Harry POV

Harry left Draco in the infirmary and headed straight outside to find Remus Lupin. It was nice to have your father's best friends close by. Usually when he wanted to talk he went to Sirius, but not for this. Sirius had proven himself all but useless in this type of thing. He found Remus in the school's garden. Harry thanked the stars his free period matched up with Remus's.

"Harry it's great to see you. Grab some gloves and help me pull out some weeds" Remus tossed him some gloves they got started.

"So Harry what's on your mind? You look just like James did when he was stumped."

Harry was secretly pleased that he looked like his dad in something. He sighed and said, "It's Draco. He passed out in Siri's class today. He apparently hasn't been eating or sleeping. Snape came in the infirmary and yelled at him for it. He said something about Draco punishing himself. The way Snape said it made me think that Draco has done it before. Of course now Snape's watching him like a hawk."

"Well it sounds as though Draco is having a hard time. Maybe his parent's death affected him more than he let on. I remember seeing him at their funeral. He didn't cry, just kept up that Malfoy façade. Who knows? Draco is about as shut up as Severus emotionally. I think it's a Slytherin thing." Remus said chuckling.

Harry didn't laugh. "I told him I loved him Remy. He asked, well demanded to know why I gave a damn and I told him." Harry idly played with a weed.

"And? What did he say?" Remus asked, stopping too.

This time Harry did laugh. "He hid under the blanket." Remus laughed with him.

"It sounds as though you've shocked him to the core. I will say though that having the one who defeated Voldemort tell you he loves you is kind of daunting."

"That's why I love him Remy! To him all I've ever been is Harry Potter. Sure we competed in everything, but he never treated me different form anyone else who crossed his path. I just feel like he's the only one who'll ever see me for me and not the bloody Boy-Who-Lived."

"Then Harry you need to tell him all this. You should try spending time with him. That does not mean following him around like you've been doing. All that's done is made him jumpy." Remus laughed. "I don't think I've ever seen Mr. Malfoy run so much since I've met him. You know your father did the same thing with Lily and she ended up hexing him for it. Try talking with him, get to know him like you would with any of your other friends."

"You're right. I guess I have been going about this the wrong way. Thanks Remy. If I had gone to Sirius I have a feeling he would have suggested hair pulling or pranking him or something." Harry said smiling.

"Oh no doubt he would have. He tried the very same thing with me until I turned his hair pink and yelled at him." Remus replied and they both shared a laugh. They started pulling weeds again. "So did Padfoot do the HeartSong Spell? He's been itching to do it since the first day."

"Yea, you should have heard everyone's songs." Harry then began telling him what everyone had for their song and they laughed some more. He also told him how sad and lonely Draco's had sounded. Remus suggested some things to help cheer him up. Finally it was times for dinner and the two made their way back up to the school. Sirius met them at the entrance.

"Prongslet! Moony! There you are, I've been searching everywhere for you. Where were you two?"

Remus snorted and rolled his eyes. "Typical Sirius. He looks everywhere but where I told him I would be. We were in the garden, I told you this and I even left a note. How thick headed are you Siri?"

Sirius grinned sheepishly. "Sorry Remy. Anyways you're found. So Harry how is my fair haired cousin? He did seem rather pale all through class. I would have asked him about his health, but like his mother he does tend to give a "Stay Away From Me" vibe."

"He hasn't been eating or sleeping. Snape found out and tore him a new one for it. Now he's watching him like a guard dog to make sure he's taking care of himself. He's even giving him Dreamless Sleep Potion to make sure he starts sleeping." Harry answered walking along side of his godfather.

"Well if anyone can take care of my cousin it's old Snivellus! Now let's go eat I'm starved!" Sirius started a jaunty pace towards the Great Hall.

Remus sighed. "Such a child." Harry laughed. "Reminds me of Ron."

As they entered the Great Hall Harry immediately searched for Draco. Sure enough he found him sitting in his usual spot at the end of the table. He was slowly eating a bowl of soup. He kept looking to Severus at the Head Table, who simply motioned him to keep eating. Draco would grimace every time and continue.

Satisfied Harry sat at his own table next to Ron and Hermione and began eating himself. Hermione saw him and straight away began asking him questions.

"Oh Harry there you are, where have you been? I was worried. How's Draco, is any better? I was going to wait for you in the tower, but Ronald couldn't get a grip on his appetite and practically dragged me down here. How was your afternoon? What did you do? I hope studying."

Harry let her run out of steam and then he laughed and replied. "He's fine now Mione, Snape's making sure of that. I spent the afternoon in the garden with Remy pulling weeds and talking so I can say I had a good afternoon. Sorry though, there was no studying, but I did learn some things about my parents."

"Thas goo mae!" Ron said all the while stuffing his face. Harry was surprised he didn't choke. Hermione went to scolding him about talking with his mouth full and all was right in the world, Harry thought smiling.

All throughout dinner Harry sneaked glances at Draco. He had eaten as promised, though he didn't look as though he enjoyed it. He also looked over the tables as though he was searching for someone. When his eyes met Harry's however he blushed red and looked down quickly. Harry was secretly pleased. A rush of inspiration hit him and he now knew how to make his next move.

Draco's POV

Madam Pomfrey had released him an hour Harry had left. He went and got his assignments from the classes he missed. By that time it was for dinner and even though he wasn't hungry he went because he promised Severus. Though a part of him was scared that Harry would carry out his threat. Draco was still reeling from Harry's confession of love.

How could he love me? He doesn't even know me. All I've ever been to him is mean. How could love what he doesn't know? All these thoughts ran through his head and Draco couldn't help but feel confused. If Harry had made him paranoid before, it was worse now. He would have to work that situation later. For now he'd have to focus on getting though dinner.

He chose soup because he figured that it would be easy to eat. He had almost finished eating his soup so he looked up to Sev to see if it was enough. Severus gave him a look that said "keep going" so he sighed and kept going. He tried a sandwich next, but it was making him feel ill. It was then that he began to feel as though he was being watched. At first he thought it might be one of his Slytherin housemates finally deciding to strike. Trust a Slytherin to lull you into a false sense of security. But when he looked up they were ignoring him as usual. He started looking over the other tables trying to find the culprit when suddenly his eyes met Harry's. He felt himself go red and he quickly looked down. He should have known it would be him. A quick glimpse back up at him revealed a very smug looking boy. It made him nervous. It was his experience that a smug Harry was a very dangerous Harry.

Finally dinner was over and Draco made his way over to Severus. He found his godfather talking to Black and Lupin. He cursed his luck. He made his way to Severus's side and waited beside him, looking at his feet.

"Mr. Malfoy, I trust you're feeling better?" Lupin asked.

"I'm fine, thank you." He replied.

The conversation moved on from there and Draco let himself get lost in thought. He was brought rushing back to reality when a hand came crashing down onto his shoulder. He gave a yelp and shot off the ground. He whipped around to find Harry behind him. Not really caring who saw him, Draco opened his bag and pulled out a paper bag. He immediately started breathing into it trying to stop his panic attack.

"Sorry, didn't mean to scare you." Harry grinned sheepishly

Draco simply stared wide eyed at him, the bag expanding in and out.

"Yea, so I wanted to see if you wanted to go and hang out with me in Hogsmeade this weekend." Harry said slightly fidgeting.

Draco looked at him, then to his godfather who was ignoring the situation completely. He looked back to Harry and nodded without thinking about it. Harry beamed at him. "Awesome, well I'll meet you after breakfast then here in the hall."

Draco nodded again and soon Harry was gone. Finally bringing the paper bag away from his face he looked back at his godfather.

"Sev what did I just do?" He asked almost like a child

Severus rolled his eyes and sighed. "You appeared to just have agreed to go on a date with Potter."

Draco's eyes went wide and he simply said, "Oh." before he once again fainted.

Severus rolled his eyes once more looking as if he was inwardly cursing his luck. "Good god." He whipped out his wand and began levitating his godson.

"Will he be alright Severus?" Remus asked concerned.

"He'll be fine Lupin once I remind him of the dos and don'ts of Slytherin etiquette." And with that Severus glided away trailing his godson behind him.

Sirius watched and then started laughing. Remus looked at him, eyebrows raised. Sirius explained himself.

"My poor cousin. He's got a Potter after him and we all know how futile it was for Lily." That being said he too left.

Remus raised his eyes to the ceiling. "Heaven help us."
