49

Disclaimer: I do not own HP.

Summary: Because 49 was 7 times 7, and 7 was the most magical number in existence (anyone in Arithmancy could tell you that). Too bad Harry never took that class. 49 drabbles/one-shots around Draco and fem! Harry.


two, relief

Relief was the overwhelming emotion Harry felt when Malfoy refused to tell the surrounding Death Eaters her identity. She knew he had recognized her – the instant his eyes widened slightly then narrowed with the expression she knew he reserved just for her.

Even if her face was blown up with hexes and jinxes, her eyes could never change – she loved her eyes, but she hated them at the same time. They were too…distinctive.

But when he whispered those words, she felt relief. Relief for being saved. Relief for him saving her (she was tired of saving everyone. Couldn't a girl hope to be saved for once?).

-o-

Relief was the overwhelming emotion Draco felt when Potter suddenly came back, very much alive, so much on fire. He absolutely hated how weak he felt when he saw her cradled in Hagrid's arms without a touch of life. He didn't know why he was feeling a wave of despair, worse than a dementor could ever bring. He simply knew that those fire-emerald eyes would never look at him again, and he hated that.

Those eyes of Potter's – so different from his. A vivid green filled with so many expressions, normally anger or irritation toward him. He would recognize them anywhere.

When she revealed herself in the final showdown, he felt relief. Relief that she was alive. Relief for him being able to see those eyes one more time (in the rush of adrenaline and relief and war all around him, he never really noticed what that meant).
