Harry looked distractedly over Hermione's shoulder. He was paying attention… truly he was….. As in past tense…. He sighed and tried to refocus. He just simply couldn't… Not knowing that Draco, the obsession of his dreams was wandering around some where around this very hospital… touching his talented hands to other peoples flesh…..
Harry saw red for a minute…. Just a minute he swore…
Because the next minute he was paying very close attention to the fluffy haired witch who was rambling away at top speed.
"Well Ron had Just sent me a message about worrying about you when A Huge power shock passed throughout the building… Harry…. Harry.. HARRY!" She glared at him when his eyes finally locked with hers "Harry are you listening?"
He shook his head. "I'm sorry Hermione, I've been extremely Distracted." Now he was the one whose words were going at top speed.
He didn't even hear her trying to stop him again until she was yelling at the top of her lungs. "HARRY! YOU KILLED THREE PEOPLE!"
….. "What…" His voice was so small…
~xX*Xx-*-xX*Xx~
Draco winced when he barely heard Harry's reaction. He pressed his forehead to the unforgiving wood and sighed. Gods, what he would give to be in there, holding Harry, He felt the wracking of pain as if it was his own… In a way it was…
"Harry…" the witch whispered "Harry, The power explosion….Harry, I'm So sorry…" Draco could hear the mud-bloods tears, and wanted to strangle her… how DARE she cry when She had to hold Harry… had to keep HIM safe…
"We had the entire ministry track it… There is no mistake… the power surge came from you… pure power Harry… Half the ministry is leveled… but that's not what killed them… Ernie… His heart just couldn't take it… And Rebecca was right down the hall, she got all of it… " she choked, unable to go farther for a moment.
Draco cringed, his heart breaking when he heard Harry's voice. It was so quiet… so cold and distant… so calm… when Draco knew he had to be breaking inside…. Because he himself was…
"Who else?… Herm… I have to know… Who else…"
"Harry…. No body blames you… we don't even know HOW…."
"Herm…"
"Harry…. Oh Harry…. It was Ginny…"
Draco closed his eyes.
~X-*x*-X~
Harry closed his eyes. ~No…~
He had broke up with her when he started having the dreams… It hadn't felt right… It still didn't. Don't get him wrong… He would always love her… But he would always crave Phan- Draco more…
But to have her dead… Oh, God, What had he done? How was this possible…? He had never killed anything before… not even an ant on the sidewalk… even in potions, he had Hermione kill things for him… He was a protector… It was in his blood, in his soul… after all, he was Voldemort's opposite right? ... Even Killing said evil fiend... He had never really hurt Him had he? His last spell towards that evil man, had been a disarming spell, not a killing one... Technically, Voldemort had killed himself... Harry was just the tool he used to do so...
"…You've been asleep for three days" Hermione rambled on.
A day for each death…
"Herm… leave… please…"
"Su-Sure, Harry…" she looked lost as she left… then startled as she was exiting, as she rushed away, Harry thought he heard fiercely whispered words, then she was gone. He turned to the window, defeated.
"She was visiting Ron… If I heard right… None of them knew your power would develop like that… It's not your fault."
Harry wanted to chuck something at the males head, until turning he realized it was Draco… then he just dropped his shoulders, and gave up… wasn't that pathetic?
"What?" he watched ever so slightly amused as he watched Draco make his bed… strangely without magic… in fact as he refilled the flower vases, folded his clothes… every thing he did…. He was doing the muggle way…. What…? His thoughts echoed his words.
"Harry…" he spoke the word like it was something precious then suddenly as if catching himself. "Potter… Now is not the right time for informing a fool of important things." Draco stiffened his back. He was the doctor… Now was not the time to hold Harry close… Maybe he would never get that chance again. Only in their dreams… yes only in their dreams…
~XxX~*~8~*~XxX~
Days later the ministry was still trying to discover what to do with him… As for now… they had decided to just have him on house arrest, of course they couldn't put him in his own house…. They had to have him out of the way of new… victims… Oh god… even thinking that word made Harry's insides clench and make his body threaten to empty it's self.
Of course they also had to put him close to some one they could trust to watch him… That's how he ended up In Draco's House.
Of all places and people, Draco was the only one brave enough to take him in, not even his friends dared… Luna was the only one who offered… until she was fiercely reminded by said Slytherin that she had twin boys to consider….
And this couldn't get anymore awkward could it….
For the last six days, he had been here… and he STILL had yet to see Draco use magic… why… he still had yet to puzzle out… when ever he brought it up, Draco would tell him quite coolly..
"Potter… You are still a bigger fool than you ever where."
And damn it if he didn't sound sexy saying it… even if it was an insult.
