he did have a bit of money that he was holding when it all happened stuffed in the hip pouch he had his water in. Enough for room and board at least for a week which was perfect. His school stuff was bought weeks ago and sent to Snape at hogwarts, so he couldn't loose them. That left him looking for a place to stay for a week.
In the week before school Draco forced himself to eat a little, but didn't regain any wait. He didn't see any Weasel, Granger or Potter after their little spat and was both realived and very disappointed, he found himself always thinking about Potter or The Death Eaters probably still looking for him. The Ice Prince of Slytherin was staying in a shabby dirty inn, not because of money, but because this types of places would be the last place he was looked for at...he's father knows he hates spiders, dust, small rooms, and anything that a poor fool would stay in and this place had a lot of all that and more. Draco never got more than a half hour of sleep because horrible nightmares and when he did sleep he was curled into a ball trying to pretent the world didn't exist. he couldn't take the nightmares though, so he made a sleepless potion so he didn't have to sleep at all, of course the potion had sidifaces...(throwing up, fevers, depression, and etc)...but he didn't care he would do anything to get rid of the dreams. Even the constant shooting pain in his right arm that he can't even move anymore is better than the nightmares, so he indors by just laying there jumping at every sound and slowly forgetting he even existed.
