I did this for MadHatter524's Alice in Wonderland Quote Competition. The quote I used here is "It's very easy to take more than nothing." I don't know why but for reason I'm on a sad story writing kick, well at least I am writing something. Hope you all like it!


Blaise sat down on the furthest chair from the door. He looked at Harry who was sleeping soundly in the hospital bed. "When is Draco coming?" Blaise asked quietly, not expecting an answer from anybody. As he sat there he looked at Harry who had the unfortunate ability to get hurt wherever he was. Harry and Blaise had been swimming when the boy went on the diving board; he slipped biting through his lip. Harry only had to get stitches, but he still had to stay overnight.

Draco finally walked into the room; his clothes were wet from being outside for a little too long. After Harry got hurt it had begun to rain as if to express sadness for Harry getting hurt. He went over to Harry's bedside and said quietly, "I knew the Muggle pool was a bad idea." Blaise watched the boy as he muttered to himself about how going to the Muggle pool was a bad idea. "Draco," Blaise said, Draco didn't look away from Harry. "Draco, will you listen to me for a minute," Blaise said more loudly but not loud enough to wake up the sleeping boy. Draco looked at him out of his daze. "What Blaise?"

"Just wanted to say that Harry has been talking in his sleep again," Blaise told him. "He said that you should, well we should take more than nothing from our friendship. I don't know what that means. Do you Draco?"

Draco thought for a minute than said, "I guess there's always a good reason. It's very easy to take more than nothing." Blaise looked at him before he shook his head, "I guess it still doesn't make sense though."

Draco rolled his eyes before he said, "Are you tired? Maybe you go to sleep, I will watch him." Blaise shook his head, "I'm not sleepy plus I want to see him when he wakes up."

Draco laughed as he walked over to Blaise and said, "Blaise, your eyes show how tired you are. Any minute now you will be asleep."

Blaise let a yawn escape him, "Okay, I admit that I am tired. Draco, will you get me a blanket and when he wakes up wake me up too?"

Draco ordered a house elf to get Blaise a blanket before he said, "I will wake you up, I promise." He gave the boy the blanket before settling into a chair by Harry's bed.

A couple hours later Harry woke up as he looked at the two, Draco ended up falling asleep right before the boy woke up. "Guys," Harry said quietly. "Wake up!"

The two boys stirred in their sleep but neither one woke up. Harry sighed as he reached for his glasses on the bedside table he then waited for the two to wake up. When the two boys woke up Harry grinned at the two. "You two were saying something in your sleep, you guys were muttering really."

"What did we say," Blaise asked curiously. He looked at Harry while he waited for the boy to tell him. "Yeah, what did we say?" Draco asked, groggily.

Harry smiled and said, "You guys were saying how good friends we are, well both of you guys said that and a little later Draco said in his sleep how clumsy I am." Draco and Blaise nod. "You are clumsy though," Draco said.

"I know," Harry said, "but I at least have so wonderful friends that help me when I need it, which is a lot."

They laughed but said nothing else. Later that day Harry is let out of the hospital and when they go to Draco's house the two look at Harry, who was very quiet the whole way back to Draco's house. "Are you okay Harry," Draco and Blaise asked.

"I'm fine," Harry said calmly. "So, no more Muggle pools for me?" He said this with a slight smile.

Draco nodded, "Yes, no more Muggle pools for you. I don't want you to get hurt again; actually I think it would be extremely difficult for you not to get hurt."

"Really Draco," Harry said, "I can go a whole day without getting hurt."

"Really, you can?" Draco said, incredulously. "I don't believe you can."

Harry looked at him with a determined look. "I bet you five galleons that I will not get hurt for a whole day."

"Okay, I can't wait to be five more galleons richer," Draco said with a grin. Harry smiled, "You just wait and see."

"I bet five galleons that we won't have to go the hospital again," Blaise said. Later that day Harry scraped his knee and Draco got that five more galleons, Blaise was left shaking his head with how silly the two boys were and ten galleons richer than before.
