Snape knocked on Draco's door calmly. Nothing came from the inside, he knocked more frantically this time calling for his nephew. Absolute silence, not even a groan of annoyance. "Snape muttered to the door and it flew open. Draco's room was dark with one streak of light from the bathroom.
An all white bathroom now had semi-dried blood on the floor and counter top. Horror scrolled across his face watching his only friend was on the floor in a destructive state. Snape did not dare tough him. He called for poppy and had her treat him in the bathroom. She quickly cleaned up the blood and gave him three doses of a serum for his fever and the spasms.
She looked grim and quickly levitated him to the infirmary for emergency therapy. Once there Draco had recovered enough to be left to bed rest. "Snape when did he eat last? He shows dangerous signs of malnourishment and he seems to be self harming. Did you know about this?"
Snape sat there stunned and shakily said " He was getting better. I hadn't seen any signs for self harm. I was even joining him for all of his meals and made sure that Pansy was forcing him to eat. How could he...", Poppy interjected sitting next to him, " Its not hard for Draco to hide these things. He has a brave face Snape. My biggest concern is why did it start again?"
Snape could only mutter " I don't know."Draco was quietly muttering as he traveled through his terror ridden dreams. Some parts gave way to a giggle and others forced spams of terror. "Poppy, How long will he be like this? Can you ease his sleep?"
She nods and he relaxes as she puts a serum on his forehead rubbing it gently to soak in. "I can't say how long. Don't allow visitors for now though. He is struggling."Snape understands and stays the rest of the night next to him grading papers. He fails every paper knowing that they're all terribly done from the first sentence.
Ron, Harry, and Hermione all sit in the corridor as Ron smokes a cigarette. They were all sitting around talking when Hermione plops down next to Harry. She smiles and sets her hand on his knee, "Hey, Whats up with you today. I normally get a better conversation out of you." He semi smiles at her and moves her hand to his and mutters "I am worried about Draco not liking me anymore."
She almost gasped and started a rant but Ron was present and he would have smacked her otherwise. She flinched outwardly at the thought that he may do that here. She quickly asked Harry "Lets go for a walk?" Ron jolted up and gave her a dirty look. She had on a tight lipped smile and spit out "Ron, sweetie I just want me and Harry to have a heart to heart..."
Rolling his eyes he waved her and Harry away. As soon as they left the room she breathed a sigh of relief. Harry seemed oblivious to her fear of Ron. Ron quickly went to his private box with pictures of Hermione and Harry kissing at the lake.
He knew it was his power over her. Ron's father always did encourage all of the Weasleys to partake in the muggle world. Why not the fulfilling part? He slowly unbuckled his pants and whipped his penis out in front of the fire. Staring at the pictures he became a brick. Touching and stroking himself, he always finished quickly. He could never last.
As Harry and Hermione walk outside near the lake she begins to ask cautiously "Why are you so worried?" Harry thought carefully and responded with "I love him!" She smiles and hugs him. She sits and breathes out, "That's great Harry! I hope everything works out for you both. Can I ask what makes you think he doesn't like you though?"
Harry mumbles ,"He didn't show to school today, Ron said he was avoiding me." At Ron's name Hermione almost broke down in tears whimpering "Don't ever trust Ron! He is not our friend." He looked at Hermione confused but then he saw her legs were very bruised and he realized suddenly. Ron was an enemy, a dangerous enemy.
"I need to go check on Draco, then. Hermione, do you need a place to stay tonight?" she noodded and he took her hand all the way back to Slytherin dorms asking Pansy to take care of her for him. She was horrified and willingly took her in. Harry then went back to Ron furious. He startled Ron causing him to jump up knocking his box to fall onto the ground,"Oh you're back!" He quickly opened his arms and stepped in front of the box.
Ron seemed smug and Harry finally understood he was warped. Harry cautiously moved forward and Ron shifted so the box was out of view. Harry noticed that and asked "whats in the box Ron?" He smirked and chuckled "oh this box? Nothing important just some, leverage"Harry frowned and mumbled "What kind of leverage?" Ron suddenly went pale.
Suddenly solemn and annoyed "Some things to keep whores in line...Don't worry about it Harry." Clenching his fists Harry smiled and got closer "I understand Ron!" Ron's relief was evident as he relaxed and sighed putting his hand on Harry's shoulder ,but it suddenly turned to violence when he quickly pushed Ron and threw some punches. He collapsed and he pinned his old friend, blood wouldn't stop and neither did Harry.
Dread filled him as he picked up the box. He opened it keeping Ron down and dropped it immediately. He got up and kicked the box into the fire. What he and Hermione did did't matter. A kiss of comfort on her cheek and a tight embrace when Ron was cheating on her, that did not mean she deserved this. He sent Hedwig with a message of what Ron had been doing and forced Dumbledore to be ban him from school.
Harry tied up Ron to the fire place and quickly rushed to Draco's dorm hoping to settles things and find his love. Worry flooded him and even made him faster ,but when he got there. No one answered.
